Quick review of the e-LVT mod

Thanks for this - it helps! Are you saying that it can quite easily be made water resistant-ish or just not even think about xp1? Full of water? Not good the way it has been sold over most of the intertubes...

You can make anything waterproof by dropping it in a ziplock bag You can also make anything waterproof by using silicone caulk, provided you don't intend to open it ever again. In the case of the e-LVT, you need to access the battery, the side connectors, the 510 connector, the buttons... I suppose it could be done, but not easily, and probably with mixed results.

At any rate, the stock device is as waterproof - or water-resistant - as the Titanic.

Which was - until it hit a "problem". Guess I'll just be careful with it when it eventually arrives from FT - I'll try to cover it in a safety zone of larks' vomit.

I've just spent a week going to the spa with it. The water comes from the showers and saunas. It's been sitting in there for 9 days

Between vaping, showers, and saunas- you should be well hydrated for the year, lol. Sounds more like a vacation for people that live in the desert.

Hope you're having a relaxing time!!

I have 2 of them. My newest unit has a tight 510 & a good ohm checker( which was my other gripe with my first unit), but I haven't knocked it onto the floor 3 times like I have done to the first one I bought. I love how it fits & sticks inside the pistol pocket of my leather CC vest.
I'm going to buy 2 more & stash them in case they stop making them. Since I've beat the first one up pretty good, I'm going to do some experimenting with it and see how water resistant I can get it & still be able to remove the battery. I'll for sure have to get a little longer battery compartment screw, but that shouldn't be too hard.
If I have some success, I'll put an article about it here at ECF.

Mine has just arrived - very happy with it after first few vapes. Much heavier than MVP but this is oddly reassuring.

I'm pretty happy with mine too. I just don't treat it roughly like it's inviting you to, is all
