Regretfully disappointed...

[mgrimes]

Not only does the Prodigy V2 not work, no matter how many batteries, atomizers, positioning and putting the switch back together, it even shipped with an 801 atty in the 510 full kit. This I imagine would be really bad had this been my first mod and had I not had a dozen 510 atomizers sitting around.

Yes I don't own a multimeter.. Given the number of parts, there can't be that many ways I'm missing in trying to fix it. Don't even know where to begin. Hit the switch, dead.

I've backed out the switch and screwed the adapter on to seat the switch, tightened, loosened, used several charged pairs of yellow tenergys since I own a V1. Nothing.

MG --

Lets start from the switch and work our way out!

#1 easiest way to tell if your switch is working (without a multimeter) -- Assemble the Prodigy without the adapter on. Put your tongue on the aluminum post and you will feel a very slight tingle when you hit the button. Give that a shot, and then we will know whether or not its the adapter. I have yet to see a single V2 switch not work btw

EDIT: Its a tingle - not a zap or anything intense - Definitely a safe method of testing

 

[mgrimes]

Thanks for the quick response Steve. It's the 510 adapter (got tingle)

OH CRAP I got bitten by the 510 atty post problem. Don't mind me, I'm an idiot I used a pair of tweezers to pull the post out a bit.

Any reason the recessed posts seem to work on the V1 as is, but fail on the v2 510 adapter? I must have missed this discussion

Copy -- Which seems to be our only issue! We went over a few things in the shipping thread. If you are still up and awake, I will PM you my phone number quick and we can trouble shoot. Shouldn't take more than just a couple minutes to get your up and running

 

[CaSHMeRe]

Nevermind then LOL

If you still want to give me a call - We can adjust your 510 post so you don't have to adjust the center post on your atomizer too often

Just a couple taps with a hammer on the center post of the adapter will adjust it a couple MM upwards.

 

[mgrimes]

Sure please PM me your number, got a hammer ready

 

[mgrimes]

Thanks for all your help Steve -- simply outstanding customer service as always. After all how many suppliers let you call them in the wee hours of the morning and are patient enough to walk a customer through the motions. Will be noted in the review for sure.

 

[CaSHMeRe]

no problemo MG ... Just happy she is working good for ya now Enjoy that So Cal weather while I sit here enjoying a wind chill of -5 F ..... hehe

have a great weekend bud!

I'm hoping my new v2 has no problems, but it's nice to know that there is a quick fix if there is. I still have my fingers crossed that it will show up in my mailbox tomorrow, but it will most likely be Monday, knowing the mail around here.

Any mechanical mod Ive used has gotten a lil offset in the ddelivery process. Once you know that the posts all move and take the rare occasional adjustment - Everythings gravey

I knew from a previous mod that if I just moved that center post a lil the contact would be there...Smooth sailing ever since! Great lil' mod!!

Is this simply the best customer service ever or what?

Sure is - and its a major reason why I send most of my vaping cash to Hendersonville!

The 510 atty post bug strikes again... LOL. Steve, gotta commend you for your patience

 

[Surf Monkey]

Hey, Steve: what's the situation with the button? Is the body of the button supposed to move? On the V1 the button base is rock solid and only the button itself moves up and down. On my V2 the button base and the button both move, as if there's a very small amount of play between the housing and the tube. Is that normal?

 

[CaSHMeRe]

Hey Surf -- Answered ya in the other thread YES!

 

[seven]

Mgrimes or cash, what was the fix? Did u tap the center post a few times from the bottom?

 

[secret26x]

yeah, can someone point me to a thread that teaches how to fix the post problem? i don't know what it is and how to remedy it, but i keep hearing about it

im scared. hold me

 

[CaSHMeRe]

Haha ... Hey Secret ... Do you actually have a post problem or are you waiting on your device to be prepared? All recently shipped devices should be pre-adjusted. And units shipping Today and beyond, will actually have a bit of a longer post, so there will be no needed adjustment
