Honestly I really can’t use them because just playing with the two afc’s makes the cap slip up and off. The other annoying thing is that it’s next to impossible to adjust one of the afc’s without moving the other afc ring. I can hold the cap done but it gets really hot. But I shouldn’t have to do that to any new rda.
I’m really sorry to hear that. I’ve had a much better experience with the reps I’ve dealt with there.I got a reply from Hellvape regarding the 3 Dead Rabbit Pros that I bought that have loose top caps to the point they’re so loose I can’t use them because they fall off. The two afc rings are also so loose that it’s impossible to adjust one without moving the 2nd one. Just poor qc by Hellvape with this lot that I bought from sourcemore.
They basically told me too bad - to quote “engineers said to buy bigger O rings”.
What????!!!!
I did try the thicker o rings in the accessories bag without luck. Too thick.
I’m incredibly disappointed because I’ve been hugely vocal about how much I love their RDAs especially the Dead Rabbit line up on this and other forums. I could probably open a store with all the Hellvape products I have.
So I guess I’ll try the o rings off from other attys I have and hope that I get lucky.
I don’t own one and have never tried one.Am I the only one here that doesn’t own a Pico of any kind? I’m feeling like I should buy at least one now lol!

This is the strangest looking soldering/welding iron I’ve ever seen available at Ali Express lol!!!!!

I’m surprised you don’t get free shipping for that price. Also, why is adult signature added for a soldering station?LOL, welcome to something not so new..........
FWIW........... Ginger Industries has been selling their, ummm cough-cough, soldering stations for over a year.

I have never owned a Pico, bottom w/v buttons on the bottom and limited atty width pretty much caused me to lose all interest in the line.Am I the only one here that doesn’t own a Pico of any kind? I’m feeling like I should buy at least one now lol!

Sorry to hear that, but glad you posted about it. I'll be avoiding their products then.I got a reply from Hellvape regarding the 3 Dead Rabbit Pros that I bought that have loose top caps to the point they’re so loose I can’t use them because they fall off.

The limited atty width on the older Picos is a drag indeed. I've got a 23mm RTA crammed on there now and its just barely rubbing against the battery cap. Pico Plus can fit 25mm though.I have never owned a Pico, bottom w/v buttons on the bottom and limited atty width pretty much caused me to lose all interest in the line.
It seems like the after sale customer service standard is pretty low for big vape hardware resellers and manufacturer's, but to not offer support for a defect on a brand new item is crazy.
Hmm haven't heard of them. When I search for "H.E. RBAs" I'm getting lots of irrelevant stuff. Would you mind sharing their website or more info? I'd love to have a look...not that I should be buying more stuff, but still.H.E. RBA's
That's a very good idea.If Sourcemore sold them to her then I’d contact them and see if they would exchange them.

Thanks for clarifying and taking the time to share those manufacturers, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely bookmark your post and have a look.It's not a manufacturer. H.E. = high end gear (mods and RBA's). High end RBA's normally run $100+.
some manufacturers..........
RTA's: SvoëMesto Kayfun's (Prime, KFL), Atmizoo (Tripod and Aer), KHW Mods (Dvarw MTL and DL), Squape (Arise), Crafter's Den Pocket
RDA's: Atmizoo, Hussar, Vicious Ant, FLVR, Van & Del, DnV (Drip'n Vape)
There are many more mfrs, those are just the ones I own. I don't own any Chinese RBA's. Had some clones, gave them all away.
Most of the high end RBA's sellout fairly quickly. Some can only be purchased via Facebook private groups. Most companies replenish stock (some slowly/some quicker).
The question is what are you buying, the real thing or a cloned pico...Spend time, always spend time on AliExpress to read feedback, before you buy anything at all.This is the strangest looking soldering/welding iron I’ve ever seen available at Ali Express lol!!!!!
