G Box has Died !!!

[HAZZA1962]

Anybody had problems with their G Box ? Mine died on me last night, and I am Gutted !!! It's been my most frequently used mod since I bought it, and it's been working fine until last night.
I put new Batteries in it, and it wouldn't switch on !!!
I've tried Four different pairs in it with no joy, I've stripped it down and can't see any problem with the wiring !!!
I was going to order another one tomorrow, but I'm wondering if I should go for something else, or if I've just been unlucky with this one !!!

That's a pain in the arse mate, not under warranty I assume?

I can't even remember when or where I bought it !!! And I can't be arsed trawling through my E mails to find out !!! It must be about four or five months ago, so it probably won't be covered now anyway !!!

Nooo, that sucks. No problem's with mine yet firing wise but the door opening catch has fallen off. Took it apart and found that the m1.6 screw holding the sliding button in had snapped. Getting a few more screws and I'm going to modify it for something stronger. I quite like the mod but think the Dripbox 160 is so much better . Wish you could still get those !

I'll probably take a chance on another one, because I really liked it, And I've bought a couple of silicone cases and modified it to take the silicone bottles !!!

You just may have been unlucky. Mass produced after all aren't they so there's bound to be a few that fail.

Make sure the sprung loaded battery terminals are free to move,sometimes my Gbox won’t switch on due to sticky terminals in the top of the mod.
