So this is something I came across on my patriot 2 and I'd assume the previous patriot models are the same. This happened to me awhile back before I had a profile here and I thought I'd put it up for the masses. I'm not sure if this has been addressed here at all so my apologies if I'm beating a dead horse.
I went to clean my patriot and everything was going fine. I blew into the post holes to get the water out and I felt something fly by my ear. I looked around my bathroom and found a teeny tiny pin that belongs inside the bottom portion of the post as a base to hold the wire in place when you tighten your screws.
Upon further inspection I had already blown the pins out of the other posts too! After a good deal of nervous searching I was fortunate enough to find them ALL and replace them. One was sitting just millimeters away from my sink drain...PHEW. since then I make sure to hold my thumb over the top of the post holes when I blow into them, and this solves the problem.
This struck me as odd. It seems like a high end rda such as the patriot would have solid posts through and through. I can't really say if this has any effect on the vape quality, or if there's any particular reason innovape made their product this way, but there ya have it.

super stoked for that. the patriot is a solid atty and it's served me well, but all things considered it's pretty basic. The way they did the afc on the patriot 2 is a bit of hassle having to pick off the o rings every time you wanna put on/take off a ring. I usually just keep the rings off and lift the top cap a bit when I want more airflow. I think I'll end up being happier with the plume veil.
