Something has gone catastrophically wrong with my Grand... I mean like, when it rains it pours kind of wrong.
Yesterday I noticed my reomizer wasn't firing at all. No big deal, I figure, that crappy little rod in the middle probably came loose again. Clean, disassemble, reattach parts, fire... nothing! What?
I threw it on my chinese provari knockoff and ohm'd it. 1.8, as expected. It fires fine!
Yanked the Kick out and threw in the 18650 from the clonevari... works! I guess something's wrong with my kick. Too bad.
Today, using the same coil setup and battery and... hey, what's that rattling? Oh... oh goody, the spring melted. Something shorted out. Pull spring back up, replace coil with smaller, well built coil. Fires fine, but I take a peek inside and sparks are flying off the battery! Oh [expletive deleted]... Yank the battery back out, put in new battery. Super short test fire. Same thing.
[multiple expletives deleted]. Change the reomizer over to a carto. SPARKS! Oh god.
Try to disassemble the reomizer, and it's stuck. Grab the pliers and get a hold of the body, and end up tearing off a chunk of the sidewall.
End result: blown out kick, destroyed (and thrown the heck away) reomizer, unknown shorting issue resulting from multiple cartos/attys that is not a blown out gasket (everything is exactly the way it was after rob repaired my 510 connector a month ago, I do not overtighten things, and heck, it's only had the reomizer on it since I got it back!)
I think I just lost about a hundred bucks in vaping gear in one 24 hour period, plus my reo acting up. This is a really terrible day.
Any ideas on just how to redeem this short of shipping everything back to robert again? If it's gone that far, I'm just gonna replace it with a VV when taxes come back.
