Hay, bought the Defcon, and was really excited about it specially because of the price, but the Defcon was not what I expected. There was tool marks, and grinding swirls on the bottom, then the air hole looked like it was done with a nail and hammer, but the leaking was bad. The kicker for me was I tested the glob of solder in the bottom the tank that was in direct contact with the ejuice, and it tested positive for lead!! Not something I want to be mixing with my juice, and putting into my lungs. Bad enough I smoked for over 25 years. I am trying to do this whole thing healthier, and lead is not the way to go. I sent it back to Chopper and got a full refund!!! As for Chopper, he a a super cool guy to deal with, and NO complaints with him, I just did not like the Defcon, and we are all entitled to our own opinions!! But the lead thing just sealed the deal for me. I am sure that lead is present in more things then I could imagin, but I know that the Zenesis don't have any!! I test the solder with a lead test kit that I got from Amazon, and it was the best $12 that I have spent!!! If anyone is interested go the Amazon and just search lead test kits!!!

Thats a pretty rough thing to throw out there with one test... gotta wonder if you got a false positive which definitely happens and esp so with solder due to the high amt of tin. I have a very hard time believing Chopper would use leaded solder...his level of integrity/honesty has been SO beyond straight up.

And he's been as upfront as can be about leaks and redesigns too and asked for the opportunity to redo any w/ issues. Anyone who puts A LIFETIME warranty on their product? And at such an affordable price point? Says an awful lot to me. I did a ton of reading and asking in deciding on my first real RBA and is seems the majority of S&S customers love the Defcons, so factor in the price and knowing if at any point I have an issue they will fix it for free? Wont be my only I'm sure as I'm a gadget freak, but sure seems to be a solid first.

One of my pups does the same thing...she will get right in my face and then do the lip smack thing... but only when I'm vaping RY4! I guess she prefers a caramel vape...

I just blew some Pluid vapor in my dogs face twice, she jumped off the couch and turned at me and gave me one of these.....
