Howdy all,
So I posted about two threads detailing my initial purchase of the Tauren and the major flaw that I encountered.
I pretty much went over what I believed to be wrong; basically the ball bearing being free inside the cage can make contact with the side of the mod - I pulled it apart last night to get some photos, mostly for the returns process but also to show you guys proof and maybe, someone much more experienced than I; might have a solution (I'm done with this thing).
So as you'll see from the photos it looks like between the silver spring it's arcing which could explain why it only happened while on it's side - the ball bearing and top receiver are also showing concentrated arc scarring.
Now for reference I brought this thing to work as I believed it might still work and wanted to see if just simply pulling apart and putting back together made any difference, I was OH SO WRONG, it fired in a bag (proper carrying case), has torched my cotton (I now have no way to vape for today while I'm at work) and pretty sure it stressed the cell. And just in case people were wondering what that looked like I took a nice video for you all, actually two - in the second one I had to stop as the wick caught fire. Which is probably what ...... me off the most; I went away from my usual Triple 27's that I use for my coils and went with GIANT 3.5mm Aliens and I've been hard pressed to get the wicking right, JUST GOT IT DOWN PAT LAST NIGHT!!!!!
So for everyone considering a Tauren, seriously read and watch all this and please make an educated decision. there might be a fix, it might be just mine, but I AM DONE!!!! with this mod.
I also want to point out that the vape store I got it from were super helpful with the returns process, I won't name them here simply because I don't want them to be tarred with the same brush as this mod - but they were/are truly awesome.
I'll have to find a method to upload the files. any suggestions?
