Apollo V-tube..waste

[mtw4shore]

Hope this helps some nubies trying to decide what to buy. Whatever you get do not get it from Apollo. I bought a V-tube mini in November, enticed by their 30% off offer, and liking all of the possibilities with that type of model (Lavatube type). The only one available was the mini, in black or red. I have had one problem after another with it. The main cause of problems have been caused by the fact that the top is not sealed, by pressed into place. I was dripping, and occasionally an extra drop would get in, flooding it. It would leak, and get in through the top, making my button sticky, and eventually messing up the electronics. It is on its way back. The part that chaps me is the lack of effort to respond to my e-mails. It took them over a week to respond to one I sent saying my V-tube is not working.
I had to buy a 1100 mAh eGo from ecig.com and couldn't be happier! Start there to find what you like, before going gung-ho buying stuff you might not like or need.

Most PV's when flooded, one drop or two on a continuous basis over a period of time, will cause the problems you are presenting.

Even your eGo will suffer the same dilemma if you do not make sure you keep your device clean and get yourself a dripshield, another solution would be to get yourself a sealed battery adapter/ extender.

Personally, I think it was very good of Apollo to accept the return and refund of the device regardless of the damage sustained due to dripping.

Point taken. Thanks for the perspective.
