Hhhmmm... Perhaps you're right. I don't remember. If mine had a faux hybrid top cap I threw it away the day I got it. I stand corrected. Let me rather say, mine has a center pin :)
I've never heard of it do I don't know.. But it says it comes with a hybrid cap. I'll bet money he was using that, and an rda that wasn't compatible. How is the venting on this mod?

Yes agree ... Batteries should be banned ... At least for people with an IQ lower below their age
Government can't shut down a complete market. The problem is, batteries are so common people take them for granted.

Just last week, my father put a watch battery in his pocket while he was at work, come home to find it exploded and leaked all over his front pocket because keys shorted it.

If it comes down to how things are handles, ban batteries? Ban knifes for all the chefs who injured themselfs cooking for people at an establishment.

Only thing labled nicotine products is the juice itself if it has nic.

Legally I can be 12, walk into a vapes hop up there and buy any mod i want, and juice as long as it's nic free.

Ah I see, thank you for clarifying, that does make sense.

To clarify on the phantom, it comes with the hybrid top and the 510 connection top.

Adequate for a slow release, not for a runaway (not that anything would be.) Four holes in the button, vents around the bottom. You can blow through it, with or without battery installed. (I just checked when you asked.)

My phantom does not have the knurling around the top cap like that. The tank appears to be some kind of Aspire product, but I can't tell which.

its an aspire atlantis 2 with a recessed 510 connection on the hybrid topcap phantom. the knurled portion is the bottom of the tank.

Ah but there's the difference. A chef cutting himself would rather bleed to death than dropping his knife or exposing his shame.

These bozos post themselves in quality news outlets hoping for a freaking lawsuit to make m rich. Blaming others for their own lack of knowledge and in doing so making others suffer via one liner politicians trying to score a few votes by imposing bans and regulations to protect the intellectually challenged.

But it goes to show how the "industry regulated itself".

Tbh, I'm sticking with that final note, this day and age, no one wants to take responsibility for anything unless they get money out of it. Money decides EVERYTHING.

Dug up my Phantom box. Mine is official Wotofo, with the authentication sticker and certificate. TUrns out both it does come with a hybrid top cap and I didn't throw it away. Mine is stainless and, in a quick review pf Wotofo's site and several retailers, I did not see one in that Tiffany blue, or with a knurled top cap. If it is a real Wotofo, that's the top cap with the pin, as it is noticeably thicker than the faux hybrid one. I bet clone.

I think the knurling is from the tank and it fell off during the explosion. The power button also is sticking out not flush, maybe it's a clone? Or also broke.

Ah! OK, if the knurled piece is from the tank, then that's the hybrid cap. See my photo above. The thin line below the knurled piece is the edge of the hybrid cap.

I really wish this kid, or his parents since they were letting him use it, had found ECF. I have read on here from day one the problems with sticking an atomizer with a recessed connection on top of a hybrid styled mechanical. The atlantis 2, have one sitting here in the pif drawer, has a recessed connection. The phantom, which is in the Beat Em Up Drawer, has a hybrid style connection and a 510 connection.

Guess what combo was obvious NOT to try?

Yeah that's what I thought. Usually it's hybrid mods with non compatible tanks that people have these issues with. You have to know what you're doing when using unregulated mods.
