Think good thoughts!

Finally got ahold of joyetech. Been a pain in the you know what, but they're replacing my carpet and offered me whatever product they made for free that I wanted. So they kinda mad it right. But they still shouldn't have something like this out to begin with.

That's good news. I'm glad they're doin that. But you're right. They either don't have the capacity to thoroughly test these mods or just don't. Do you have a contact you could share?

Wow... Thats more than I would've expected. Good on them for doing that.

That eGrip looks pretty sweet...

Glad your ok but stop buying that china crap...I mean we all started with it and have experience similar accidents..it happen to me while vaping on a zmax when I first started...I removed it from my face in time because I smelled the fumes....you could've lost you life in a fire which is very scary. Glad your ok and please stay safe...

 

[thesoulsniper1]

In my eyes there responsible. If I'm paying $70 for something id at least expect it to work correctly. I don't care where its made. I know you get what you pay for but when it comes to batteries, the protection circuitry should work. I know you get what you pay for but come on. Your selling something just about everyone I know has make the thing safe.

 

[thesoulsniper1]

I wish I did. I just called customer service and asked to speak to a supervisor. Haven't heard from anyone but a manager yet.

Christ, this has me a bit freaked now. I've had my iStick 50W for a couple months now and haven't had any auto-firing issues but still...

 

[Ohm Gnome]

Well, 90-day warranty is good!

At least for Jason!

Unless they try avoiding me until 90 days are up. I wouldn't be shocked if they did. This is a very serious problem. Dangerous situation. Which the day after mine first started I went and bought a new mod. I was fortunate I had the money at the time.

That is not really an option, is it? Are you ready to chuck your TV, cell phone, refrigerator, computer, etc? Let's not bash China. They invented the e-cig.

They may not be the best at CS, but they are improving.

I was at work where a ton of us vape away all day long. I use a pioneer4u ipv mini2 70watt box mod and guy i work w was using an eleaf 50 watt mod, he had come over and asked if id watch his stuff while he took care of business sure why not. Im a machenist so its really loud and cant hear much going on around you but any who all sudden i hear bang i turn and look thinking heck did my button stick and i went supernova nah i look to my buddys station and his mid was flaming away. Scarry stuff eleafs are.

 

[justinlm24]

2 months and counting, no issues with my 50w. knock on wood!

I use the usb cable that came with it through an apple or other rando usb wall adapter in a surge protector and havent noticed the istick getting warm

yeah, surge protectors are all you need

Local shops in Ga have signs saying" warning do not charge your devices with Apple products" . I haven't asked why because I don't own any Apple stuff. Not trying to scare you just feel like I should tell you

 

[DaveP]

I had mine 36 days. Never dropped it. Didn't drip or use any leaky tanks. I babied it . Still the fire button started sticking going to 10 every time. Then started automatically firing

I'd contact the vendor and ask for a replacement. I've heard that Eleaf honors 90 day returns.

Some of the tablet chargers are high amp ... much higher than the 1A suggestion for ecigs. 2A is OK for 26650 batteries, but the 18650 recommendations are 500ma and no higher than 1A.

I use an EasyACC 4 port charger from Amazon to charge most everything. Port 1 is 1A, Port 2 is 1.3A, The other two ports are 2.1A. I use skinny USB cables for the 1A line so that I know it's the one for ecigs. The others have fatter USB cables plugged in for tablets. That's just the way I prevent plugging the wrong one into an Ecig. I can grab a cable that's plugged into the charger and know what it's good for.
