MVP Firing Delay

[KerryK]

Just got my MVP from FTech, first thing it has a slight firing delay. Tried different tanks and it's the same, even the iCLear 16s that came with it.

It also shut down a couple times at random. I thought it did that after so may puffs counted but I checked that, not it. Center pin looks fine, it's not smashed down or anything.

It's great, but just has a random but consistent delay like 3 out of every 5 puffs.

I have never had a problem like that with mine. Really odd. Of course, my first suggestion would be to try different tanks, but you were already on top of that one.


You said you just got it, right? Perhaps defective?
I would try filing a ticket with fasttech, but since I've never ordered from them, I have no idea how that process works.

I think I fixed it, I took a dental tool and pulled the center pin up just a wee bit, seems to have done it. 20 puffs on no issue, I must have tightened something down too hard.

Ok, yea, it's rockin now...phew!

Glad you were able to DIY and not have to wait on a replacement. Good job and vape on

Had mine since Jan, and have had the random shut down a few times. I chalk it up to the safety time out, as I do tend to take long drags!

Also make certain that your device isn't tightened too tightly into the connection. If it's too tight, it kick in the safety features.

I also had similiar problems, especially after cleaning a iclear30. It wouldn't even fire. Finally I readjusted it, loosened it up, and it began to connect properly.

I love my iclears, but since they're duel coil, you use higher voltage and it drains the battery faster than single coils. Then the safeties kick in too, and it can be frustrating. But it's one of those things to get use to.

Thanks for the heads up, that's great to know.
