International Vaporists,
I hope everyone is having a great week. We wanted to let you know that we spent our weekend doing final testing on the international algorithms. We will be sending out test units to our international distributors...
Here is quick update from our engineering team. Since our last update, we have been able to go through 2 additional revisions to eliminate the overheating issue. Our latest firmware update was running smoothly across the variable voltage/frequencies but in one instance we caught it overheating...
Well ... My wife smelt burning and then starting hearing arcing inside ... Support ticket raised
It tripped our fusebox the first time she turned it on ... So I suspect it may have something floating around inside causing the short.
My unit is performing correctly ... And very well !
And not touching the PCB ...Our 2 units functioning really well usually set at 12

Yes ... Both had the same problem though on mine one tab had a bend that meant it contacted the PCB
My wife's tabs were both flat and almost touching. I cannot believe that this could ever be certified ... No point having a switch with both tabs exposed and able to contact each other...

My unit went from green to red after it heated up possibly due to heat expansion and my switch stopped working. My impression is that a degree of spring in the contacts being forced together is affected by heat.
Explaining why my unit works for a few minutes before the red and overheating.

Seriously tested ... Functioning correctly ... Not sure that I am ... Wow very vaped
In answer to why this fixed my problems ... Consider the effect of shorting ... It bypasses all thermostat control. The live terminals were in contact with the PCB.
Anyway ... All my problems are fixed
Not necessary ...
The connectors are shorting with each other and the PCB due to a lack of clearance.
I easily prised the switch out and using insulation tape to insulate the 240V connectors which were shorting and now my Evo is fixed ...
