Sealed z200, falls apart upon unboxing.

[The60WattGUY]

Stay away from geekvape,..
I had a z200 geekvape the new one it was sealed stashed in my vape stash wanted a new mod today so i decided to finally open it up and use it, but guess what...
I unboxed it and when i started vaping it suddently the screen just falls off onto my lap like wtf how is this broken already i just opened it, i took pictures..

Never again geekvape im sorry... They suck

 

[The60WattGUY]

Im so mad lol

Not entirely certain @The60WattGUY, but looks as though it's a facia plate.

And it hasn't been secured with adhesive to the mod, that's really shoddy quality control as it should have never left the factory like that.

 

[The60WattGUY]

So what do i do, would glue work, theree adhesive but its not sticking well @Mordacai

 

[Mordacai]

@The60WattGUY the body of the mod would need cleaning and prepping first with Isopropyl or Eythl Alcohol, and the plastic faceplate would need washing with soap and water. That'll help things stick better as they'll be free of dirt and contaminants, but you'll have to use gloves to keep it that way while performing the process of applying adhesive and putting together.

But yeah, a glue/adhesive is what you'll need. No ideas what one though exactly, but something from 3M for certain.

They do paint on, spray and acrylic adhesive infused foam tape. So there's a lot of options to choose from.

Thank you ill see if i can glue it stuck i mean the factory glues it too so, if itll work and stays then ill still use the mod and be happy with it, but yeah super cheaply made tbh im kinda done with geekvape cause my other geekvape device the L200 has issues too.. Geekvape is terrible IMO not gonna lie

Seems that their QC has really dropped off @The60WattGUY, I know that many are complaining about the quality of their drop in coils.

And as I was noticing with their latest slew of mods the solutions with the charging ports doesn't look great at all compared to previous generations.

Don't expect any help from Geekvape customer service. I've had run ins with them and they're terrible.

My old Solos have never given me a problem. But I got a couple of the updated version later when Solos were going out of stock, and one didn't work in TC mode. Emailed them but never got a reply. My recollection is that their customer service was good at one time. I emailed them with a question once and got a reply right away.

Sounds like glue might sort your problem out though. Don't know your mod but maybe it's a case where there won't be a lot of pressure on the join. Got to get the right glue, especially if you are gluing different materials like plastic to metal. Lots of info online, I had to research glue once for a job gluing silicone to metal. There was only one glue that could do that.

Worth a shot anyway.

 

[The60WattGUY]

I think its plastic to plastic so imma look for some strong plastic super glue?? @englishmick

 

[Mordacai]

@The60WattGUY that really wouldn't be the best for the job, I'm thinking some sort of spray mount/contact adhesive will be a better fit.

It'll allow you to properly seat the fascia plate and can allow for removal and reapplication if needs be, superglue wouldn't allow for that though.

Just a thought though.

 

[The60WattGUY]

Yea the 3M 90 or whatever u said ill see if i can find some of that stuff @Mordacai

 

[Mordacai]

It seems about the best for sticking mods back together @The60WattGUY, it'll definitely give a very professional looking job.

Here's a link for information on it.
