Yes sir! Glad to see you back. Missed ya. That's why I suggest investigating the center pin of the 510 on the mod. Could have easily slide over and shorted out the way they are constructed. If they are pressed too far down they can move out of their detente. Sorry to hear you got a lemon. Anyway, look forward to chatting more hopefully about better circumstances.

Smacksy, Dude, you've been around for awhile now. Why do you buy Smok? A guy on another site just did a tear down of one and found that they use the inner portion of a Jeans rivet for the positive connector in their 510. I know they are good looking mods and really feel good in the hands but the quality is just not there. Were it me I would send it back and get another brand. VooPoo, Vapresso, Think Vape, Hcigar, Lost Vape, Kanger, just off the top of my head are putting out reliable mods at similar prices. You can try wiggling the positive pin of the 510 connector around and see if that will eliminate the short.

Welcome to the Hotel California! Mwa hahahahaha. No, seriously, It's a great place. Welcome aboard.

I've tried a few more exotic coils and like yourself been underwhelmed. Could be just me. I don't look for a huge amount of fog. I concentrate more on flavor. The other thing that becomes cumbersome for me is the sheer girth of some of the builds in conjunction with the small resistances they yield. For awhile now I stock 30, 28, 26, 24, and 36 gauge simple wire in Stainless and Kanthal. I either use simple wire or 2 wire parallel wraped in 36 and get results that I am very pleased with. All depends on how much space I have and how much resistance I want. I also vape everything from tight MTL to wide open two coil buckets. I build for everything from mech mods to a four battery car jumper. With just these few wires I can cover everything nicely.
