LAVATUBE v1 (or 1.5) just started MALFUNCTIONING! Please Help!

[levisdaddy]

Couple of weeks ago I received a Lavatube (not sure if its v1 or v1.5) from a generous forum member. And have been loving it! Today, almost randomly, the screen started to flash 10 times, and will not hit! The battery still has a 3.3v charge remaining. I am using a 2ohm VVV carto tank at 4.1volts. Does anyone know why this is happening and hopefully have a solution?

Couple more questions while I have your attention. When I 5 click the fire button it reads 2.1 or 2.2. Is this the ohm reading? I ask because I am under the impression that the v1 does not have an ohm reader.
2nd question: then I rapid click the fire button it reads F1, what does this mean?
Thank you in advance for your help, I could not find a tutorial or trouble shoot anywhere!

Try a fresh battery and a new carto.

thanks for the response!
i tried a couple diff things on it, two vivs and a different cart. same response. Ill charge the batt fully when i get home, but it appears to still have over half a charge. no luck...

3.3v is not over half a charge left, its close to dead
4.1- 4.2V is a fully charged battery, LT screen flashing means your batt is about to die, usually it tells you at 3.3-3.4v..

clicking fire button five time is showing your carto/vivi Ohms, therefore you do not have the v1 or v1.5 lavatube those did not show your ohm reading, so you have a current chrome lavatube/lambo v4 style..

F1 i got once and i believe it was a short circuit problem if i remember correctly..

You were right!! It was the battery!!!!
As for the ohm reader, i do not thing this is correct. EVERY atty device i put on it reads between 2.1 - 2.2 even SR and LR show the same reading. Although, with out something attached it shows F1
**scratching my head **

the ohms can be off by 1 at times on diferrent devices. on my LT i can get a 2.2 but on my provari with same rba atty it will read 2.3 sometimes..

SR atties/cartos can come in 2.2-2.4 ohms so could just be a coincidence your LT is reading the same for those as your LR's...

F1 is what mine shows too without anything on LT when i click button five times, pretty sure you do have the version with Ohm checker on it like i do. my previous 1.5 version did nothing when clicking button five times so since yours does, you must a have a current version too

thank you! didnt realize that. My confusion still remains when i put a 2.8ohm head on my vivi and the 5 click still read 2.1 or 2.2; same happens with a 1.8ohm head.
