These are the voyages of the PV builder Notcig. It's 5 yr. mission, to seek out new vapers. To introduce them to Variable Voltage. To boldly give more vaping time than any PV builder has done before.

OK... now you've done it... your going to make me reveal my secret and tell everyone I am a closet TREKKIE (strangely enough I am watching star trek right now)!! That one is really cool. I still like the "The most interesting man in the world" slogan more but that one is pretty cool!

That is AWESOME moorea !!!!

It was just for you Wharf!

You got juice in it , it needs an alcohol bath ( 90% iso alcohol , remove batts soak for 4-5 hours , swish every hour , BLOW dry and let sit for 4 hours )

Drats, not enough 90% on hand, ample 70% though (ever get the feeling the universe is conspiring against you haha) have cleaned her a handful of times, not via soak but with a couple caps of 90% via the top and a little swishing.. then sit for a couple hours for the alcohol to evaporate completely. I have to make 90% isopropyl run... and get my meter back from the friend I loaned it to and make all three sets of batteries are good... I just received the 901 top cap I ordered very recently, arrived this week actually, after finally getting a green 901 drip shield, that kinda matches the green Buzz tube, 3-4 weeks ago, tight budget restraints as many others can relate too in the current economy heh!! Figured the new DS and 901 cap (was using adapter prior to ordering the 901 cap), would cut down on the juice seepage, she got doused pretty good from a couple failed fluxomizer clearos, and 510 attys always seem to leak even when ya get the Blue Foam plug pretty much perfect.

After switching out caps, all was fine it seemed, after a day or so, thought button was failing, or juiced up..quick peek revealed the wire was nearly broken at the terminal (let me tell ya, getting that little guy open enough to redo is a major pain!!! not to mention having nothing to stabilize/hold and huge harbor freight iron!!!) stressed I assume from the tension from taking the cap off and back on in prior cleaning sessions, think my crude re connection is still good..not going to mess with till after a good soak cleaning, if it turns out that is broke again, will just have to wait a few weeks and send in for a pcb replacement.

Thought she was good to go after a non-soak cleaning, noticed she was firing on her own, no atty attached..cleaned again now just a dim red flash when button depressed on freshly charged batts...though since not soak cleaned may be juice residue..gonna snag some 90% ISO later today and cross my fingers :)

Younger son is visiting 1st week of August, so expect whats left of this Month's and all of August's discretionary income will go into celebrating that, only get to see em once a year on average, twice or thrice very rarely, so go as all out when one of both lads visit as the budget allows...not PV less though, have a tenergy dc-dc vv regulator board, so at home can match the Buzz, but she has spoiled me and my 3.7 box mod, when out and about just does not quite cut it.. with the Buzz found the range tween 4.2-5.1v gets me the best vape experience with the attys, fluxos, etc..have on hand. Don't know what ya got till its gone lalalalalala doo wop doo wop lol.

But think a PCB replacement is on the horizon..the terminal fix temp at best, wire shorter, connection pretty much solder only, could not get a good crimp once opening the little terminal to get the wire sorta in there "properly".

What is the turn around time, and is return shipping included??

Thanks for the proper cleaning instructions, heading to Walgreens shortly after hitting send :)

Shipping is not included , lets hope the cleaning works for you ??

So far no, gonna let soak overnight..see what happens, if not will have to send her in when can swing it...tough call as approx 45.00 bucks all said and done to get this Old Buzz back up and firing is nearly 1/3the way to a Buzz Pro...if re-acclimation to 3.7v when out and about occurs prob will wait till can pop on the Pro Version..seems the most cost effective route.

Crossing me grubby fingers the overnight soak works... thanks again for the cleaning advice, my small amount and swish and shake method just might of gotten juice into the button mechanism, would explain why she went into constant fire mode all by herself.
