Okay so an update on my issues with the Sapor. I don't know if this is a flaw to the design or if I just got two flawed Sapors. The positive center pin and insulator surrounding it. It seems like the center pin screw carries too much heat with the rhodium plating. My first Sapor, I was running a build around .12-.15Ω. I was using strictly 30A batteries: VTC4's & Nitecore 30A/2000mAh inside of my direct to battery mech. Now normally when I thread the bottom button housing onto the mod, there will be a small gap between the button housing and the battery tube part of the mod due to most 18650's varying in size of a couple mm. That's normal to me.
On day 5 of my first Sapor, I changed out my battery, threaded the button housing back on and when I hit the point where there would usually be a gap, the housing kept threading on with a slight bit of resistance. Me being all paranoid of shorting out, pulled everything apart and saw that the center pin had moved up inwards past the insulator. I took the chimney/topcap off the Sapor and I saw that the T-block center post had been pushed up because of this. I hadn't touched the center pin prior to this happening. So I push the T block center post back down and hear an audible click noise and saw that the insulator/center pin had also moved down. Faulty insulator I thought. But then I tried tightening the center pin & it was already tight - it just pushed the center post up again. I swapped out for a higher ohm build and same thing happened.
So after 7 days of owning the first I brought it back to the B&M I got it from, they replaced it for free with a new unit. I throw it on an ipv4 with a .25Ω build at 65w & THE SAME THING HAPPENED! Detrimental flaw to the design of this rda.
