alee132 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have had this mod for a few months. Just recently I noticed that when I moved my mod quickly one time, I heard something rattle. So I took of the tank, removed battery's, tank, and held onto the buttons, yet it still rattles. I actually think it feels like something is moving around when I am shaking it but it's working fine. I just hate the noise. I am not sure I want to bother with taking it apart. I have a feeling it's either something around the 510 area inside or inside the battery contact housing, like a spring, piece of plastic or something. Anyways else ever heard of this or had this happen or think you know what it may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I would at least remove the front plate and have a look, it just unscrews from the battery sled, if it is something conductive it could cause a short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 The 510 socket is a bit loose without an atomizer screw in, maybe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alee132 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I took front plate off but it's nothing inside that area. It sounds like it's up top area or maybe inside the battery contact housing area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't turn because the part inside is squarish. But it is somewhat loose. It sits right behind the battery sled. Once you remove it you can see it. I'll look for a pic or video.UPDATE: Here you go. At 32:30 if this doesn't work.[video]https://youtu.be/iMuVAerOhSI?t=32m30s[/video] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alee132 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Now today it started doing some thing else. I unlocked the mod by pressing fire five times. Then it lets me fire the atomizer but then it locks itself again in the middle of during it. I can only unlock and take partial puffs before it locks all over again. What in the world is going on now? I'm a but worried now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black lace Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I would get the batteries out, it sounds like you need to get to the bottom of the rattling noise, it sounds like you have a short.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alee132 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 OK I opened it up finally to figure out what is shaking around. It turns out one of the 2 big square heat sinks has come loose. Is that fixable ? Or am I screwed now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I screwed now ?not sure what your calling a heat sink, as far as I know there is no heat sink as standard on the board as far as named "heat sink" can you put a shot up..are you referring to an inductor, one of two,,, check this thread.. https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/66994-topic/?do=findComment&comment=902800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so they are inductors and you need to send the mod/board for repair, if the vendor wont help Evolv probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will evolv let me send it to them for repair ? Do they do that as I don't trust wismec to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
