Well I'm back on the forums everyone!
Hope you all have been doing well. I am still loving my Apollo Vtube. I have had a few strange things happen with it recently, but over all, I am very happy with the big guy. I have been over-dripping. I don't know if I could exactly call it "over-dripping" but I am definitely noticing
juice on the sides of my Vtube.
1. If I overdrip, it sits in the little reservoir until I tip the vtube in my hand, which allows for the juice to seep out of the little indents. This causes the juice to run down the side of my vtube and I'll get juice all over my hands.
2. If my atty dies down, then I overdrip way more often than if my atty were working perfectly. I think this is probably the case with any device, but, devices where the overdrip reservoir has the function of holes that allow the juice to be sucked back into the atty, do not allow for the experience of juice dripping down the side of the device. Again, with the vtube, the holes in the atty connection are too high to allow for sucking the overdrip back into the atty, so it will eventually seep down the side of the device unfortunately.
3. Another problem, and probably the one problem with my vtube that I am MOST DISAPPOINTED with. If I overdrip, which seems to happen 2-3 times per day, well, occasionally I will see juice coming out from around the firing button. This worries me because it means that overdrip may be finding a way into the inner sanctum of the device. If this is happening, then I don't see my vtube living past its 1st birthday. The juice (if this is truly happening) could easily short out the device.
4. I have also noticed A. a fading of the black numbers in the digital read-out when the battery has dropped below 3.4 underload. This is not a huge problem and I pretty much expect it to happen. But, B. There was ONE time, that I noticed the digital read-out faded during an overdrip. I had dripped 2 or 3 drops over what the reservoir could handle, I think (I'm not sure this is what happened, but I THINK) juice had seeped into the inner sanctum of my vtube, and the digital readout may have been temporarily compromised. This seriously scares me because it means that juice CAN and IS able to seep into the into my device. Not cool. I am trying my best to be very careful about overdrip. I thought I was doing everything right. When I am at 3.7 I only drip 1 drop at the first sign of dry burn. (every 3 to 4 long pulls) When I am at 4.8 to 6 volts I usually do 2 drops and immediately take my puffs so as to not allow the juice any time to seep through the atty and into my vtube. I think everyone should be careful with overdrip with the vtube because it does have that digi read-out and I don't think any of us want to find our LCD screens broken after a careless overdrip.
I must say, I have accidently dropped my vtube many, many times now, and nothing has happened to the functionality thus far. I do not recommend you be careless when it comes to dropping your vtube. Thats all I've got thus far. Vape it up!
