Lol, that's the point of brainstorming. That's why I talk a lot..there will have to be something useful that is spouted off eventually!

Ooh, you know what I just thought of..On top of the PCB there is a metal ring that goes around, like a halo. It's soldered to two points of the board. I'll bet money that it is a ground and is only effective while inside of the aluminum tube..I wonder if there would be an alternate method of grounding it. It's all tailored to the specific application, but where there is a will, there's a way..
Simply you would need to complete the circuit, a metal strip running to the negative, or copper tape should do the trick
But there is no negative, per-se..I think if I can get that ring removed, there should be two negative areas on the board that I would just have to ground out. Realistically..it would be as simple as that, maybe it's just me expecting the worse due to my luck with it as stands, lol. I'll examine it again, tomorrow, and if I can't get it golden..else, I will explore other options. I have a couple of transparent battery boxes that I could fuse together. House the PCB in one and the battery in the other. I dunno, I'm gonna hit the sack, before my brain gets overloaded. I'll re-visit tomorrow, though.
Totally understand, I obsess on projects until they tick me off,when often the solution is so simple. Goodnight all , catch you tomorrow.
Same here. Sometimes you just gotta walk away for a bit..come back and your surprised at what you overlooked.
Alright, man..have a good one! Ill catch you tomorrow.

What ever happened to John Neville anyway? The last thing I remember him doing was The X-Files, way back when..
Kegger, MV put an additional product up today. The VV Gripper. Don't know much about it, other than what is on the product page, but it looks bad ....
Yes, but it is expensive, kit is pushing 100 bucks, its made my smoketek
And after the what seems to be the epic failure of the Vmax, im waiting this the jury has done some deliberation on this one

Yeah, that's what I heard..But you would only need to buy the unit and a set of bats..I could hook you up with a charger..ahh, look at me trying to talk you into getting this so I can vape it vicariously through you..lol
It's on my watch list, though. No reviews yet, but I'm skimming the MV forum about it..

I will admit, it looks pretty sweet. very portable and discreet.
Plus: No stacked batteries, 4amp switch (if its true) and it sits flat.
Minus, I have see what the display looks like yet im guessing it is white LED on black with no backlighting
I think I read somewhere that it has an LCD display like the LT. That reddish backlight with black numbers, or vice versa..
Why do you go and confuse me.... naw i really need to see some reviews on this before i would consider buying, especially after the Vmax.
I am waiting to get the VV gripper and the vmax, should be here within a few days... you guys are welcome to try them.
Just the impression I have got from many reviews, but I know there have been revision to the vmax made as well. Many reviews have shown that the volts under load are far different from the settings, and stacked batteries with a 5amp switch is just a bit risky. Just what I have read.
