I'm honestly surprised--I've been using my V1 & nothing else since the first of June. Two nights ago the blue light suddenly stopped lighting--aw no! I removed the atomizer & battery, turned it upside down on a papertowel to drain overnight & hoped for the best.
Got up yesterday morning (wow, that papertowel had a big juice spot) & tried it again. Brief flash of blue light, nothing.
Got out one of my old penstyle batteries to resume puffing--ITS JUST NOT THE SAME, I'VE BEEN STICK-SPOILED.
I figured it was still under warranty, got online to Janty to email them & I dunno, I thought "I've used the hell outta this thing for 2 months solid, I feel kinda guilty asking for a replacement at this stage" so I went ahead and ordered a V2 instead.
So today when I got home from work, curiosity got the best of me--I peeled off the button backing & wiped off the little spot there, closed it back up--AND ITS BEEN WORKING ALL NIGHT NONSTOP!
This little thing is a real workhorse!
PS. One more thing--I've been using/recharging the SAME battery for 2 months straight. It only recently began to stop holding a charge. (But it still works good when plugged into the computer.) Gosh I think that's great, 2 months use outta one battery!
