Firing Issue?

[chrisdaman77]

I am not sure if this is an issue or normal. I am comparing this to my Vamo as it is the only thing I have to compare it to other that my smaller batteries. When I push the fire button there is like a 1-2 second lapse where is does not fire right off. It does it no matter what is on it. On my Vamo it fires the second I hit that button. It's not a huge problem just a little strange. Do I have something set wrong? It is in VW mode.

It should be half a second after you press the button...

Ok maybe I am counting too fast..... Thanks

Also, ensure your contacts are clean. This can slow down the system also.

 

[chrisdaman77]

Yeah I always clean them with every tank change/fill. It just seemed weird. Did not know if this was the norm.

Yea same with mine - it's the newer version with the 2 screws (not sure if that matters) but i count a half second to second delay

If the Delay is a few seconds or more - Fresh Battery issue.
There seem to be a good number of eVics that do not like to respond to a Fully charged Battery.
Could Be an eVic firmware/sensor glitch kicking over voltage protection in.
Could be an Over charging issue - Above 4.2v charged
Could be some batteries causing the glitch

Most start firing properly between 99-95%

Guess it's time to email Joyetech, I'll let everyone know if they have a clue.

ETA - So Far, confirmation they are aware of the issue:

Dear friend,

Thank you for your email. Very kind of you.

Exactly,many eVic owners reporting same problem.
Could you please provide us the device serial number and Security Code.
We will check it for you seriously.

Look forward to your reply.

I will attempt to make them understand My Security code and Serial number will not Match as I have a recall replacement and they do not issue new security codes.

I would advise anyone with this issue to contact Joyetech Service with Details.

Thank you I will get on this when I get home

Could be an Over charging issue - Above 4.2v charged

Just wanted to add that 4.2V is the maximum safe limit.

If problem was indeed overcharged batteries, then the charger and/or the batteries should be replaced, for safety reasons alone.

If the "charger" is the internal eVic charger, then it's a defect. Maybe the voltmeter isn't correctly calibrated. In any case, I'd avoid it and get an external charger. At the very least, don't let it charge to "100%".

 

[chrisdaman77]

It has done it with either way batteries are charged and with all batteries.

It has done it with either way batteries are charged and with all batteries.

Do you know the voltage of the batteries when "fully" charged?

 

[chrisdaman77]

Without checking with a multimeter no but both devices are reading 4.2. Every battery I use.
