Does anyone have any experience with the VV box mods from MadVapes?

Yeah, not a fan of the madvapes VV box. It uses a linear regulator, and though less expesive than a switching regulator, it isn't nearly as good. It is just a big variable resistor, and gets hot when chain vaped. It also drains your batteries faster . They are an ok starter box, but once you decide if you like VV, buy a mod that has a switching regulator.

Well I got the thing a few days ago to tide me over until my Grip and RSM get here. It does the job for sure but today randomly, I fires the button and... Nothing. Sent MadVapes an email but wondering what might have caused this and if there's an easy fix?

Keller is sick, btw. :D

Check your battery connections inside the box, make sure the battery is actually touching the connector. I bought one from mv at the vapestock in Florida, tried to fire it up, and the bottom of the connector was glued too low in the box, and didn't touch the battery. I traded it at the show for another, same issue.

Also try adjusting the voltage a little, sometimes you can hit a dead spot on the regulator adjusted knob.
