You dont need to pair manually. As soon as you push power on button on remote. It automatically sync upto 8 units. Cleaning part is good. Use CRC on chains for better performance. And clean units and take all powder out after every event
Thanks @Brandon! I'm glad that this was able to help you!! It helped me understand how the unit works, diagnose the issue, and fix it! Let me know if you run into any issues and hopefully I can try to help out via another video. Cheers!!
Bought 4 off eBay. One shoots about half as high as the others. One of them quit during the first Show and now shows a fault code E4. The eBay seller and Vevor are doing their best to give me the run around…..they offered me a 15% refund, then 25% and now 35%. I asked them to simply replace the units and they keep pushing it off. Getting ready to open an eBay claim.
Dang that's unfortunate!! Yeah the I've heard some units have had some trouble. I hope you get that claim or the units work for you again! I clean out my units after my events every time to be sure that they don't have any remaining powder sitting in the unit. Cheers!
Great video! I know I'm late to the party but do you still use these? If so how are they performing as of now and where can I get some? Please help and Thank you for your time
Thanks, this tutorial helped greatly... do you also use a DMX controller with these and do you know the function codes? Vevor does not come with clear instructions...
No Problem! Glad it helped. And I do not have it hooked up to a DMX controller still working on that. I really want to get everything wireless DMX. but this works for me for now. I'll try to create a video on how to connect to a DMX Controller next. Cheers!
@@anniemorris1745 hi! So just 2 dmx channels? I guess you have to turn the channel 1 all up to heat, and then when they are ready, you turn up the channel 2 depending on the height? Sorry, i just bought them, but they come without the remote
Yes, 1 at full for heat and 2 to control the set off and height. We did end up returning ours. After 2 weekends of shows, only 1 out of 4 was working properly. The others would not heat up (like a lot of complaints in these comments)
Hi Main Event DJ! Thanks for reaching out! Yeah, the wheel can get VERY stuck if the powder is left in the unit. On my first time when it got stuck it took a LOT of muscle strength to loosen it up. *Wiggle it back and for with an Allen Wrench inside one of the hole spokes, and flip it upside down to get some of the powder out. Once you get some of the powder out it'll become a little easier to rotate the gears and get the rest of the powder out. ( I briefly highlight what you can do to fix it around 6:08 ) Hope that helps! And feel free to reach out to me if you have any trouble (678) 350-3910. Cheers!
Dang, I'm reading up on that. I've heard a lot of people's heating units with the VEVOR Cold Sparklers have had some issues. I'm going to create another video if/when a heating unit starts to malfunction.
Sorry for the late reply matt! You can connect all the machines without DMX cable might have to pair all the units to the same remote. I’ll have to look into that! I just trust the DMX cable to communicate to the other units. There’s also wireless DMX Options as well. I think Chauvet and AmericanDJ make some DMX plugs for wireless options.
Hey Noe, if there's any remaining powder in the unit try to get it out. But It might be an issue with the Heating Unit that I've seen on many VEVOR Cold Sparklers. If/when my heating units go down, I'll try to make a video to help fix and troubleshoot the issue.
Hi there, I just got a red light on my second vevor machine labeled “fault” the instruction Manual doesn’t say anything on how to fix it. Do you have any suggestions?
Hey Rajan! Sorry for the late reply, my wife and I found out we’re having our first kid and I’ve been falling behind on replying to comments. I think I’ve seen a fault code as well for two reasons. At one of my events, the cold sparklers were close to getting a little moisture and I think it did give me a F1 error code. I think it was precautionary and cooled down automatically. Another time I let the unit run a long time (running all the way thru a bag of powder) and it gave me an error code. My conclusion was that sometimes the units might be cautious of moisture (electricity and water - not a good mix) or running too hot (overheating - not a good mix). I just learn from my experience, and try to make sure these units perform (monitor for moisture and overheating) and alway always always CLEAN the unit by running all the powder out of the units. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Hey man I commented on your other cold spark video but one of my cold sparks won’t turn the led screen on so it won’t heat or work and I really need help. If there’s any way you could help me out I’d be so grateful
Hey Cole! Thanks for commenting on my other video! Sorry for the late response! I haven’t had the LED screen not turn on. Is a light coming on when you flip the bottom switch?? I’m wondering if the outlet you plugged into is producing enough power for the unit. My unit is 500Watt so you could probably check that. But Sorry I haven’t come across that issue yet! Lemme know if you get it figured out!!
Sorry for the late reply. Just found out that we’re having our first kid on the way and lost track of comment replies. Hmmmm. I haven’t had that problem yet and I’m not sure about the fuse. I would check the voltage that you have running to it and also the fuse that you replace it with. Welcome to give me a call if you’d like as well. I don’t know much about electrical fuses/voltage etc but I’ll do my best to help.
Hey StingerTV, sorry for the late reply. Just found out we’re having our first kid and lost track of replying to comments.. I’m not sure, I’m following about the foam pads from the three fans. I had protective foam coverings when the units were delivered but I removed these when using the units. I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to.. Sorry if I’m misunderstanding you.
@@stingertv9759 ahhh got it!! Yeah those are good for acting as a filter so nothing unintentionally goes inside the unit, keeps it dry, etc. Granted they are not absolutely necessary but it does help prevent anything outside come inside.
Hey 3Dsoundz, the Host Unit should be set to “LN-H” (Host) and then the rest of the units should be set to “L- -H” (Slave). Once you connect the DMX cables OUT from the Host and IN to the slaved units (continue however many units you have), then they should all mirror the first unit or Host. Hopefully that helps! Lemme know if ya need more help! Cheers!
@@timbrownproductions11 thank you so much for the reply. A couple of days ago Vevor sent me a video made by the manufacturer which explains the same thing but obviously in Chinese language. Wish they explained these steps in their manual. 👍👍
Good question. I haven’t had that problem yet. I’m guessing that you’ve attempted using the Button A to heat up. I heard that sometimes the heating unit needs to be replaced. If that happens to my unit then I’ll make a video to try and help.
Hello, I am from Chile, and I bought 2 machines, after 2 presentations, both failed, they did not reach operating temperature again, fortunately I was able to return them and they reimbursed me, in general, it seems that they are very delicate machines that require maintenance constants. Greetings Victor.
Thanks Victor! For the feedback. Yeah, They do require maintenance if you don’t clear the powder out each time. Settled powder restricts the flow of any cold sparkler unit. (Kinda like a clogged blood valve or artery)
@@timbrownproductions11 Dear, I have another question for you. Can I leave these machines on as stand-by or standby mode? Or do I have to turn them on minutes before using them? Cheers
@@victorbarraulloa1043 For filling up the units it’s “recommended” to have the units turned off and cooled down. But if you use up the powder in the units, you could press the “A button” to let it cool down a bit while you’re reloading the units, then press A again to get it reheated to the same temp. I wouldn’t recommend loading it while the unit is on and heating but that’s my preference. I guess once your more comfortable with the unit you can use it however you’d like. Hope that helps! 🍻 Cheers!
You dont need to pair manually. As soon as you push power on button on remote. It automatically sync upto 8 units. Cleaning part is good. Use CRC on chains for better performance. And clean units and take all powder out after every event

Do you know how can we reduce the 500 ready temp to 470? I changed heating coil and since that it is smoking while heating mode
Best fucking vídeo to explain!!!
Thanks man! I hoped it helped! For me, I think it helps to understand how the unit runs and creating the sparks to help diagnose the problem.
Very helpful video thankyou
Great video! I know I'm late to the party but do you still use these? If so how are they performing as of now and where can I get some? Please help and Thank you for your time
Hey DJ! Yeah I still use these! Weddings and Events are always asking for these and they're a great upsell option. Cheers!

Hey @djnutty which Wattage units did you have again??
@@timbrownproductions11 550W
Can you use the all the machine without DMX cable connect each other and just control with same remote
Caz I planing to buy 4machine. And I don’t like connect XLR cable each others. Just connect power cable.

Hello, how long are the power cables?
It comes with 3ft cables. I upgraded the length of my cables by buying some on Amazon. They have lengths anywhere from 3-100ft on Amazon
Gracias 🙂 🙏
Por Supuesto! No problemo! Me alegro de que haya ayudado!
