chykensa If you look at my posts I was addressing pufz.

As an example, I have just sold a Microstick from that run that didn't have the fault, Like all the items I sell I always tell the buyer if they have any problems they shouldn't hesitate to get back to me, the item is my responsibility not the manufacturer.

Come on @scooby keep up 

My mind is slowing Greg as are my fingers, but I try.

And my wife also says I'm trying!!!!!

[Pufz]

quite honestly does it matter who deals with it... the fault lies with the product !!!

this is not something that has happened with wear and tear, user error or abuse... its was made like this !!!

[Pufz]

does it really matter if the fault lies in the manufacturing ???

surely they have a duty to put it right regardless ???

Pepperty if you want i could pop over and remove said anodizing with a small screwdriver the same as i did with the gizmo(drag it backwards it dont dig in )but i cant do it for a few weeks but im not too keen to do it on someone else,s new toy

ohhh interesting, never seen the underside of the gizmo - didn't realize it looked identical to the microstick. I did terribly attempt to scratch through the microstick anoxidising and didn't leave as much as a scratch


I just wished I lived local to you decoy as I'd be on your doorstep in a jiffy haha I'm wracking my brain to think of I know a friend of a friend's husband/ father/ uncle/ brother who's the handy type


It's so frustrating having appalling fine motor skills..but suppose i should be grateful I've managed to recoil considering!

mini vape meet at poular services lol(m6 and m56 junc)

With a little help from Pufz who quite rightly assured me that scraping the anoxidised ring of the top of the 510 connector body was possible and showed me pics.... I send my thanks!!

there's 2 hours I can never claw back - and my palms and fingers are raw......

but what I do have is a brilliant working mod that kicks like the wonky donkey it is! YIPPEE! it's 5x better now, I knew it wasn't firing as it should, yes it was vaping but like a damp squid using the unscrew/ loosen/o ring technique.

Gawd, getting that anodized ring of was absolute murder though, endless scraping for little effect, I really thought I'd never get it removed!

the difference in vape quality is remarkable now, and it's better than I even remembered. thanks everyone and anyone reading who had same issue, let me assure you that soul destroying screwdriver scraping IS worth it!!

Well done Pepperty that's testimony to hardness of the anodising and the toughness of the Microstick.

[decoy]

glad you got it sorted
tiss a bit harsh that they sent them out like that and didnt offer to fix it in any way

[Pepperty]

We got there in the end decoy with a lot of help from our friends!

While I think on, mini ecigs have finally started producing the microstick and then selling when in stock so if anyone is after a microstick they are now on sale via site at $129
