My IPV mini 30watt BROKE!

[jasonholmes89]

Gosh darn it. I had this mod for less than a month. The battery charging port "snapped" off and became disconnected so i cant charge my battery anymore w/o an external charger.

I feel like by design this is bound to happen. the charging port is on the bottom and i feel like its set up for this issue to happen.

Has anyone else had this issue? I contacted Myvaporstore to see if they can help me out.

I am really annoyed that this happened, but it makes sense with all the box mods they are pumping out without caring about quality

So im assuming they wont back me up and ill be up the creek w/o a paddle.

Suggestions for a DURABLE Affordable mod 30-50watts?

I hope i can get this fixed before i smoke an analog....I can only smoke my protank mini so much before it fails me

The IPV Mini comes with a 30 day warranty, so if you've indeed had it for less than a month then you should be good to go. You may have to pay a small deductible, however.

As for durable, affordable 30-50W mods, I recently purchased an iStick 50W, which I've been liking. I've only had it for a couple of weeks so I can't speak to it's long term durability, but it does feel very solid in the hand.

I guess im mostly wondering if has happened to anyone else? I baby'd the device from the beginning because i saw the possibility of this issue.

I see that even on their 70 and 150 watt mod the charging port is in the same place.

Am i an anomaly?

Myvapestore has a 14day return policy, from the shipped date which is BS. Also they will consider your problem user damage. They are pretty strict on returns, had to just return a IPV Mini2 to them.

Do you still have the reciept that came with your package because on the off chance they do something they require a picture of the reciept sent with the quailty sisignature on it.

Takes some heft, awkward attaching or a Crappy cable to damage a USB socket. Just my and years of PC/electronics repairs.

a Cheap 18650 charger can be had for under $6. Survived my first year vaping with one.

For service - Unit needs to be shipped to Asmodus - check your included warranty.

Yeah, its not useless, you just need an external charger. I have a USB port that has stopped working on another mod, but oh well. If you are under the 30 day warranty, you can send it to asMODus, but then you have no mod?

If it was my only mod I would just get a charger.

Less than a month you should be good to not getting screwed.

The port on the bottom of the 150 is for firmware updates not a charging port.
