So yesterday I was using the Ipro and I put a different carto on it and suddenly it would not fire. The light stayed red when I pressed the button. I tried other cartos and the same thing happened. After a little while, both red and blue lights were showing when I depressed the button. That began to happen even without a carto on it. I turned it off and on again, no change. So I changed the batteries and problem solved. Is that normal behavior or should I be concerned?

The red and blue when you press the button is "battery low". After a while, you'll get so used to really nice warmth and vapor that you won't need to check for the two lights being on -- a sudden huge drop in vapor/warmth is battery change time.

I'm not sure what happens if you maybe have a low battery and then also try to switch to a carto that perhaps is even lower resistance (so trying to draw more current), or, equally, try to change to a higher voltage -- it wouldn't hurt the PV, just not sure what the lights would show.

General comment, at least in 901/808 land, I've found using a good adapter all the time just plain works better. There's a lot of carto variability, but a good adapter tends to work well with many cartos.

(There are also not-so-good adapters. I have one Ikenvape 901/801 gold adapter that I always use with fusions, it has worked 100% of the time. I picked up a spare from a different place when ordering other things, a generally solid vendor, turns out that that adapter is blecch. Same in 901/808 adapters -- I still use the one Buzz sent me when I bought my original Infinity, it just plain works.)

Sounds like LOW batteries to me !

I just had to pop the batteries out and put them in again (same ones) but the blue light wasn't coming on with a carto or without one. What was that about? I really hope there's nothing funny going on with the Ipro because I am really attached to it. Its working fine now. Its my first mod so I don't really have experience with these things. I don't know what's normal behavior or what isn't.

After I got it working again, it cut off a while later, where the blue light wouldn't come on with the carto on. It went on when the carto was off. I swapped the batteries and its working fine now. The batteries I was using were relatively fresh though. I have a meter coming in the mail so I couldn't check them yet. I wonder if it has something to do with the batteries getting cold? I was walking my dog when it happened and think it was in the mid30s.

I had a mysterious 3 hours where my IPro wouldn't work and tried every battery (4 sets) and carto (atleast 6) I had. It was putting a bit amount of power out but not enough to do anything. Just as mysteriously it started working again, and I haven't had problem since. It also started happening immediately after changing a carto.
