LOL you are psychic, I just tried with 4 chargers, an iphone charger, an ipad charger, logitech charger, and an anker charger, along with the oem usb cable, a 3rd party cable, an amazon cable, and a monoprice cable, and all have similar results (although some combo's result in lower/higher results)

Ok, I tried several different outlets (on different breakers), and I tested it in my car, and it still happens. Also, using the "highest reading combo" (which just happens to be the oem cable and the anker charger) I also get a shock on the hana modz. So it is NOT just a vaporshark issue. If someone has a multimeter with an rdna and kfl, could they test it?
And in more than one wall plug I am assuming. Darn was hoping it would be an easy fix. It shouldn't be shorting like that. Only other thing is open it up and check to make sure your battery section is dry of ejuice. That is a major bummer. Guess you could email or call Vaporshark about it. Grimacing as I type that. Super sorry to hear about your headaches.
Just tried my svoemesto kayfun lite plus v2 with my RDNA plugged in. No shock. Maybe some others will have some ideas.
I think you said this was on different toppers that you tried.

lol too slow newport. My place is not particularly static-y (heck I dont even have carpet, its concrete). I have to say, it does make me feel better knowing that this is NOT just a vaporshark issue, as my hana also gives a reading. I did read another post recently about how someone said their battery life is better now that they take the atty's off their box mod when not in use. Maybe this is why? Also checked the readings on the mech mods both standing and firing and the readings are 0. Also I do have 3 multimeters, a cheapo chinese one, a cheap amazon one, and a nicer fluke model.
just tested it again with my nautilus mini and I do get a shock and a reading of .45 ac mA and .04 dc mA. My full size nautili are disassembled and drying just to make sure.
I think this may have to do with the fact that these are NOT true pass through? maybe? no idea. Its super easy to test with a multimeter. Just plug in your rdna/hana to charge, and put the multimeter tip on the atty (not the glass/plastic part of course)
Still seems odd to me. I never thought it was a static issue. Never had that experience on my vaporshark. I leave my attys on mine with no loss of charge. Only time I had your experience there was a little water on the floor in my Boston Whaler and the outboard engine wasn't grounded properly. I got zapped up the steering cable into my stainless steering wheel great fun. If you haven't yet do make sure the battery tray is dry of ejuice. I vape mine plugged in with no issues. I will definitely be following your situation with interest. Hope you resolve it.

That's pretty lame, man. I hope you figure it out/get it fixed.

Sigh. Hopefully some other resident gurus will have some ideas. It would be nice to avoid sending it in.
no more testing devices for shock tonight, as my bottom lip is getting sore. Will update tomorrow afternoon when my bud brings his authentic kfl+ over to check. Will have him bring a multimeter as well (although I doubt all 3 of mine are defective)
Its definitely NOT just a vaporshark issue as my authentic hana modz v3 does this as well (although not as strong a shock). I'm upset that my multimeter reads anything to be honest. There should be NOTHING there.
I suspect it might be an evolv issue, since thats the only thing common with both of my vw devices, i will post on the apv board to see if others can duplicate it
Neither is mine. It will trap ejuice if I am not careful, but still is very clean.
I had this problem as well and was posted on this thread. I solved mine by changing charger.
Make sure you are using a 5v1amp wall plug If you are using a 5v2.1a Wall plug it will cause this.
