I got the vv box from madvapes and it stopped working the very next day! I'm not sure what went wrong. Any suggestions?

What batteries are you using? I have a set of gray Ultrafires that won't work in mine. Another minor problem with some boxmods is that the + contacts don't touch the battery. Slightly bending them cures it.
edit: should have added that the Ultrafires don't work because the protection circuitry trips, they work in single battery mods though

Bad karma? Probably not. Just bad luck in the crap shoot of the consumer marketplace. Every so often we all come up snake-eyes and get sent a product from the 1-2% that are faulty or broken, or worked to pass quality control, but then broke as soon as we got them. The fact that it's inevitable on rare occasions doesn't make it any less a drag.
I've had pretty good luck with the eight Madvapes VV Boxes I've purchased over the past year. Of the two that have built-in voltage displays, however, one voltage display stopped working after three months. It simply never lights up anymore. Probably just a fault in the wiring, but I can't diagnose it because the innards are all encased in JB Weld or epoxy. Sending it back for out-of-warranty repair was way too much hassle, so I just live with the fact that it's now effectively the same as my other Madvapes VV boxes without a voltage display. Still aggravates me a little, though, every time I use it.
You're under warranty. Send it back!

You may just have the voltage wheel turned all the way down. I had that happen one time and thought mine had stopped working
Don't those have a master on/off switch? Double check it to make sure its ON. Sounds silly, but I've done it myself.
Yep that's what was wrong...thanks so much guys!
Cool! That's one of the saving graces of human fallibility. Sometimes we think that something is wrong ("out there"), when the only thing wrong is us. LOL.
Ah, the Madvapes VV Boxes are great little devices!
