Hey Andrew, any chance I could trade in my chrome lavatube for a new one even though I bought it elsewhere? I ordered it about 3 weeks ago just before I started reading this thread... Not sure if you're able to return them yourself or not?

Sorry but that just wouldn't be fair to my other customers, plus if word got out I did this I'd have to hire someone just to answer the flood of emails I would get. sorry

 

[Karn]

Is it Monday yet?

 

[cmdryker]

Be getting in gun metal vmaxs, next week, also ego 900 mah passthru's be here Monday or Tuesday. As for being Monday yet, that was 4 days ago.

 

[Karn]

That was so long ago, I don't remember (i so want a V2 lol)

My chrome v2.0 replacement unit arrived in my mailbox today.

And... (wait for it...) It's a dud. Defective power switch.

When I drop a high-drain 18650 into the tube---positive end first, of course---and start to thread the bottom cap, as soon as the spring touches the base of the battery, the LED display lights up three times, letting me know that the unit "sees" the power source. Once the cap is threaded and snug, however, the 5-click power button turn-on sequence does nothing. Zero. Nada.

I have two 1.5t Vtubes, so I know how to turn on one of these Young-June devices. And it ain't rocket science---I tried everything---soft clicks, hard clicks, fast clicks, slow clicks, 6 clicks, 27 clicks. I tried it with the bottom cap both threaded and not threaded (just touching the base, so that LED display does its three-flash confirmation). Useless. The unit does not turn on. Dead as a doornail. batteries are fully charged and work perfectly in my other Vtubes.

Is something different about the v2.0 start-up sequence? Am I missing something? Do I have to dance a jig while I'm pressing the power button? No instructions were included in the package, and I assumed that none were needed. Just to be thorough, I tried everything I could think of---more clicks, holding down both the "+" and "-" buttons, etc.

Unless my brain has checked out into La-La-Land in some way I'm too crazed to realize, this isn't "user error." Just my bad luck to have been the one guy to get a bum unit. Like winning the lottery in reverse. LOL.

It'll be worth the wait. I love this thing! The display seems to be a little easier to read and the sturdiness feels great in the hand. The on/off function is a draw back due to the speed you have to hit the power button, but no biggie. Right I'm using a 2.0 smok tank carto at 4.2v with a 50/50 banana milkshake blend and it's a monster. Works great with a stardust too. Now I just need to pick up a couple cgr18650ch's and I'll be good to go.

You have to click super fast. I can't do it with my fat thumb, I use my index finger. Also don't count just press. As Andrew mentioned, you have about 1-2 seconds to get them all in. It does get easier in time, I don't know if I getting better or the button is loosening up.

I sell the panys cgr18650ch on my battery site.

Andrew will replace it... with the one that was going to go to Karn.

Sorry, Karn, none left for you.

got the press it super fast like 5 to 6 clicks less then a 1 to 2 seconds.

You have mail. I hope I did it right, I didn't have the option of Purchased goods.

You did it correct ,,want color case you want, give a free case when ever buy more then 1 battery,,,forgot to add info to site do it now,,,, clear, green, orange or blue??

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cmdryker]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No worries, think he must got it to work, surely I would have gotten an email about it, why do people post here before contacting the vendor, makes no sense to me.

 

[billherbst]

Thanks, Andrew and AfterFX!

I'd previously tried clicking pretty fast (like 5-6 clicks in just under 2 seconds, which is normal for my v1.5t Vtubes) and also slow, just in case. After reading your responses, I got out a stop watch and timed the 5 clicks at what I thought was "fast"---5 times in 1.4 seconds. Didn't work. Then I tried again at hyper-speed---5 clicks in 0.9 seconds. Success! It worked!

I still don't think of what I was doing before as "user error," however. I mean, 5 clicks in 0.9 second is FAST. Some people don't even have the manual dexterity to do that. I can, happily, but I hope that AfterFX is right that the unit will "loosen up" a bit over time. As Andrew said to me on the phone a moment ago (he called, being the considerate vendor that he is), requiring clicks so close together is not necessarily a bad thing---there's no way the unit could ever "accidentally" get turned on.

Anyway, I'm in business (sigh). Thanks again.

P.S.: Boy, is this thing shiny or what? I understand from a post on another thread that the electroplated chrome layer is very thin, however, so i won't be carrying it around in my pocket with keys or anything. LOL.

They talking bout a differ vendor v2, there are some out there are real thin, tell by weight, lighter then vmax,,,these are heavier then vmax's, like triple chrome plated it seems.

 

[AfterFX]

Once I was able to turn it on and off within a couple of try's, I breathed a sigh of relief. For me, chipping chrome is not an issue. When out in public and people see it, I guarantee the 1st thing out of their mouth isn't "your chrome is chipping", it's, "what the hell is that?"

Just added APO military shipping, just beware we can't ship battery's to these addresses, as this violates USPS international shipping of LI-ON battery policy.

Hey Bill, not sure if anyone resolved this for you yet, but I had an almost identical experience with mine. I wound up basically pushing the button a whole bunch of times rapidly until it lit up. After the initial turn hassle getting it turned on, it was fine. I took the bat out several times to check. Not sure why these seem to be hard to turn on the first time, but I seem to recall having a similar issue with my 1.5.

HTH

You're so right. The weights (with batteries loaded) are very telling:

3.30 ounces - Vtube 1.5t (Vector VV) black
4.15 ounces - SmokTech Vmax silver
5.20 ounces - Young-June Vtube 2.0 chrome
​

The chrome v2.0 is definitely the heavyweight of the trio! This is one hefty monster.

Once I was able to turn it on and off within a couple of try's, I breathed a sigh of relief. For me, chipping chrome is not an issue. When out in public and people see it, I guarantee the 1st thing out of their mouth isn't "your chrome is chipping", it's, "what the hell is that?"

You said a mouthful there, AfterFX. LOL.


It appears that the manufacturer (whoever that is---I don't know if Young-June actually makes these or just distributes them) fixed the "power-down-zombie-low-voltage-mode" glitch as well. When powered down, mine seems to be truly off. Unlike my Vector VV v1.5t, no matter what buttons I press after power-down, toking on the carto produces nothing, and my multimeter reads zero volts at the connector.

Also, after cycling through power-down and power-up again, the voltage setting remains wherever it was set before shutdown. No more auto-reset to 3.0 volts. Cool!

Vapes great, too! I don't have a scope or anything sophisticated, but set to 6.0 volts (meaning 100% on the PWM duty cycle) my inline voltage display reads 6.1 volts unloaded, 5.9 volts loaded (with a 3.0 ohm carto). Maybe not quite ProVari perfect, but pretty darn good for minimal voltage drop! And the ego-style top connector is a nice upgrade.

All in all, quite an impressive device. Downright terrific considering the price.
