VapingBad Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Looks like you have it set to max-recharges on the mod tab in EScribe, that limits the charge to 4.1 V which will approximately double the life of your batteries. Choose max-puffs to charge to 4.2 V, you will need the options - UI set to advanced to see the mod tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiko Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thank you for the reply, it wont charge even if cell voltage is 3.0V. I charge the batteries using external charger now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Could you vape on it for awhile to discharge the batteries some & then post another screenshot of device manager & possible one of the 'Mod' tab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giz_60 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Have you tried a different USB cable...different USB port on your computer...or even tried charging via USB wall adapter? I had a USB cable that came with my 250 that I had to replace due to problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I request a replace?I would start with the vendor you bought your device from...if no luck there, contact Hcigar...http://service@hcigar.comIf all else fails, you can try contacting Evolv, but they are going to probably want you to remove the board from the device & ship it to them, in the U.S. & this will probably void your warranty as well...https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/?a=add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the mfgr's really this lax and not doing this, or is it new users happy with a hard reboot? (I notice there were no resets of the data in his screen shots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
