tdelandero Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello I have a lost vape therion 166 Everything was working perfect since I buy it around 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I notice that my therion was not charging the batteries any more, I replace the batteries and when I connect it to the power the Watts are 1.00 W and 0.19A Please help me.

giz_60 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Can you post a screen shot of the 'Mod' tab in Escribe & a screen shot of Device Monitor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdelandero Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Sure I'm getting now a message that say Check battery The batteries are new and when the device it's connected to the power the battery indicator blinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 On one picture, Cell 1 is .01v & on the other, 2.4v...looks like you have a battery connection issue...have you checked the battery compartment to make sure no juice has leaked in....you might try cleaning the battery contacts with some iso alcohol...

tdelandero Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello, I have clean all the contacts and the issue still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Have you tried charging your batteries in an external charger...even if the batteries are new, if they are both not fully charged or at least evenly charged, you are going to have issues with the device...

tdelandero Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Ok i will charge the batteries and then try it, but do you think that the device it's ok? Or what other issue could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Won't know for sure till you try with properly charged batteries....let us know what you find out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdelandero Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hello Today I install the fully charged batteries and the error did not show again. The vape is working normally but how can I be shure that the vape it's fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 If it's working normally now, then it should be fine...if there was a problem with device, then after installing fully charged batteries, the problem would still exist. If those are some older batteries & you start having problems again, then the batteries may be getting weak & you might want to consider purchasing some new ones...Glad to hear it's working now...

tdelandero Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks a lot !!! So you recommend me to charge the batteries with the external charger than connected directly to the power source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdelandero Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 This is the charger and the batteries I'm using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't matter, but you should always use the batteries as a married set....charge together...discharge together...tdelandero said:This is the charger and the batteries I'm using The charger should be fine, but would recommend batteries that are on Mooch's list....and make sure you get them from a reputable source..lots of fakes out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdelandero Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 For last, when I connect the vape directly to the power source using a Samsung galaxy 2A charger this it looks. Does it look normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yup...looks good...like I said, if the problems come back, it's probably because of the batteries...the ones you have are probably what are referred to a re-wraps...a battery that has been wrapped with a different cover...no telling what is underneath...

tdelandero Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 So the once in the picture are fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Fakes would be ones that someone has re-wrapped a cheaper battery, but is selling as a name brand...they may work ok, but the ones on Mooch's list have been tested & those are the ones that are recommended for our purposes...I personally use LG HG2, VTC5, VTC5a, VTC6, 30q....If you find them really, really cheap...then they are probably fake..buy from a reputable supplier! A couple of extra dollars will go a long way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it look normal?No, I get > 1.9 A from Samsung 2 A charger, could be the Wh set too low, the device limits charge to 1 C rate, also to 1 A when data is connected like a PC USB 3 port, but setting the charging current in DM to low as others have said seems most likely cause. For the guy wit 0.1 A charge have you disable charging in DMA accidentally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, cause it happens during night charging with wall plug.Also, i don't have this option in my Escribe (v1.2 SP5.2) How to enable these options for USB charge ?

VapingBad Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 It might be on the mod tab on that version, something like uses external charger, you would want to set that to false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
