Vaporshark RDNA 40. Liquid inside.

[Octavio]

hi guys. Im having liquid inside my rdna 40.. im almost sure it is not e liquid. I think its because of condensation. I vape in cold and hot places because of where i live. Im super worried I already wrote to support. What do you guys recommend. Its also very weird because it comes from the battery area. Im using VTC 4 and the LG battery that comes with the Vaporshark rdna 40.

Having visited Panama a few times, I would venture to say that it's the condensation from going in and out of hot and cold eniornments mixed with the humidity.

I don't see any liquid in the pics, am I suppose to? I do see the smear on the inner tag, are you sure that isn't from your fingers being wet when you put the battery in, which may have transferred to the battery?

Randy, that's not a smear. Look at the pattern that the fuid has moved the ink in to. Thats cause by direct liquid contact without any agitation of the ink.

Okay? Wouldn't that happen if the outside of the battery had moisture on it when it was installed? It would be difficult for liquid to seep that far into the battery compartment without being noticeable as to where it was coming from. To the best of my knowledge batteries don't "sweat".

Panama is a pretty humid enviornment. The average humidity there is ~80%, and I wouldn't be suprised if there was a minute amount of condensation on every metal piece in the box. That being said though, the VS dna boxes (both 30 and 40) have had instances of sluid leakage through the 510 connector. But he said that wasn't it, so given his enviornment and everything I would say some sort of condensation from something is causing it.

That looks like a lot of liquid for it to be condensation. It can get quite humid here too and the temperatures are in the hundreds most days of summer - so I am in and out of fierce A/C and temperature changes. I've never seen condensation that bad before. Not saying it isn't, but it looks excessive to me.

Just on the off chance, have a smell of the liquid inside the battery compartment. If it's e-liquid, it will be obvious, If it smells like vinegar, your battery leaked. If it smells like nothing, chances are, then it is condensation.

If not, I am not sure what to suggest, maybe pack in a small pack of the silica beads you get to absorb moisture inside the battery compartment or something. I think you did the right thing contacting VS, perhaps they can come up with a better solution.

Well I contacted VS and they opened a case with my Vaporshark RDNA 40. I think it might be eliquid. I feel its a bit excesive and i feel i havn't poured e liquid into my rdna 40.. I am always cautious and never leave an rda on top of my rdna for a long time. except for this flaw, i think the RDNA 40 is the best vaporizer. Sorry for my typos. english is not my first language.

I have an rDNA as well... and liquid tends to creep into the mod if you have leaks.
Always open the battery cover up and check for leaked juice if your tank happens to leak
