    My iTaste vv vw V3.0 just stopped working. It worked yesterday. After charging it, it worked this morning. And now it doesn't work. I pulled the clearomizer off and it read "NON" for ohms. I put the clearomizer on and it read "NON" for ohms. I cleaned the clearomizer. I tried to pull up the little connector button. It still reads "NON." I have no spare clearomizer. What I need is a quick-fix, as I am 20km from home and won't be home until 5:00pm.

    Short of buying cigarettes, what can I do? HELP!

    Sounds like maybe a short on the coils, happened to me just yesterday.
    When connected and you press the button to fire it does the light on the button stay on for 5 seconds when you let go? That would mean a short.

    If not, get a paper clip and under the clearo, where the bottom part has a hole, carefully put the end of the paper clip into it and see if you can pull it down a little, as that is what makes contact with your 510 connection on your device, so it it's not connecting it will show zero ohms.

    let us know if you get it going.

    This is one of my reasons for having 2 devices and 2 tanks with me at all times, if one goes then i have the other....unless they both went,,.lol..

    This was a new iClear 16 clearo too. Only 2 weeks old. I have had the worst luck with clearos and coils recently. It's really putting me off.

    I feel your pain mate, I have had new iClear 30 coils go in a day, others like last night as soon as I opened it the Threading was crunched up and was not able to do anything with it apart from throw it in the bin.

    It pisses me off too, but i tried to get into all the rebuildables but just couldn't' get on with them.
    So just stick to this way, I buy the iClear 30 heads in bulk, at one point I had around 20 of them, that way there just there and I don't worry too much.

    It's frustrating I know, it's so easy to buy a pack of cigs, light one up and then the next one you light up will be exactly the same as the last one. BUT there was or is a reason we started vaping and that was not to smoke, so these few little problems which come with vaping I don't mind really.

    Don't worry... I have the answer
    ......


    I used to have the same thing with my ego-c

    Use the sharp, pointed end of a knife and slightly and gently lift the brass connection of the battery.... it is rubber mounted, so if you do it a little bit... you will be able to add your clearo and it will work again...... your clearos have pushed the brass top of the battery too far in and no there is no connection.....

    I've tried the pushing and pulling with a paperclip. Good news is that the lights still work on my battery. Bad news is that I am still getting 0 ohms. I'll change the head when I get home and see if that works. I'll also try the iClear 30 tank off my 134. If all that doesn't work, then I guess I have to buy another mod.

    I had an MVP for sale, but I would buy the 134 if I were you.

    A huge mod like that would suit a big guy like you.

    Anything smaller would make you look effeminate IMO

    I agree, and if I had the money I would! Now . . . if you were to accept payments . . .

    Coils were the problem. When I swapped out the head, everything was fine. My travelling toolkit now contains a spare clearo (with head), a spare head, USB mini cable (for charging), and 15 ml of juice. This will not happen again.

    I doubt there will be pictures. It was just a case of replacing the head in the tank. The coil had failed and so no heat - no vape. :grin: Happens with any kind of tank eventually whether a prebuilt coil or rebuildable one.
