So I wanted to get this written down because I just experienced something that most VV users will understand, but most who haven't used VV before may want to watch for.
I'm new to VV vaping. I was never interested in it before now...in fact...I was really not that excited about this device because I was really happy with my 3.7v vaping set ups. But now that I have it, it never leaves my side and I use it constantly.
So the other day...I was happily vaping away with a 2.5Ω i06 atty...(I had been using it for a few weeks. It was not bad, no 357, mind you...but not bad at all.)...when all of a sudden my mod stopped working. So I pressed the button again....and nothing. Then I pressed the button again and got vapor. Vaped for a little while then it stopped again. I'm thinking ...WTH? So I throw my batteries on the charger, put fresh ones in and start again.
Same thing. Dang it! Time to trouble shoot.
As suggested by MX, I pull out the multi-meter and test my batteries. They're good. So I pull off the atty and test that. It read 1.6Ω minus the .3Ω of my leads and I get 1.3Ω. And there we have it. My atty was going bad...and while doing so, it was drawing too many amps from the chip and so the chip cut off the power.
What's funny is that the very first thing I thought when it was intermittently not working..."shoot, I'm going to have to send this back to Rob." Not so, my friends. For those of you who are new to VV vaping, don't let the electronics scare you out of getting this...but seriously, it's a good idea to invest in a multi-meter and learn how to use it. It's a lot easier than you think....and this coming from someone who doesn't give a rat's patootie about electronics or learning anything more about them than I already do.

Lisa, I had the same thing happen to me using a carto. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. What clued me in was that it wouldn't work on the BP either. Then I used my trusty mm to measure it.
Some of the vendors are now selling a little doohickey box with a LCD display. You just screw in your atty or carto and it reads and displays the resistance in ohms.

gona have to get me one of those thanks Tripp for the heads up
I had in mind a gizmo like that ohm meter that also incorporated a battery bay like the ones on the TR-001 charger. It would have 801, 901/808, and eGo style connectors for checking atty/carto resistance and would also measure and display the current state of charge in any battery put in the bay. Alas, I don't have the know-how to design it nor the resources to bring it to market, so I'm waiting for someone else to do it.

They seemed to out of stock but I saw one @ Atomizer/Cartomizer Ohm Meter
Those days are still here! I know I am still looking forward to their release! Waiting longer makes them that much more special!
I know Rob is still recovering, but has there been any new info on a release date? Do we know if the VV chips have arrived? Not trying to push here, just need to get finances in order is all...
