a bit about the copper cartel LE edition:
the button feels pretty stiff but i like it...in general i wish it had a few more threads for the screw to adjust- considering that copper is a soft metal it worries me a bit that so much pressure and movement is happening while being held together by a single screw with 3 or 4 threads- silver over brass into copper...
here's the real fun.....
my copper cartel self fired twice within a week- both times with a Sony VTC3 in it...
first time i set it down, (my button is always flat with the surface so it's not user error) - i noticed the tobh firing so i ripped it off in time...
second time- i left the cartel/stillare in the car while working, came back to a smell of rotting food- opened the glovebox and went into a frenzied panic! the wires were melted, the insulator was partially melted....
mod was ridiculously hot- i think i got to it just in time for an ultrasonic cleaning and a rebuild, lol, and a change of battery....
a few minutes longer and it would need to be sent in for repair....
i spoke to cartel about this-
i blame the tears in the wrapping on my Sony VTC3, as well as the loose wrapping at the bottom- probably an over used battery- the cartel
mod doesn't have an insulator and the battery sits snug within the walls, especially toward the bottom taper of the mod...
after a good cleaning, its all good-
cartel was cool about it- if it happens again i will send it in for repair- i switched to using efest 35A purple only for the cartel/stillare and so far so good.....
I MEAN- WOW! I WAS SCARED MAN....LOL.....
