Man, I just found you, and I've been vapong for over a decade. Definitely subbed. I still have 10 year old mods that work perfectly and are beat to hell. They used screws and are made of metal. All the mods now use press fit 510 connectors, cheap plastic, and zinc. My hellvape hell 200 mod has fallen apart twice in 2 months (they replaced it once amazingly). Planned obsolescence sucks.

Awesome mate, glad to hear! I’m hearing you for sure about the differences in quality, my pet hate is badly made devices that fall apart. All the flashy features in the world aren’t going to help if it fails after a couple of months. Especially crap for those people in their critical phase of switching from smoking to vaping I reckon, I’d hate to think people gave up because they couldn’t find a reliable mod. Also I do remember the days where you’d normally only be upgrading because you got bored with your current mod. Hence this channel I suppose, I found it’s pretty difficult to find information on how well something is made. Much appreciate the comments and sub, cheers!

@VMG Testing I didn't think about it that way. Back when I quit smoking; part of the allure was saving money. Having to deal with mods that fall apart definitely could have curtailed me quitting. Also, you are totally correct. I used to replace mods when I was bored with them, or they were so beat up I didn't want to look at them. I have one mod that was dropped so many times the corner folded, so the magnetic door is a pain to get on or off. Even so, it still works just fine. All the mods I've bought in the last year sans one have broken for no discernable reason. Thanks again!

Awesome video. I got mine back in early 2021. Over time have had a few leaks and bottles pop there filler caps dumping loads of e-juice all over the mod. Still works fine, However the braid and backing soaked a lot of it up. Despite wiping with tissue, Everything looked fine until I accidentally scraped a finger nail across the braid yesterday and it left a light brown coloured scrape mark and had light brown gunk under my finger nail. So I went looking for a video to take it apart and give the braid part a good clean as it's hard to clean. Despite using a soft tooth brush and washing up liquid to clean the braid it hard to give it a good rinse with water. And not get water or cleaning solution over the buttons and USB port. I have the same exact colour mod as in the video. That is my only gripe about the mod is keeping the braid clean as it tends to hold on to stuff that should be easy to just wipe off. Now I know it can be taken apart with little to no damage and be cleaned thanks for making the video.

@@InvisibleYetVisible The tank they provided is leaking? I never used the I tank provided. I used the mod to power the likes of the Kylin M Pro and the Hellvape Dead Rabbit M RTA. The leaks where from me learning to wick mesh. Not the fault of the mod. I suggest getting some plumbers teflon tap and wrapping the threads once with of the tank . They tape they use to stop leaking when screwing two pipes together. And then screwing it back together if its not leaking through the mouth piece or air intake slots. IF its that then its either ill fitting coils or wicking in the coils. Otherwise return it. Or get a different tank. I found the mod its self awesome. My one started to play up about a month ago. It still works but intermittently and banging it on the side while its turned off turns it back on again. Something has either come loose inside or got caught between the contacts of the button. It lasted me well over a year and took some abuse. All of the edges have worn away from been pocketed frequently and taken out. my only gripe was the fabric it picked and hung on top the oils and sweat from your palm. And you need to use something like a tooth brush to clean it with soap foam rather than a damp cloth to wipe it clean. I miss the size and set up of it I even got a water proof vinyl foam backed tile to replace the fabric weave just never got the time to cut it to shape and replace the fabric on the mod. Use your old tank on if you have to . When I have spare few hours I will take it apart again and see if the issue is dirt or component failure and then put the waterproof tile on it if it works.

Cheers! First check the gold balance pin under the battery door near the hinge - the pin should be proud of the surface and spring back easily if you push it in. Both the pin and the corresponding pad on the door need to be clean, give ‘em a wipe off with isopropyl alcohol if you have it. Next thing would be to check the wire inside the mod that connects from the back of that pin to the mod board - you’d have to do a dismantle on the device to access it. You’re just looking for the wire to be well attached at both ends and not damaged. Ideally if you have a multimeter, do a continuity check from the pin to right where the wire attaches at the board. If everything checks out fine with the pin and wire it might be a faulty board unfortunately. Oh I should also mention - I know you said it says “balance wire fault” but it’s probably worth making sure both batteries are fairly close together in charge level just in case one is bad and triggering that error. It shouldn’t though even if they were out of balance. Check with a multimeter or charge both to full in an external charger.

@@vmgtesting8014 i normally rub it with cotton cloth with some pressure but there is no 100% cleaning it. At first i was very impressed by that material and how it feels in hand, i even brought the target 80 with the same material on outside. It took me some time to realise I f'd up 😂 But I did like the shape, it's very comfortable on the hand. That centred 510 is good as it gives some space between glass of rta and the table when we tip over the mod on table. That chipset/frimware is good on battery life compared to sth like my drag 3. (I still prefer drag 3 most of the time though it hits better 😄) I even thought of dissembling it and put a 3m vinyl wrap on that material to avoid liquid absorption

In the case of the L200 and almost all dual cell mods, no. The batteries are in series, basically a loop, so both batteries absolutely must flow the same current to power the device. They can’t provide power separately. The only mod that I can think of which can do something like that is the Freemax Maxus 200W, it specifically had the function where it can run off just a single battery. Either way, you definitely want to use a good matched pair of cells with any dual mod! If one is dead while the other is still at 70-80%, they need replacing for sure.

The new generation of Geekvape hasn’t been great. I like the design of Freemax mods - the original Maxus 100 and 200 were tanks, well made. I have some of their latest mods to check out soon. Their smaller devices like the pods and DL sticks seems to have quality control / reliability issues though. Innokin back in the day was excellent but I haven’t looked at any of their more recent models. Smoant was quite good too but again we’re talking models from some years ago.

@@SadalDay I agree with that mate, and I really appreciate the encouragement to keep doing the vids! Yeah I mean that’s basically the reason why I want to do them - it’s next to impossible to get any deeper information about how these devices are made or perform. I couldn’t care less about which brand I’m looking at or trying to shill anything, if it’s crap (IMO) I’ll say so and if it’s awesome I’ll give it credit. It’s all right there to see in the dismantle and testing anyhow. If a company doesn’t like that, then they don’t have to send me their products :D Definitely I’ll be scratching my head too when there’s design or build mistakes that could be easily avoided, there’s a few reasons I reckon though which probably vary from company to company. I guess first is that the vape hardware industry as a whole is stupidly fast paced for model turnover - like one model will be obsolete just months after release. I don’t know of other product categories like this. Constant pressure on the companies to design and manufacture new models to keep their sales up. I think this leads to rushed design and a distinct lack of testing - they just don’t have time. It’ll keep happening as long as there’s mad competition and consumers keep buying up every new model that comes along unfortunately. Personally I’d LOVE to see (and own) a mod that is built solely to last as long as possible - super solid and reliable. There’s none that are built like that on the market afaik. Of course that’s the next point and probs obvious - it’s not really in their best interest to make a device that’ll last or performs perfectly, then you won’t be buying the next shiny new thing. Then there’s price point - I mean we’re demanding a hell of a lot from these devices considering they’re equipped with custom boards (for each model), sometimes powerful microcontrollers, LCD screens, high current charge circuits, super high current voltage converters and the ability to measure 0.01ohm accurately (!!), all in a box that gets exposed to the elements, liquid, dropped, pocketed, beaten around. And for what, like $50 a piece? Damn. If I’d have to guess I’d say it’s mainly the first and third reasons (time to design and test, price) rather than a malicious intentional lack of reliability though. I still do see very nice touches in construction that makes mods last longer hidden inside that the buyer will never see, and which costs them money to do. I REALLY like seeing that. Looking forward to doing more vids, and I’m trying to change up things to get more time to do them! Thanks again mate.

Including dual 18650. While we’re on the subject I’ll just mention a few “good practice” points regarding charging (inc. external chargers and anything else with a lithium battery) - it’s best to charge only when you’re awake and near the device, use a good quality USB adaptor (those cheap ones really are crap), don’t attempt to charge the mod / device if it has liquid or impact damage, or if it has been playing up. Also if possible place the device on a non flammable surface like somewhere tiled. Cheers
