So my device stoppede working when it was in sleep, which means right after firering it shuts off.

I tried 2 different batteries same issue.

This happened after using 29awg 4 wraps 0.8ohm.

I thought maybe there was a short or something and checked the coil.

But then I just changed from dcdc to PWM and back again, I havent had the problem since.

Anybody else that had this issue?

Om suspecting the soldering

Try wiping the Battery ends. Makes more sense.

I have had mine shut down a couple of times. Wiping the battery off solves it every time. This time of year Moisture build up is easy, e-liquid also builds a film.

Flipping settings likely caused a contact surge.

Ok I will try. The funny things is it just shuts off, can it really be the moisture, I really hope so :)

I wiped the battery cap, but should I wipe the contact also inside the mod at the plus connection???

If the Vendor has shipped you a replacement you are good to go.
This is not a common issue.
Trying to figure out Broken is a wast of time.
Just return so they Manufacturer can troubleshoot properly and see what, if anything should be done to avoid future incidents.

I meant how many months is the mod lasting....

Question cannot be answered yet - this is a new mod and only about a month released.
BOTH on mine work fine.

just want to say I have similar probs with the IPV Mini ...

Been using it barely a month, suddenly now the display OLED screen doesnt light up or only if I press (and maintain) bottom part of fire button.The two buttons for UP/down dont ever SHOW on display screen ...they ARE all functioning though ... stillmakes it almost impossible to correctly use the thing since I cant change wattage/voltage/settings very easily(cant see whats going on without pressing Fire button and maintaining pressure...but then it FIRES!)


Im kinda expecting the whole thing to die soon ;(......and to end up with NO display at all .

This happened from one moment to the next,changed battery &refilled tank and when i turned it back on =this!
Have since tried everything, changing batts,cleaning ...no change.

Im very disappointed with this.... :(
