Itaste Svd

[Rob Fisher]

After all this time I have found the reason why I had so much trouble with my SVD in the beginning...

If you have a look at these two batteries you will see they are not the same size... but they are both marked as 18650's! The one on the left I got first at the same time as the SVD and the SVD seemed faulty... but with the replacement I also ordered some new batteries and used those when they arrived and the SVD seemed to work fine. The funny sized one I had at the back of drawer and had never used it again but donated it to my mate along with the SID. He phoned in a state when his first battery ran out and he put the other one (one on the left) into the SID... she no work because she no close and she is longer and fatter than a normal 18650.

So I have to apologize for being ugly to the SVD all this time... it appears as it was a lemon battery all along!


Sorry iTaste SVD.

Is the one on the left a self protected battery?iv noticed that the vtr only uses non protected 18650 batteries.and innokins website does state this.but only researched after battery was ordered so the hinge would not close with a self protected battery.

Yip the one I returned with the SVD and you sent me a new battery with the new SVD... but I kept the other one and only discovered it was a lemon today! It's been sitting at the back of the drawer. BUt don't sweat it Stroods... it was part of the learning curve and I'll just throw it into the gorge.

You can use them in mechs although I wouldnt advise it. We bought those in when we first started and had no idea what we were doing. One must have gotten mixed up with the imr's somehow. Will send you a replacement

i think my SVD is gone bananas!

i got a 0.9ohm coil on the russian, which worked perfectly fine on the SVD until last night.

all of a sudden, it read 0.0A- meaning that the resistance is too low. i take off the russian, screw onto the nemesis, fire, have a few pulls then put back into the SVD.

it then reads 1.0ohm, and works fine. i pull a few drags, recheck the ohms, and it reads 1.8.

anyway, pull another few, recheck, then it reads 2.3ohms.

now im thinking, WHAT THE HELL.

i put it on the ohms reader, it reads 0.89ohms, back onto the SVD, it doesnt fire.

what could be the issue here?

 

[Rowan Francis]

there sounds like a loose connection somewhere ...

 

[BhavZ]

I had the same issue with my SVD and my igo-l..

Turned out that one of the coil legs was coming lose

ahhhh, ok ill need to check that

will it still be fine to vape on the nemmy?

 

[Alex]

I would fix the coil first, don't want a short on the mech.

It will fire on the neme but remember you are gonna put your battery under variable load because of a bad connection so that is would be unsafe in my books.

Rather fix the coil first

 

[Riaz]

what a schlep

i can only do that after work

 

[Riaz]

wait, hold on

so if i didnt check this atty on the SVD, what position would that have put me in?

i dont notice any difference in the vape, how else would i have known the coil might be faulty?

 

[dragontw]

@Riaz You have a short on your coil. Be careful you can damage your mods.

 

[Riaz]

so that means no vaping for me today

 

[Metal Liz]

oh nooooo!!! that's a horrible idea @Riaz is there nobody on the forum that's close by that can help you out???

Eish dude, that's why I had to get more devices after my MVP decided to die. Now I keep my stingray at work, my nemesis at home and my mvp goes with me at all times in between.

Just tighten the coil screws. If the leg is already broken just undo the screw push the leg deeper in and tighten again.
