'YJ' Chrome V2 fix for the 'Lo' flashing

[VAPNJ350]

This thread is to help or assist anyone having a issue with their Young June Chrome V2.

Primarily the 'Lo' flashing light in the display after you screw your atty on. It acts fine with no atty attached showing 9.9A when pushing the power button. As soon as you put a atty on it and hit the 'fire' button the display screen just shows a 'Lo' and the protection kicks on like the battery is too 'Lo' to function.

*Their is a fairly easy fix for this with 1-2 simple parts every vaper probably has within 6 feet of you.*

I will wait to go further with this until I see their are people out there with this issue, if not then I'll close the thread to keep useful room open for what's needed. Take care everyone.

Awe man. In short I too am affected. Spill the beans please. Lol

Woooops....Sorry for the delay. Bare with me I'm workin' on a few photos of the 2 parts you'll need to fix this forever. NO MORE 'Lo' flashing. EVER !! Check back tomorrow I'll try to get it all done. In the mean time make sure the battery is out of your device, if it happens to go past the 'Lo' flash and you smell a horrid burnt chip, due to leaving the battery in, it's over and past the point of the quick easy fix.

And while I'm thinking of it...you are sure you do have the young june V2 LT...right ? No red power button....all 4 buttons are chrome painted. ??

Thanks in advance. Yep, YJ version, but I have it in Black, don't think that matters though... Standing by.

Just had this happen earlier, would love to hear the fix for this! Let us know when you can! Also it doesn't do it on all my atty's, just started doing it on one in particular. It will work fine with no issues on other batteries! Any help will be appreciated!

Ok so I found what the issue is. On one of my three Vivi Nova's, apparently it goes down too far when I screw it in, grounding itself to the 510 connector. No I am not using "gorilla hands" to tighten it, just tightening it down just enough to where it doesn't move.

Now that I am at home and not at work, my fix was to take a carto condom and cut the closed end off and then cut it length-wise in half. Next I cut a cross into the middle of the rubber and once I was sure it was large enough for the threads to fit through snugly, I cut the center corners off. Leaving a hexagonal shape open in the middle. Then I put it on the bottom of the VN. I then took a marker and ran it around the bottom of the VN and cut the plastic down so it wouldn't stick out beyond the edges.

Once that was done I put the VN back on my YJ and tested it. Worked awesome! The only downside was that it made the draw very very tight. I found that loosening about an 1/8th of an in kept it snug but drawable.

With all of that said, there is an better and easier way to do this, if you have a spare (very small) o-ring around you that is the right size you could put that on the base of the VN above the threads and it should keep it from happening as well.

Even easier, put a little masking tape just on the top of the 510 connector so there is no metal to metal contact and that shouldn't effect the draw at all or even be seen when you have a tank on. Also if it gets torn, just replace the tape! (I think I'm going to try this now that I thought of it

Hope this helps and sorry I didn't have pictures of any of it but my camera is MIA.

Ok sorry for the delay on the fix....real life was happening. Ok here we go.

Things you will need :
1. A very small pointed tip pair of tweezers,...I picked up a pair of these at a grocery store for $2
2. A very very very small o-ring, smaller than a drip tip o-ring ....1.5-2mm inside diameter (probably find at lowes/home depot in the plumbing section around faucet repair parts)if you have a DID RA the tiny O-ring that comes with it is perfect.
3. A splash guard or top donut seal out of a CE-2 (this is that little black/clear donut that is in the top of a CE-2 that covers the needle injector hole and right below the mouth peice/drip tip. Small flat donut.

Now why this is happening.

YJ used a POS clear O-ring seal in between the positive pole piece in the top connection to seal and "seperate" the Positive pole from touching the negative well part. When you crank your atty down to far and too hard (WHICH YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER DO ON ANY DEVICE) this POS O-ring split/cracked and now when you "crank" down your atty the positive pole touches the bottom of the connection well which is the negative. Then you push the fire button and the"Lo" flashes on the display due to the protection kicking on. Sound familiar? Unscrew your atty just a tad and it works. It will do this on some, and some it won't, it all comes down to the thread length on the atty and how far out the positive center pole on your atty is sticking out.

Now.....THE FIX !!!!!

1ST...****TAKE OUT THE BATTERY !!!!!!*

2nd....Very carefully without pulling on the positive pole in the connection or moving it around too much try and get the old POS o-ring outta there completely using the tweezers. The positive pole will seem very wobbly. it's ok

3rd....take the new "tiny" O-ring you have and VERY VERY carefully work it around the positive pole and get it underneath the pole. This takes time so take your time, once you have the oring in their gently pry up slowly on the pole and get 1 side of the o-ring under it, from there use both sides of the tweezers evenly to slowly push the o-ring around the pole till it pops under it evenly.
4th .....get the flat CE-2 donut, now usually these little flat donuts have like a outer "raised ridge" on the very outside of them, get a pair of very sharp "accurate perferably small scissors and carefully and very "evenly" cut off the outer "raised ridge".....ONLY THE OUTER RAISED RIDGE PORTION.
5TH....After doing step 4, your going to press fit the flat rubber donut EVENLY around the positive pole. Once it's in there EVENLY take a damp paper towel and act as if you were cleaning juice out of the well. Twist the papertowel into a stick the size of the connection push it in and spin multiple times....this helps really push that donut all the way down evenly and makes a better seal than any ecig out there made. Not sure why all companies don't do this. This keeps the pole FULLY insulated from the side walls, sealed completely from juice, and centered in the middle of the connection.

Now.....YOUR DONE !!!!! SIT BACK PUT IN YOUR BATTERIES AND VAPE AWAY.

Disclaimer : If this did NOT fix your device then your device has a different issue. If it did...look forward to trouble free vaping from here out.

And just 1 more tip..... STOP CRANKIN' DOWN YOUR ATTY SO TIGHT !!!!! The ONLY thing you should ever do is screw it on till you feel resistance then a 16th turn further to just "snug" it up. Do NOT EVER screw any atty down until it stops and can't go further. The reason this all happened in the 1st place is because you did just that.

Take care everyone and good luck, just take your time. Go slow!

Hi there. I lost the original ring that came with the LT inside the assembly. I suppose that won't be a problem. I'm just having problems finding an O-ring within 6 feet of me. Could it work with just the O-ring? I don't have a CE4. I just have a ViVi Nova.

Also, how thick does the O-ring have to be? Can I get one only as thick as the one in drip tips? I'm really not feeling confident about this. I tried to improvise something from masking tape and it sucked balls. Now, I'm going to try the same with duct tape until I can call a friend who's a plumber to see if he has an O-ring that small.

Lowes or home depot should have what you need for under $5 in the faucet repair section by Plumbing. And you really need both to ensure the + post doesn't get pushed left or right when you screw down your atty and touch the outside wall then short out.

I'm in Romania. We have something like that called Praktiker and Dedeman. I'll try them out. For now, I improvised something with duct tape. It's working really well! I just cut a hole into the duct tape and fit it around the connector post. It's easy!

Nice! Canadian Chrome does it again! LOL
