Hey all sorry for all the help posts recently but I'm kind of confused whats going on with my brand new Gen S, I got it from ecigmafia sealed in box and put in a pair of molicel p26as it works for about a half hour/hour until it just turns off without warning and won't power back on unless I re insert the batteries. I know the batteries are brand new got em off imrbatteries in pairs. I don't have a external charger pack though could that be a reason? I read that if I charged it through usb on a dual mod it won't charge the batteries evenly and maybe its getting a volt drop? Thanks for any help friends god bless
Unfortunately, this isn't a terribly uncommon issue with mods of various brands.
Since you're using good batteries from a reputable vendor in a new mod, it may be the mod's short circuit or overheating protection kicking in. Try a different coil and be careful to insert it snugly. If that doesn't help, try a different tank. Clean the battery contacts and the 510 connections on the mod and tank; even though they're new, there could be residue from manufacture. Trying a different pair of batteries wouldn't hurt, just in case there's a fault in one of the one's you're using.
It may be a faulty fire button or the electronics of it, like the mod reading 5 clicks when you're only pressing once, but that's not likely if you have to re-insert the batteries to power on. 5 clicks alone won't do it? Either way, you may be looking at having to make a warranty replacement claim.
An external charger is always recommended but charging in the mod shouldn't cause a big problem short-term.
Welcome to the wonderful world of sucking on electronics instead of on smoldering dried leaves.
