Keep Popping Atty's

[LittleMissVapor]

I've had my Glv-2 5v for a little over a week. I keep popping atty's right and left. I had a 5 pack from madvapes and went through every one of them. Some lasting a day, some 2 days. I'm using the AW batteries 3.7v 750mah. Last night I kept smelling nail polish or something, and I looked inside the head cap and there is red nail polish inside. Just wondering what the problem could be?

Thanks!

which attys are you using? I use the Bauway 2.5ohm ones from Madvapes without an issue at all. Obviously if you take a 10sec hit, it's murder on them at 5v, but by that time, your throat would fall apart first.

To be honest there LMV I think the resistor is bad!!! I could be wrong but it sounds like that could be the only thing causing it. I have not fried a single atty since I have been using my GLV 5v As a matter of fact I have had 4 attys total in 2 months (alternating them) and still have the same 4 all still working fine. So with the good batts AW rcr123a 3,7v maybe the resister is letting to much through. just a thought. I am not a tech guy with electricity but thats what I think. What do you think Jay? He should answer up here soon. Or just call him.

You're not using LR atties, are you? They'll blow fast at 5v.

Nope, not using LR atty's. I got my new pack of the expensive Janty's yesterday afternoon. Worked fine for about an hour, then the vape started dropping off. I got another one out and went back to my Chuck for now until I figure out what is going on.

sounds like batt overvoltage from an unprotected batt

Nope, batteries are the AW protected.

you sure your AW are protected ?

yep, AW 3.7 protection built in. I'm going to mail it back to Jay, he's going to check it out for me. Said that he did get some bad resistors recently, so we'll see.

hope you get it worked out
