Uh...thanks for sharing guys?

Wow! no one is going to believe this... So I decided screw it! At worse its a loss so why not disassemble it just to see if I cant find what went wrong. After tediously removing the 8 thin stainless steel rods from the top half of the 134 I was able to access the firing button and its circuit board. Then, below that, there were 3 5mm nuts holding a retention plate for the Variable Wattage ring... Got those off and I noticed something peculiar when I got a view at under the wattage ring. There are 5 very small ball bearings that the Variable Wattage ring sits on and one of the bearings had been somehow thrown out of its well, I suspected this could possibly have been the reason I was feeling an extremely hot sensation on the VW ring since this misplaced ball bearing was grounding out the battery and causing the wacky light show. Got all the ball bearings back into place (took like 4 tries) tightened everything back down and BAM! This sucker is firing like Rambo again!!! EVERY TIME! I got my babyback, babyback, babyback!!! So happy!!!! Thanks for all the helpful input but sometimes I guess you gotta just get your hands dirty if you want to get something done!!!

Smoktech SID and ACE both come in a really nice pink.

If you don't know exactly what it is that you're buying -- like in this case -- I would suggest you not buy it. An RBA is not for beginners. Learn with what you currently have first. Read everything you can about all different kinds of atomizers, RBAs, RDAs, mods, etc. as well as how to SAFELY use them and be sure you know how to build and use them safely before venturing further.

Genisis style atomizers are not for beginners. Not downing you but if you have never done a rebuilding this is not what you want.

Given what you put in your post ,I would avoid that device . It appears to be a rebuildable and you can't put on other atomizing devices I am pretty sure. You really don't have to keep buying more expensive stuff unless you just have too much money. What you have should provide you hours of pleasure .

It is a regular topic of conversation between my wife and I. Literally have changed nothing else in our lifestyle. Still eat, drink the same things. No new medicine, less medication actually since vaping has allowed me to stop taking blood pressure and anxiety medicine and my wife no longer takes her sinus medicine. For some reason, we both share the same "odor" in that department. Its weird lol.

Want pics?

Your so very welcome

Congrats noob

I honestly believe we either get lucky or we don't. I have had great luck with my gear. Maybe because I am an addict, at least for a few more months as I ween myself off nicotine, I am very careful with my gear. I will more then likely order some spinners. I really want an xfire (so pretty lol). You by no means made me feel bad, I just wanted any knowledge you have to share. I have been collecting gear since 2009, so info is important to me, even if I disagree. What works great for one, may not work for another.

AWESOME! Nice Job!

Cotton does have a different flavor if you want to call it that. The reason most people don't like it is you must keep it most at all times or yes it is NAS-sTAY! Dry hitting cotton is like sucking on old gym socks. LOL This is why I thought it would make a better wick for a bottom feed coil. It is also cheap and can be bought at any general store. I found no difference from boiling it to not boiling it. You just need to keep it moist.

You're a rock star! Awesome you figured it out. Bravo!

Current itaste vv v3s have great reviews, I've sold dozens... One customer slammed his in a car door, it's bent big time but still working strong, and that's a great price, if it's a real one, lotta clones on this model, we sell em at 40..

I would rather go with my other Vamo or SID as a backup since they all take the removable batts and just take a couple 18650s with me. When I go out for extended periods I take my Vamo and Magneto.

You have a better sence of humor than I do... lol I'f I couldn't get it replaced it would be creamated for sure!!!!!

Yeah that's not a cheap unit. Good luck hope your next unit is better.

Good to hear! Well, the part about haveing a back up at least..... Hope things go smoothly with the replacement.

Best of luck to you getting things sorted out! I hope it's not your only PV. I'm depending on my Itaste vv v3 to get me off analogs right now and would be screwed if it failed like that.
