Yeah, I would definitely contact whoever you purchased it from and get it sent in for repair as soon as you can. Bummer!

It's now retired until I get off the boat and can send it in. It stuck on again, this time it woudn't turn off, I took the batteries out and put it away. Oh yeah, the button still clicks too! Don't be fooled by the button click, it apparently don't mean anything. That makes me wonder now about the rest of the circuit.
what!! sorry to hear that tasteles, mine did that this morning, light didnt turn on and No vapor, so i was mad at my self for being so stupid and not changing the batterys, but i found out that the battery cap was a little loose, so i just tighten it and it worked fine, but hope it goes well with the return, i might have to think about it, since the only problem i had was blowing a LR atty,(which they do say not to do) but ill see what happens with mine, theres what like a 90 day return with vaprlife.
I shipped my joker back this morning after a similar experience. It would not turn off. It didn't kill my atty, but it scared the crap out of me. Luckily I quickly realized what was going on and took the batteries out. This is not a good sigh.
I'm a little concerned about My Joker. It Killed 5 atty's after one draw on each. It took me 5 attys in a row doing this to give up. (I really wanted it to work) For $169 you think this would be top quality!
MY vaprlife pass thru is awsome ( I vape it at least 8 hrs. a day Mon-Fri. and use it in the car on road trips, and have had it for a while now and have only killed 3-4 attys, and the quality is the best of all the stuff I have.

I got a response to my email that I had sent them but I sent it before it stuck on. They told me to email them again when I would be ready to send it in for repair and they will give me an RMA number. I'll wait till I get ready to go home before I send them another emaill about the new problem. They had originally said they thought something was wrong with the LED and I should have no problems using it till I could send it in. But,, I think it's a little bit deeper than that seeing that it's stuck on now. LOL

Mine wont shut off with an LR either. All the lights go out, but I can hear the atty continue to sizzle. If i let it go any longer, I'm sure it would pop.
After the long weekend, my atty connector is completely silver. It didn't chip off, but rather faded away.

That sucks that there's these kinds of issues. I know they kept saying it was delayed because they wanted to make sure that the safety features were implemented.

Wow, thats crazy. Do you have any way of testing the voltage? Even if the proper resistance wasn't there, you'd only be vaping at 6v, or slightly higher. That really shouldn't be popping attys.
If you can check the voltage, I'd love to know.
I sent mine back, but I'll tell you this. While this was happening the device got very hot and felt like a unregulated 6v that would not stop. I could smell a burnt electrical smell. I just assumed the switch shorted out. Hope they can fix it.
Dont have any of that stuff. I though that I just got in some weak atties but with 2 diffrent brands I just put it down. Shipped it back with an RMA# today... sorry. You would think with just 6V max of battery power that is all you would get. My other 6V and 5V devices never killed an atty's like that. Have a few last only a day but this was wierd!
Well some wierd things i found out today, so i was shopping around to SEE if i could find these batterys for the joker in stores, and i ended up in a small watch shop ect. type store called battery time, so the guy inside did have the CR123's but after a little talking about charging and what not, he then pulled out his tester to test volts, so one battery gave us 3.27 which is normal, now i asked him to test the joker, so just the joker under no load gave Me 6.52 volts, now my big/main question is:: Is the Joker suppose to give out 5v with no load? or About 5v with an atty? since the atty will drop the volt, if not then that means im vaping at 6+ volts and using the joker without any pertection!!
So sad to think i might be sending in my joker for repair, or maybe even a refund if i can, but first i have to order LR attys for my tornado before i do send anything away.

I think the reading are about right for 5v when atty is connected, 6+ volts would be correct without a load.(atty) attached.
There's a thread started at the vaportalk forum about the issues similar to mine, LED not working but still producing vapor. So far I haven't seen anyone talk about theirs being stuck on though. Looks like there's still issues with the unit. If it's bad parts or quality control, I don't know.
I have noticed that my connector has faded some also now, not that much of a big deal to me as it is not working! The big question is, will it last now once it gets fixed again? That's a lot of money for something that's not gonna last long.

Yes, tell me about it the only reason i got it was cause of the safety, but now im thinking about just getting a Chuck mod, alot cheaper and as long as your careful with the batterys it shouldnt give any problems, but first i have to think up a way to make the button a little more pocket friendly, maybe cutting a piece of rubber with a hole to fit around the button, just level with it, then using some of that shrink rubber tubing to hold it in place. Ill have to think about it.
Hmm this wa a timely read for me - Im sure they'll sort out the issues (they want to sell them after all lol) but I'm looking for a 5v device and this was one of the ones I was looking at - I guess I'll keep looking /sigh
Thanks everyone
Im gonna stick with my GLV.. Has a resistor and works every time..

yea i still use mine, but i just placed an order for a Chuck, why do i feel i should have done that first? .... i could have had 2 for less then the price of the joker, and by now id probably** (have a big headache and dont feel like spelling .... right) what like 4 chucks? oh well, i have a friend looking into vaping and i might just let him borrow the joker.
