DSE 905 V4 Blinking Help plz

[West Florida Vapor]

Does anyone else have a problem with the DSE905 V4? I put a new atty on and it blinks like it is dead. Put a new battery in and the same thing. The LED codes for the unit I have seen are as follows.

5 fast blinks - unit initialized (battery in and ready)
5 slow blinks - battery dead

I am wondering because this unit supposedly has short circuit protection if something is going on. Sometimes this doesn't happen and sometimes it does. I have been thinking possibly it could be flooding of the atty as well. I'm at a lost here, not sure what to think.

Same issue here. I got mine about a week ago.

I have had it blink when removing/adding attys. I have also had this happen while vaping. It's not the 10 second cutoff. It will just blink a few times and continue vaping.

I have also had the the light go out and come back on while taking a draw. It usually happens about 3 seconds into a draw.

I was wondering if I should contact my vendor for tech support.

Hope someone in the know will respond.

I contacted my vendor because they had a 14 day warranty.. luckily mine will fall right in this time frame They said it is a common problem in those. I sent it off today and ordered a dse901 passthru to hold me over. I'm glad they know there are problems with them. Mine had all the same symptoms as yours and sometimes would just blink five times over and over no matter what atty I had on. I have tested all the attys with an ohm meter so I know they are good. They told me that some of the units have wiring problems and that they are temperamental with certain attys and the units favor drained attys. Which leads me to believe that if it floods in the least bit it causes the short circuit protection to kick in. What a pain but I do love the thing!!!

That makes sense

I noticed that the flash issue was caused by two factors in my case.

First was the 510 atty on the adapter. The 901 atty had no problem.

Second was a flooded atty. I dried out the 510 and have had no problems since.
