I've killed two VMod XLs somehow and the CS at vapage has replaced both of them for free but they couldn't tell me what I did to cause the issue. What happens is the atomizer won't fire and the battery springs get extremely hot. So hot that the plastic the springs sit on melt.
It happened when I was trying out a bunch of different juices. Basically I was dripping a few drops of the juice into the atomizer, vaping it a bit, then removing the atomizer and blowing out any excess juice and then repeated the entire process.
I don't think any juice spilled and I don't think I over-tightened the atomizer either. Has anyone ever had this issue?
If the springs are getting hot there is a short somewhere in your connections, you did mention that you modded your vmod to fit the kick under the bottle. Check your connections, how did you wire the kick to the mod???
