Yep...It's dead. It won't turn on at all. Atty on/off. I plugged it in for an hour now, no led indication that it's charging and it won't turn back on.

The 510 pin is sitting directly on the upper board. The spring design can be seen on eleafworlds site.
It does appear to have the 510 above.
But guys sorry for me saying it has a disc on the board.
The istick 50w and the vt 510 design looks the same from pics ive seen. Once I took the top board and padding off the 50w I could clearly see it was soldered and wired.
The wire is a very very stiff wire, almost feels like stainless cable or solid strand copper. It's the same stiffness as the black negative wire to the batteries.
50w 510 wiring.

it also has not jumped out of TC on me, which is good, but I think Phil is on to something with the temps being off. According to his chart, it is reasonable to assume that by the time you get to 600F, it is about 100F less. Which would explain why I am vaping at 550-580F with no problem.
Same here. With one Subtank Mini on the VT, I have the temp set at 540 degrees. With another Subtank Mini on the SX Mini, I have the temp set at 450 degrees.
The 510 doesn't seem like it's springing...might be stuck. I don't want to take it apart until I hear back from VapeRoyalty about a possible exchange.
I'm waiting on mine, which shipped a day after I ordered it (Sunday)... Melody Vapes, for $59.99 for device without the tank, if anyone is interested....
I wouldn't worry about the 30watt minimum, and I really wouldn't worry about it reaching your set temperature: that's what it's supposed to do!
If it's too hot for you just turn down the temperature. I just turned mine down to 300°F and it's firing at about 6 watts, and that's with it set at 60watts!! If I turn it down to 30watts it does the exact same thing.
So many things I do not understand...
In Phil B.'s video, he managed to have one of his VTs drop out of TP into power mode after heating up a Nickel build in a K4, unscrewing it and screwing it back down. At the moment if dropped out of TP into power, the resistance read 0.5 something. The Evic manual however states that this is supposed to happen if it detects a resistance of 1.0 or greater, a resistance I assumed they chose because it may be impossible to get the temp of a nickel coil high enough with this equipment to raise its resistance up to 1 without trashing it - Does anyone know if this is true? Bloke? So why did Phil's unit flip out of TP when the coil was still at so low a resistance?
I'm going to try leaving the Ego one Mega tank in the sun to heat it up and see what resistance I can get it up to.
Also when Phil's unit flipped into power mode, the power was at 60W, the same he had when it was in TP. Did he also have this setting in Power mode? I assume the latter.

As i understood, it didn't fell out of temp control during the video, but it supposedly happened to him once during testing? Then he was showing it can get nasty if it happens. Don't know about the 60W. I always keep mine at 8 or so watts, as i never use it in the power mode. Hope it stays this way if mine ever jumps out of TP.
What i didn't get was, if that happened during usage, or when he was putting the atty on. If later, i can see the mod reading higher ohms, when screwing the atty on..maybe?
I think both scenarios are possibly true. He makes it sound like it happened to him once out of the blue while he was vapeing and then he reproduced it on video by heating up the coil, unscrewing and screwing it back on while still warm and thus with a higher resistance. I too while vapeing in TP keep my wattage in Power mode down to 10 for this reason. Haven't had any problem though using the ego one mega Ti and I like it (250c, 35w).
Phil sometimes goes into the reviews 'cold' without reading all that's been said on forums, etc. - which imo, can be a good thing. He did mention the battery mAh 'situation' but other than that, it was pretty much a 'cold review' unbiased from other opinions. On the stealth mode, for example, he could turn it off and on but didn't know (or didn't point out) that you can get a short view of the settings even if in stealth.

It happens after his demonstration of how the resistance lock works, at exactly the 30 minute mark, so start a bit before that if you want to see. He has the unit in Temp Ti, 350f, 60w with resistance locked at 0.48. He fires, unscrews, screws back on and the resistance reads 0.59, all other screen information the same. The moment he fires, it drops out of Temp Ti into Power. Right at the 30 minute mark.
Does anyone else own a black version and a White version? I've noticed a couple differences and wanted to see if they were normal or an anomole. 1) the black one has a bright screen, while the white's screen is dimmer. 2) the toggle switch on top of the unit is much more defined on the white one. What do I mean? The lines are sharper, the dimple in the middle is sharper, etc. so, I'm wondering if the dim screen and the sharper toggle switch Is a batch issue or did they change it from the black version (as the black ones were apparently produced first)
What is the software version of both? (turn it off, then turn it on with 20 wick clicks to see, if you don't already know)
I sUp pose it could be a darker tinted screen too....may check that out as well.
As I posted earlier, it has happened to me on 3 occasions..... all during usage (not switching/removing attys). I don't know what Phil's scenarios was.
It's not an isolated case.
But it does seem rare. What tank are you using where it's done that? You are the only other person I've heard it from.
And only seems to happen on self built coils. pbusardo, dred on .................., and you are all using your own coils...ground issue I think that make it change
