  1. The charger is correctly detecting a faulty battery or broken balance wire. Assuming the mod is accurately reading the cell Voltages then the battery IS effectively DEAD. DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to "recovery charge" a LiPo cell that is discharged to 0 Volts without learning a LOT more about LiPo batteries. Any decent charger won't let you unless you cheat and set it to the wrong battery type, and if you could then A FIRE is the most likely result. An explosion is also a distinct possibility. Even assuming you were successful that cell will have been damaged and the battery will constantly try to go out of balance. For the price of fitting a replacement battery why take such risks. If you don't understand something so commonly known to be dangerous VapingBad why would you give any advice at all regarding the battery. If you do understand the dangers then you should realise that it is not the sort of advice to give out randomly without any warnings.
  2. IMO it is really well built. The 510 protrudes but not higher than the top of the 22 mm atomizer well set into the top of the mod. The battery holds firmly to the power module by magnets at the top and the battery connectors at the bottom. My only concern regarding construction is that the 510 does not appear to be sealed, but adding an o-ring of the correct size will sort that out. Another member has posted some pictures in /topic/65689-topic/?do=findComment&comment=889270 which show the internals.
  3. Received the mod Friday afternoon. Charged the battery with provided RC charger and noticed the battery meter wasn’t showing full. Installed EScribe and loaded updated firmware then entered the correct battery specification 10 WH 3-cell LiPo which corrected the battery meter. Mod worked fine that evening and all day Saturday. Charged via USB overnight. Sunday morning the mod worked fine for about an hour and then just stopped working altogether. Blank screen, won’t fire, won’t connect to PC. I’ve checked: Battery is 80% charged and all cells are showing correct voltages at the main connector and the battery balance connector. On-board Fuse continuity OK & Battery Voltage is present beyond the fuse. Good continuity from 510 threads to battery –ve and output –ve (via mod body and screw in standoffs) Visually I cannot see any burned up components. The mod seems very well constructed so it would appear I have a failed board. It is a simple 3 wire installation using the case as ground. Mod serial number is 0013. IIRC EScribe reported the board DOM as June 2015. Anything else I should check before making a warranty claim through the vendor?
