Thas why my gut, a sketchy board connect (weakest link). Hope it's that simple for ya. But I always say check the air filter first. Wish I could get a board for my ZNA as cheap as a Slice.
Good luck.
OK sloppy work from who ever put the mod together
Found the issue Immediately, I am actually surprised at this point that it ever worked at all. Must have been pushed up against the port just enough to work until it started getting loose of barely connected and worked loose. The Red Wire lead on the positive pen was just laying in there up against the board port as the solder never took or was snapped off when the board installed in the shell. I desoldered the board connector and resordered the wire to the board connector.
Works fine now.

Congrats. I'm psychic. Along with quite a few PC tech's I've met in my day. Makes for more billable hours.
Also a good recommendation for takin these things apart, strippin and reskinning (or whatever). Hmmm, mebe somebody could make a biz out of that…the cerakoted/powder coated/dial your own skin Custom Splice. Some of us certainly have enough of 'em, lol.
Good luck.
Go for it, might be the same sloppy job of assembly. Maybe one of the solder connections is broken or loose.
Only 2 screws holding the thing together. Easy to take apart
Hey Beamslider, I'm looking for any old .dfu files for the Slice for you as I type. If I find any I'll get ahold of you and post here, but so far it's tough sledding. I looked at my 3 Slice's and I have already updated all of them to 1.2.4, I usually keep all old update files but in this case I didn't for some reason.

MacTechVpr's Psychic Hotline. Good job Mac.
I'm still on the lookout for any Old .dfu files for both the G2 and the Slice, I'm intrigued.
I just ordered another Slice from Vaporcube @ the $24 deal (a Red LE this time), this will make (4) Slice and (5) G2's that are in my possession. Still looking for any .DFU files though. Mac, you have any ??
I just got a PM from a friend that said he thought he had some older .DFU update files that he will sent me. That's for both the G2 and the Slice.

Don't. Strictly APL servers this side. Run latest(?) pub Slice (Software 4, 8/16/16, exp menu), zip pack somewhere. If better alt pls LMK.
Good luck.
I'm looking for Beamslider, but all I know of is the latest 1.2.4 and the first .dfu file, 1.2.3 for the Slice. I'm over on the VU site and think I might be able to procure some .dfu files there. We will see anyways.

That's the problem I'm running into right now Mac, none of the places I usually got them before is still showing them for DL, not Vaporcube, nor the Hohmtech site have them listed anymore. I'm running out of options. I've done several searches, but no joy.
I just received my Red Slice LE today in the mail from Vapor Cube. I'll prolly open the box and try it out later, just to make sure it works OK. I'd order the other that they have, but I can't warm up to that Teal color, and that's all they have for sale right now, Red and Teal.
Tryin to check with some of my PC pals I've set up to see whats they got.
Good luck.
I decided to get a couple more 26650 batteries and grabbed a two of the HohmTech ones. Don't know if they are really 32A continuous but I am sure they are more than enough output for my usage at around 18W anyway. The run time on them is certainly better than the other 26650 batteries I have at 25% longer.
I was reading the spec sheet for the Slice, and came across the 5th line from the bottom, how would one say 0.000001Ω. That would be a good "home science project" to try to get as close as one could to that magic number with a hand built coil. I bet Mac could do it though, I don't even have test equipment that will read that low.

I can't read it either…but I've prolly been there a few times.
No I have little test gear anymore. My last calibrated multimeter involuntarily found a new home a few years back. I've yet to replace it which has saved me mountains of time in terms of added complexity. No, you guys, you've been my test instrument where appraising strain's been concerned. And a marvelous laboratory this has been in ECF along with the hundreds of wonderful folks here in S FL and over the country who've afforded me the opportunity to be of service. Grateful to you all.
Good luck.
I just fired up my newest Slice, the Red LE, and seems to be working Great, although it has the 1.2.3 firmware installed. So far I notice no difference in my Slice's with the 1.2.4 firmware versus this LE. What might the difference be in firmware versions on a practical basis (I'm running a Kanthal 28g, 3.5mm single wire coil in TC/TL mode/xxx) ??
I am noticing the same feel with this Red LE's paint job as I did with my (once) Black SE's paint job (which I had to strip after only 3 weeks of use, due to the paint bubbling and then flaking off), a very slight tackiness sensation to the touch (that's with freshly washed hands mind you), almost like the paint wasn't fully cured. I have learned to wash my hands almost compulsively since I started acquiring these Hohmtech Slice's, to the point that my hands really need added moisturizer applied to them, washing like 12 to 15 times per day on a normal basis.
Are you still looking for the FSK_S_1.2.3 .dfu update file for your Slice Beamslider ?? I have that file on my new Slice LE and could try to get it off and send to you if you would want me to.
