Vapros V1 ***DANGEROUS DEVICE ALERT***

[roadhoguk]

We purchased this device for a review, however after finding a BIG problem with them it has now been cut & uploaded as a warning alert. If you have one of these our advice is return it or bin it.
We do apologize for the amount of cutting needed to transfer from Review to Alert though, its not anywhere as neat as we had wanted for you but needs must. This video shows the device failing and voltages.

I have been in close contact with them with reference this and will have the new unit to look at as soon as it has been revised probably around 29th Jan, the Company itself has replied to a couple of questions i put to them.
Q: how soon between hearing of the fault and acting did you take
A: We notice the video named "SLB Vapros V1 is dangerous" on ECF forum on the night of 16th Jan,we acted on 17th Jan. ( that was reference Lord Davons initial warning)

Q : why was the faulty components not checked, and what if any action has been taken to ensure that does not happen again
A : That batch is not stable(some works,some failed),on the other hand,we had a quite urgent production schedule for this device,we did not run a through checking,we will
(1)Strengthen our supplier control
(2)100% QC testing for all raw material
(3)Software update:Vapros V1 will be shut off when adjust voltage,not working while sleeping

Q : when will the new and revised units be available for testing and sale.
A : We are looking for supplier with better quality and working on the software updating now. Around 29th Jan

So as soon as i have received confirmation of the new unit being sent out i will update you all.
