Itaste svd new problem?

[cao232]

My itaste has been running good ever since i finally got it too work.lol.I have noticed that when i hit the fire button for like 3-4 seconds, it will blink green 8 times then shut off.I havent been able to find out what it means in the manual but does anyone have any idea why it does that? Also i notice when im using it, i notice sometimes it sounds like its not firing at full power for like a second then goes back to normal.So i get my vape smoke and then none and back to normal.just really strange.

Anyways,im not completely sure if this thing is gonna crap out on me, but what can i get thats has more better build quality up from the SVD and have the same functionality as an adjustable mod? The same design would be nice too.I checked out the mechanical mods( i think there called) but you can adjust the watts which seems kind of important.thanks for the help.

You cannot adjust Mechanicals. Lots of safety factors with going with mechanicals. Are you sure it is only 3or 4 secs til it flashes. You might want to time it. It has a cutoff after too long of a VAPE as to protect the battery from over heating. Should be between 8 to 10 secs. This is for safety reason. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it. Just means you can only take a VAPE no longer than that at a time. Good luck & VAPE ON

Sure you can. Add a Kick2 to a mech mod and you can adjust and regulate the wattage all the way up to 15 watts.

Lots of safety factors with going with mechanicals.

ONLY if you are building your own low ohm coils and running without a Kick.

Use a Kick and it's regulated and protected. Use off the shelf retail coils and they will all be 1.5ohm or higher which is well within the safety range of any decent battery.


Mech mods by themselves are no more dangerous than a flashlight. It's the COIL that makes them dangerous. When you build a coil that exceeds the battery's capability and try to run it without protection. That's when it becomes dangerous. But you'll NEVER run into that unless you're building your own coils. Any retail coil will be designed to operate within the safe range of an eGo battery.

Your right it probably is a safety thing with the battery.I dont know why i didnt think of that before, just figured it would be in the manual.Thanks

 

[cao232]

I never used a mechanical mod, but can you use a tank on them? I was hoping to use my aerotanks on them if possible.I was hoping for a unit i wouldnt have to rebuild the coils on.

I know you can use a kick. But I am a firm believer that you need to be an experienced vaper & know about the mod your are using and study and then study some more about safety, batteries before you go cloud chasing. Too many people just jump off the bridge without knowing how to swim. If you are going to VAPE, you should at least know about the hardware you are using.

Absolutely.

I've got my wife setup with a 69 mod with a 2900mAh 18650 battery, Kick2, and an iClear 30S tank on it. Looks like an eGo on steroids, and hits like one too. Best part for her is that it lasts 3 days on a charge. She fills the tank once a day and swaps out the battery when she comes home from work on the 3rd day.

She came from an SVD. She loves that little 69 mod. Hits every bit as hard as the SVD (Kick set to the same wattage and using the same tank and coils), lasts longer per charge, and isn't much larger than the SVD with no tank on it.

Who said anything about cloud chasing?

Too many people run around like Chicken Little proclaiming the sky is falling when there is no danger whatsoever. Here's what you need to know...

Standard, off the shelf tank with retail coils that are more than 1.5ohm in resistance.

That's it. Beyond that you really don't need to know anything more than "is this battery designed for ecigs" and how to set the Kick.



Allow me to make an analogy here. I build and drive race cars as a hobby as well. I could spend an hour telling you about the safety and dangers of different tires on different surfaces, and for my type of racing it's all important to know.... but is it important for your average daily driver on city streets to know? Is it important for you to know how one tread is better than another in a high lateral G corner?

Mech mods by themselves are just flashlights with a different socket. They don't become dangerous until YOU decide to build your own coil and push the safe limits. If you aren't building your own coils and are simply buying retail coils for a retail tank then safety isn't an issue. All of that worrying and work has been done for you.

The svd is a great mod. It is my "go to" device. It works flawlessly. Like the other poster said. If you take a long vape it will shut itself for protection. It is adjustable. I usually have mine set between 8-11 watts depending on the juice I am vaping. Using the 18650 battery.

I think it the battery protection.I believe i was just hitting it for too long and try to cut it down to about 3 seconds.Does anyone know of the company that makes this mechanical mod in the l.a. area? All i remember from the review on youtube the battery conectors were silver coated and it costs about $200.00 or so. I cant remember the name at all.Also they are individually serialized.

Was just trying to make a point. I know about mech mods. Am a member of a local vaping group that that is all they do. But you would be surprised at the people who just start and will use an unprotected battery rated at 10amps and try running below 1 ohm coil and no kick. Just want people to be safe. I love the looks of mechs. I do rebuild my PT II coils with cotton. Grew up at the local racetracks. My dad raced before they set ETs and after. He also owns an auto mechanic shop. So I do know just a tad about cars.

No need to spend that kind of money for a designer mech mod.

Look online and find an Hcigar Nemesis clone. Fantastic little mech mod and only about $40-$60 depending on where you buy it. You may even find a local shop that carries them (I did). You'll also need to buy the Kick device to act as a safety device and allow you to set a specific wattage. Those are really cheap and you can get them for $5-$10.

You'll definitely want to replace the batteries and learn all about battery safety and such if you ever consider building your own coils. Any form of rebuilding other than simply replacing the wick and you need to know EXACTLY what you're doing before you start.

However, if you stick with the Kick and use off the shelf clearos and tanks, you're good to go with less than $70 invested.

I totally understand that point, and I'm sorry if I had a bit of an attitude yesterday. (Not a good day at work)

I totally agree with telling anyone with a mech mod that if they do ANY rebuilding, to thoroughly research batteries and safety first. Absolutely, that is vital to know.


But I don't want to scare away people from using mech mods because they are "dangerous". Not everyone wants to use a mech mod the same way. Many people who use VW mods would probably be happier with a mech mod and a Kick because it allows them to do the same thing yet is smaller, cheaper, and easily fixable if something ever breaks.

I've got eGos, a Halo Triton, iTaste SVDs, and mech mods. After handing my wife a mech mod with a Kick and her beloved iClear30s she won't use anything else. It hits exactly like her SVD did, but a charge lasts a little longer and it's only 2/3rd the size.
