GLV2 completely stopped working... Please help!

[Ultimist]

As I noted a few days ago in a separate thread, a bit of juice was seemingly getting into the battery compartment. Just a few drops here and there.

Well, today, my GLV2 has gone completely dead. Tried all sorts of battery/atomizer combos, and I get nothing. I can only assume that perhaps some of the liquid that was getting in finally shorted something out.

Man, I'm devastated. All I have now to vape is a Prodigy that doesn't even work half the time.

Is there something I can do to get this working again? Maybe the contacts are just wet and need to be wiped off... but I don't know how to (or whether I should) get in there and see what's up.

lawnman3 you are a life saver! I tried your tip and it worked... my GLV2 is firing again!

Now... how can I go about preventing this in the future?

I think Jay said to take some silicone and fill the small hole inside the top button assembly. It's easy to see once you open it up, just a small hole that goes from the battery compartment to where the atty connection is. If it's leaking from the top into the button and shorting out from over filling, that might be something you'll have to send it in to get serviced from Jay.

I just ordered a 510-901-510 adapter w drip shield. Apparently the adapter is sealed... fingers x'd. My batteries are wet also will also try the silicone if I could ever put the darn thing down lol!
