Innokin itaste SVD "fire" button not firing; no LED light

[highc1157]

I have an itaste SVD and the mod has power but isn't firing and no lights on the firing button are lighting up like usual. Can't smoke

I've spent 3 hours trying to push the button in every way possible, switching out batteries, no such luck except one out of every 400 presses no matter how hard or what angle i press will it actually fire and vape

Welcome to the "My SVD don't work club". I am on my third replacement. I assume it was working or are you having trouble with the first use? If first use here is the manual:

iTaste SVD USER MANUAL - Best Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette Manufacturer|Best Vape MOD| Innokin

There were some serious problems with the switch and or the board. If under warranty get it replaced. Although there is no guarantee the replacement will last long. I am on my third one and I parked it still working as a memento to the "Edsel" of APVs. I recommend the Sigelei Zmax v3 or V5. Also the MVP is great if you can deal with a box shape. The new SVDDna is a different chip. Good deals on the MVP right now.

Its not under warranty. I got it from a sketchy vape shop with a sketchy ... owner for $60 and he was mad at me for enforcing the price he told me on the phone it would cost. When in reality he "misunderstood" the model I was talking about and was thinking I was talking about another mod. This was 8 months ago and no receipt and I left with him mad at me, I could tell

 

[VapieDan]

So it was working?

 

[highc1157]

It was working for 8 months until today when I was experiencing the described issue

 

[VapieDan]

Amazing you got that long out of it. I got failures on day 1 , Two 2 weeks, 1 month.

 

[VapieDan]

You are in luck there is a good vendor in your state. Desert Vapes. Good prices and fast service. Even if you can't drive there I am sure mail will be quick. They have the Sigelei round tops v3 and v5 and MVPs at decent prices.

They have the V3 Flat Top Sigelei for $39.95 back in stock. Outstanding mod for the price

 

[highc1157]

Many thanks . I don't know much how mods have changed in the last 8 months. Could you explain the difference between the versions, the flat top and round top, and what the best one would be for fat clouds with a 30amp limit on my 18650 and omega drip tank

 

[VapieDan]

Neither. Your SVD was a limited wattage. If you desire cloud chasing you best look into the DNA board mods. I assumed you were staying with the same performance mod.

You don't say what's on top of it, or what resistance it is.

Are you putting something of too low a value on it? That can cause it to turn off...

I've been using mine for about 10 months now. Button went "soft" some time back, but it still keeps on working. But last rebuild on one of my KFs was a bit lower than I normally shoot for, and it won't fire on the SVD.

Try cleaning all the contacts in the device as well as the 510 connection , you may need to find some long swabs to reach inside the device but a good cleaning with alcohol might do the trick for you , it sounds like your not getting solid contact with your batteries .

 

[highc1157]

When I woke up today, I tried using it and now it's firing fine... Hope it doesn't decide to stop working again

 

[highc1157]

I take that back, it's kind of working and kind of not. It's firing like 20% of the time

 

[Spunkybm13]

I got same issue, its a shame b/c I like the SVD. I Think I'm gonna buck up and go for the Provari now. American made quality. You get what you pay for I guess.

 

[highc1157]

I am goin to purchase a new mod today, dont know whats better,

sigelei v3 or apv v3 ???

 

[Ryan Bennett]

I sometimes had this happen but I just had to push it a little harder
