*** 200s Puff counter gone crazy??? ***

[RonNYC]

I have a Wismec 200S and my puff counter is going crazy, puff counter is going up 1,2 and some times by 5, most of the times it's going by 2's...... Any way to fix this??? Am on firmware 4.13

I don't put a lot of faith in the puff counter to begin with. That aside though, you could try pulling the batteries and letting it sit for somewhere between 5-20 minutes to let any residual energy dissipate, and then put the batteries back in it. This is effectively "rebooting" it. If that doesn't work, I would try reloading the firmware. If you don't have it, you can get it from the Wismec website. It's possible that something has gotten corrupted or glitched and needs to be reloaded. Finally, if nothing else is affected, you could choose to just live with it, but keep an eye on it and see if anything else starts acting up.

HTH

Thanks, I left it overnight without batteries, I reloaded firmware V4.13... Guess I'll just live with it

This may be a silly question, as I don't have the 200S in the collection, but are you sure that isn't the puff counter in seconds? A lot of my mods have the option of displaying seconds fired for, and 2-5 Seconds is fairly average for someone vaping?

That's a GREAT question, I didn't think about that. It could be the actual time you vape per hit, not the cumulative count of hits.

It's the puff counter for sure, display of seconds comes up for 2 seconds or so and goes away, puff counter keeps climbing by 2's. It was at 3000+ and reset it when I installed a new coil. I usually reset it to see how many puffs my coil last

Ah, okay. That definitely clears things up a bit. Just out of curiosity, what kind of tank are you using, which coils, and what's the average lifespan (number of puffs)?

I'm really intrigued to know how many puffs on average you get out of that coil. How does it translate to average number of days for you?

Ahh fair enough, I just wondered if it was adding the seconds together and displaying the total time vaped, instead of an actual puff counter.

Was this the first time you had reset it after installing a new coil? It sounds like an annoying issue if you like the puff counter, especially as you have reinstalled the firmware. I am sorry I can't offer an explanation or help here, it is an odd issue for sure.

Not the first time resetting puff counter, Iv'e had the 200S about 4 months

On average I would guess 200-250 puffs a day, not to sure because I use Alien while working and rotate from my other mods when am home. I average a little over 3000 puffs on T8 coil vaping from 90 to 120 depending on juice
