Hi Eric, I haven't been around for awhile, Did you stop selling the L Rider? I don't see it anywhere on your site. I recently purchased 2- E1 Clearomizers - ReVive - v2. Yesterday I went to try one for the 1st time and-nothing. There was no combination of GoGo or L Rider and any of the adapters that I have (510 Battery to eGo, 510/eGo Battery to Go-go, and Go-go Battery to 510) that would cause it to fire. Any thoughts? I just tested both with my ohmmeter and they both read open.

More than likely the atomizer assembly isn't seated properly, the only thing that holds it in place is the clearo tube top piece. Try unscrewing the top cap, give the atomizer a wiggle while pressing down, put the top cap back on making sure to keep the top of the atomizer assy is centered in the opening. Or it could be a doa.

I still have the mini in stock.

For the open reading sounds like it's been shorted somehow? Not sure I am not an expert in that. Let it sit without a battery for a day, put in a fresh one, see what happens.

I've had just one come back for failure (but it worked when it got here) so not sure.

Eric, It's not the L Rider that isn't working, it's the E1 Clearomizer - ReVive - v2. I don't think leaving it disconnected from the battery will help but I will try JZXJs suggestion.
Eric, Are you still going to carry the L Rider?

I had to lift the center post a tad (on the battery) for it to work on a couple of my batteries.

Eric do you have any idea when your 18350 batteries will arrive? I wished I would have gotten a couple of extras when I ordered the V8.
I have mixed feelings on the V8 at this point. Right now I have it set for 4.1 volts and it is real weak. I put the supplied clearomizer (any idea the resistance on these) on the V8 and it is anemic. I put the same on my mini LT and then Ego twist and they are fine. Maybe I need to charge! Hope! The V8 is much larger than the other mentioned units and hoping battery life is much better.

I got tracking on Friday so hopefully by Wednesday :) he's pretty quick.

Let me know about this on the next order, I will ship an extra innard, the manufacturer told me (which was odd) that some of the innards do not go down far enough and they made improvements. They didn't say they'd give me any free LOL but I'll be glad to send you one of the new batches I ordered. My only suggestion is to disassemble it and put it back together see it that works.

Just a note to everybody out there that the V8 will not work with the 18350 battery. The battery must have the nipple top. Darn and I had extras of the flat tops! Thanks Eric[/QUOT

V8 Correction: It will not work with the FLAT top 18350's, must be nipple top. Sorry

are you talking about the AW?
It does fit and has a nipple top

EDIT: LOL we must have been cross posting :)
I do not see why a flat top wouldn't work? The springs are very large and long?

I don't have any flat tops to test though :(

The unit I have has the positive post recessed back in the body. The spring fits on the negative flat end. I don't think, from what I see that the V8's positive post can be pried out enough to make contact with the positive (flat top) end of the batteries that I have for my LT. But the batteries that came with the V8 work fine. I bet if I took the V8 apart I could bend the contact out enough, but I think it would be better waiting on the new batteries! The nipple tops will also work fine in my LT. Besides you have the AW batteries which are supposed to better according to the reviews! Thanks Eric

If someone is using Ego/510 adapter just adjust the central pole on it by turning with screwdriver. I had this problem too and the adapter adjustment fixed it.
