TJ's gillingham and smok mini x

[jayjay]

Not a great start!
I pop into the local e cig shop coz i wanted a box mod with abit more endurance. Was recommended the smok mini x. From the word go it started misfiring. Maybe one in 50 or 3 in ten, I'd get short atomiser warning, or a protects warning.
I try several different coils. 6 or 7. Different settings. Same result. So I take it back to the shop the next day and show them the issue, and the guy tells me they will have to test it themselves. So I leave it with them. You know the rest of the story. The following day they assure me it's working and there's nothing wrong with the mod.

I show them within a few minutes it's misfiring. They were Blaming my coils, my juice and or my vaping style. What a joke. As far as there concerned they tested it and the mod is fine. And because of that refused to give me a replacement or a refund.
A joke. Anyone looking to purchase anything in TJ's ecig shop in gillingham I'd consider very carefully there returns Policy. Good luck with it.
Anyone know if this can be fixed, at the moment it's little more use than a paperweight.
Many thanks

Yes. First day and second day after it was "proved" fine

[thebishman]

So they saw it messing about... how can they prove its fine??

[jayjay]

After listening to the nonsense i told them they must replace it, it's the law but they remained firm. It wasn't the mod that was at fault. Even though I showed them. He was adamant it was the coils i was using even though they fire without fault on my provaris. Or because I vape 2 or 3 hits in quick succession occasionally.

I cant see how they can say that!!

They just said they had it overnight 2 people tried it all day and it was perfect. I showed them it wasn't in 5 minutes. They changed coil and hit it about 20 times and it was fine. They said it was my coils or vaping style

[thebishman]

Have you got any other tanks you can try on it?

Yeah I tried 3 different brands of tank with several different brand new coils. Always the same result. Those tanks floorless on my other mods.

[thebishman]

Id definatley go back. Maybe mention you asked for advice on a uk forum and they everyone replied saying its the mod.

I'd be inclined to chuck a brick through their window. Won't fix the mod but by God you'll feel a lot better.

Erm sorry but law must be on your side although it might be a long winded solution.
I think standing outside warning customers on a daily basis and directing them elsewhere might convince them to pay up.Again a pain to do that.
Isn't it sad a local bobby can't step in these days and order a vendor to pay up straight away in these circumstances. I bet they could have many years ago. At least with PayPal you get some backup. Gawd I would have been tempted to smash the shop up grrrrr dck heads!

Funnily enough the glass in the front door is smashed to buggery. I expect someone else had the same treatment. There foolish, i just wont go in there again.
I've got a sigeili fuchai 213 now, dual 18650 and pretty small considering. It hasn't missed a beat with the same coils, same vaping style, it's fine. I don't know what these fuchai mods are like compared to anything else on the market now, but it suits me perfect for the moment. I'll just put the smok mini down to a bad experience.
