Right then.
I've been accepted for a job, and have yet another interview for another one on tuesday.
I was also offered a place at uni.
Naturally, I was very happy.
Mum offered to buy me a dripper as a "Woo, well done!"
So as a result, I had a look around, and narrowed it down to two:
The MX V3...
The Airek RDA Clone.
The airek I bought, was sold as having peek insulators by a company which shall remain nameless until I have confirmation from a mod I'm allowed to tell you all...
Since it was bought by mum, I left all the payment mc'gubbins to her... Annoyingly, she followed their payment guide and sent it as F+F. First mistake..
Next day, it arrived first class signed for.
AWESOME I thought! Let's get a build in it and let rip!
So, I put my usual build in. Something that every single dripper I owned previously before I had to get rid of stuff had in it.
Something it should be able to handle (afterall, an Igo W could ffs).
Upon building it, I had one issue:
The centre post span ever so slightly. No worries. It happens!
so, I fired her up pulsing the coils, wicked them, and had a toot.
fuck me this was good! Huuuuuuge Clouds, bags of flavour, I was a happy bunny.
Then, a grand total of 10 inhales later, Nothing.
Nada.
Other than a fucking hot hand, and a battery entering thermal runaway...
The battery was thrown out the window, and it landed on the grass outside. Don't worry, the dogs were inside and didn't want to play fetch.
I then took the Airek off the SMPL clone it was on...
The 510 pin was flush.. Whereas before it had around 1mm clearance..
Ie, a hard short...
So naturally, I messaged where mum had bought it from...
No reply.
It was read, but there was no reply.
So as a result, I took it all apart and found the insulator was a DELRIN 2 piece. Not Peek as described.
As a result I was rather angry.. And sent another message.
Read, and no reply.
Nothing.
Nada.
So now I have a dripper that can't be used.
If it was actually described properly, I wouldn't be so annoyed. But it wasn't.
Should've just got the f*cking MX v3
