Mine has arrived at the local sort facility. It remains to be seen whether it'll make it from there to my PO, thence to my door, today. It's scheduled for tomorrow. Which brings me to...

I'm a bit annoyed with ecig-city. They charged me $6 S&H. I assumed that would be USPS Priority 2-Day. Nope: Plain old first class package. I am not pleased. Ecig-city is now on my "not if there's another option" list.
Mine is at my P.O. Mail is usually late here, so I doubt I'll get it until at least 2:00. Our carrier sucks, too, big surprise. I should get it today, though. I can't wait to build the LowPro. It looks pretty awesome.

That sucks about the First class shipping. I bought other stuff so I had $65 in my cart, thus free shipping. The free shipping IS priority 2-Day. Just for future sake, if you ever order there again. I bet you'll get it today if it's at your P.O. You would think, at least...

Out for delivery. I won't trust it until it's in my hands, though. Vape mail is almost stressful. I'm excited to get stuff, but terrified it will be mis delivered or lost, or one of the many other mistakes they make. Anyway, should have it this afternoon. I hope you all get yours today, too.

Esp. when you pay $6 for it.

Unlikely.

Not only did they screw me on shipping, but they have failed to answer my email, a politely-worded email, as well. Ecig-city is now on my "do not use" list.

I bet you'll get it today if it's at your P.O. You would think, at least...
It's out for delivery. While that's nice: It misses the point.

I got mine. It won't fire below .4. It reads it and doesn't give an error message, but won't fire below .4. Can someone confirm that to be normal? I'm thinking it's going back. Supposed to fire .2. Please any input is helpful so I can figure out if this is defective. It's nice otherwise. Tiny. I really don't want to have to return this.

I thought it was .2 also. I don't have a build that low, so hopefully someone weighs in. I do love the little sucker, though.
The specs all say .2 but .8 is recommended. I just want to see if I need to send it back. I already emailed the vendor to let them know. I'm hoping they changed the firmware to .4. .2 sounds dangerous on this thing anyway. But I wNt it to do what it is supposed to.

nah, it will fire down to .2, but you will suck the battery dry in no time that low. I'm running a dual coil setup on my Royal Hunter Mini at 1 Ohm and the vapor is great at 40 Watts.

Well, mine wont fire below .4 even fully charged. I dont intend to vape like that on this device, but if others can fire at .2 and mine reads it but wont fire below .4, i need to exchange it. Hope its not too much of a hassle.

I did buy it from idkman, remember I told him if he was getting a replacement to sell me the tank and you commented afterwards...:D
He sent me the Mod and Tank for $20 Shipped and I got the Mod to work also! So I got the Black Micro One kit for $20 Shipped :D

I would not worry about it. If it still works, use coils above .4 ohms.

Nice, glad you're liking it. I will be sending mine back now that I know others actually fire below .4. Oh well, it's a nice looking mod, I just got a bad one.

*sigh* My wife's keeps shutting itself off. She vapes, sets it down, goes to vape again later and it's turned itself off. Fracking wonderful :(

I believe after 10 mins its supposed to shut itself off to conserve battery.

You bought a COV Mini Volt ??? OMG. It's a toy! For someone so (seemingly) price conscious you could've gotten a real mod with 4X the power at half the cost. :) Hope you like it !!! :) Of course, for a stealthy mod, it's pretty cool.

It does have auto shut off. Nothing wrong with it.
Ah HAH!

Would be nice if: 1. They'd actually, you know, mention that in the documentation and 2. Provide a way to turn it off?

"Sleep mode" I take to mean "display shuts off." Just like any other mod.

Yeah, but, I must admit, a pretty neat little toy.

If you'd read more carefully you would have noticed the "wife" part. It's for my wife. For her: The smaller and lighter-weight, the better. We'd bought her a Mini iStick, but it turned out that didn't do VW, just VV, and she wasn't happy with the vape. I loaned her my iTaste VV4 and she liked how that worked, but not the form factor. The COV MV is perfect for her. She even likes the looks.

Or did you mean to turn off sleep mode?

I'm still having coffee, so I'm slower than my norm this morning.

So i think i solved the riddle, and may not have a defective unit. It will fire under .4, but not without taking the wattage down to a 10 amp draw. So i can fire .35 at 35 watts, but if i go further, nada. Just reads it, nothing happens. Im guessing this has a 10 Amp chip. Makes sense for its size.

I built a 1.4 Kayfun lite, been a loooong time, lol. Its not what I'm used to, but at 23 watts, it Vapes nicely. The Kayfun looks kind goofy, it towers on it. I haven't built the LowPro, its a bitch. The first atty I've encountered that i had to take a break from building it. Im gonna use thicker wire and see if it traps the leads. My authentic Thump looks awesome on it. Its at .38, so i can dial down the power.


Can anyone else please confirm that it wont fire if the amp draw exceeds 10. All my attys seem to fire once i lower the wattage so its drawing at or less than 10 amps. Im hoping this is normal, i dont want to send it back.

I just got the low pro built. First single coil in ages. It looks like it would be easy to build, but it's not. Flavor is really good.

And I know someone wants to help me see if this thing has a 10 amp limit, lol. It sure seems to for me.

I tossed in a mystery Clapton at 1 ohm. Flavor is very good and warm at only 25w

I'll build something lower later, mine fired a .2ohm nickel arctic coil at 20w fine though. Don't wanna go higher because nickel.

Thank you kindly ;) I need answers NOW. Lol.

My LowPro build came to .65, lower than I wanted, but it vapes well. I'll probably re build it tomorrow to around 1 ohm. Its a pretty great flavor atty thus far, just difficult to trap the leads. Don't feel like re building it right now.

Thanks man! If I'm right, .2 should only fire up to 20 watts if it's a 10 amp chip. I'm really hoping that's what it is.

Now it's firing some attys over ten amps. My Aelous, and one of my six vectors. One vector worked once at full power, but wouldn't do it again. All authentic. I don't get it... Something's wrong, and I'm gonna exchange it. No word from ecig city... Hope they take care of it.

Still nothing from ecig city. I haven't emailed them a second time, or called, which I plan to do. Kinda crappy to not even respond. I don't know what to do anyway.

It fires some of my attys to 40 that are about.31. Others, no good. Just strange, since I'm using so many of the same attys to test it, all with similar builds. Doesn't make sense. Kinda suggests it's the atty, but then why do some Vectors work, some don't? It will fire my .23 dual Clapton build, too, at 40. Just strange. I like the atty, so worse case, I got a $55 atty for $35 if the device craps out.

I noticed the threads on mine aren't the greatest, certain attys might be making a better negative connection than others

I would never try to use such a tiny mod in the way you are, @TBCAmor. That being said: It should do what it's supposed to do. Ecig-city's poor communications is disheartening.

I agree, I just had nothing built for it and wanted to test it. I built the LowPro higher and it's working on it, and some of my attys fire full power, some don't. I bought it for errands. I have so many mods, I wanted something to be able to just pocket quick and go. Planned on staying below 40 watts, I'm enjoying the LowPro at 33, I don't like pushing chips to the max. Or batteries, for that matter. Like you said, it's a matter of it should do what it's supposed to do, and what others are doing. I consider inconsistent firing of attys potentially dangerous in and of itself. Still no word from the City. I haven't hounded them this weekend, I just didn't want to deal with it. I'll be calling them tomorrow. I may keep it. The atty is worth it alone. It just doesn't make sense that two identical attys, with as close to identical builds as is possible, one fires full power one you have to lower it. And I have six vectors to compare. Along with tons of other attys. Just strange.

We shall see tomorrow what happens. I'm worried if I send it in they won't replace it, since it works for some attys. I'll clear that up before I do anything, though. Again, I may keep it, see how long it lasts. If I didn't get the bundle I'd be kinda pissed right about now.

@blakemorder my threads aren't bad, but there is some play I've noticed with attys at times. You very well could be right, and that small difference may be why some attys work. Some don't. I'm gonna watch football and not stress on it lol.
