Vp2 Take Spart

[stormchas3r]

Just received my bad VP2 from day vape. Which I knew was dead. And was wondering if anyone knew how to take apart the VP2? The switch seems to be shot. I know I could send it to vaprlife. I just want to see if I can fix this myself.

I suggest sending it back to Vaprlife BUT if you look right around the button you will see a line that runs around the unit. Two pieces actually unscrew apart, but you'll need a little but of elbow grease to do it.

Awesome. Ill try that. Thanks Chris.

Regular or reversed threads? Just trying to see which way to twist. This boy is tight!

[Christopher]

hmmm regular I think but I'm not 100% sure. It's lock tight.

[stormchas3r]

Yup I got it. Had to use channel locks with rubber gloves to protect. Found the switch to be bad. Now I have to find a replacement. Home depot or radio shack sell these?

Thanks for the help.

Is this the switch? http://www.madvapes.com/Tactile-Switch-with-Round-actuator-300g_p_2208.html

Dang your good Jeff. Yes it is. But aren't these prone to fail? Is there an alternative?

[Jeffb]

I don't know about prone to fail. I've had my VP/PT since November with that switch and its still going strong.

[stormchas3r]

Alright. Then I'm on it. Ill order some tomorrow.

Thanks all!

Sorry, about the spelling, I was on my blackberry. It wasn't that difficult to take apart. I used gardeners gloves with the rubber coating on the outside. Then channel locked it and twisted, and waaalaaa! Just remember, if you take it apart, it will void the warranty/protection.

After taking it apart, I have seen that Jeso really has a quality niche for this. Good Job Vaprlife!
