1pv4 fire when installing batteries

[swolber79]

Had a few months when I change batteries it fires addy 0r tank for about 3 seconds. Does it every time. Sometimes mod stays on or shits off then I have to give 5 cliques. Works fine after. I take off rda or tank and change batteries now until I can get someone to look at.

From the sounds of it there is a fault that has developed in the chipset that is causing the malfunction...I would continue to remove the atty before putting in the batteries for safety's sake....you're doing the right thing as best as I know...I'll tag a couple other guys in my post to see if they have any other suggestions but since it's probably out of warranty you might just be stuck fiddling with it or buying a new mod. Regulated mods are great but they're not perfect. Even the best of them develops faults. Even my old Provari 2.5 which was supposed to be indestructable had to be sent in (before it's warranty was up thankfully) to have work done on it because the switch had issues and wouldn't fire right or double click....I have another one which has worked flawlessly for the two years I've had it but my point is still the same...even the best mods can have issues and I am sorry this one decided to have issues for you. Any other thoughts guys? @5150sick , @Zamazam , @OBDave ? anyone else I can't think of that might know?

@madmonkey I think you got it right with sticking to installing batteries without an atty to be safe.

I recently had a dual parallel 18650 mod almost vent an LG battery just from turning the mod on with one battery and then installing the second without remembering to turn the mod off.

It scared the shit out of me.

I always double, triple, quadruple check the positive and negative before installing each and every battery.

So I still have no idea why this happened.

All I've come up with was the possibility of one cell being at a different voltage (drained more) than the other?

I was luckily outside and threw the cell that was very hot and already beginning to swell.

I ended up wrapping the pair in tape then disposing of them later that day.

So could be batteries. I was using mojo. But put Samsung in and not doing it. When my other ones charge I'm going to see if it does it with them again. The mxjo pretty new. I only own one pair of those. The other batteries I own are the light blue samsungs.

@5150sick ....I'm glad you're ok bud...I almost cooked a battery in a vaporshark myself that unlocked in my pocket working outside....luckily I felt my pocket getting warm...but not before my wick was ash and a freshly refilled tank of light colored french vanilla liquid turned the color of Newcastle Brown and the hottest I've ever felt a DNA mod get. This summer's been a hot and brutal one and I feel like our mods and batteries are starting to feel it too....

@swolber79 .... i know MXJO's have quite a cult following for "hitting hard" but they're still a rewrap cell and the quality of what's under neath wrapper can easily vary from cell to cell and yours might be flawed causing it to do something weird...I can't prove this without testing it but it's a good idea to stick with trusted name brand batteries and not their re wrapped cousins IMHO opinion just to be on the safe side...either way I wouldn't use those batteries anymore. It's like the old tired joke where the guy says to the doctor that it hurts to raise his arm so the doctor says "well then don't raise your arm." If your batteries make your mod do weird shit than don't use those batteries in it...and just to be safe I wouldn't pop them in a mech either...just sayin
