Wow dwcraig1, if they want it shipped back, it will cost more in shipping than the price of a Bantam. And I don't know how you are going to do a video unless it is a time lapse video.
I made a short video of me measuring resistance between the positive battery connector and ground, around 40 ohms.

Wow, that is really low. I just checked mine which is good and negative lead on positive (reverse bias) is open on my meter (greater than 20MΩ) Forward bias with negative on negative on the 200KΩ reads 100KΩ. And 20MΩ range reads 1.8MΩ. That makes sense since the voltage applied would be different for different ranges. This particular meter uses a 9v battery.

Here is the final response from FT, if the supplier is SXK well......

"Sorry for my message, may I ask does it fire? The supplier suggest turning it off when don't use it. May I ask how long would it last if turn it off? If it could fire, but the battery can't last a long time, we can offer you a partial refund as compensation, is that acceptable? Thank you."

I told them to give it to me as it's better than nothing. (but not much)

I used Kanger Subtanks pretty heavy between 2015 to 2017 and then moved on to other attys. I pulled out a Subtank Mini recently when I got my SXK Moonraker E8 a few weeks back with a RBA. They still vape very well. And I forgot how very little they leak (virtually nothing). Bottom fill helps a lot here. As top fill tanks tends to leak when you fill them.

I bought those Fasttech top fill for the Subtank Mini and they do leak when top filling. So you are better off still bottom filling. I also forgot or didn't realize how short the 510 pin was on those Subtanks. They are like 3.8mm long and the standard is 4.6mm. Some mods they won't even make a connection.

I also pulled out my original XvoStick DNA60 and I never attempted to connect it up to EScribe until now. And it doesn't. Must have been like that since day one. Windows doesn't even see anything connected. Must be a bad data connection. Charging works. The older XvoStick versions, the bottom drops down and everything is mounted to the bottom plate. I don't know if that is still true or not. dwcraig1's XvoStick connects to EScribe just fine. ;)

I had better, I paid double for it. Well sort of.
