Fresh Battery’s, fully cleaned contacts left to “dry” and it will work for a few puffs then dead, it’s like the battery’s are dead or something but they’re not, any ideas??
I will keep an eye on this. I have the same problem with the VO Tech VIA 240 which uses the same chipset as the Michael.
I have a vid of it in the comments underneath the review I did for the VIA.
No, I didn’t, there’s nothing on their website about updates. There’s not even a mention they’ve ever sold the VIA. https://vo.technology
I’ve basically just written it off.
Got it send over for review and posted the shenanigans under the review so people can see it
When I plug in the usb without batteries in the mod it tells me it shorted and when I plug in the usb with batteries I get the two batteries flickering on the screen and nothing else.
The chip is an upgrade from the one in the Michael, it’s the VO240 so I don’t think the same upgrade would work on it.
It’s a zipfile too and I have a Mac.
Thanks anyway man, I will bookmark this in case my Michael goes south
I’m not too bothered since I didn’t pay for it and to be honest I’m a bit scared of the thing now, that’s why I shelved it.
I have plenty decent, working mods so I’ll just write this one off as a loss
Do you have a photo of the exploded view when you cleaned it? I could not disassemble it completely, remove 4 screws.
Perhaps the fault is in the USB port, which detects a non-existent cable connection.
Hi everyone, I also have the same charge/update problem. Did any of you use a USB cable to charge the mod/batteries? It seems everyone who used a usb cable end up with this problem at some point. I also know people that use external battery chargers and their devices are still going strong.
