Is repair service still available for the iPro? I am getting no lights at all.
Removed the top cap and all connections are secure. I am 99% sure it needs to be sent into the buzzpital.

batteries charged ?? Yes, they work in my other iPro
Take off the atty /carto first: YES
Do you have a RED LED light ? NO
DO you have a Blue Led light when the button is pushed. NO
DO you have a Blue led with the ATTY/CARTO ON the unit ? NO
Do you have BOTH red and Blue led lights ? NO
Do you get a blue led with the atty/carto ON but no vapor ? NO

Oh no If the pcb is dead, then no...there are no more replacement parts left. Did you try the alcohol soak to see if a good gut cleaning might revive it? Clean the bottom cap and tube threads?

the threads on the bottom cap are delrin. I made sure the base of the body is clean, and tried both bottom caps. I guess it is time to buy a new ecig... I remember Buzzkill mentioning some parts on hand, was not sure if they were all gone... this is my 2nd failed PCB in this ipro in about 18months I have had it.

Give him a holler at notcigs@gmail.com and see what he thinks. I know that he still has pcbs and parts for the BP, but I'm pretty sure the IPro ones are gone. He or Terri will be able to answer for sure.

 

[arkador]

gutted it, and hooked my PCB to a DC power suply and checked it with a DMM, the PCB is definateley failed. switch still works, but the voltage does not pass, appears to be a short somewhere in the PCB.

Confirmed none available for repair. RIP iPro #552 17 months old.

 

[Bovinia]

I'm sorry Ark

Is there a lower limit to the resistance on the Infinity Pro? I'm trying to build my own coil, but need to know what the lower threshold is for the resistance for the iPro to fire?

 

[Bovinia]

Hmmm, that's a great question! The IPro came out long before rebuildable coils, and we recommend that you use 2.0ohm or higher resistance. The better question would perhaps be amp limit, which is 2amp on the IPro if I recall.

Probably not the best idea to use it if you are trying to get into cloud chasing I'm afraid. Especially with the IPro being discontinued, we have no parts left for them if repair is needed.

 

[gvegastiger]

I'm not trying to get into cloud chasing. I just want to build my own coils bc its a lot cheaper than buying atty's and burning through them in a matter of days.

 

[Bovinia]

That's true! I have to admit that I don't know anything about building coils, and what resistance is normal or achievable when wrapping, but I would try to stay as close to 1.5 and above if possible for the IPro. As I said, it's really a matter of how many amps you are trying to draw and if the older type of PCB can handle it.

Good Luck!!

 

[gvegastiger]

I built my first working coil yesterday and I *think* its around 1.3 ohms and its vaping just fine. I'll add a few more wraps next time to get above 1.5.

 

[Bovinia]

That sounds great, congratz! If you wrap one that tries to pull too many amps on the IPro, the safety over current protection will kick it off, so no worries. Thanks for letting me know
