What kind of batteries do you have? If you aren't sure, post a picture. How old are the batteries, how have you been charging them? If it's via USB, well, maybe one of the first things I might do is remove the batteries and inspect them and the internal guts of the mod. If there is ANY moisture inside them, I would wipe the batteries down and also wipe down the battery contacts and whatever else is inside with rubbing alcohol, and then let it dry out THOROUGHLY. There is not a lot of risk by using rubbing alcohol to clean if the batteries are removed, since there won't be a power source. I'd probably only do that if you SEE moisture or grimy battery contacts.

How long have you had the batteries, the mod, and have you had any leaking or drops recently? I understand your situation as far as replacement may be difficult, but if you have had them a while and were vaping at a reasonably high wattage and/or they were fakes or rewraps, it MAY just be the batteries that are the problem.

It is EQUALLY possible, especially with the smok mod, that there may be something going on with the mod, though. Hard to say without something else to test them in, but I do wish you the bets of luck and I am also going to summon @Baditude to this thread, he's kind of a battery guru around here and he may be able to offer you something more helpful.

Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out.

I think I gave you bad advice do NOT clean that thing. .It's an internal battery mod, and you really do NOT want to disassemble THAT.

I think the device is done for. INternal batteries have shelf lives and if you got it used, you don't know how old it is. Get rid of it SAFELY and that means take it someplace that accepts that type of battery recycling.

OMG that pic.... Put it down... walk away. If it doesn't blow up for a while, like PLEASE take it to be recycled. OMG. WHATEVER You do don't plug it INN>>

use a hair dryer, if it's wet inside the electrical components, and hope it can be saved. Also fix your leaky tank if you can.


I had a similar problem awhile back with my Valyrian tank that leaked and my wismec rx gen3 had juice inside the mod. Luckily I pulled it apart and set it near an air vent heater to dry for a couple of days. And it's been working well ever since. I threw away that leaky Valyrian tank.
