Well an update. After joining facebook, messaging back and forth with VA's sales rep, having him add me to his facebook to communicate with him easier, he put me in touch with his "colleague" out in LA, I got a replacement switch, even though the original is repaired. The insulator and center post, however are a different story. According to the 3 times I asked him, the sales rep said the insulator and post aren't replaceable as they're "machine pressed"....after talking to the U.S. Based "colleague" he says to contact vape international. Apparently another fly by night outfit, but they actually have a website. After talking back and forth almost a week with them, I have parts coming! First and last VA anything I'll ever own!!!!
