My purple BP: kaputt?

[mamamia]

Thank God I was SO busy with a collective order of a million flavours for a thousand people, so I had not even a minute to go to the loo .. let alone to do *anything* to my beloved purple buzz!!!

Thanks for the new advice!

 

[Bovinia]

Ma'am, I've made the mistake of giving the bath advice too and Mike corrected us. It works like a charm on the original Buzz, but the Buzz Pro is a bit pickier

Mamamia, if Mike doesn't respond to you here soon, try emailing him at sales@notcigs.com

 

[mamamia]

Well, Mike should be aware of my problem ... yesterday, shortly after I posted this thread, he even asked me questions to get a better idea of what the problem could be.

But ever since then, he hasn't been back in here.

So - do you think I should mail him nonetheless? ~ I could call him on the phone as well .. if he had a landline, I wouldn't even pay a single dime for it, as I have an int'l flatrate (for just very little money per month!).

I am back , friend in town for a few days.

Mama , lets go over this one more time please
check list
1. does the rec led come on ?
2. does the blue led come on ( no atty on it ) ?
3. does the switch click ?
4. do you have a voltmeter ?
5. if #4 is yes , test the battery voltages
6. #4 yes , test the output voltage ( red lead to center screw , black lead to bottom cap or top cap threads

5. if #4 is yes , test the battery voltages (will do so - but the same batteries work on my blue buzz just fine!)
6. #4 yes , test the output voltage ( red lead to center screw , black lead to bottom cap or top cap threads --- Okay, will do that and come back with results

5. if #4 is yes , test the battery voltages (will do so - but the same batteries work on my blue buzz just fine!)

Just to make sure: I measured the Volt output of the batteries as well: 4.11 and 4.06 respectively - on top of that took changed the batteries as well, makes no difference. That was the first thing I tried anyway, but just did it again so in order to not overlook anything.

6. #4 yes , test the output voltage ( red lead to center screw , black lead to bottom cap or top cap threads --- Okay, will do that and come back with results

Did just that, and here are the results: 1.9 with the adjusting wheel somewhere in the middle ... 2.1 with the adjusting wheel on the red mark.

So it looks like the flow doesn't work, not? ... What can I do about it? Or what can *someone* do about it... I still think it might be just "a little thing" which would make it more feasible to look for s.b. here and tell them exactly what to do, hm? I mean, the shipping to and fro alone takes quite a while btw. Calif. and here....

OK something went SOUTH / bad in it Mama ! we will have to repair it sorry !

 

[Bovinia]

Oh no, I'm sorry it's not going to be a simple fix that you can do yourself Mamamia

 

[mamamia]

*argh* I'm gonna send you a mail, Mike!

I'm really sorry you have to go through that Mama but electronics do go bad sometimes. My wireless router just went kaput too and it was a pretty new router so I had to get a new one.

My daughter just bought a 200 dollar phone(thats after contract reduction) and half the screen quit working before we got home from the store....... Got it replaced though....8 days later...

 

[mamamia]

Thanks for your empathy, guys & gals! I really appreciate that!

 

[BuzzKill]

We will fix her all up 100% gonna take some time but thats international sales and buying !

 

[mamamia]

As I pointed out in my earlier mail, Mike, the BP will go out from here on Monday, and I will send you a tracking number when I come back from the post office.

 

[mamamia]

Just pushing this thread up again, so we can remember what my problem was and why I sent my baby back to its daddy.....

No blue light when clicking button -- but button clicked -- however didn't produce any vapor. That was the bottom line.




OMfG!!! That's like the dentist's syndrome: once you sit in his chair you can't remember that you had had a toothache at all....

 

[BuzzKill]

OK I got it today and !!!


It worked 100% ??? no failures , works like a charm ???? I think you may have a bad battery ????

Email so we can go over it , I will not send it back until I am 100% sure it is ok ,. Hell I will vape it for a week if needed.

 

[mamamia]

Just mailed you and in that mail quoted the two relevant posts of this thread -- so you know what kind of testing I did and the results thereof.
*shrug*don't know what else to do*

???

 

[BuzzKill]

We will go over it and I will test it here for as long as it takes . See other thread

 

[mamamia]

Phewwwwww, finally found out what might have been wrong with it, as yesterday all of a sudden I had the same failure with the new blue Buzz!

....and I even can reproduce it!!

All I need to do is to screw the atty on TOO TIGHT! I was quite desperate yesterday and felt so embarrassed to possibly have to tell you that another one shows the same symptom .... and somehow I got the idea to *not* screw the atty on tighter but to make it a bit more loose instead! And THIS works fine.

OMfG!!! If that was ALL which was wrong ... then I should immediately sink into the ground! 8-o
