smok m80 is possessed

[tony7432]

for some reason it started today, when i screw on any tank soon as the pin makes contact with the 510 it starts firing on its own without me pressing the button and doesnt stop until i unscrew the tank enough that the pin is not connected to the tank..anyone else's m80 do this or any other mod do this to them and what may cause this?

i just tryed pressing down on it with a screw driver and got a orange spark

You just shorted out the positive pin (center) with the ground (threaded area)

Appears there is a malfunction in the circuitry, somewhere. Dangerous do not use it, how old is it?

You need to remove the battery and find somewhere to take / send it for repairs.

Along as i leave it off i wont have any issues with it right?

I had m65 do that too me. Actually 2 of them

My M50 has issues too...
Don't think it's the most reliable device series of smok.

Take the batteries out. Do it now!

Why are you reading this post when you should be removing the batteries from your Smok M80?

You are no longer in control of when this device is firing.

Powering the device down should stop it firing, but if it's bypassing the chip, or the chips so messed up that it looks like it's powered down when it's not, it may continue to be unsafe.

Why leave batteries in this device? No batteries = no problem, guaranteed.

You understand the batteries are built in correct? I wouldn't risk opening a device with hardwired batteries and circuitry where the current seems to be continuously flowing.

Er- oops,

No I had no idea it was a built in battery. So used to 18650 devices it didn't occur to me.

My bad

In that case I'd removed the atty, try to power it down, then put it on my door step for a few hours to see if it goes into melt down, before considering my next option.

But in all honesty it sounds like it belongs in the trash (or professionally repaired

ack - that probaby was not a great idea if it was auto firing - if you wanted to press down the center pin, would suggest using something non conductive...

if it is still powering on, with no tank mounted, have you tried hitting the reset button (in between the + and - buttons)?

Sorry @tony7432

I was reading this and saying to myself "why the heck is this guy not removing batteries".

All makes sense now. Still you might want to put it somewhere safe.

Switch/cricuit is stuck ON
and the screwdriver was a BAD IDEA. Never go after a Hot circuit with a metal object.

Keep any/all tanks/RDa's off the unit. Place a piece of tape over the 510 until it can be properly cared for.

*No 510 contact = slow(minimal) or no battery drain so no risk of overheating the unit.

I do not have one of these, but i believe you can still remove the battery, correct me if I am wrong. You simply remove the bottom plate and pull the battery out, no?
