darn if i know the mod was on charge took it off was filling my RTA up with juice all hell broke loose it was still in sleep mode so yes something shorted all I know for sure I had one board fail before starting to play with SS and sp3 update since then this is my 5 th and 2 out of 4 mods have been the ones given me a headache I was running a .14 ss 120 pre heat temperature Domino 510 degrees Fahrenheit now I am using .23 kanthal 3.42 volts 50 watts 14 amps so I do not destroy another board for the first time the whole mod is getting sent to evolv see what they find I am beginning to think 35 amps is to much draw even though itâs rated for 50

Appreciate you getting back with us on this. And I also forgot to say âsorry for your lossâ in my last post. (meant to edit that in, but got sidetracked)
It definitely strikes me as an odd failure. Iâll be curious to see what develops. Please do let us know what Evolv has to say on things (if they comment).

Well Evolvl gave me a real fast turn around under a week but I donât know if itâs my perfectionism or what .one mod can not even be used the way it came back. Now in all fairness the mods where disassembled when they were shipped back i did cut the wires on the failed board so one look would show how they go on . I do not wight so good so I attended this link anybody wishing to look at it and give feedback I appreciate it https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=347808752223018&id=115251002145462
Unfortunately, I canât view the video as I donât have a FB account, but I did see your comment below it.
You should probably give them a call to see what can be worked out.
I wouldnât recommend sending a box of parts to them though. They simply manufacture the pcb. Other companies manufacture the mods (that contain the pcb), so you canât really expect them to have (or stock parts) for all the different vendors and variations.
With that said though, and if I read you right, Iâm kind of âa similar mindâ as you in that, if I received a bunch of misc. crap from a customer, the first thing Iâd do is go find a Ziploc bag (or whatever was warranted within reason) to toss it all in. Then label the same bag of shit with the work order number. But thatâs just me.
Iâve worked with places before that tell folks (either up front, or in the fine print) that anything extra thatâs brought in, is not a liability of the company.
If not stated, itâs always a good idea to ask first âwhatâs needed?â when shipping something back to the service center.
I wish you luck though! Hopefully they are able to help out with that aspect of your situation!
Very glad to hear about the quick turn around though! =)

Well the spare parts not too concerned over at all .the parts left out diffrent story after both mods giving me problems all this time never had a atty screwed into them for testing far as a phone call been asking for one since July here is a pic you can see.
