Water came out of battery: AWT+IPV D2

[vapero]

I have to agree here.
Definite signs of Arching on Battery and device Negative. May be a weak Soldered wire off the Contact or at the Board input side.
Either way, it either needs to be Soldered properly or returned for the factory to correct/scrap.
Best to Stop and decide which way you wish to approach the correction.
New, I would return with pics of the Damage being caused by and to the mod.

As stated earlier - Likely a one off occurrence but they do happen. Replacement would be Prudent.



Edit: Adding this for reference:

WOW that is a messy job! I never would've guessed that's how they where made, almost all garage modders do better work

[HASHTAG]#crxess[/HASHTAG] I referred to my previous post 3 post prior in that post anyway here it is...

I've had the IPV D2 for just over a week now & at first it was awesome. Been using in temp mode 95% off the time. Spaced NI200 coils from .86 to .12ohms. Always have the resistance locked. About 3 days ago and build that had been working flawlessly started getting obscurely hot to the point of a burnt juice taste not a dry hit a burnt juice taste. Changed out build & since have changed other builds & several attys. It is now performing at a fraction of what it was in temp mode (not in VW mode). Been using VTC 4's & 5's. I know my builds & wicks & attys are good(even if 1 wasn't they couldn't all be). Is it possible there was some kind of short while in temp mode. Even at 40-50j it just isn't putting out much vapor(the heat is there just not much vapor)& at first it really was. I know some will say it's my build but 4 attys & 7 builds would disagree.

Edit: also wanted to add that I have changed out the battery at least 25 times & it is a lot easier now than it was when I first got it. The battery is definitely making good contact I just wanted to add this info just in case someone thinks it might have something to do with the issue.

thomthom,
Spring misalignment
Tab connection not properly attached
Poor solder or damaged Ground wire at 510 or board

For your Mod, new, I suggest contacting your vendor for replacement.
If needed post them the pictures of Battery Negative burn marks and D2 negative Tab burn marks.
I see no reason they should not replace the unit.

I't does seem the Chip is working properly but there is a ground connection issue.

I hear you, instead of giving IPV another chance to waste my time, I decide to give Koopor (Smok) a try. Thank you for the insight.

An inline volt meter would help in you research.
Heat but no Vapor sounds like a resistance problem around the 510 connection/tank base rather than the coil.
Possibly the center pin wire or Grounding issue.

Best of Luck!

You are the man crxess good lookin out

What setting should I put my volt meter on & what reading do I want & not want?

In-line Volt meter is designed for 510 devices. Something like this:

Kind Sir, thank you so much for the diagnosis, May I ask in this case should I continue to use those batteries?

Sorry, I didn't notice this sooner. But from the description of what was happening and the kind of heat needed to make the battery leak, I'd toss the batteries myself. A fully charged 18650 in pristine condition can vent pretty forcefully in a worst case scenario, I'd be worried about what a damaged one might do.

I don't know anything about batteries. Is this battery leaking? And if so, obviously I should discontinue use?

Check the top of the battery, the leak would come from there. Do you see any goop/fluid near or under the top cap of the battery? Do you smell a solvent-type odor? If not, your battery should be OK. It's probably e-liquid.

Top of battery looks normal. Ahh..e-liquid..so that's what it is..dangit..I threw out one before because I thought it was leaking...what a waste.
