Passthru konking out?

[kklais]

Hi,
I purchased your VK-1000-MINIUSB passthru and have only had it a little over 2 months and it's konked out. Is this normal? Is there a way to replace the battery on it? If not is there anything I can do? Please help. Thank-you.

I have a manual passthru that is about 2-3 months old and it's exhibiting symptoms that it might be starting to fail. Boo hoooo, I love vaping my PT!

Your best bet is to open a support ticket on V4L.com, they will take care of you.

As I hardly use the passthrough anymore, and still have one of the original ones without the reinforced cord, I'm not 100% sure on this.... but it shouldn't have a battery in it that can be replaced. It holds no charge and can only be used while plugged in.

My V4L manual lasted many months. They actually do a nice job on the connection to the tube, the classic weak point. The only maintenance on it was that periodically I would soak the connector end in a cap of rubbing alcohol, to remove any juice gunk buildup, let it dry thoroughly, and clear the air holes with a tack. Hopefully your problem will be that simple.

i traded my PT (since i never used it) to a co-worker i converted to V4L i was about to need a new batt anyway so he bought me a new shiny black XL manual batt for the swap

try cleaning it ? and is it a vapor for life or a "vapor kings " .alot of people confuse "vapor kings " with the vapor king batt sold by v4l.

Also, that model number and "mini" does not seem to be in the V4L listings.

Sorry, didn't look far enough

Vapor4Life- Electronic Cigarette: Vapor King Mini Kit, USB Passthru and cartos

Product Code: VK-1000-MINIUSB

is this it?

Kklais (sir or Ms.?) there's no batt on a pt. There can be a few reasons why it's not working though. The cord could be damaged, or an internal connection could have been pulled loose. Could also be as was suggested earlier the carto connector could be dirty. What are you using to power your pt? If it doesn't have enough amps (at least 2000ma or 2a) then that would also explain your issue...

I want to thank everyone for their quick responses and suggestions. I put in a support ticket with Vapor4Life and they responded immediately. The problem with my passthru was it would get extremely hot and I would have to disconnect it and let it cool of and now won't work at all. Vapor4Life was extremely wonderful with their support and are sending me a new one. . I will continue to use products from Vapor4Life because of their great support. Thanks again for all of your help and suggestions.

and prob not use " wow carts" on it ? Morandir am i wrong or shouldnt we stick with "cool carts ' on the pt ?

 

[SnowDragon]

+1 Darri.....

Does it function at all or is it completely dead? Is it an Auto or Manual? I don't mean to respond on behalf of Morandir, but either Cartos should work just fine on a PT. The Wows will get a little hot and may need a little more of a rest period between draws if one is chain vaping.

It's been my experience that PTs that heat up are more than likely Autos and in most cases have gotten juice inside of them....it happens.

 

[kklais]

After it over-heated it functioned intermittently. Now it is completely dead. It is a manual passthru.

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

ok my bad ,thought i had read that previously .

 

[SnowDragon]

Well I'm glad to hear V4L CS is taking care of you, PTs are goofy lil creatures.

 

[kklais]

V4L CS were fast and responsive. I should receive a new one by next week. Yeh!! I loved that thing when it worked. I can't wait to get my new one.

 

[Morandir835]

No problem Snow sir, service on my phone has been wonky, glad to be on my way home.

Ms. Nancy I use wow cartos almost exclusively on the pt...
