So I happened to be the unlucky guy to get not one but two faulty Boxes. The first one the atty blew with in hours Carlos replaced it. The second one the atty and light where going on and off 1/2 second at a time.

I don't have one and I don't know about getting one. The learning curve seems too high.
However, I grieve for you. I know how long folks have waited for theirs and I can feel your pain.

Oh man that really sucks, hope it finally works out, I got mine around the time you got yours(beginning of March).

sorry to hear that SNM...send it back again and again until you are happy.
I feel for you and I'm getting a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach as I wait
for my JB shipping notice...I'm almost dead last on the list.
Wish you the best.

Sorry to hear that SNM. Got mine on March 4th and now the light & atty go out every 2 seconds. The way it's wired, in parallel, leaves me to believe that the atty is shorting out, otherwise the light would still stay on, and the atty not heat up. Luckily the circuit in the battery is doing it's job and shutting down power upon detecting a short. I'm assuming this is whats happening and if anyone knows different, please chime in.
This would not be a pretty picture if protected batteries were not used. Am I being a little too paranoid here?
The more I think of it, how can the atty be shorting out? It's just a heating element right? I can see the battery cutting out when it's almost in need of charge, but it's doing it with a fully charged (4.19v) battery.
SNM, what was the turn around time for you to get a replacement from Carlos? Left a msg for him Sunday, and still no reply. Why do I feel like it's gonna be weeks till it's working again. Back to my trusty 510 again...

Well the latest bad one has been over a month and it still dosent work. I think I will try to fix it myself. As I have had little luck getting ahold of carlos. If I unplug the atty the light stays on. Yhis leads me to belive it is a problem with the atty.
did the same thing,on for a second than off,no heat no sizzle sound. I checked all the connections w/a multimeter,all of 'em read 4.1 except the red wire under the epoxy(I couldn't get to it).I expect that's where the problem is.
I e-mailed Carlos,20 mins later I had a reply. He said send it back and he'd gladly take of it.I did so.
Before I sent it back I tried it @ 6v and the light stayed lit but no heat,probably because the cr2's are unprotected.
In the mean time I built this to tide me over (see avatar)
When i get the Juicebox back, I'll post again
Good luck all

Mine got sent back today due to a crack in the epoxy that caused a juice leak and left it unvapeable.
The CJB is a relatively complex, handmade mod. Despite the atty that I loved, it does have a bunch of potential fail points that a conventional battery mod doesn't. This is my experience with the other two box mods that I've tried so far.
For this reason alone, I think a box mod should always be a secondary vape, or that you should always have a trusty 1st or 2nd gen PV handy.

Mine hasn't been delivered yet. I'm getting the feeling that Carlos was overwhelmed by an unexpected crush of orders and just couldn't cope. I hope mine turns out to be one of the "good ones" ... if not, I'll chalk it up to experience. Time will tell (hopefully, not too much more time).
IM sure you will all be happy After time.
Sorry your having bad luck on that.
Mine worked find no cutoffs
