Innokin Itaste SVD

[Talons001]

Hey all,
I have a Itaste SVD, and the firing button is starting to go. I have been searching everywhere for a fix for this and haven't been able to find much. I've tried a few different things (tightening negative spring, different batteries, etc.) but nothing has completely solved the problem.
So my question is, has anyone found a fix for the firing button?
Or what are some VV/VW mods similar to the SVD?

My svd has just stopped as well. Putting in a battery everything lights up as it should but it won't turn on. If I shook and banged it enough I could get it to turn on for a couple of draws but it kept turning itself off and now no matter what I do it won't turn on, so I'm putting it down to the main button as well. Mines only about 6 month old. I'll keep a watch on this post in case someone does have a repair. Good luck.

No fix that I know of.

Unfortunately, being a Made in China mod means no manufacturer support. The business model is "We make cheap, you buy cheap. It break, you buy another."

Just another reason to spend some extra cash and buy a USA made Provari. Built to be more dependable and durable, and in the rare event that it does break, you can get it fixed.

Or, you could buy a couple of SVD-like Chinese mods and hope that you get lucky that one will last. Your money, your choice.

Why Provari?

I have been considering a provari. My only question is the button functions of it. From what I can tell it only has one main button, so is that used for altering volts and watts as well?

The 2.5 version Provari is variable voltage only. (The yet-to-be-released P3 will add variable wattage.)

Both versions use a single button menu to access all functions. It's actually not difficult to learn. I mastered it within 10 minutes of playing around with my first Provari.

Go to the 4 min 10 sec part of the following demo of the Provari for the menu directions.

Thank you Baditude! I'll probably wait for the P3 to come out. I'll have to do some research and find out when it is supposed to be released.
