I guess the days of sales and good prices are over huh...

I just had 3 mods break on me recently was thinking of replacing. How's the China to US vapemail scene?
Fasttech has been pretty good for me this year, less than two weeks. I've read many posts that people are having trouble with Sourcemore shipments.

All in all nothing seems to have changed in that you get your stuff! Except shipping prices are higher than what they were 2 years ago. Fasttech is still free shipping after $20 but obviously their prices has gone up for the products.

Ouch! All 3 at once? Care to share which ones they were?

Innokin Cool-fire Z80, Uwell Crown 4 Mod, and squonker...

The crown 4 Mod was well used, so I can't complain there. The Cool-fire Z80 I really really liked, but it honestly didn't last very long with daily use, but I'm still considering another because I liked it, stuff happens and it's innokin.

The collosal that didn't last 3 months I'm not wanting to replace... But another squonk would be nice.

Curious... what was the failure mode?

The Cool-fire stopped turning on

For the coolfire...

IIRC, I believe someone (Ken) had this issue with a Kroma-R well over a year ago, which I helped fix with one of the following (I can't remember which)...

With battery out...

- Plug it into a PC through the USB, wait 20 seconds before you give up.

- If that doesn't work, unplug then hold the fire button while you plug it back in (battery out), wait 20 seconds before you give up (fire button depressed the whole 20 seconds).

- If neither of the above work, repeat both accept with the battery in this time.

Also, cleaning both the pos and neg battery contacts on mods that won't turn n is always a good idea, too.

I'll try that and see how it goes. I do a good job of keeping my contacts clean, so that's all I'm skipping.

It's working again, that seemed to do the trick!

Thanks so much. Sorry I wasn't online earlier to mention to you :)

Wow, that's awesome. I wish i knew why this is even a thing, but as long as it works then I guess that's good enough. Now you only lost 2 mods!

I'm not sure because I wasn't home but do think that my wife had to sign for the ecigmafia package.
It was the 1st time I had to sign for a from USPS delivery but it was for something I’m not supposed to get in Massachusetts so no complaints from me!
