Yeah, I think US shipping was $6-7. For a few o-rings, just throw them in an envelope and put a stamp on it, right?
I guess it's hard for them to probably figure out realistic shipping like this for small orders. I ended up ordering 30 of them since the shipping was the same for 4 or 30 o-rings, lol. Figured I would lose or damage a few of them possibly trying to get them in place.
Good thing though, I got a shipping notification and a tracking # by yesterday afternoon, just a few hours after ordering. So seems like these guys are on the ball at least. I probably won't get a chance to try them for a bit since I'm doing some work travel starting this weekend, but I'll make sure to get the Drone out and fire it up when I get back.
Honestly, I lost interest in it when I saw the 510 and heard of some folks having internal leaking. Mine has been in the box since the day I got it. I verified it fired an atty and packed it away. Actually excited to get it out and give it a try now that this will hopefully resolve the leaking. Mine is the all black one, so I'll have to keep a close eye on the upper battery area or take the top off after a few days to check for leaking.
This 'fix' has at least gotten me interested in the mod again. I've still been using my Pulse as my primary device (same one for over a year). I'll give the Drone a shot at home, but will probably keep carrying the Pulse out of the house since it's so darn durable.
Thanks for all the help with this folks.

Right. I usually check shipping out for any vendor before getting excited. Saves me time anyhow, as I'd be measuring up most atty's and RDAs for spares. On the clone RDA front, I find SXK has notoriously poor oringsAnd that's supposed to be cheap?
Seriously. Or have the regular USPS cheapest ground option available. That usually gets to my door in 7 days from the U.S. I'm in no rush and don't need a tracking number.
So far, I've just been going through all the Manufacturing settings LV now fails to do on it, as it came with all Evolv defaults.
@score69, first sign of leaking for me was a wet hand. Then looked closely to then see liquid seeping out from under the battery door, investigated further and after removing batteries and wiping them down and the inside of the battery compartment. Then I noticed that liquid was seeping round the battery contact near the front of the mod.
So it was one of those things that you didn't find out about until it was too late.

Thanks for the link!
Anyone get these yet? Are they the right ones?
My drone leaks too. But so far no other problems with it.
Hello @DeloresRose, I'm the individual to blame for working out the finer points of the o ring needed. @Black wings is to blame for the initial idea.
With an o ring like you have quoted, I've been running my Drone for weeks without any leaks inside the mod whatsoever.
They're a little tricky to get over the centre pin in the 510 connector though as it's a tight fit, so you're best using a well lit table to install it. Don't need the mod to go flying on the floor.

Well @Mordacai thank you and @Black wings for your help. And there may be a few mods I wouldn’t care if they took a flying leap, but the drone isn’t one of them. Thanks for the heads up on that, too.
If you're frugal like me @DeloresRose, any mod getting damaged is sacrilege. Unless it's a SMOK.
They use PC manufactured by SABIC... they tested for HEAT not for corrosion from liquid on the case since ultem obs FAILED. They know about this and THIS is the reason I went with the VTX200 from vapecige, I got told this by lost vape and had been warning other vapers in Facebook, heck even told Todd that it’s made out of PC in his fb group... I thought I Had given everyone a heads up cuz we all know what acidic juice does to polycarbonate... I AM SORRY I FORGOT TO POST IT HERE.
