I purchased a NEW Saber Touch 3.7v/6v "Steampunk", from the discount section of Vapor Moon. I recieved it Friday and have yet to get it to work as advertised. Yes I have an email into Vapor Moon, sent it Firday evening, yet to hear back, undertsnadable because of the weekend.
The following is an outline of the things I have done to get this unit to work.
HARDWARE:
batteries I have tried ( please note all fully charged and tested to be good):
4- different brand NEW AW IMR 18650 2000mah ---yes the real ones
6- different NEW 18650 Trustfire Flames 3000mah
4 -Vapage 18650 batteries pretty new charged 3-4 times.
2-Ultrafire NEW 18650 3000mah
2-Ultrafire 18650 2400mah-charged once
I also tried adding battery spacers thinking maybe the batteries are not making good contact-NO GO
I did make sure center pin is making contact on all attys and cartos also put meter in between PV and attys and cartos:
Attomizers:
Joye 510 LR
Joye 306 LR
Madvapes 306 lr
Joye 510 SR
Cartomizers:
Boge 2.o
Smoktech Resurectors
Joye 510 SR
I do have a Meter and tested all the above setups, both on the Saber and another PV, they all work on the NON-Saber PV!!
Tried metal drip tips both Stainless and aluminum!
The following NON hardware things I tried, PLEASE NOTE, I keep my hands very nice and moisturized almost to the point of being clammy, I HATE dry skin!!!!!!! I do NOT have thick or callused hands in ANY way, I am a middle aged woman with very soft and moisturized hands.
Note the following is while touching BOTH end caps and the sensor!!
1. I thought maybe I had to much lotion on my hands, washed and dried them-NO GO Tried more lotion will work until the lotion disipates, now try hanging on to a metal pv with your hands slathered in lotion....yeah doesn't work!
2. I have tried both firing with index finger and thumb- NO GO
3. LICKED-and VERY WET finger/thumb works---YUCK! Once spit dries out NO GO
4. Metal clip from ink pen, when touched to top cap and sensor will fire.
5. Put facial moisturizer on my thumb, works until the moisturizer disipates into the skin.
6. Took apart the bottom end cap and cleaned it out to make better contact NO GO.
7. Cleaned sensor contact with a q-tip ever so slighty moistened with alcohol.-NO GO
The ONLY 2 ways my brand new Saber will work is to use a metal piece touching both the top cap and sensor or
LICKING your freakin thumb/finger every vape, this is absoloutly unacceptable to me for an expensive item!!! Having nicely moisturized hands is not enough to fire this pv, it in fact has to be WET!!
The Vapor Moon website states "MOISTEN" as in moisturized NOT LICK as in WET!!!!
I am almost 2 months off of analogs, and trying to get this pv (which I was very excited about) to work has almost pushed me to go back to analogs, I am so stressed out about the money wasted! I now have to explain to my husband, when he comes home from work tomorrow nite, about the money wasted and see if he can install a button as it will NOT work as is.
PLEASE NOTE!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!For those considering a Saber Touch, please read the fine print about the return policy! You will loose 30% of the purchase price plus you will loose the money to ship it back..... either way you loose if you get a faulty device!
