mstave Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Ejuice leaked into the mod, took the mod to bits, cleaned everything, board seems fine, but one cell of the LIPO reads 0.001 V - looks like I need a new lipo. Anyone have one to sell, or suggestions for where to get one?It's got a Think Vape wrap, measured cap is close to the 1500mah, calipers give 68.3mm x 35.5mm x 23.1mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 double check ALL cell voltages with a DMM before condemning the lipo. sounds more like there is ejuice left around the balance part of the DNA PCB. clean good with electronics safe cleaner then re-attach lipo.you can find a suitable replacement lipo from Hobby King or EBay....if it is indeed the lipo.

mstave Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Sounds like a good suggestion. I'm not an electronics guy, is this cleaning procedure something I can do at home? Any suggestions for a cleaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions for a cleaner?evolv recommends an electronics grade safe solvent, only, to be used with their boards. Any brand will do. It is something that you can do at home. In a pinch, I have used iso alcohol. I'm not recommending it. Use at your own risk. Do you or someone you know own a digital multi meter? Like I said, i would double check each cell's voltage with one, Especially if the mod was working fine before ejuice got on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spector NS5 RD Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 actually, i was wrong on the PCB cleaner...... Nick Evolv Registeredct 03, 2015Posts: 146Posted Oct 15, 2015 Just wanted to chime in here and say that the only thing we approve for use on anything that comes in contact with the board is a Silicone/RTV that is non-corrosive or electronics grade, such as the following:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T8R6LY/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687742&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0063U2RT8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=19S9F5TH4AEGKX71VQB8Anything else is a big nono, especially solvent based glues or epoxies, the two part epoxies commonly used, etc. apparently Evolv doesn't want you spraying anything on the boARD that is solvent based. up to you if you want to use iso alc or not. all i can say is, i used it with no ill after effects.
