Tagsanstuff Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I went to use my e-power 18650 . put a freshly charged battery and new cartomizer in it. It started smoking is sizzling without me even pushing the button. The button is not stuck. I am darn right afraid now to use it. anyone have this issue?

mega Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 was the carto sizzling? sometimes the buttons stick and the light wont be on. put a drop of e liquid next to switch rub it around the switch wipe clean then grab it with both finger nails twist and wiggle. should solve it. if you have rubber button one theres a paperclip trick to slide the internals of the switch in correct position.

mega Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 check your batteries first with meter. how old is it? the old switches were crap theres new ones out now. i use the 14650 no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsanstuff Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Mine is the new switch they came out with. I love it! but since last night when it decided to start smoking by its self, kinda got me worried. It burned 3 carto's. My house stunk like something burning. I will purchase a new switch and see if it works. E-power is about a month 1/2 old. I do not have a battery tester.

mega Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 check to see if they will send you out a switch for free under warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johns Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Happened to me when I put the battery in wrong. Switch never worked again. Best place for a new switch is Ctystal Clear Vaping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsanstuff Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 It has really disappointed me. I loved it until It stopped working. non of the batteries or carto's will get it working. I contacted the vendor and she does not know what is wrong with it. there is no juice in it that is making it not work. I put the fresh bat and carto and wham, I had a smoke bomb. I only had it for 1 1/2 months. It should not of failed so soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECRECIGS Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 So from the start these switches were only designed for the 14650 batteries, Then when the design was fully given to designers at smoktech shenzhen china manufacturing they were asked to go bigger with the batteries. which I am still in awe about considering the battery last two days of heavy vaping. So what they did was build a switch design that would suit two of the three designs , which didnt work out so well. They moved forward with only two designs and wound up changing the design again. they work great now . if you all need any help with these let me know or just need some help with a custom designed e cig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonHitThingWithRock Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 with the cheaper stuff like e-power, it's good to have spares laying around (i picked up 2 e-powers when i got mine, 1 ego-style 18650, and one regular 18650), sometimes they'll last years, sometimes weeks. take a look at the Legacy from PureSmoker.com, it's purely mechanical, no electronics to go wrong (except what's in the battery you use with it). it is more expensive, but infinitely better made (in America, of all places), plus you can use the 18650's you already have.
