[Yoko Vape TRX167 settings required]

Help required as i didnt save the original settings for a Hugo Vapor/Yoko Vape TRX167 when i used the hard reboot function while exploring escribe.

Its basically not going into deep sleep as i dont see any welcome screen when i pick it up to use in the morning and also acting weird with the screen coming on ready to fire without being touched.

Ive reset escribe defaults and the battery bar shows as  empty, i know its in 250/3 cell mode so i change to 167/2 cell with hg2 curve and cutoff 2.8 but still misbehaves.

I had originally set it up with the following:

3 click lock/unlock, themes in my coil presets with 2 additional welcome/ my name screens both to display for 3s, 30 secs idle on screen options, i had played with the charging brightness so i could monitor charge but reverted back to 0 as i charge batteries externally.

But still no deep sleep, is it a bug in the options im using or hardware?

Otherwise its performing fine with power and temp modes.

I'm not entirely sure the problem is the battery cover.  I've had mine for about 2 weeks.  I didn't have any problems until yesterday. Mine just randomly quit.  Literally was using it, set it down for maybe 5 minutes, picked it up and nothing.  So, I did all the standard things when things like this happen.  Clicked all the buttons.  Power 5 times, the rest randomly  Said out loud "What the fuck"...  looked at it while turning it to see all sides.  Clicked the buttons some more.  Took off the battery cover. Put it back on and clicked the buttons some more.   You know.  The standards.  changed batteries and heard the zzt.  You know the one.  The one you wonder if its a good zzzt, or a bad zzzt.   Clicked the power button and it was on.  Changed the battery back to the first one, and nothing again.  Played with the battery door a little then everything started to get HOT. The Bat door and the side of the mode where the battery tube is. I quickly took off the battery door and pulled the battery.  It was quite hot.  So, I did what any person like me does.  I took all the screws out to see what the hell is going on.  The PCB right around the Neg and Pos pads were browned just a little.  I forgot to take pictures before I sealed the solder up.  I sealed all the leads with some hot glue(all i had) then covered with elec. tape.  Put all back together and all works.  Only been a few hours but all seems to be working fine.   

This is my experience so far. Other then that, i've been quite happy with the chip. I have the black one and am even Ok with the browning of the leather.  I kinda like it.

Had to leave as i was typing that.  OK..so,  All that being said.  It was a good thing that I was checking things out when this happened.  The potential for the battery to vent seems to be VERY high as I see it.  All the leads and solder points in this mod are completely exposed. The consumer shouldn't have to worry about these things.  I like the feel and shape of this mod but am not happy with the assembly. 

This explains alot because the base of my black vt75c got hot right where the right hex screw was if you had the screws across the top looking at the base.  

I took off the bottom plate and adjusted soldered contact and that seems to have cured it.

But now i feel i have to dissemble the whole mod and make it safe!

 FFS first hcigar product will prolly be my last, guess the chip needs to go into a DIY box now, shame i like the feel of the hcigar.

Just seen mrcrunch`s post so maybe my base wasnt as secure as it should`ve been neverless this is poor manufacturing housing a quality chip.

I use ijoy 26650 batteries in mine my mod gets warm with those batteries. I used a awt yellow one first and had one get super hot and the battery became unusable. My thoughts they need to fix this issue before someone gets seriously hurt.

I Second the iJoy 26650 getting warm quite a few times and the one time it got really hot i inspected the baseplate were the heat was originating from, basicaly looking at the bottom of the mod with the two hex screws across the top, the right one has a earth connection soldered to it inside, this solder looked like it was making a contact where it shouldnt be or mentioned before some high resistance issue. I moved it slightly and reassembled and seems ok atm but im not 100% comfortable using this a daily.

Hcigar i hope you read this  "we dont need to give the FDA any more reasons to mess up the scene"
