Yes. One of the two we had did that new coil thing. Ironically, the one I have not (packed and leaving) hadn't done it. Although, in fairness, I hadn't pushed it very hard at all. So it may.
Everything else on it was perfect though, so for the $150+ savings, I'd call that a minor inconvenience. I don't like the dent and screw missing, but yours is the first incident of that nature that I've seen. I'd hope it's not widespread.
It might be worth returning. They're not THAT bad (are they?). I'm not sure...
VERY sorry to read this, Boomer. I hope you can get it worked out.
It took three weeks to get to me. I can get another screw and scratches usually tend to blend in with my vape gear if you get my meaning. And as I mentioned, I'm definitely replacing the board but I was just wondering if anyone else was encountering this issue. Overall, all being the same, I'd place the order again. Such a great device. Might even put some chicken aside for an authentic.
