Evic Vt wont turn on

[Cave Johnson]

There's been minimal reports of electronic components failing??? This can't be good, we had all better sell our eVics

Try to contact the store to ask for help. Most store support replacement or compensation in Warranty.

My Evic VT doesn't always turn on if it's not plugged in even if the battery is fully charged, so sometimes I have to plug it in in order to get the Evic vt to turn on.
The other problem I have it likes to fire on its own where I have to unscrew The RBA or The RDA to stop it or just wait the 10 sec safety timeout which ruins my Wicks without airflow cooling the coils.

In light of this, what is the warranty like?
If i get one from a vendor and it dies within a month, am i stuck with the R 1000 paper weight?
Also, is it the chip or just the other components and workmanship?

Not to start anything here, I wonder if the quality on devices from certain companies is just better and therefore they are priced higher? Cough Cough.

A good vendor should give you 3 months but the wholesaler/manufacturers don't give much more so it's difficult for retailers as the warranty for them starts on receiving the goods

Sorry man, I usually avoid posting these incidents here, and it's the main reason why I haven't got into electronic devices again.

Thats the reason why after today ill be a reonaut as well..simple, effective, efficient and ffing indestructible..

@MJ INC i am the second owner and the vendor refuses to assist as he says the warranty is only applicable to the original owner,so i am now unfortunately stuck with a dead evic vt

You have the consumer protection act on your side... but I am confident any good vendor would take it back under the standard warranty. .

The act applies to new and not used goods..here you buy footstoots unless otherwise indicated.

Oh see you did? Bit trickier I suppose unless you have the receipts

I have no reciepts but the vendor acknowledges that the previous owner purchased the device from him

Even then he is not considered a consumer rather a buyer..the act is supposed to protect you from stuff like buying a broken tv from a samsung store

Ok so basically im stuck with a piece of crock

Mmmmm. Then you would have a problem.. the warranty would still be valid even if the products second hand...Maybe not protected under the consumer protection act.. I never realised in was second hand at the time of the comment.. but you need the receipt. .

That's not very nice. Transferring any product transfers the warranty as long as you have the receipt

 

[kelly22]

I think im gonna start looking at a mod technician to have a look at this
