Help with my Vmax!!! I am about to cry =(

[Zac Seif]

I have a black Vmax 2.0

When i put the batteries in, it flashes the numbers (like its supposed to).
When I try to fire it, it just flahses the blue button 3 times- it doesn't release ANYTHING to my atomizer
I don't know if it's serious
I dont have anything else to use and i am freaking out. it's been happening all day and i want to go buy a pack of smokes after 2 months =(

I don't know where to post this im sorry

Does anyone know what the problem is?

your battery piece might of got pushed down, if its saying 0 ohms to all your tank devices

there is a fix for it, and if its something your not comfortable doing, your most trustiest vape site you use will probably be willing to fix it for you!

There's a vape store I go to but they aren't open until 11. I am really finicky because it's been 2 months with me no smoking ciggs!

What exactly do I need to do?

And to clarify, do you mean the device that pushes the battery into the main chamber of the device? I can take the battery out fine

Not having a backup is not a good thing.
For the price of 2 packs..........that you have already saved...... you should buy a 650 or 900mah and usb charger.

Have you tried different Top devices?
Have you cleaned the 510 connection with alcohol?
Have you tried a different Battery?

ETA - STRETCH the Spring a bit and clean the battery contact points. High resistance can cause it to not power back on.

Done all of those.

The only thing I did different was instead of using TWO 18350 batteries I'm using ONE 18650. I lost the other 2 batteries. And you're right, I need to buy another one.

Stretch SPRING
1x 18650 = 65mm
2x 18350 = 70mm

Spring may be collapsed

Shoot I'm sorry I have no idea what's going on with your thingy, but I had my main one die last Friday so I can totally relate. I pretty much went into a tizzy bcz it was first thing in the morning too. No morning nic... NOT COOL. But luckily I had a bunch of cigalikes left over to get me through until vape mail could reach me.. so I just wanted to encourage you to do the same. I hope your situation resolves soon, but don't smoke! You can get disposables or blus practically anywhere these days.

Hang in there and godspeed getting your thingy functioning again lol.

Always ALWAYS have a back up. To not have one is just asking for trouble. I have back ups for my backups. The blink means you have a short and its the battery protecting itself. Clean out your tank really well, use a Qtip to clean the battery terminals. After that, it should work. I had my ego flash at me, and it was because my connector on the battery was slightly moist and it didnt like it. I cleaned it really well with a qtip, and the inside of the tank I use too. It fixed it. The flashing means its protecting itself and not allowing itself to short out and die, which is a good thing. If you keep pushing it on a dirty connection, it will eventually fail.

Is there any way to test the coil?
If that was the case, would the device still get power? It still flashes blue making me think it has power.


And thanks Sharon. It's totally frustrating lol. Errr

Its a short, google it. Clean all connection posts super well and it will fix itself.

Mine sometimes will lose contact with the Battery. And then it is Off. I have to press the Fire Button 5 Times to get it going again.

Sorry to tell you this, but you cant use an 18650 in a Vmax if it were a Zmax you could that is more than likely your problem.

Yep, sorry but I just confirmed with LiteCigUSA. Time to find some 18350's

The VMAX uses 18350 batteries. "We suggest the use of the IMR 18350 batteries which are sold seperately."
