I purchases an ivp mini 30w box mod when they first came out. it worked perfectly for 8 months then would not power on.

so, I purchased a sigelei mini 30w box mod 2 months ago and the same thing is happening. it will not power on.

I don't abuse my mods, use the proper batteries, haven't dropped, ect.

can someone please help. is there something I am doing to kill these mods or is it the nature of the beast?

I don't feel it was excessive since I never found any type of moisture on the 510 connection of the mini.

I contacted the vendor that I purchased the sigelei from and they referred to the manufacture's warranty as it is still covered.

I just feel that since this happened to two box mod's it must be something I am doing. as I do not wish to buy a new one every couple of months.

That's strange to happen twice in a row.

I have the Sigelei 30 mini and it's been pretty cooperative. The 510 threading is a bit fragile and needs cleaning often to keep it smooth, but that's all I've encountered.

Are you charging the batteries or using the built in charge port? If you use the charge port at what battery level are you charging? Do you leave the device on?

i have never used the usb for charging, Batteries are same age as device. I charge when they have about 1/3 charge left.

For the IPV mini have you tried removing the battery and putting a new one in ?

Sometimes mine will go to sleep when it does I clean all the contacts and replace the battery and then its good for awhile after before it does it again
Yes, I did try removing the battery and putting in a new one. let it sit a couple of days then tried again. still will not power on.

I really enjoying vaping on the sigelei mini, so I ordered another one. vaperrange is selling them for $29.99 with free shipping. They are the same vendor I purchased my current one from. I just don't want to do this every two months.

although covered by a 90 day warranty from asmodus, their web site states they are no longer offering the warranty on the sigelei 30w.

vaporrange did contact asmodus and had them ok the return. I will send it back today and hopefully they will let me know what went wrong.

I am thinking that I may get a new tank. one with a sealed 510 connection. as I have been using the same tank for both devices. It never leaked, but once in a while when I dab with a tissue there will be a spot or two of liquid about the size of the 510 connection on the bottom of the tank.

When I found a set up I like, that is all I use, so it never gets any rest. And I am a heavy vapor.

I appreciate all the help with my problem. And very glad to hear that others with this device haven't had them die in two months.
