Smok AL85 problem

[Swanta]

Hello,
This morning my smok al85 just stopped working and i cant figure out why so i'm hoping someone here can help me understand the problem.
The fire button just does nothing. There is power, the schreen works and it recharges normally.
When i press the fire button it even displays the voltage change andf how long it has been firing, but still nothing hapens.
The kit is about 9 months old and i ordered it online so i probably dont havea warranty.
Thank you in advance to anyone who knows more

Make sure you're in wattage mode.

Remove the tank, press fire, reattach the tank.

I got nothing else. The Al85 works great when it works. Problem is they don't work a lot.

I'd also add that you might want to check the wattage. If you've accidentally dropped it down to 5 Watts then that would explain no vapor.

Secondly, have you got another tank you can try on it? Sometimes it may be a dodgy coil causing your issues.

Thanks for your replies,
It"s in wattage mode with enough wattage, the coil worked fine before. i dont have another tank but i'll just replace the coil and see if that does anything. Also, there's a crack in the glass but it has been there for about a month and hasen't caused any problems before.

Well, it's an Alien, so it could be anything. It's generally not recommended to keep vaping cracked tanks. I kind of doubt it has anything to do with the issue, unless it has become so cracked that your tank isn't sealing right, and etc. It could equally be something mechanical inside the mod. Since it's out of warranty you have nothing to lose by taking look really (or alternately, someone mechanically or vaping minded, if you can find them-- maybe a good vape shop or whatnot, if there is one near you.)

If you plan on continue to use the tank though, replace the glass as you are buying a new mod (if you wind up needing one).

I guess this is also a good time to point out most successful vapers have at least one backup setup (even if very inexpensive) for times like these.

Best of luck and welcome to ECF.

Back up vapes for days. I have 2 mods 8n rotation all with backups. The RDA backed by an RTA and a tank backing a tank. Both my ideal kind of vapes. I even have an eGo Twist for some subtle vaping where the above are too cloudy.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Might try what has been suggested. A through cleaning may help.
Could contact:
local B&M Vape Shop (Visit) -----Might be simple.
Vendor who sold it ---see if they will repair or replace or advise (any authorized distributor).
Manufacturer contact ---see if they will repair or replace or advise.
Definitely worth a look at:

My guess: the switch mounted on the printed circuit board/PCA is gone and needs to be replaced. A vape shop may have this expertise.
