Smok tfv8 big baby light

SillyMangoX

I got this tank when I was in Gibraltar during the week, I just wanted one that was over 2mls, and the fact this one lights up sealed the deal.
It’s working perfectly for me, I’m using an eleaf istick power 80w with it, and initially the lights worked on it, however now they don’t! has anyone come across this problem before?
Also, I tried unscrewing it all to change the colour of the rings for the light but couldn’t get it to budge open at all even using pliers. Anyone have any tips? Thanks!

From the Smoktech site:

Note: The output voltage cannot lower than 1.5V, or the LED won't light up.

For example, if you have a core which is 0.1Ω, then according to the formula P= U^2/R you can get P= 1.5^2/0.1=22.5W

You don't need to worry about this when the mod is in TC mode, for the out power can automatically adjust.

Maybe thats your issue?

Hmm just looking at the screen it says it’s on 3.67v.. though I’m not great at all these things

Maybe the light burnt out, I will dig around and see what else I can find but your voltage seems correct.
