Well guys,
I have a problem with my Panzer mod Clone.
The positive pole is sometimes just randomly loosening up. This causes the Battery to fire constantly.
One time it happend when the mod was in my Jacket. The result was a melted selicone element (that black thing in the Plume Veil where you put the Drip Tip).
I just vaped in front of my Pc and wondered why I heard that fireing noise even though i was not using it. I luckily realized that the screw was loose again.
I now always take out the Battery while traveling, but cmon why is something like this happening? It feels really risky for me to leave the battery inside the mod even when I'm at home.:(

Dont own a panzer but since nobody else has said it yet, yeah, if its autofireing pull the battery out.. best case scenario your just gonna keep nuking toppers.

But your op is kind of confusing to me. Like I said I dont own a panzer clone but isn't the positive pin adjustable solely for battery rattle? so do you mean your problem is the switch contact? is it possible to put a little rag around those contact(s) and snug them up with some pliers(softly)?

    The positive is meant to be in contact with the battery , it's your adjustment for battery length . If you meant the negative/switch loosens , put a few drops of loctite on the threads and tighten it all the way . Mine was loose when I got it but I tightened it all the way and haven't had a problem since .

    Panzer clones seem to always have issues, even the authentic isn't that great, sure it looks cool but you aren't buying a fancy paper weight you are buying a mod, I suggest getting a different mod altogether.
    And you know this how ? My " paper weight " has far less issues than my Stingray's , actually it has no issues whatsoever .

    weird.... when my Panzer + pin gets loose it wont fire at all since the + post isnt making contact with the battery.... but on the otherhand if the switch contact get "loose" and extends a tad then there is a chance of auto fire since the contact is higher than the insulator in the switch assy.

    tighten up the contact in the switch assy ( make sure its below the insulator).... problem solved...

    I have a Panzer and an Overdose ( both have the same switch assy) and never an issue from either....

    I guess one needs to know how to set them up correctly to avoid issues :)
     
    Hey, no offence and no need to get all upset because I think the panzer is prone to problems. I'm glad you got one of the good ones. I have a Panzer and it is by far my worst mod and I know several others who have both authentic and clone Panzers and they have had nothing but problems, especially with the pin. Look it up and you'll see tons of people complaining about their pin and the switch getting too hot. And I also have a stingray and have had not one issue with it, maybe I just got a good one though, lucky me.

    If it is the contact pin that is on the bottom of the mod than yes, you will want to tighten it to the floor. If it is the pin at the top than no, that pin is to be adjusted to be right on top of the battery so when you shake your mod your battery stays in place. I hope you get it up and running. Even if it seems you fixed the problem I would still keep an eye on it for a little while just to be safe. Take care and happy vaping.
