Havensal Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 My original board lasted just over a month. Just stopped working mid vape. Completely dead. I rebuilt the mod with the replacement just under a month ago. I was vaping on it yesterday and heard a pop. Now this board is completely dead. I haven't pulled the board yet to see if I can find the failed component.This is so frustrating. I love the board, but I cant afford to be tearing it apart and shipping the board back every month. It's not like I was running 200W, it was a single 28Ga TI coil in an Erlkönigin. I have already submitted a support ticket, I just need to vent a bit.

josh Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 This has happened to me twice! Evolv need to explain why these are all failing and fix it or give us some money for our losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 What is the device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havensal Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Mine is a DIY box. I could understand if the box was dropped or it happened right after assembly, but after a month you would think any cold solder joints or shorts would have already presented themselves.

vidalcris Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Some people will try to protect Evolv saying that this is because the assembly is the problem ... but i agree, i also got one dead dna200.You just have to search inside this forum to see that there is a lot of problems with the dna200 for now.I got a lot of box and this is the first time a chipset is dead after one week :-/For sure Evolv are working on this problem right now, but they dont want to admit ...

antyac2108 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I had the same issue with my DIY it lasted two months and had WARRANTY SERVICE message. Installed my new replacement board and one month later same issue WARRANTY SERVICE. I also don't think it's the install being the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havensal Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well, replacement board #2 just died. I went for a quick vape at lunch and it worked fine for a couple of hits and then nothing but the unmistakable smell of the magic smoke leaving a component on the board. I took the battery out just to be safe but before I did there was nothing on the screen and no response to any button press. I sure hope this trend doesn't continue. The first board just quit, vape... Vape... Nothing. The first replacement let out a pop when it died. I hope the next one doesn't go up in a ball of flames. I'll have to inspect the board when I get home and see if anything sticks out as a cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
