Pico squeeze problem

[ghostrider1971]

Afternoon guys,

I've had a problem with my Pico Squeezes

Same problem - both units - a couple of days apart.

Using a Maze V3 - SS316L coil about 0.40 ohms.

On two separate occasions, I seem to have almost had a dry hit and the battery inside has started to feel very warm. Both used Samsung 25r (new batteries).

After the "incident" the mods (both) have refused to fire again - even when a new battery has been added. I get no battery light at all

Have they "burned out" for some reason?

[phtumshk]

Most definitely dead by the sounds of it.
Unusual to have it happen to 2 units.
Did you buy them at the same time?

[ghostrider1971]

phtumshk - I did - ordered them together.

I've recoiled my RDA, cleaned the tank contact and cleaned inside where the battery goes - absolutely nothing still

[phtumshk]

Thats the trouble with electronics once there dead there dead.
I was wondering if its a dodgy batch as you got them at the same time.

[ghostrider1971]

phtumshk - I think you may well be right

I appreciate they are cheap, but I'm now squonkerless

Also, I've ordered another two earlier this week - confidence in them is slightly dented

[phtumshk]

I understand your dismay but theres not been any bad news about them on here like the old clopour debacle of a few years back.
Chin up fella the new 1s coming will probably out live you.
Ive just picked up my first squeeze tho it was broken to begin with I couldnt believe how small they are Im definitely looking at getting 1 for out n about.

Really sorry to hear this ghostrider1971.

Like phtumshk, I hope your next batch of Picos is up to their usual standard.



Assume you have tested the batteries and atty on other mods, to make sure it's not them that are at fault?

Must admit, I've concluded one of my Pico's is indestructible. I had a very tight atty on it and pulled the 510 assembly clean out by accident when trying to take off the top cap. I just pushed it back in and it continues to work fine... sometimes, it's the luck of the draw.

beedee - Thank you

I'm a huge Pico fan - had 2 squeeze and have got 3 normal - I think they are cracking, solid mods usually

Hi mate. Please dont give up on the squeezes. Ive only had one have a problem before out of a total of 6 and it later turned out to be my fault. (Over squonking so it leaked down into fire button!)

Is the regular pico the same size as the squeeze?
I couldnt believe how tiny the squeeze was.
Everything looks loads bigger on telly.

The squeeze is bigger but both have the same 18650 way of inserting.
