Hello all.. sorry this is my first post.
Been vaping for over 5 years now. Started sep 22nd 2009.
I may of posted on here years ago but since changed emails a few times and moved.. no idea. I don't do forums often.. mainly pc hardware forums if ever.
Anyways to the point.
I've bought an athentic derringer v1.2 , last one from an online vender for $71 after discount. Took forever to get here first class mail. So much that I could not wait anymore and noticed how cheap the clones sold for and found a local vape shop just down the road from me that opened up a year ago but had no need to visit.
They had one and a little too much at $30 but mentioned thst another local store I've seen advertised the price at $20. I really was expecting 20 anyways seeing them much cheaper onine at 8-15. he did give me a one time $5 discount. Anyways was happy since it had a black metal lid. Converted it to bottom fed even.
Now today I get the real one in the mail and first thing I notice is sharp ruff edges around the drip tip hole. Pull the top off and there was sharp ruff edges on the inne ring as well.. even the hole cut for the center post insert was real ruff with burs. Ok no big deal I can lightly sand those smooth with little effort.
Then I notice the biggy.. the 3 air holes on the inner ring look like there cut too high. The outer cutout on the lid basicly covers half the air holes! wow.. same on all 3 sets of air holes. And on ea set of air holes the left most hole is all cut the same.. larger then the other 2! Basicly I'd have to lift the lip up about an 8th of an inch just to unblock the air hokes.
If I put the clone black top on it the holes line up but the lid is slightly too large and wont hold. Also the real top won't even fit on the clone. Can't even fit it over the inner ring on the clone.
What to do cause the place I bought it froms policy basicly states no refunds! So I guess I'm stuck contacting the maker but have no idea how to contact thrm or who?
