  1. I'd really appreciate this feature as well. Hell, I've even thought increments in 2.5 Watts would be nice.
  2. I'd love to see a picture of whatever you came up with for the test.
  3. Vapealone, I don't want you to vape alone, so I'll be your first responder... I had a mod that had nearly identical symptoms not long ago. I understand that you know it's a blown fuse, and I understand that you are mostly concerned about the USB's ability to still somehow provide power after such an incident, but I want to save you possible future woes with your mod, specifically your LiPo pack. When I sent my mod in for examination/repair I was told it was indeed a blown fuse. I was vaping closer to 1am, I was a bit tired, so as soon as it quick working I knew I better jot down my thoughts before heading off to bed for fear of not being able to remember any pertinent details the next morning. Here is what I jotted down: 1. Just took it off the charger from full around 5 minutes before it went dead.2. I had taken around 20 hits off of it before it went dead.3. Around 2 hits before it went dead, I looked at the battery charge - it read 98%.4. After it wouldn’t respond to any button combination, I plugged it into a 1 amp charger. It went through the boot screens. After booting, battery percentage immediately read 92%, 6% different from just a 30 seconds earlier - weird.5. Whilst plugged in I noticed my previously solid .12 build now reads .15 ohms.6. When I hold the FIRE button whilst plugged in it shows the live-wattage reading only below 10 and immediately reads "OHMS TOO HIGH.” I inspected my build, it looks solid. No touching the posts and the screws are tight.7. When I unplug from any sort of power, it turns off instantly and still does not respond to button clicks of any sort.8. My build is a single-coil .12 Ni200.9. My settings while vaping were temp-limited 500°F, 75W. Notice numbers 3 and 4. I am curious if you noticed anything like this in your own mod between when it quit and when you plugged it into a charging source. The important information I want to warn you about was after a two-day journey to my modder via USPS, the battery was checked with a multimeter and one of the cells was reading 0v. Now, this could have happened as a result of plugging into a charging source after the fuse had blown. Either way, were I you I'd limit any plugging into power after the fuse has blown. I can't answer either of your specific questions though no matter how much I'd love to help. From my perspective (consumer/enthusiast/lurker) it seems like John and Brandon and the whole Evolv team have enough problematic mods on-hand to be able to replicate common issues and collect useful data. This should lead to a fix, or at least to more-detailed information for modders and end-users.
  4. Check out this video regarding the VTBox200 by Vape Cige. It was just uploaded today and is what I know to be one of the first videos giving a first-look at this particular mod. Watch the whole thing, it just keeps getting worse the more he touches the thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d0k-bQtzi4 Wow! I'm floored.
  5. Is it the Nickel finish by chance? I sold one with the nickel finish to a guy here locally and have since seen him asking on Facebook on how to clean it up. The oils and dirt from his hands are leaving it a bit grimy a little faster than any "normal" finish (whatever that means, but you get the idea). I feel bad because he's not 100% happy with it. If you find one let me know so I can pass along the information. Just realized as I was typing, the "local guy" could be you looking for a solution...
  6. At least yours is consistent. Mine chooses whatever it likes when I plug it in, sometimes it's .5A and other times it'll go the full 1A. It's a macbook, so I figured the easy answer would be if it was plugged into power vs. battery power - this unfortunately was not the answer.
  7. I was asking because John said something that worried me a little in another thread. I didn't fully understand the original context too much, but this is what he said (sorry, I don't know how to quote across different threads): "Be extremely careful plugging it into your car - your alternator can be putting out as much as 14.5 volts. If it is set to 3s and you plug a 2s into it it will not fire. It will fire and charge with a 3s battery if it is set to 2s, because it can see there's an extra cell there. It will fire regardless of input voltage (and will never charge) if it is set to power supply. It will do so without regard for itself: it will happily blow fuses or try to fire from 4 volts or 15 volts or any other horrible things you might try to make it do. SO be careful what you feed it "
  8. Is it safe to charge my mod (Opus) via a USB car charger while running errands? What about the pass through feature as well, is that safe?
  9. I've been using parallels without a hitch since I got my mod.
  10. This is an absolutely amazing idea. I would love to see this!
