IPV4 Firing on it's Own

[Drago1919]

So I've got an ipv4 with a Lemo 2 nickel build on it. I've used the same Lemo 2 with same build on other mods with no problems. On the first day I got the ipv4, probably after about an hour of use, I placed the device down on the table while opening up some mail. After about 3-5 seconds I heard it start firing on its own! No joke. I grabbed it and hit the fire button and it stopped firing. I figured that maybe the button got stuck, or was sticky (even though there was no reason for it to be sticky), so I pulled the batteries and toggled the button on/off a few dozen times. Still nervous, I set it aside until I had some time to look around to see if others have had this problem. Now it's today, a few days later, and I decide to give it another shot to see if it was just some freak event. After about 30-45 minutes of use, again, it fired on its own. I was in the car, took a hit, then 3-5 seconds later it kicks on! I let it fire, on its own, for about 15 seconds. Apparently there is no 10 sec cutoff? Really freaky if I left it on the couch and it heated to the point of flaming up!

Has anyone noticed this or heard of this before?

Well that sucks! Be sure to take your Lemo 2 off the device when it's not within eye sight or your immediate reach. Have you reached out to your vendor for a replacement yet?

 

[Drago1919]

Not yet. It's such a pain to deal with for an $80 mod! I'll contact them tomorrow though. For now I'm not keeping anything on top of it. That would actually be the ultimate test for a temp control build though, huh? Drain out two 18650's cotton burn test haha...

I wouldn't fool around with it.

I would take the Batteries Out of it. And then I would contact where you got it and tell them what is Going On.

No issues with the one here. I would contact the vendor and good chance they will replace or offer you another item if your confidence in the ipv4 is shaken.

i have had batt drainage issues with mine, but no auto firing at least so far, there is a video in the "ipv4 pre-order thread"
pg 42, post [HASHTAG]#833[/HASHTAG] of some weird stuff going on with one...i'm not surprised i would imagine we are going to see some more problems arise...also taking my batts out over-nite just-in case.
i have reported my issue with the Vendor.

Just contacted the vendor to see about replacement. I really like the form factor and ease of battery changing. It's a nice device and IPV's, in general, have always been solid. Let's see what the vendor says.
