clicking the imgur watermark worked for me. ill re upload and see if it fixes it.

Got it. That took me to the pic. Yeah, does not look like TC at all. Here's a pic of an authentic SSOCC, close up so you can see what the marking looks like:

Authentic ssocc heads;
Red o rings = NiCr - watt mode only
Blue o rings = Ni - Tc Ni mode only
Black o rings = Clapton coil kanthal - watt mode only
Pink o rings = SS - Tc ss or watt mode, head marked sus316.

If you're using clone / counterfeit heads there is no uniformity in o ring color.

Right. I think what he has is a clone of the kanthal Clapton coil atomizer.

I don't like FT because they take forever, but if you want to use them just assume that you are getting clones/fakes unless "authentic" is in the title.

If you order from FT again, be sure it says "authentic" in the title. Anything that doesn't have that or says "styled" are clones.
