Concerned...kind of...

So, as my other thread says, I made a trade and got me a P+18650.

It fires like a dream, however when I got to looking at the contacts, I found this:

The other contacts are all a silver color. Is this normal wear? If not, can this be fixed?

Other than that, the thing is fantastic looking and fires amazingly.

Ewww looks like the contacts have been sanded or switched out and replaced. Did the person you trade with tell you anything about the contacts?

Worse part about it, I don't believe the rhodium plating is covered under the warranty, I could be wrong. Hopefully I am.

 

[Pathology]

Nope, he didn't say anything about the contacts. If it isn't covered, how much would it be to replace? Or is there a way I can buy just a whole new bottom piece for the mod?

 

[Blix]

I'm sure David can sell you a new screw for it, shouldn't set you back much at all.

 

[Freckle]

I read where there were talks about buying caps, bottom buttons not sure. If there isn't a an option to purchase a replacement pin, I think that would be a good idea for superT to offer. Hopefully David will come along with an idea.

I am so sorry about your trade ending up like that. I would for sure leave a review under the person's name who traded that device to you.

I once traded for a reo grand, got it and it was junk. How in the world someone could destroy something like that is beyond me, but he had. I learned then that I wouldn't trade anymore, if I couldn't purchase it new, I didn't need it. I ended up getting the reo fixed, but it cost me more than if I had purchased it new from reos mods. Lesson learned!

That's good to hear. For now though, its firing great lol. Kind of wish the rhodium was all still there, but I can live without it if he can't help me out.

Yes, someone sanded or polished the plating off. With so many unplated brass mods out there, some just don't realize it and accidently start sanding not realizing they are plated.

We have some spare plated screws around. Shoot me an email to: supertmanufacturing@yahoo.com

Nevermind...

 

[snork]

It boggles my mind why anybody would do that. They obviously didn't know what they had.

 

[Pathology]

I sent you a PM. You are fantastic with customer service, I must say!

Will be a customer from now on, I can assure you!

 

[Pathology]

Oh, and by PM, I meant email. Sorry lol.

 

[forcedfuel50]

Not a problem. Some of the misinformation regarding plating comes from manufacturers who don't plate (or have had bad experiences with poor plating) and are promoting that raw brass is better then plating, This is completely false. See this thread for more infomation on the benefits of Rhodium plating: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/super-t-manufacturing/231517-why-rhodium-facts.html

Super-T uses only ASTM and Mil specification Rhodium plating done by a certified ASTM Mil Spec Plater. We do not plate in house nor use fly by night platers, we leave it to the professionals. We've had plated parts widely in use in the field for two years now with excellent durability results.

 

[Pathology]

Yeah, I've read all about it on your site, and on the STM sub-forum.

One of the main reasons I was in search on one to trade for. Just sucks I ended up with the short end of the stick. At least you are able to fix it though, so not all is lost.

 

[Pathology]

Did you happen to receive my email, captain?

 

[forcedfuel50]

Did you happen to receive my email, captain?

We sure did, haven't gotten to emails yet, but I did see it come in and will get to it asap.

 

[Pathology]

Okay man. Good to hear. Take your time, I just wanted to be sure I sent it to the correct place

 

[vaptamist]

Just curious - are you sure it's a P+? Does it have a locking button? It could be an older model Precise.

 

[Pathology]

Yes I'm sure. It has a locking button.

 

[Nicblazer]

Yes I'm sure. It has a locking button.

I'm just happy that you gave the guy a bad review.

I wasn't mean in my review, just honest. If I would have known, I wouldn't have traded.
