Vaporesso Armour S (Malfunctioning)

[CrazyVapor]

Does anyone else have a problem or so from vaporesso Armour S, if so, please explain, and I might have the same problem as yours, because my mod has few issues, it was just making my battery show (100%) but it isn't, because it shows 0% on my mod when I turn it on, but I had to look up the info about it, and it showed, I have to factory reset it manually or on the settings itself, but the manual part is not easy because you have to do the hard way is the Fire Button and other 2 is " - " " + " all together and hold down for few seconds, but that doesn't work for me, so I had to do the settings itself, but it does work, but this isn't the first time, but when I received the Mod in the mail since January 2025, it works fine, but then after a week of receiving the mod, and it was already malfunctioning, and the mod stops working then I have to put the battery back in, but then it didn't help, so what I did was I had to mess with the battery door, and now it started to work, and I factory reset it in the settings by pressing the fire button 3 times, and I scrolled down by using " - " where the default button is, well it factory defaults all your settings, but good thing I had to look everything up to see how to do it right.

Hi and welcome,

If a device is non functional in the first week, return product to vendor for refund or credit.

Tell us about the brand and model of the 18650/2x700 li-on batteries you use. (mAh is not enough information. )
Which external charger are you using?

Cheers
I

The battery is unbranded. What I got from the Smoke Shop. Do I have to get a different battery? I think the battery is 3000mAh. When I use the XTAR SC2 USB Portable 3A Speedy Battery Charger. I don't use 18650 batteries; I use 21700 batteries. The battery shows NR 40.

to mess with the battery door

The quality of Vaporesso has dropped significantly. I had a similar issue with its sister, the Armour Max, a few weeks ago. It was resolved by wetting the gold-plated pins with a syringe and a few drops of isopropyl alcohol, both the ones on the door and the internal ones (that's why a syringe is needed).
Still, see if they can replace it with other models. I had to do this since I’ve had it since November 2023. It’s not normal for it to be like that just one month after taking it out of the box. If you need a heavy-duty box, try the GeekVape ones, as they are also waterproof (the Armour is only dust and shock-resistant). If you're used to carrying around the brick-like Armour, you can also go for the Legend series. For being dual, it's not much bigger than the S.

I also want to report that the paint on my Armour S, after one summer, completely dried out, with the green paint peeling off little by little, while on the Max (yellow), it’s still intact.
