Hi everybody i am new here and i just bought the Stingray mod today after my Emech almost blew up yesterday. I Had just gotten my Russian 91% V2 tank yesterday aswell. I just got home and had the coil all setup and everything and popped it on the stingray to give it a hit. Well it started giving off a foul smell. So i stopped and the battery and tank heated up incredibly. And the 510 Connector smelled so bad. I decided to put my Subtank+ On it and it was perfectly fine. No smell,Hit amazingly. I have no clue what happened with the Russian. Any help please?

And yes i have put juice on the coil and inside the tank and let it sit. The Pin on the bottom of the tank looked burned??
Something shorted out. You have a direct connection between the positive pins and the mod or outside of the tank. Don't try to fire it again until you figure it out.
Best guess is it might be the insulator around the pin on the bottom of the tank, but hard to tell w/o seeing it.

Still hard to tell. The insulator were the copper pin screws in... What color is it? It was most likely white when you got it, right? Is it black now?
Forgive me for sounding like a noob with e cigs and mods. But are you talking about the insulator on the Stingray??
No. On the tank. If your mod works with other tanks, the problem probably isn't there.
Oh okay i took the screw out and the inside around where the screw went is completely black
Hmm... The screw is discolored so there was definitely something making an arc in there... Did you maybe drop a tiny piece of coil wire in the top of the mod when you were putting it back together? Something is touching the screw and the side of the 510 threads. Or that insulator is damaged. Is the pin on the top of the mod blackened like the one on the tank?
I did not. The pin on the mod looks fine it just smells bad. Any tip for the smell? If maybe liquid got on the screw of the tank could that cause it?
@Baditude Are you still watching? I'm going to have to log out in about 20 mins. Maybe you have more time to help?
The smell may have been the insulator melting. I don't think juice had a part in it. Did you notice what color the insulator was when you got it? Most of them are teflon which is white. Is it white on the other end where it comes through the deck?

Although it hasn't happened to me, it sounds like the insulator melted from an internal short in the Russian. Maybe Google "insulator melted in Russian or Kayfun" and see what you find.
I have a Russian v2 as well...the positive post like to spin unless you tighten it down with the little tool they sent. this could cause a short if it spun and touched something it wasn't supposed to. I had to use a pair of pliers to hold it while I tightened it on the bottom
I looked at the other side a little more and there is a black streak on it. It looks black and a little gunky inside the screw hole. I pulled a thin piece of what looked like rubber?
If you can find a replacement insulator, then yes.
You still need to find why the insulator burned out in the first place or it could happen again. See Petrotech's post above.
I honestly have no clue how it did. I just put it on the mod and fired and then it started heating everything up.
