So excited, got a new tank I ordered, but wait...

I've had a lot of luck with my Aspire nautilus. It's treated me very well, so I decided to repay it's great service by ripping the bottom spring out of it. Not on purpose mind you. I was cleaning it last week, and noticed it was really dank looking at the bottom where the spring is. I decided I knew what I was doing and broke the spring. Even with this bright maneuver by yours truly, the nautilus kept on working.

I decided I better order a new one just in case. I found one on Ebay, avoiding those $18.99 ones on purpose because you know the costlier vendors have the real deal, right?

Well it came today. Instantly upon opening I was taken aback at how shiny it was. Then I noticed the adjustable air flow ring on the bottom looked different. What do you know? It was!! It was a thin metal strip with a hole punched through that not only could you turn, but you could also move it up and down. I started looking at it more carefully, doing the old hold it next to the old nautilus eyeball check. Good grief... The workmanship on this one makes me think a right handed person made it with his left hand. It's just that bad.

Can you say bummer?

So how much did you save on that eBay deal of the century, now having to buy it twice?

Me<<<< stupidly paid $29.99 for it. Noticed 101vapes had it on sale this week for, I think, $23.99. How could you tell I already ordered another one?

Can you say, "send it back!" You don't need to say why, just return it -- and you don't even have to pay for shipping. Print the return slip it at your computer.

There's a return slip option on Ebay? Or, is that part of the dispute process? This is my first time having an issue.

Check the sale and see what their return policy is/was. Even if they don't have one, just go to your dashboard and see your purchase history. Under that transaction select "return this item." Follow the yellow brick road from there. LOL

Cool, thanks man.

Cool, thanks man.

Update this thread and let me (us) know how it turns out.

Much to my surprise, the seller refunded the money back to my paypal account today. I don't know if he's doing on purpose or what, but I've asked him for his mailing address twice now so I can send it back to him.

I forget to mention in this thread, the one he sent me gives some real funky ohm readings on my ohm meter. 1.6 head for the Nautilus gives a 3.0 ohm reading and 1.8 gives a 3.5. Even when I put one of my own in it, strange. What's really janky is the code on the back said it was an authentic Nautilus.

I should post pictures of the poor thing.

Often times sellers will refund you and not even want you to send it back. Anything to avoid a possible negative feedback! Viva ebay! LOL. I had a feeling this would turn out this way. Cheers.
