Variable Voltage Box Mod Question

[LMP]

I have been using a Variable Voltage Box mod and have a question.


Some times when I push the button it will not fire, but if I turn it off and on it works.


I think that it may be due to the batteries sensing the voltage or resistance and cutting off the power for some reason.


Another possibility is a voltage cutoff system in the Box mod itself.


Any ideas as to what is going on?

Same thing happened to me! It also would get extremely hot and melt the glue. I got sick of it and just use my provari.

I burned one up in my pocket because I forgot to turn it off, otherwise I have had pretty good luck with them.

I had a similar issue when using a set of Ultrafire gray batteries. Trustfire flames and AW IMR's work with no problem.

It worked!

Thanks cskent.

so it was the batteries?

The protection circuit on the batteries are cutting it off. Ultrafires seem to do it alot more than Trustfires. AW is the best bet when it comes to batteries.

Yes it was the batteries.

good to know, thanks for following up and letting us all know.

I've had the best luck with AW IMR's and am switching everything over to them when my old batteries need replacing. They are a safer chemistry and don't need protection circuitry so there's less to go wrong. They have a lower mah rating though so they need recharging a little more frequently. But they also have a higher discharge rate so they produce vapor more quickly allowing you to use shorter hits. That's been my experience anyway.

Where is a good place to buy AW IMR batteries?

Do they need a special charger?

I thought it would be a good place to post this- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...9007-warning-rechargeable-batteries-mods.html what every mod user needs to know about batteries and safety. Spread the word and help educate. Thanks! bnrk

Super T manufacturing !! Cheapest of these batts round! You can use the trust fire charger just make sure once the light is green you take it off! No special charger required but will be better to have
