New Member With a Problem

[JeffT]

Hello everyone, I have been vaping for about 7 months and recently stepped up to VV. I did some research and purchased what I think is the Lambo 4.0. I'm not entirely sure becuse it doesn't have the resistance check like the 4.0, so I'm fairly certain that the site screwed me over and sent me a 2.0. It didn't come in any sort of box like the picture showed. They just wrapped it in bubble wrap and stuck it in an envelope. I loved it at first, but then it started to flake out on me.

The problem I am having is the fire button only works every once in a blue moon. I will admit that I did drop it, but it only fell about 1-2 feet. My old clearomizer also liked to leak juice out of the bottom, but I don't think any of it made it onto the PCB. I did a search and found that the wires that connect the fire button to the PCB like to come off. I have the cap/seal removed from the tube, but I can't figure out how to get the PCB out of the tube. I don't want to yank it out with pliers or try twisting it because I am afraid that I might break it. Can it somehow be pushed out of the bottom?

I would really like to get it working again because my eGo-T is awful in comparison. Unfortunately I am past the 30 day warranty so I can't ship it back and get it replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Jeff

Do you have a pic of it or a link to a pic of it. Seeing them makes it easier to know what version you have. Also, the button may have come loose when you dropped it.

It could be the button came off Center because of the massive drop.

A pic would help a lot.

Is a 1-2 foot drop really that hard on it? The drop didn't even leave a mark. Sorry for taking so long to get back. Here's a picture of my tube:

After my post I disassembled it and placed it into a bag of rice for 24 hours in an attempt to dry out any juice that may have leaked past the seal. That seems to have worked, but only time will tell if it's just a temporary fix.

I am also facing the same problem. Please update when possible

Looks like another drop will fix it
Make sure it drops on wood or a thin carpet.

Thanks for the pic. That is an L-Rider lavatube - AK a Lambo or Epic Storm. It does look like a version 4. Glad you may have found a fix. Dropping it may not dent it, but it could loosen the fire button. Anyway, if its working then it sounds ok.

Thanks for the info! I was just confused because it looked exactly the same as the 2.0 outlined in the video. How do I use the resistance check? It isn't mentioned in the owners manual.

Not familar with that particular model of lavatube but I think you push the power button six times fast, like I said though not sure. I can say drops are never good on solder joints on circuit boards.

Well after 2 days of working flawlessly my Lambo has given up the ghost. I checked the wires for the fire button and the solder joints look good. I am past the 14 day warranty so I can't return it I am looking at getting the Sigelei VV tube from Discount Vapers and it requires 2 18350 batteries. Does anyone know if the Trust Fire 1200mah 18350 protected batteries will fit? I'm worried that they might be too big since they are 1200mah and protected. If these wont fit, which batteries would you guys recommend?

Edit- Never mind. I did some digging and found that the Trust Fire batteries don't fit, so I decided to go with the AW IMR 700mah batteries that were highly recommended in the threads I read.
