From what I understand... Screwing down the cone too hard could result in cracking.

TY ejoker. Upon inspecting the newest one (3 days in my hands) I am getting the same crack in the same place. Not sure if it's the removal of the shell (think so), but there are vertical marks all around the curvature of the chamber. When I opened it up, it has seepage around the plastic outer chamber...argh! It's usable, but doubt what Vapage had in mind. The 3rd Vmod will hopefully arrive today. Got sent to Oakland for some weird reason and sat 2 days there.
Now to top it off, I sold the last of my reos and shipped yesterday. My custom wood box mod arrived and has issues and needs to go back to it's maker. Batting 1K here.

fyi, e-cig city in laguna beach is a distributor of the vmod/accessories. it might be worth a call to see if you can get your warranty issue handled there - nice drive up the coast, e-cig city is a great place to hang, and it beats waiting for the mailman.
Here's a pic of mine. I just noticed this after reading the previous posts. It's just to the left of the seam.
Ah yes, and old haunt for me. Many days spent diving out by Seal Rock. But now I am a high desert rat. It would be quicker for me to go to Vapage than Laguna, though much more enjoyable 
I've left a message since no one answered in CS, we'll see how it pans out. I have the number for John, but I can't read the extension number now...........bad ink, stooooopid pen!

YEP! Same here X2. Will report when the 3rd Vmod arrives.
My second crack (on one mod so far) started just left of that from the top down, now 5/8" long. If all the cracks are forming in the same place, the info should help get the issue resolved.

Not to worry, VMOD-ers. This just in from Vapage:
The crack is caused by the way the connector cup is assembled into the chassis. The cup has too much room to wiggle around inside the plastic chassis. There has been a revision made for the entire chassis to remove the chance of the cup moving around and causing the crack. The revision includes a set pin and a sleeve. *There will be free replacement chassis available in the next few weeks.* Anyone with a cracked chassis should contact Vapage. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Update on my shipping and anybody else who may have ordered before or over the weekend. I just got off the phone with Vapage and was told my Vmod shipped yesterday due to a slight back order of the 1.8 attys I ordered. So if you ordered 1.8 attys it should have shipped yesterday... Hope this helps anyone in hurry up and wait mode and the stalking of mail person can wait until tomorrow...
That cracking issue has me a bit worried.... As long as they take care of it all is good I guess.

Please don't worry, Scotay. I'm sure it will be taken care of.
Meanwhile, it's still a super functioning mod. Let's drip!

Anybody else experiencing problems with their buttons? Mine has started to turn itself off. What I mean by this is that when I turn it to "on", there is a bit of resistance, from the spring, near the end of the turn that when released it centers the key with the slot. It has always been there but now the resistance from the spring is turning it back too far and the key is not meeting the slot.
I had a teeny issue with the button/spring as well. I just wiggled the spring and gave it a gentle nudge to move it away from where it was interfering with the button. Now it's absolutely fine.
I think more substantial sprins would be nice. I was getting a lot of rattle with AW IMR 14500's before I stretched the lower one.
