Hi Guys My VT200 initially went into 'Service Warranty' mode. Doesn't appear to be any power as the battery symbol on mod showed empty. Although Escribe showed cell voltages of around 3.9v +/- the Pack voltage was 0v. with no charging input from the USB. I've tried all the usual Escribe fixes without success . It's come to life a couple of times during the process and has also showed the 'Shorted' error when an atty (have tried various) has been attached; It seems to communicate with Escibe Ok ( today, wouldn't connect yesterday) but now it's finally gone completely dead on me. Raised a query with Evolv who implied that it may be the battery. I've removed the battery and tested it with a multimeter and just testing the red and black wires on both connectors, the voltage reads at 12.1v. Would that imply that the battery is OK even though it's above the nominal voltage of 11.1v. Just checking before I send it back that it's not just battery failure.

Just been notified by Evolve that my ticket is now "Closed/Resolved". Presumably it's been repaired and soon on its' way home.

I have also noticed that plugging in the USB charger has no effect at all, other than Escribe does detect the power characteristics of the charger. I can still adjust the wattage, access presets and afjust temperature; just got no firing power I guess what I'm really after - Is this a simple wiring fault which i may be able to repair or has a chip failed somewhere that controls the usb charging and power from batteries. Evolv or Wismec components.

I don't have a proper continuity feature on my multimeter; but using resistance setting of 200 ohms (lowest) I not getting any readings on the meter. No it wont vape and just get the Check Battery error. Strangely the thing does boot up and display when I put the batteries in; that section of the device would appear to be working.It also still detects ther's no atomizer fitted

Hi , Thank you for your response. I have charged the batteries to 100% via an external charger and still getting 0.00V for Pack and cell readings in Escribe. Checked to earth screw, Soft Reset, Hard Reset and Restore to Default have been tried without success. three new LG HG2 on the way, but I don't think they're gonna solve the issue. I haven't checked the continuity on the Wismec; didn't think of that to be honest. Although I have a MultiMeter; it doesn't have the continuity feature . I have also noticed that when it is connected to USB it doesn't try to charge either (no battery indicator). I feel that Wismec won't respond favourably; and with that in mind, what would I have to remove to check these battery conections ? Yesterday a Hard Reset via Escribe fixed the problem momentarily only to fail again moments later. I did notice that uncharacteristically the mod was getting warm in the usb/adjustment buttons area.

Hi Guys, A couple of days ago, after working perfectly for 8 months I am getting the Battery Check error. The batteries have seldom been removed as I have always charged it by USB and I'm convinced that the Samsung 25R's are working perfectly as I have checked them with other mods. According to Escribe, Pack Voltage and individual cell voltages are all 0.00 V. Doesn't seem to be any connection to the batteries at all. Vendor says it's out of warranty and haven't had a reply to my email to Wismec yet. Bit dissapointing for 8 months considering its cost. Any advise would be appreciated

Just wondered if you might be pushing the VT200 a bit. Steam Engine would suggest at least 7 wraps on 28AWG Ni200 on 3/32" to comply with the minimum 0.08 ohms limit on the VT200. I've had a few builds that have fallen below 0.08 ohms that just didn't work that well. Just an idea, I doubt there's anything wrong with the VT200. Regards

I have several RDA's, but when I seriously want to test a new flavour I always come back to the Plume Veil 1.5. Doesn't hold a lot of juice, can't do big builds but for flavour my Vertex, Evil Monk, Marquis, Velocity can't compete. Should have a new Sapor arriving mid week

Get in touch with the retailer and ask their advice. Sounds like the DNA200 chip has failed and a replacement VT200 to me. Had mine for 13 days and the same thing happened. Waiting for a replacement from the retailer who also incidentally offered me a refund. Be interested to hear the outcome.
