So for a trip I went to Florida where it's super humid and took a plane there. I am from Colorado, which is very dry. After a day, my mod gave me the warning "high battery" how do I fix this? Do you need more info?
If it's juice build up, how do I fix it?Basically it's telling you the batteries are supplying more than 8.4V. This could be caused by overcharged batteries. While not Fuchai specific there have been some reports of the Snow Wolf 200 giving the same error due to e-juice or moisture buildup inside the case. Since this happened in a high humidity environment that may be your problem as well. The choices would seem to be trying different batteries and/or putting the mod in a low humidity environment for a time. Putting it in a container and covering it with rice overnight might do the trick. Just a suggestion. No guarantees. It may be something that requires warranty work if you have one.
That's why I mentioned warranty. Getting e-juice out would require some degree of disassembly and a good electronics cleaner. That would void any warranty.If it's juice build up, how do I fix it?
I got it at a local shop. And what's skim links?That's why I mentioned warranty. Getting e-juice out would require some degree of disassembly and a good electronics cleaner. That would void any warranty.
Edit: I hate this Skimlinks crap. Seems to come and go.
The local shop might cover it. If batteries or drying out doesn't fix it I'd at least ask.I got it at a local shop. And what's skim links?
They were at 4.07 volts each when it happened and were/are Samsung 25R2. I changed the batteries with multiple other ones (LG, MXJO, Efest, and 25R5) and still had the same issue. I charge mine in a Nitecore D4 charger and when charge is complete they meter out at 4.18 Volts +/- 0.01 Volt.Did you hook up the batteries to a voltage meter to see if they are over-charged? Are you charging the batteries in the mod (if so it's possible they got overcharged)? I don't charge 18650's in my mod, I use a battery charger, better all the way around imo. Have you tried a different set of batteries to rule out it being a battery issue? Just suggestions of things I would do in this scenario.
Cheers,
Steve
Edit You made no mention of what batteries you sre using. Here's a link to an article on the best 18650's for vaping.

I was asking the OP, but it sounds like yours was definitely a mod problem. I've had my mods everywhere from Arizona (Extremely Hot and Dry) to Michigan (Hot and Sticky). I've have never had a problem where humidity caused my mods to give me a high voltage error (I don't have the Fuchai though), I mainly use DNA200 chipped mods. Sounds like the Fuchai is more sensitive to humid conditions than any mods I have ever owned. I wonder why?They were at 4.07 volts each when it happened and were/are Samsung 25R2.
