VV Mod Box Questions

[Mezzum]

I am new to box mods, I recently got the VV with Indicator. I am wondering if there is something wrong or just something I am missing.

1. The cut off seems to be 5 Secs, seems short.

2. After the cut off I have to flick the on/off switch before it will work again, this can't be right.

3. I have a Provari that won't allow low ohms with higher voltage, does this box have the same type of circuitry?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

The symptom of having to flip the box on and off is typical if either the battery protection or the regulator protection is getting tripped. There's no timeout period so something is getting set off. Some folks report that trustfire batteries do this less than ultrafire batteries. What battery, volt, ohm combo are you running?

It's not the bats tripping, it's the regulator. I assume your using a low resistance atty or cart- this happens a lot with dual coil carts because of the current draw. Try dropping your voltage, I bet it stops tripping.

I am using ultra fire batteries, 2.5 ohm Carto's (dual coil and single)

What is the recommended ohm for this box mod?

Thx

It trips with the single 2.5s?

What happens when you drop the voltage?

Ok, with your guys help, I think I figured it all out.

Dropping the voltage down helped a lot, what confused me is the single 2.5 ohm Carto would not go to 5v or higher. On my Provari I can used the duel coil 2.5 ohm at 6v no problems. It seems the "Bud Sapphires" lose their resistance very quickly. When I tested them, the ohm out at 1.9 from 2.5 in just a few days use. Not sure what's up with that, but the issue was the cartos.

Thanks for all your help. As always, ya'all rock!!!

Nice. It seems like a lot if voltage regulators can't handle more than 3 amps- you think the designers might have thought of this evercool mods are fantastic take a look into those.

If you are referring to Krimson Custom's evercool mods, they are all 3A units. Different type regulator but it's limit is 3A, same as Mad Vapes VV mods. James did say he could substitute a 6A regulator for $10 more, still contemplating that.

I've had two MadVapes VV Mods for several months and the only time I had a shutdown problem was with a tri coil 1.5 ohm carto, other than that they've been bullet proof.

FWIW I've been casually looking for a mod with greater than 3A ability and all but one I've looked at are 3A or less. The Lava Tube and Provari are 2.5A. The Saber Touch is also 3A but has an inexpensive 5A option that can be ordered with a new unit. Other than that they all seem to have a 3A limit.

I would like a Mod that would allow me to really "press" the limits of low Res cartos. Safety is always first, I would have no problem lowering the life of the Carto for maximum performance while protecting the Mod.

Thx guys...

I believe the evercool chip is made my TI, and it will not trip at 3amps, I believe it's threshold is 3-6v under load, including low resistance dual coils.

Shan B.s splashes go up to 10amps! And run 18650s!

With the ProVari it limits the volts when the ohm's are too low for the voltage..this must be a safety feature to prevent damaging the battery or coil..it may say 6v but it's not necessarily putting out 6v. I saw a vid on this and it is a problem with using dual coils with the ProVari as it limits the volts and doesn't produce the vapor that 6v will on other mods with dual coils. The voltage limiter is probably good for single coils but not for dual..for how much (way way too much IMO) the ProVari is it should have a setting for dual coils that doesn't limit volts so much...

Can someone with a MadVapes Variable Volt Box mod with Voltage Indicator please answer me a question....

Can you turn the potentiometer with your finger, with the back removed, or do you still need a screwdriver?

Thanks!

The pot is on the front, with the switches. When you slide the back panel off the pot cannot be moved from the back.

I hadn't thought about it prior to reading your question, just tried it and yes you can, it's much easier than using a screwdriver.

I don't know how many different evercool chips are available but you are probably right. I was only talking about "Krimson Custom's evercool mods" and according to James his mods have a 3amp limit, that being the reason I didn't buy one from him.

Mine is in the back there is a hole but too small for me to use not an issue to remove the back and move with fingers at all.

I would suggest you open a ticket on this. MV will know what is going on and correct it IMO
