nicovape Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hello everyone!I have a strange issue on my Reuleaux DNA 200. Sometimes, i am vaping and it says lock, even though, i did not lock it.Sometimes it says locked. but will fire again on the next try! just one press and it will fire even though, it said locked on last try.Then show locked, then fire again.. sometimes it is very hard to unlock.. This is driving me crazy.. Anyone experienced such problems before ?I set it to lock on 3X, which used to work very well. I tried both recommended and last firmware.. same..

nicovape Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 It seems that if i set it to 7X to lock, it doesn't happen.. But, i counted, and if i want to lock or unlock, it will do it on 5X , not 7X..Is there a bug in the locking feature, or is my mod/board going fubar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I have two of them and never one has developed that problem yet. But it does seem your button is intermittent. EScribe's Device Monitor under the Diagnostics button, you can simulate button presses and see if it works fine with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Good idea, i will experiment there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Works perfectly well with the "puff" feature in the device monitor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I might have fixed it. Since it worked fine from Device Monitor "puff" feature, i supposed it could be more of a "mechanical" issue, in the sense of contactors.. So i used some electronic cleaning spray. Which is used to remove oxydation and clean contactors. I flooded it and pressed the button one hundred time. did it a few times. now, it seems to work again correctly. I don't want to scream victory yet, but it could be that liquid from some drippers leaked on the button (100% VG FTW) and it did not work so good anymore. I used it for many months now. Early november. If that fixes it, it is a good thing to know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Ok after one hours of flawless work.. it autofired.. I did not pay attention when i stopped vaping, it fired long.. and keep firing all the time now.. the button feels funky. I think, i am going to throw this mod by the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 It maybe worth taking out the batteries, taking off the face plate, checking the screen cable is not fouling the switch and there is no e-liquid, dirt or solder on the board. It that doesn't solve it you could try taking out the batteries, taking off the face plate and unclipping the switch cover and cleaning and drying the inside of the switch, not which way up the metal disc goes. This is not something I would advise normally, but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 The ribbon cable is not on the way of the button. I already fixed this long ago. now, i opened it again, and cleaned with air spray, and other things.. the button is back to life, but for how long? I don't know how to open the front cover, to access the button. Do you know of any video or instruction to do it safely? I already ordered another reuleaux, this one is dying on me, and i love this mod. So i will get another one and this will be a guinea pig. The funny thing is my hanna modz V200 from August last year, is still alive and rocking, even if it is supposed not to be solid. but the battery life is just awful.

BillW50 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 You sprayed hair spray on the fire button? Oh that can't be good. Alcohol might be able to wash that spray away. Oh course, let the alcohol dry before connecting up the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 of course it is a typo. air spray! I will edit my post haha. I am not retarded.I think the button got juice over the past few months and it is not so good apparently.i want to clean the button, but i don't know how to access it to clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Alcohol should cut any juice I would think. Maybe using something like a glass or a can and pour alcohol in it and drop the Reuleaux in there and let it soak for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I could give it a shot. i did not dare to fill a glass up to the point where the button is immersed. but that should be rather safe.Nobody has objection on this idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 What kind of alcohol do you plan to use? Denatured alcohol would be a big no-no since it eats lots of things. I'm not crazy about rubbing alcohol because it contains lubricants and stuff. But many still use it anyway. Ethyl alcohol would be the best I would think. Not sure what is all in Vodka? But if nothing dangerous to plastics or leaves a film or anything, it might be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 i thought of using denatured alcohol that is used to clean wounding and so on.. that's all i have here.. well besides vodka, and other stuff of course.. but not sure that would be good either.. so basically i should do nothing at this point. so far it is still working after a few hours.. but i'd rather clean it properly, as this autofiring that happened without me noticing was a little scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 AFAIK, clear Vodka only has ethyl alcohol (like 40%) and 60% water. I never tried it, but it might be ok. Denatured alcohol can contain a number of things including acetone. So I wouldn't use that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VapingBad Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Isopropyl alcohol is good, I got 5 l from eBay for about 20GBP, no you can't drink it, it is just a good solvent for this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicovape Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well, i went the vodka way. One shot for DNA and one Shot for me The vodka came out pretty dirty and oily. the button works fine so far hopefully, this will be final Photo for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
