Nord 2 Not Turning On

So I know this is feeling more and more like a taboo topic. I have an istick50w, and a subtank mini.

Today at work I do my morning ritual, of connecting the tank, taking a few puffs, and turning it off while in my office.

I just took my lunch break and head into the break room, turning it back on and for whatever reason, my device jumped from 15w, to 50!!!

I know for a fact I turned it off. I always watch the screen go off. There's no way it could turn on in my desk, or anything like that. There's no way I could turn up the watts because it's constantly locked.

I have no idea what happened but I am incredibly mad.

Now my coil is tasting burnt. I've been using it for a day or two, so it was properly primed. But I'm sure going from 15 to 50 just killed it.

It was one of my last coils too.

 

i have a new Itaste VV4 15 watt 1000mah
I don't seem to get as much time out of my battery as i expected- does anyone know about how long it should last?

I'm going to test it out to see exactly how much time i get out of a full charge but as of right now i just feel like it's not lasting as long as it should.

Also when I use it plugged up on a charging cord the battery still runs out till it eventually has no charge and turns off and cant be used till it adds up some charge on it- I thought since it was a pass through device i would still be able to continue to use it while being plugged up on the charger, so im not sure if I should actually be able to with this device and mine is not working correctly or thats just how this unit does work.  

Hey guys. So, I'm a current pod system smoker, and I've been using a smok nord as my actual pod system, but with so many new ones on the market, I'm looking forward to acquire a new one. I've seen many reviews and lists about new pod systems and am in doubt of which one to buy. So far, my picks are the Smok Nord 2, Lost Orion Plus or Smok RP80.
I like pods with loose airflow, to make big clouds and feel the nicsalt taste. I currently use a 0.6ohm mesh coil and do like it. Just feels like it run off too quick sometimes, I might use a wrong pg/vg proportion sometimes but always try to use as close to 50/50.
Let me know your experiences and what you think!
Thanks.  

My Smok Nord broke last night. I googled the problem and got an endless number of hits from people that have had the same problem. Lots of Youtube videos explaining how to fix the problem. Apparently, it has something to do with the three metal prongs attached to the battery getting pushed in and no longer making contact with the pod. Some guy tore the thing apart to show how cheaply made the springs are that are underneath the little metal prongs.

I spent 40 dollars at a vape shop for my Nord for an electronic device that was made on the cheap for a few pennies. The Nord has been around for awhile, as has this problem with the prongs. Does Nord know about it? Of course they do. Have they fixed the problem with better parts or a redesign? Of course not. What do you think, they are a legit company like Apple or Samsung? They don't care about ripping people off. Some Chinese "engineer" probably sketched out the idea for the Nord while on the toilet. Then he figured out what parts would be needed to put it together as cheaply as possible. The factory probably started producing them the same day and them sold them to marks like me who want to quit smoking.


If I bought something defective at Walmart or Target and brought in the product with the receipt, I would get my money back. How about in the vape world? Not a chance. You've got to deal with the company yourself and they will jerk you around until you give up and forget it. If you are very lucky, they will send you a replacement device after the vape store owner asks the company to do them a favor. Three months and tons of phone calls later, you might get a replacement device. But most people either give up or don't try to begin with. There's always plenty of new marks trying to quit smoking.

The guys at the vape shop told me how great this device is. They must be aware of the garbage they are hawking to people. Or maybe they don't know. People who work at vape shops are not the brightest people. And it's not just the Nord. It's every gd vape I've ever bought. One vape blew up while charging and burned a hole in my carpet which cost me 500 dollars to repair. I wrote about it on here and no one on here believed me and said I was trolling until I showed photos of the blown up device and my charred carpet. I heard, oh yeah, you shouldn't have charged it through a laptop. How the hell was I supposed to know that and why wasn't a safety feature installed to turn it off? Because that would have been too expensive to put in.

Let me ask you this. Why are all the instruction booklets that come up with the vape devices written in bizarre broken English, obviously written by a Chinese person? Because they were too cheap to hire a translator, they didn't think of it or they thought their English was better than it was. If you purchased an Apple laptop and the instructions were written in broken English, it would be incomprehensible. But not in the vape world! That's just normal. The reason they didn't get someone to check most likely is because they thought their English was good enough. That sums up vape devices: good enough. Those Chinese ......s could have found a native English speaker on the street and offered to buy him lunch if he agreed to spend 10 minutes proofreading their bad English.


If vape shop workers had any shame, they would quit, and if the owners had any shame, they would shut down their shops. They are all complicit in this and so are most of you.  

A long time ago, talking to a friend who's an electronic engeneer, he advised me to do something and so far works beautifully. It's specially true of cellphones and integrated battery stuff, so you might as well do it to your iSticks and your Kindle as well.

When you receive a new device that has an integrated battery and charger, both have circuitry controlling the charge. The first week of use or so (in the case of the Kindle the first few weeks or months) do complete discharge (until it shuts down completely) and charge completely cycles. This calibrates the battery and the charger to make a more efficient use of the energy.

Just now I'm putting a new iStick 30 though its paces. First day lasted me about 6 hours. Second day almost 8. Yesterday a full 12 hours. Doesn't matter the voltage. Charge it completely and discharge it completely a few times. You'll see how performance increases dramatically.  

I just bough my enjoy but it won’t charge like I plug it in it charges for like 5 seconds then the light goes off but when I take a hit the light blinks then I’ll put it back on the charger again but it will just go off. And yes it’s brand new oo it of the box bought it yesterday  

i have no idea how it even computed that was what the sound was_ i've been sitting for the last 5 minutes waiting to hear sirens coming from the fire station down the street; no idea if smoke detectors in Germany have an auto-call or will warn my landlord (he has presence detectors for some parts of the house which send him notifications, either by phone or email)

i've been vaping inside the studio for 4 months now, why now? this wasn't even the heaviest day, nor the closest i've vaped to the loud ........ [i've talked abt this before and know it happens random, sometimes just from MTL, just rant... venting really]

the first one to say relax... have a vape am-na bite'em in the nose!

should, i be doing something other than turning it off and airing the room out?  

I bought this aspire model about 4-5 weeks ago but only today did it stop working. When I plug it in, there is no problem and it shows on the screen that it is charged to 99% but as soon as I try to turn it on a take a hit, it doesnt turn on. Anyone have this model and know what to do?  

A friend of mine has just bought a Kbox and a brand new sammsung inr battery.

When the battery is fully charged it will only fire at 20w with a .5ohm coil. and when it gets to about 50% charge it will only fire at 8w!!

Is this normal??​
 

Hi, I'm new here and have searched but couldn't find an answer so help appreciated. When charging my MVP4 no matter what the state of charge when I put it on charge the button shows RED. It stays RED and as the charge builds turns GREEN and then goes out when full. I.e. It never goes through AMBER which all my previous batteries have. Is this normal?
