    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Just an update - I contacted them and made them aware, they gave me a full refund which I put towards something else in their store. They were unbelievably helpful with this and appreciated the feedback.

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Right, and to achieve that level of knowledge at some point you're going to have to undertake some form of risk to find that out unless it's been documented elsewhere. In this instance it went badly, and unless something like this is a regular occurrence I see no reason that an advanced user is...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    You realise that by this post you're contradicting yourself? You need to figure out the design flaws before everyday use can apply, yet you may not figure out the design flaws UNTIL you use it in the everyday fashion.

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    And said inspection would include testing equipment as well as setup to simulate any and all scenarios relating to any and all situations that said user might encounter and be able to recreate all those scenarios to 100% accuracy in order to prevent accidental auto-fire. Didn't think so. So...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    I get that you aren't trying to minimise the situation - what I also get is that my interpretation of normal doesn't coincide with yours. If this happened after treating it like a soccer ball and THAT was my interpretation of normal I'm pretty sure you and many others would chime in and tell me...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Just trying to get my head around your thought process here: 1) Never said I was an advanced user, nor did I report this as a self-described advanced user. Granted an advanced user might handle things differently, like putting a fix in, or modifying certain components, but for something less...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Which if you read my other posts I did - I didn't say "don't buy this mod it's terrible" I simply made mention of what I had experienced, and then made it clear that if someone will buy it, read and understand. As for my own experience I won't have it. I believe it's a design flaw, your belief...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Before I sent the mod back I was taking note of the auto-fire events, this was not something you can explain away with that - and I didn't provide the context other than on its side but it fired on an incline as well. If it auto-fires at points outside of intended actuation methods in...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    I understated, I haven't had a vape in nearly 5 hours.....so I'm getting all antsy.

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Fair call, I can't argue with that. I'm probably just a little annoyed and slightly spooked by that mod.

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    You're not wrong, my argument was that the way that I discovered this was by quite simply using it in a normal (by normal I mean everyday) fashion, and all that occurred to find that was it went on its side in my pocket. It's not related to age, or to some configuration that you would find in...

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    @billthetroll - as I was saying, I'm a little astounded that it took a friggin nobody to point out something (not hard to replicate by the sounds) that people who put out reviews on a regular basis did not. @classwife - thanks for the redirect on those old threads :)

    Brief review/unboxing - THC Tauren

    What I'm more astounded with is HOW ON EARTH DID THE REVIEWERS NOT SEE THIS!?!?!?!!

    Brief review/unboxing - THC Tauren

    It sucks that this managed to occur on what was otherwise a good piece of kit. I was wondering if it was just mine.

    Brief review/unboxing - THC Tauren

    No problem brother, I'm glad I didn't get anything more than torched cotton and I'm super glad that I spotted it so early. Had it been something I keep at home on the shelf and never used (outside of very controlled conditions) I'd never have spotted it. And im glad to have helped somewhat.

    Tauren and the auto-firing debacle

    Howdy all, So I posted about two threads detailing my initial purchase of the Tauren and the major flaw that I encountered. I pretty much went over what I believed to be wrong; basically the ball bearing being free inside the cage can make contact with the side of the mod - I pulled it...

    Brief review/unboxing - THC Tauren

    In this case mine didn't come packed with grease. But yes - it's not a permanent solution nor does it provide a captive cage for the ball bearing to actuate - so it's liable to fail in normal rather than abnormal conditions. I'm starting a new thread showing the bits and bobs and a video of...

    Another “first mech” thread

    tell me about it, no friggin way that should happen. I had it in my pocket and heard it spatter and had a hard time grabbing it because it was hot. Immediately pulled the battery out and let it cool.

    Another “first mech” thread

    Could very well be that I've done something wrong - but when it came to the rattle everyone was concerned more about the noise, no one mentioned anything about auto-fire. I took it apart last night, cleaned and dried and assembled exactly as it had come out, and it's never been on its side until...
