Everyone I have seen post about this says their mod is now fried. That really sucks...hopefully they'll be able to get replacements free of charge
I tried out the update, and from what I understand, their "update" software had some problem with it where it flashed the firmware incorrectly, which resulted in some issues... As for me, it definitely had much higher output than indicated on the screen, and what I believe was a "feature" to "flash heat" the coils by pulsing a high voltage before sending the normal stable voltage was too much considering a lot of users run single coils with lower wattage... On my dual dripper with a lot of metal though it was actually really nice... coils heated up instantly with no lag time...
Anyway, the point is, I'm sure cloupor will replace the bad units, but... I do have to point out one thing... I kept up with this incident quite a bit... and I am by no means defending cloupor... However... One thing I did notice reading all the stories that actually had lots of info... In almost all accounts the first thing the people who "fried" their units did was to crank it up to 75 watts...
Now yes, I get it... I did testing with a dripper (my atomic) to test out wattage above 50... However, I was also running a dual coil 1ohm build on it. (2 2 ohm coils).
In lots of cases I saw people with .2, .3, .4 builds who immediately cranked it to 75 watts and fried their unit... Well, I don't even have to do the math to know that they blew the 10amp limit of the chip right out the window...
Don't get me wrong... YES, if the firmware was working properly it should have stopped that from happening... but maybe it's just the engineer in me, or maybe it's working in I.T. and doing software upgrades and things all my life, but no matter how positive I am that something is "supposed to work perfectly", I don't trust it when it's new... I test it... gradually... Even when I tested the RDAs I didn't just slam it up to 75 and hit it... I worked up about 5 watts at a time... and again I knew that my 1ohm build would keep it well within the 10 amp limit even at 75 watts... Just a different mentality I guess....
So yeah, I'm not saying this is what happened in EVERY case, but I saw LOTS and LOTS of cases of friend ones where that's exactly what happened... "I set it for 75 watts on my plume veil with a .3 ohm build and it fried as soon as I fired it..."
