My iTaste MVP and Krazy Glue

So, the power button on my iTaste MVP 1.5 came off the other night. I searched the house and couldn't find it. I decided to cut some of the foam from the packaging it came in to make a squishy button instead of using my finger nail. After a day, the foam was too soft to serve as a replacement. A few hours ago, I took a break from cleaning the house and saw it on the floor and jumped with joy. I grabbed my super glue and placed a small drop on the back of the plastic button. WOOOOOOOO, it worked! ...well, that is until the device cut off after the 10 seconds. Due to my lack of patience, my MVP no longer fires. The glue must have dried while it was pressed down, or it spread and sealed it to where contact could no longer be made. I grabbed tweezers and removed what I glued-- and then some. The metal button underneath the plastic button was also removed. I tried scraping it off and fiddling around with it for another few minutes. Flustered, I gave up quickly. VAMO! Just like that, I am without a device.

I finally had an excuse to "look" for a new device. I went down to a local vape shop and left with a VAMO V3 kit and some juice. I am really enjoying it. It was pure torture waiting for the batteries to charge because I lost two ego kits I used as back ups a while ago. It was either order off one of my regular online vendors (pay less, wait for shipping, and probably buy cigarettes), or bite the bullet for instant gratification. I guess I did save money and my health by not buying cigarettes (and not smelling like an ash tray...I forgot how nasty the smell of stale smoke is).

I put the MVP on eBay...it still charges electronics, still powers on, and still fully charges. I just can't shut it off. I no longer will try to fix my electronics with super glue.

I don't know how many people have learned this lesson the hard way. Sorry to hear about your ordeal.
There is a saying that goes around these forums to combat just a situation. This may not be word for word, but it goes something like this.......Back up your back ups with back ups.

You can hope for the best, but always prepair for the worse.

Welcome, and good luck.
 
Yea, it was something to laugh about. He did give me a discount, which I appreciate immensely. I know the mark up is high (retail or not), but a small starting business doing that is awesome. I can't leave that place (which is small) without talking to him for 30 mins or so. Besides, who doesn't like getting new gadgets?!?!

I am enjoying the VAMO. I always get bored with things pretty quickly, so I'm always picking up things here and there. This has turned into a hobby! I was warned of this beforehand, too. lol
