Anyone disassembled a Lavatube?

[etab]

Wonder if anyone has disassembled a non working Lavatube? I've seem quite a few pics of the circuit board but keen to see the switch itself and how it makes contact. Pics would be most useful. Thanks.

Check this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/286952-what-should-i-put.html on page 2 there are pictures of the top that would be of help to anyone taking one apart

Just what I was looking for thanks very much Closer look at the switch would be useful still not seeing the actual clicky bit lol

I clicked on the link and tried to look at the pictures. The load wheel icon just goes around and around and never loads the pictures. Maybe it's my ad block plus, but that's never happened. The pictures always show.

ETA: Nope, I disabled ad block plus and still can't see them. Shame ... I really wanted to see the insides of a Lavatube.

My guess is that the wires weren't large enough to hold the current. That doesn't make sense because it's supposed to be electronic control. The switch should only be controlling a small voltage that signals the electronics to turn on the MOSFET. There had to be some short circuit current coming from somewhere due to electronic failure or the battery voltage shorted through the switch to ground. It's also strange that it works and adjusts the voltage by touching the wires together after the fact.

I'd like to see a schematic.

Yeah I'm having the same issue..try right clicking each pic link and opening in a new tab or copy the link and open it I think it's a site issue...

Pics from the 1st page of that thread I linked.

From the post on the 2nd page

Edit: HMM now they are not even showing up on this page with a direct link..well maybe they will show back up in awhile...

the actual clicky bit is in pieces. it shattered when I tried to push it in to get the rest of the board out. needs a drop or two of super glue to put it back together.
