Joyetech eGrip USB Port Fix Or Battery Replacement
Hi all,
I thought I'd do a small how-to on how I fixed my eGrip USB Charge Port.
- Remove the 4 screws from the base plate & remove.
- Remove the rubber Insulator from the top of the battery & de-solder the positive Yellow wire from the battery & the Red ground wire from the tube, you can de-solder the batteries Black negative wire from the PCB (it's difficult to get at) or you can cut it (which I did) & resolder (& Insulate) it when you replace the battery.
- Prise up the lug (it's just push fitted) which the Black wire is attached to the PCB, with a small screw driver.
- Remove the 4 screws from the top plate & 1 screw which is located inside the tube where the battery was.
- Remove the top plate & remove the tank.
- Remove the button (Set the dial to 20 watts, so you have a mark\position when you come to replacing it) gently pulling it outwards (I used long nose pliers with some insulation tape on the tips so not to damage the button)
- Remove the 2 screws on the plastic end of the PCB & slide the PCB out of the housing.
- Now you need a steady hand for re-soldering the USB Charge Port back on to the PCB & maybe a magnifying glass (possibly age dependant, I did :-) ) Mine had completely fallen off, if that's the case, you have got 2 joints which hold it to the PCB & 2 very small pins which feed the PCB, both of which are the outer pins (1 on each end, the 3 in the centre aren't used)
- Before you replace all the components back in the housing, plug a charger in the USB port & make sure you have the blinking LED under the button on the PCB.
- Once that was all done, I gave everything a clean & replaced all the components back in the housing.
- One modification I did before I replace the base, was to fit some fairly stiff rubber to help support the USB Port & hopefully stop it falling off in the future (design flaw)
- Finally all back together & working like the day I bought it :-)
Hope it helps anyone who's had the same problem, or just wants to replace the battery at some point.
If I've forgot something or not explained anything that you're not sure of, then just ask & I'll try to explain a bit more, or even show some more pictures!

Hi Phoenix, I have never tried the real thing so I can't tell you that this is an exact clone but from what I've read it's roughly there or there abouts, but for me it's a very nice vape. Cap Vanilla Custard 12% Cap Banana 10% TPA Bavarian Cream 2% TPA Dulce De Leche 1% EM/Sweetener to taste Someone else made this recipe but a bit weaker and loved it, this was what he/she used, Cap Vanilla Custard 6% Cap Banana 6% TPA Bavarian Cream 2% TPA Dulce De Leche 1% Long time lurker but I thought It's about time I posed something  Hope it helps |
