Itaste 134 putting out only 1 volt?

[ledbthand]

Standard "my 134 won't fire" scenario. Took it apart and re-soldered the wires. Took it down to the local vape shop and they tried several different tanks and batteries to no avail.

Multi meter only shows 1 volt when the button is pressed.

Don't know if it's the variable switch, but putting the dial halfway between two settings still has a green light and shows 1 volt.

Any ideas?

Time for a new mod.

If I pull out the guts and wire in a mosfet and button strait to the battery and head, would that work? Or would there be problems with the whole case being the negative terminal?

The case is the negative terminal on most mech mods. Yes you could convert it to a mosfet mech. Just do a good job and insulate things well so you do not get any shorts in there and cause BAD battery venting.
there are several vids on You tube on how to wire up the mosfet, etc.

Would the watt selector switch cause any problems? I think removing the board should remove any potential issue with that as well, right?

As long as it does not short anything out it should be ok but out of the circuit. Just sitting there not connected to anything.

Thanks man, I ordered a button and some MOSFET's. Too cool looking just to throw away.

I am the same way. I would likely convert a VTC Mini to a mech if the board blew up.
Just put a little DVM in were the display normally is.
Just do good safe work and you will be happy with it.

I don't use my SVD at all anymore, but it was my first real mod and I couldn't bear to gut it

I ordered a 12mm switch but it's slightly too big. Any recommendations on a 10 or 11mm switch? Needs to be long enough to go through the body of the mod, a little under a half inch maybe.
