Desperate need of help. 5+ mods dead in the last 2 months.

[donwuan]

Long story short, in need of a reliable mod. 3 battery type mod if possible.


Been vaping for years(since pen was popular) and never had any real issues. Only buying when bored and trying something new.

In last few months I started getting into the 3 battery mods. My first wismec 2/3 lasted about 6 months. Buying replacements has been a nightmare. A few of the newer mods have all died within 2-3 weeks of usage. Latest was wismec realeaux gen 3. On week 3 and getting no atomizer found message.

Currently on vacation but luckily I always bring my eleaf pico for backup.


I vape dual .5 Clapton coils. Nothing special, same setup for over a year now. I don't baby my stuff but definitely not horrible treatment. Any recommendations?

rx2/3 are ...., i have 3. 1 was DOA in dual battery mode only and replaced by the vendor, another died recently, because of the battery doors?. Supposedly many fail because of a bad solder on the board.

I have 2 rx200s' in daily use for a year still going strong and 1 of my 2 istick 200's still in use and going strong with the other in the stash. Those are the only triple battery mods I own so far. My other dual battery mods that are in daily rotation (3 x hohm wrecker g2's and a cartel revenant) have no issues with 0.25 ohm builds running ss in tc mode with 60 - 95 watt preheat.

If you are set on triple battery maybe try finding something higher quality (american made?) with a dna board? But I would suggest you maybe consider some well reviewed dual battery mods with few complaints like a smoant battlestar or charon which are both high on my to buy list.

Get a Lost Vape Triade or Think Vape Finder. Much better build quality. Yes , they are more money ($100-$150) but they last and last.

Fuchi was the other company I used. All the 2-3 battery mods gave me issues. All my really old 2 battery mods work. Not in the greatest condition though.

I will check out the dna board mods

BTW the No Atomizer Found message has nothing to do with your mod. Thats a problem with the atomizer...with the connection.

It's usually the atomizer, but it could be the mod's 510 connection. @donwuan, did you try it with different coils and different tanks?

Lol nothing wrong with mod works perfectly on all my old stuff.

From what I read/watched spring loaded 510 gets pushed down.

Yeah I have no faith in the newer stuff so i always bring backups. Whole little travel kit of coils, tanks, mods.

Definitely sounds like the mod. I think Wismec has had some issues with their 510s.

 

[stols001]

I think they fixed that issue post-production in the newer batches. You may be able to send it in for repair/warranty. Good luck!

i kinda avoid Wismec/Joyetech products for now, their 510 connection are wonky, my Evic Primo died from just 1-2 months of use.
probably get something with better build quality (made in USA mods), or something from Smoant (Battlestar/Charon) if you're looking for something cheaper. Or get a Voopoo Drag, havent got one myself (though it's high on my wishlist), but I heard good things about it.

All 3 of these are at the top of my list and a local shop just got the black resin voopo drags in. Waiting for a reply on what they are charging for them then hoping I get another one of their 25% off coupon mailers I got the last 2 months (but used on batteries previously). I like my hohm wrecker g2 form factor so I think I will like the drag and it get's great reviews for TC performance.

I went thru 3 Wismec Products before swearing off of them for good. One went Doa and the other 2 had 510 problems. I love my Smoant Charons and Battlestars. Durable, well made devices from Smoant.

The newer wismecs have problems with the 510. On the newest one you might find if there is a 510 fix - there might be. I heard wismec was supposed to have that problem addressed with the gen 3, apparently not huh.. talk to wismec though, your mod should definitely still be under warranty.

Well, as a whole that leaves you looking at higher end mods... and/or perhaps trying the smoant... not heard anything bad about it. But if you have the money try going for the high end... some of those are awesomely nice. Also expensive.
