Hey guys, I got mine this morning and it works great with the two stardust's it came with . But all my other tanks show as shorts!

I have tried another stardust, a vivi nova and a DCT. All varying resistances and they all indicate as 0.0Ohms and the LT says LO when I press the trigger (I am guessing this is the short protection kicking in).

I called my next door neighbour round and tried the same tanks in his older LT, V2 I think, and they all worked fine!

I have contacted Alex via the VH website in case it needs to go back, but I figured I'd see what you guys think as to what is going wrong. ???

Hello & welcome weisbowsky

I think folks may have missed your post due to the thread moving so quickly. Hope someone can help you.

Give Alex a call his number is in the contact section on his website . I did when I had problems today and he sorted it out.

Could LO mean low battery, and the LT has stopped firing to make you put a freshly charged one in?

its the weirdest thing, weisbowskys lr dct worked earlier but now doesnt and now only the stardusts supplied seem to work, i brought round a 3ohm carto and that dint work and we tried the 2.4 and the 2.8 nova heads with no luck but it all works perfectly on my inferior LT. and battery was showing as 3/4 full

its a beautiful bit of kit tho, BLINGTASTIC

i think we managed to work out that its something to do with the centre post on this and think its all working now..

indeedly doodly, but i dont call him weisbowsky as its too much of a mouthful, i call him Тысячевосьмисотво its easier

I think it was the vivi nova tank having a slightly longer connector than my other tanks which pushed the LT's connector further into the rubber seal, making it difficult for the stardusts to make a connection.

Alex suggested playing with the LT's centre post to see if it makes a better connection and that fixed the problem I was having with my other tanks

The vivi nova still reports as a short if I screw it in too far so I'm gunna have to play with the centre post on that next, or just give it to staf

Thanks for your quick response Alex, I was getting quite nervous when I was down to only 1 stardust working, I didn't want to disconnect it incase that one stopped as well.

Unfortunately mine isn't working.

I've followed the instructions but nothing. Tried one of the pink LT batteries & one of the blue ones. Both were fully charged.

Going to have to contact Alex about it

Does the screen flash 3 times when you're screwing the battery cap on?

If it does then don't do the battery cap up full.

Also you need to do the 5 presses pretty quickly.

I find mine is a bit "finicky" about the above points.

When I change the battery now I just get the battery cap to just grip, then turn it on then slowly screw the battery cap on, if you screw it in too tight it stops working then you have to remove the battery or leave the cap off for 10 seconds then try again.

Hope this helps.
