I'm getting the same as Stickman, everything seems to be working then I come back to vape and 5 red blinks.(its maybe pink not red the red looks different)

battery getting empty?
I have this too sometimes - at the end of batt-life. Waiting a bit and retry or reducing the temperature helps, but soon after that "Continuous slow LIGHT BLUE" blinking starts and then batt cut-off.
Maybe current too big/voltage goes down too much on a cold coil/battery?

I might be wrong...but that's how I interpreted it. You're right, can't find it in the manual. I thought I've read it somewhere and considered it a feature

PS: Using Efest V2 batteries

 

[blackwater]

No no no nooooo... Blackwater my friend, imeo means that he missed a small part of them, otherwise no Proteus would work!!!
But you're right. The way he wrote it can change the meaning.

Ahhhh, I see now. I thought he meant all. Thanks!

from time to time my Proteus does not fire and blinks red five times after releasing the button. This is especially reproducible when I vape and (more or less) immediately push the button again.
Sometimes this happens also after not using it for a minute and Proteus does not seem to get out of this state until I unscrew the venting cap and put it on again.
As your instructions do not state what the "five red blinks" mean it would be good to know what this means as I'd like to figure out where this problem (basically it's a kind of random "fires/fires not" experience) is coming from.

They are white blinks Stick but because this white is a combination of 3-4 colours it seems more like orange. Its the fact that your batteries are not charged or they are bad. Half of my batteries are bad because a lot of fake ones are in the market

 

[imeothanasis]

Ok. Sounds good. How are you going to deal with 700 bad chips Imeo? Sounds like a nightmare for you.

As Stelioss said, maybe some chips out there are not programmed Black. Maybe 1-2% I suppose

exactly as you said Woita

Ok sounds reasonable then.

I'll confirm !!!!!!
I had 2 batteries AW IMR 14500 for almost 3 years waiting Proteus. They aren't working for more than 3-4 minutes and 5 orange blinks appears!!!!!!
I thought it was Proteus problem but then I buy a new one and....... thanks god!!!
Proteus is working for 1+ hour continiously with the temp in 5 blinks (220c).

In my opinion never put the temp above to 220c. If we want our batts to last a little longer.

 

[imeothanasis]

Same happened to Brem, same to me.

Guys, please buy new batteries to avoid problems

 

[imeothanasis]

Stelios, can you please share the info everywhere? You know what I mean. Thank you for your help! I have a looot of work right now!

And we have a winner fake efest batteries, thats ebay for ya, I just checked the scratch off code

 

[MikePilgrim]

Hello everybody,
yesterday i´ve got my Cybrillion and today the ups-guy brought my Proteus to me. Yes, it seems to be my GG-week.
Now I´m on the hunt for good 14500-batteries. Do you have any advice for me? Unprotected or better protected?
Sanyo UR14500P with 840 mAh (unprotected) or Efest IMR 14500 V1 (unprotected) or the protected Kepppower 14500 with 840 mAh?

Kind regards from germany
Mike

 

[woita]

afaik you should (can) only use unprotected as it's not a mech, VIR will protect you

Be sure to buy nipple-top bateries. Afaik the Sanyo only come in flat-top and The Efest V1 are flat as well(?)

I've got the Efest V2 from akkuteile.de - since you're from Germany I guess that's a safe way to not get fakes. (But I've yet to check the scratch code on mine, will do so right now)

imho the Efest and AW are the only ones usable for Proteus that are available from akkuteile:
14500

Edit: Scratch-checked the three I got from akkuteile.de last week - all genuine

Seems so, yes.

Btw, has anyone tested Proteus with flat top batteries? I know Imeo said we should use button-top, but maybe it's worth a test. I have some flat-top Efest V1 which perform very good (Pene v4 & Nemesis mini) and their top is slightly raised, so I've not yet given up hope.

 

[MikePilgrim]

Hy Woita,
thank You for your sugesstion, yes, i´m a customer of akkuteile.de. I will order this Efest V2.
Greetings from Reutlingen (BW).
Mike

it seems that they are everywhere Dan. We need a very serious source for them

 

[Thiesemann]

Ordered my efest v2 accus from akkuteile.de.
Scratchcodes verified, that these are originals. I don't know, if they ship outside germany or D-A-C-H.

Don't be stingy on accus!

Was discussed some pages back

It doesnt work with flat top batteries woita. You can put magnet on the battery but I dont really suggest it

The mech part isnt made yet and when it will be made it will be sold separately

there is no problem with the chip Black but there will be a problem with it in case the magnet moves while you screw the parts together to vape. It has happen to me twice.

 

[monkkx]

hi all! I received my proteus today, and couldn't manage to get even a single blink or light whatsoever ... I've tried with 4 AW IMR that are fully charged, cleaned the contacts of the electronic with some mesh, but nothing ... would anyone would have a suggestion?
