134 mini obit/eulogy

[somdcomputerguy]

Well the 134 mini I have is permanently a (real cool looking) paper weight now. It had gotten to the point of being fine operationally for a few weeks, then I had to 'let it catch it's breath' for a while in it's case. Now the 'fire' button just doesn't work. I can turn it on after pressing the button 3 times, but I have to press it real heavy. In order to get the thing to 'send power' to whatever tank is on it, I have to slightly loosen and the tighten the end cap. 5 out of 10 times that doesn't work though. Sometimes it has a mind of it's own and the thing will just send power to the tank by itself..

The batteries I use in it are good. When I insert a battery or unscrew the end cap all the way off, then start to put the end cap back on, the LED flashes correctly. When it fires by itself, or I am able to 'work around' the button fail, the auto power cutoff happens when it should.

Someday I might try to disassemble the 'VW part' that has the bad switch in it and try to fix it.

I've got one barely used that just sits. Got it just before the wave of higher wattage boxes came out. PM if you're interested in some sort of trade. I can put it up in the classifieds to make it all legit.

I've bought another one (from MadVapes), and it's in the Post Office waiting for me. I guess I'll have a pair of extra battery tubes and another 510 threaded clearo now..

actually prefer the mini, feels better in my hand. the regular is to big, it might be ok for going for long walks in a bad part of town, could use it to defend yourself.

I got my mini from MadVapes today. I got the black one this time. I'm sure it'll (the color) grow on me, I wish it was matte instead of shiny though. Both of the eGo type batteries I use regularly are VV, for some reason I like VW more, but in my simple mind VV and VW do basically the same thing..

form what ive been able to find on the good old internet, the wattage is better to have if you can only have one setting to choose form. looks like a great price.
