young june? can someone please give me the facts

[Kevin King]

ok so i hve my first LT from vapor beast. made by young june and supposably a v2.0 but everyone is saying its a v1.5t..

it has the atty resistence meter, and its CLAIMS to be 4.0 amp limit.

but after reading a thread about joung june making knockoffs everywere and telling lies about the "limits", and all the talk about it being very unsafe has got me worried.

my question i have is if my LT from vaporbeast is dangerous and knockoff?

Kevin,

Depends on who you talk to, who you read, and---most of all---who you trust.

Andrew, the owner of CrystalClearVaping, was using one of the V1.5 units he sold on CCV, which had a shorted chip and started firing without stopping while he was out of the room. CCV immediately stopped selling the V1.5 and ordered the chrome V2.0 as a replacement (with a small upgrade charge) for everyone who purchased a V1.5 and is willing to return it.

Vendors have been told that this dangerous glitch was fixed in the V1.5t, and we have no reports of any failures of these units.

Is the 1.5t a "fake, fraud, and knockoff?" One poster feels that's true, and has been vocal in proclaiming it, including linking to an email on Alibaba implying bad blood between L-Rider and Young June. I don't have a dog in that fight, and I don't claim to know who's right and who's wrong. For example, JoyeTech created the eGo, but many other Chinese manufacturers then came out with presumably unlicensed eGo-clones, some of which are quite good, perhaps better than the original. Are the all eGo-clones "frauds"? I don't know. I'm just a lowly end consumer, not privy to insider facts, and all I care about is getting the best device possible at the lowest price.

The old "Caveat Emptor" rule applies here, as elsewhere. Learn what you can, make your own judgment, and act accordingly.

good stuff. i have the same standpoint as you, i just am kinda..nervous i guess i could say. i love this LT, but i cant fathom how horrible it would be to have it blow up in my face. if ya know what i mean. i know it most likely would not happen. but it is most certainly possible.

The ones that went screwy were the v1.5 devices that still had the plastic tops of the v1. The v1.5t has the metal top and bottom caps. They have the same zombie vape 6click issue as the v1.5 but haven't had any of the meltdown issues that I'm aware of. Mine runs fine and hasn't gone screwy. I don't take the battery out or anything. I just act as if I haven't read anything about it. So far it hasn't given me any reason to worry. I used mine for about 60% of the day for about two weeks now. I use it at home and use other PVs when I'm out-n-about.

Could something go stupid? Sure. If it does, it does. I don't think it's a high probability though.

As to the Young Jun issue... does it really matter? It's China. Everything is a copy, clone, fake, knock-off of every other Chinese copy-clone-KO-fake device. Some are better some aren't. Chinese stuff is fine if you want inexpensive and decent quality, but you have to expect that some will be duds. That's why it's important to buy from a vendor that won't leave you hanging when it's day 31 of the 30 day warranty.

And if your super worried, you can get a $.02 safety fuse, I don't have s link cause on my mobile, but Its basically a fuse to stop your battery if it hard shorts the system, I've seen em posted for like $9.00, just as another safety net, its not like it would hurt to have it. Just an idea if your worried. Why not add as much safety as possible.
