Have I killed my MVP2

[keepitgoin]

sorry, dont shout, I know there is an MVP2 Owners thread, but as a Noob I need 20+ posts to start a thread there.
I have had my MVP2 since October 2013, about 4 months, and I have used it, heavily pretty much all day, every day since. I have noticed that it doesn't hold charge for as long as it did when I first got it, it only lasts 10(ish) hours now on a charge. Yep, it's a Genuine innokin product that I put 10ml++ through a day. Thankfully I treated myself, just before Xmas, to a VTR and 6 18650 2200mAh batteries. I'm glad I did, because earlier this evening I sat down at my Computer, put my MVP standing up on the table, sipped my cuppa and heard my MVP firing, looked at it, and yep it was firing, by itself. I quickly wrestled it into submission and detatched my iClear 30....... my MVP would no longer Fire, or accept a charge, indeed it had no life at all left in it


My question is... anyone know what may have happened, more importantly, does anyone know how to fix it!! I had been having to "Lift" the Pin on my MVP2 recently, as it sometimes didn't seem to connect when I swapped over tanks

This will answer your question, scroll down to person with the cat picture Lol

apparently it has a " cleaning cycle " check to see if your battery is dead

I am looking into Warranty at the minute, it's just that I use my MVP all day, at Work, and carrying around a VTR several 18650 Batteries, and a charger isn't very practical for me, I'll have to 'til I can replace it, I was going to get another one (Back ups for Back ups) come Payday, but I'm going to have to cash in some Brownie Points with my Mrs (if I've got any)and hope she can spring for it!!

Nope, it's not that, I already checked. I have been having to "lift" the Firing Pin sometimes though, could be something to do with that?

Increased charging cycles will deplete the overall capacity and longevity of the lithium battery over time. So the reduction in battery life if you are going through 10ml a day makes sense to me. I have the same problem with phone batteries as I beat the crap out of my phone by doing everything on it ALL the time. And usually have to replace it about a year in, while other people who don't... oh say run 6 hours of pandora a day on it... don't have to.

The complete lack of functioning and random firing seems - icky, however and... yeah.

Yep, dead as a Dodo! (or Passenger Pigeon)

I just looked at a video on Youtube on how to stop the button on the bottom of the MVP2 from sticking out too far when standing it up, but the guy had already disassembled his MVP2 first, any Vids on how to take one apart (AND still be able to put it back together!!)
