SMOK ProColor won't boot. Sigh.

[christylh8]

Hi everyone!

I have had my smok ProColor for only 4 months and today it won't even boot up.

I began noticing problems about a week ago because it was firing more and more slowly. But today it won't even turn on. I have replaced the batteries, made sure the connections were clean and everything.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've already but in a warranty claim with smok, but if there's anything I can do to rescue it I'd love to hear. Thanks!

Clean and check the 510 for spring iness?

Different tank?

It is a new tank but I've been using it on the ProColor for about 3 weeks.

Everything seems fine. Got spring in the 510. There's a new smell coming from the mod that is weird. Like a metallic / ozone smell.

At all reminiscent of bleach? If so one of your batteries is bad

Try a different set of batteries as suggested.

I would be careful though. Electronic/ozone smells from a mod would make me nervous. Especially a SMOK. I can say that because I own/use a Procolor daily as well. Mine is about 4 months old, only issue I've had with it so far is that it is damaging the bottom (negative ends) of my batteries.

Is it possible you had any juice leaks into the 510?

I would be worried about the smell. I'm also not sure about solutions to "make it work" given that it's emitting an odd odor now and the problems that you've had that are increasing... Usually if an electrical fault is progressive and gets to the "won't boot up" point, well, you don't want to FORCE it to, as that fact is actually telling you something important about safety.

Without mention of the smell, I might have said "Yeah, try something" but given the progressive nature of the issue and now the smell, I have to think that it's something internal with the mod, and I hope you can just warranty it, honestly. If I had a mod that did that, even if I got it working again, I would feel some unease about it. The mod's dead now, so just warranty it, would be my advice.

Good luck,

Anna

I haven't found any evidence of it.

No, doesn't smell like bleach. It's a hard smell to explain. My boyfriend calls it ozone. Like the smell in aerosol bottles.

Hmmm.. I’m suspecting the mod. May have let the magic blue smoke out of the motherboard. This is generally fatal to the device. Never let the magic blue smoke out.
