Vapor Shark DNA issue, need help asap

[TheDelawareCloud]

Need help with a problem I am having with a brand spanking new Vapor Shark DNA30. Every time I hit the fire button, the display screen will just keep blinking Evolv dna. It'll fire for about a second and then go back to blinking. And Im talking I havent even had this thing outta the box for 24 hours. Also I have let it charge for at least 8 hours. Got it out of the box and put it straight on the charge and it seems every other time I hit the fire button it also says check battery. Running a .5 ohm build on it which I believe is the lowest it will take (which is complete BS for a $170 VW mod) so it's within the limit. Battery life is constantly dropping on it as well, even when its just sitting there
not being used. I would take it back to the shop I bought it from but I'm 3 states away from them now so that's not happening. I email Vapor Shark but I'm sooo damn impatient I figured I would consult the vape gurus on here in the mean time. Anyone with any ideas please let me know. I'll repay you by drinking a beer in your honor



Cheers,

DelawareCloud

You say blinking do you mean restarting? cause this is a battery problem or a bad connection to the battery
Sucks that your having problems so soon Sounds like it will have to go back for warranty work

I don' think its a restarting deal. it's really weird. I've been googling and searching the interwebs all day trying to find a similar problem someone has had but nothing but a goose egg there. I mean it's a new mod to me so I'm still figuring out how to work it. Literally just tried it while it's hooked up to the charger and it seems to be running fine. I wanna crack the back off of it soooo damn bad to get into the guts and see if there's anything out of the norm in there but obviously that would void the warranty. fingers crossed that
its just a fluke but who knows. Can't pick a winner every time and as the luck of the Irish goes, I might have just gotten the dud out of the group. I should know better than to pick the one off the top of the pile lol

Ohh and by Blinking I mean like strobe light blinking. Fast as all hell.

That sounds defective to Me I know it's hard to be patient but If you open it and can't fix it then What? contact VS and send it back in

Sounds like you may have a bum battery. My DNA30 will exhibit that behavior when the battery can't provide the current I'm asking from it.

thanks for the advice ya'll. Taking it over to DelawareVapor now. They have pretty close ties to VS so they'll fix it for free if there's a major issue. If it's just the battery, free replacement there too so winning. lol

I'm having a problem with my new vs dna30 as well. It seems as if my devices battery indicator dips up and down repeatedly as I puff on it. It will go from full to dead in five hits. What's up with this? Did I get a defective unit? Or is this just how the dna 30 is

has anyone found the problem yet? I have one and have had not one problem.. I assume that the battery was charged well before use.

any feedback from vaporshark yet/?
