The Reuleaux by JayBo Designs

[MegaVap]

So my reuleaux just finish charging (battery lightning bolt went away) and it ended up as follows:
4.18
4.19
4.21

I thought that was odd so I check and moved batteries around and it starting charging again and ended up at:
4.19
4.19
4.20

Is this right? Are all the cells supposed to be at the exact same voltage when done charging? This is my 3rd charging and I could've sworn that all three cells ended up at exactly 4.20 before..

EDIT: does it continue to do the balancing thing even if the little lightning bolt in the battery meter has gone away??

Yes, that's right. Fresh batts will read 4.2v.

That I know, but are all 3 cells supposed to be at the exact same voltages when done charging?

If you have USB current as one of the fields on your charge screen and set the charge screen brightness > 0% you should see the current steadily reduce to zero until it finishes charging. When it balances it has to charge all the cells then drain a little from the high one through a tiny resistor on the board that only drains at less than 40 mA so it is slow if they are not already close.

This explains the general process, you don't need the lead this guy makes so skip to 6:08

Clean all the battery contacts/battery posts and see if that helps. 1/100 of a volt variation is not a problem.

Found this on youtube. Shows the ribbon during fire button pressed down.



Sorry if it was posted before.

Smog is incredible, nothing to worry about.

I'm starting to worry.

 

[Evofusion]

I'm starting to worry.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news. Long story short smog won't be shipping anything out due to some financial .... ups he did. Do a charge back and get your money asap. Sorry he was real and did group buys for a long time. Ultimately his demise was poor management and quick popularity from people coming from google who weren't accustomed to his ways. Unfortunate events.

hi d00ds. • /r/SmogGB

People are ...... (as they should). Unfortunate all around

 

[NeuReleases]

Yup really sucks. I feel partially ....ty myself for posting that link only for him to go belly up days later, never thought it would go down like this. Took me 10 mins on the phone to get my money back, but still a .... situation for all parties. Smog was a genuinely great vendor and extremely accommodating to any requests/problems. Dude ate $60 for me when usps lost my ipv4 and when it finally showed up months later out of the blue he told me to just keep it and not worry about the money. Hard to believe he would .... up this bad and screw his customers in the end. Although, the situation is much worse for him because pretty much all of us will easily get our money back while the banks are gonna bend him over for any cent that they can get back out of this since there is decent money involved.

In any case, I do apologize for posting that link. Was trying to do a solid but wound up taking time out of peoples days to have to fix this ..... Captain Hindsight just showed up and totally told me that I should not have done it, and we all know that he is always right.

Wow just reading that thread with Smog writing messages, that type of stuff he is writing is going to come back to haunt him big time. I don't just mean the "f certain customers" part but he was explaining exactly what he was doing wrong to end up in the situation he is in...wow may be a nice guy but doesn't sound like the smartest. Edit: I take back the nice guy part, he really is coming off like a huge jerk. I understand he saved many people a decent amount of money, but how can anyone defend what his behavior/what he is saying?

Anyway, speaking of not the smartest (me), when the screen ribbon is folded and you place the face plate back on, is having the cable folded the way it ends up a bad thing? I'm assuming a hard bend is better than continuously getting poked by the fire button but still, starting to think the plastic would be a good idea if I could figure it out.

 

[VapingBad]

Hard bends should be OK, Brandon said it is OK to fold the cable once but not to then unfold it in the same place. TBH I think the risk for these is lower then other mode where the screen is higher and the cable is less likely to get pinched by the button.

I just found it sad that people had broken their new mods that didn't have a fault yet so posted a less risky method. I have not damaged a screen by bending a cable with a couple of DNA200 and many 30s & 40s, but some people have.

Ah that's interesting - so if it unfolds somehow after the faceplate goes back on that would be bad for the ribbon. Should the faceplate technically hold down the screen so the ribbon doesn't come unfolded if it is the pressure from the screen holding it under?

That is a fold as distinct from a bend, it should be more forgiving just bending gently. I doubt a small movement would affect it unless it had been weakened before or it abrades the insulation, I think that where the cable leaves the screen it is more vulnerable as it is tight against the sharp corner of the glass.

 

[Swede]

I'm wondering if anyone's heard about eciggity delaying release date twice since the black Friday sale? Went from Dec? To Dec 18 to Dec 28th? Who else is waiting...

Would this have something to do with wismec not having DNA 200 boards?

Sorry - thanks for your responses and patience, but I have one more question. Wouldn't the ribbon need to have a bend to have the screen sit flat or is there space for the ribbon fold to go? My experience with ribbons like that from computers is that they require a decent amount of force to get them to bend. I'm guessing the answer is it will not require a bend but figured I would ask.

Edit: Does anyone have a dialogue going with someone from Wismec? I would want to know if they would be denying warranty claims on people who open their device to fold the ribbon?

The screen is in a 3 layers and the cable is attached to the middles layer so it clears shallow cut outs, the front layer is the thickest so it is almost at the back of the screen.

You guys are seriously making me think I'm going to have to get inside this thing on Xmas and attempt to give it surgery and hope I don't break it. I have no idea how long my local vape shop has had these things.

More than likely, you will. When I asked Wismec to define " later models", they said that the models currently produced and models there after should be without this flaw.

Considering everywhere I've looked online, they're all on pre-order and not in stock.. if these so called "later models" do exist they have either sold out already or not arrived.

At least I have that IPV3 Li to keep me company while I wait, and decide what I'm going to do should the ribbon present problems. I might contact my local shop and see what they have to say about it and possibly point them to this thread. Maybe they might have some success in dealing with Wismec.

Got my screen done, thought I had broken it as when I was putting the screen back down it put a bit of a fold in the ribbon, its working fine though.
