evic fail.

[omen304]

So, today at work i reach into my pocket and grab my evic and my heart drops. at first i thought it was the carto came apart from its base but no. the top cap of the control head snapped off and disconnected from the board...

anybody have any idea how to reconnect the wires?? I can see where one of the wires came from but I'm not sure which one came from that connection or where the other came from. i can solder but i need some guidance.

Well that's one reason why I sold mine

Ouch...that's how all my twists died, decapitated in my pocket.

might want to just contact the vendor you bought it from and ask them for a replacement or return...

The eVic is not Pocket Friendly!

I have already had mine come apart in a similar manner.
A little solder and a couple drops of epoxy solved the problem for me. Compared to other similar Battery mods it is a bit fragile. However you have to know when it has a micro computer built into the control head that it might be fragile.

vape on!

I think it is just a metal pressed into plastic thing.

that is a HUGE pocket setup though, hope you get it figured, when I put it im pocket I take whatever is on top off or I bring my twist with me and leave the eVic in the car

A razer lycosa in the background. =) What games do you play?

 

[omen304]

as far as contacting the vendor goes, i got it through a co-op here so not sure exactly who the vendor was. i can try bucky and see if he can give me any info though i guess. i know i could just solder and glue and it would be fine, just want to make sure i get the wires in the right spot.

i play a little bit of everything, and i do mean a little. hard to find the time with two kids, haha.

yeah, its pretty big, i ussually have a 350 tube on it though which makes it smaller and don't keep it in my pocket most of the time. oh well, one too many times i guess.

you could fire it up with a multimeter on the terminals to see what wire goes where but i have seen a picture of one disassembled here in the forums maybe a picture of one taken apart will help...https://plus.google.com/photos/1093...3378031585?authkey=CLTyqKCc7K6M0AE&banner=pwa

Yes!! Thank You! this is exactly what i need. now i can just solder the wire right back on, Thanks Jazon1!!

 

[jazon1]

your most welcome i would use some good strong glue after the soldering is done so its less likely to happen again.

Ouch! Bummer!
Looks like pressure on your atty/tank caused the top to torque off. I bet it happened when you sat down?
I'm making sure if I pocket mine to take the tank off first!
Usually I dont walk around carrying an 8" tube in my pocket. Gets me some weird looks.

lol my wife usually says "is that an ecig in your pocket or are you happy to see me" when i do that lol.

 

[SRusackas]

And I'd reply: "Both"

 

[jazon1]

lol that would be a safe reply.

I'm just curious how it not only came apart but both wires actually broke away from the PCB. I've seen a few drop damaged and all but one still had one or both wires attached.


Will not be any warranty - first, it was cooped. Second Breakage is considered customer abuse.

Well....this JUSTTT happened to my eVic as well. Like 3 minutes ago. But i dropped mine on my tile.

If you look closely on the circuit board, there is a + on the very top right side of the circuit board (when looking at the screen which means the button is behind the eVic from your POV) which indicates where the red wire goes, exactly in the same space except on the left side is where your black wire goes.

You will need a soldering kit. I had to open my second eVic that i kept with the plastic wrap on and use it for now until i borrow my friends soldering kit.

Sucks that the eVic is not drop friendly or pocket friendly. Gonna have to buy a case for it to carry it around
