Wow. Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping lol.

I just picked up a SVD today and had the same exact thing happen to me...I was sure a Google search on "SVD shocking face" would come up blank but here I am. I put another tank on and the problem went away.Both tanks were working fine on the mvp. I rebuilt both tanks but the shock tank did have a silver leg coming out of the center post that was a little longer than it should have been. Snipped it and problem went away. The flashing lights through my eyes was very strange sensation.

There have been other reports as well.

Kanger and the vendors that sold these bad coil heads NEED to be notified.

I have nothing to add here... Just thought the post title was awesome and had to read on! Best of luck to you!

Vaping in progress

Just put my protank on .....waiting.....nothing yet

 

[HDVaper]

Are you sure you're not STILL drunk?

I wonder if it's the knock-off coil heads and not the authentic Kangers that are doing this?

 

[Nepenthy]

I'm not trying to ding kanger here, my issue came from my own rebuild. I left the center leg hang out the bottom a little.

I am also getting shocked by my SVD. Not in the face, but on my pinky finger when I rest it on the outer tube. I've vaped it with a ProTank and now the DBox tank and have gotten shocked with both. It seems to be random; no pattern whatsoever. It is, to say the least, unnerving. :/

Just throwing it out there. The other day I built a head that was acting funny and It was spitting hot juice up the tube. it was hitting the tip of my tongue giving a similar sensation to a shock. Could a bad oem head do the same?

You should be able to take an Ohmmeter to each of the battery terminals and the tip and see if you are getting a reading. Any reading other than 0 means some current will pass through.
Also, many liquids do conduct electricity to varying degrees depending what is in them. http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/electrical-conductivity.html

You could try to see if you liquid has resistance but I doubt it.

 

[Abbell]

hrmmm... you could also easily place a piece of tubing over the drip tip. That will help if you are drunk and decide to gnaw on the end as well.

Seems to go away and return , doesn't hurt just annoying.

 

[Hoofhearted62]

sounds strange never been shocked before

I've been rebuilding my Mini Protank heads lately and am noticing the occasional "electric shock".

It feels like a slight tingling pulsating on your lips...

Your SVD should have recognized the short circuit and refused to fire.

From VaporBeast:

* Variable Voltage: voltage can be adjusted from 3.3 – 6.0 volts in .1 volt increments.
* Variable Wattage: Wattage can be adjusted from 3.0 – 15.0 W in .5 watts increments.
* Short Circuit Protection.
* Reverse Battery Protection Circuit
* Battery Voltage Detection
* Resistive Load Detection (Ohms meter )
* ON/OFF Fuction
* LED Battery Power Display
* Low Voltage Warning
* Overtime Vaping Warning
* Battery Safety Protection
* Compatible with most any type of tank system: (threads fit iClear10 ,iClear16, iClear30, CE4, CE5 ,eGo, T2,T3 , VIVI NOVA and 510 etc.)
* Built-in 3 digit display (Ohms meter , Volts /Watts , Atomizer voltage output )
* Stainless

You have either somehow damaged the SVD to the point where an important safety feature is no longer working, or you have a defective unit. Either way, I wouldn't use that mod again.

I've noticed the same thing using Protank v1's & v2's on my Ego-T style batteries & my new Vamo v3. Mostly for me its a light shock on the tip my tongue. Not all that often though once a week maybe? I rebuild my Atty heads so i make sure no Kanthal is touching the edges!

Might start using plastic Drip Tips only? lol

My SVD shocks my hand somewhat (only the outer ring), and I have heard of others having the same problem. I guess if you have a metal drip tip, that could conduct the electricity and shock your face. Needless to say, I hold it by the middle now. You should try holding it by the middle to see if you get the same shock. I want to find out the cause of the outer ring shock and fix it. BTW, any sentence with the phrase "shock your face" is outstanding. In a way, I wish you wouldn't solve the problem so we could all get to write "shock your face" more often. If my SVD shocked my face, I would want to figure it out. --There, I said it again. Also, if you shock your face wouldn't that drain the battery faster? --And again. On another topic, I have heard the SVD described as looking like a d*ldo. Is it now a legitimate sex toy? Should Innokin put an additional warning in the instructions, "For ecig usage only?" Anyways, I'll let you know the results of my experiments. No! no! I mean my experiments trying to fix the face shocking problem. "Face shocking" counts, so that is 4 legitimate usages in the same paragraph. Now I am going to shock my face to get the phrase out of my head. It won't go away, especially after the sex toy thing. I have now decided that the SVD is the greatest mod ever, not because it works, but because it doesn't work. If you'll notice, it took me over 30 minutes to write this finely crafted paragraph.
