Don't think anyone on here has them but they've been recalled due to a potential arc venting issue

Bit worrying when he started prodding it with the metal and it sparked.

Not good, wish he put a volt meter on the case, but also think he underestimated the risk you would just need to stand that next to a metal case mod for it to go. I could be just that unit, if you have one put a volt meter one the top and bottom plates to check the voltage is 0.

They've issued an urgent recall on them all vb. it was terrifying when he shorted it out at the end. Yeah a quick voltage test would have sufficed. Watching him do it once was bad enough but then again and again? Eeeek

£300 quid for basically a minikin is a rip off anyway, stab wood or not.
It seems it was all of them as the man in the shed tested his and it sparked
