Hadaly clone help, please

[djs]

My non-squonk SXK Hadaly arrived yesterday. (FT - 8 days)

First, the O-rings on the drip tip self-destructed as I pulled it out.
Second, the top won't press down flush to the base.

All in all, quite poor. It's vaping OK (0.5ohm @ 25-30-ish watts) but the base business is annoying and leaky too.

I might strip out the coil and see if it fits properly then.

I can see the bin coming into play at this rate.

Good man. Can you post it to me in a suspicious brown envelope with a made up price which is more than what the real price was putting me in the firing line for import tax? That'd be good.


Lordy, lordy.... what ARE Fasttech playing at?

My latest fasttech order of Hadaly clone was machined quite well, its the O-atty that is shot to pieces! the squonk pin keeps dropping out and along with it, the insulator and positive post.... sounds like its luck of the draw!

I've Emailed Fasttech and suggested if they suspect they might be selling shitty troublesome clones, could they please include a quality hammer to dispose of said troublesome items in an appropriate manner. Well it is free shipping from Wan Hung Dung, so no postage cost for the biggest hammer available from them. 
Might be an idea, for Vapefest djs , anyone with a troublesome atty, bring it along, I'll bring the hammer. Could be a bit of light entertainment.

Edit: Looks like Pepperty could be needing the demolition accoutrement too.

did you get the big adjusting hammer on it?
I bought two SXK Hads and I replaced the o-rings on both with slightly narrower ones, its not that the caps come off that regularly...but they were so tight I couldn't them off to rewick.

Yes! That's what's wrong with it isn't it .. the O-rings are too fat.

I'll see what the spares box has.

Another reason I am so grateful for this forum is, obviously, I don't have a practical cell in my body

Pile of books - yes. Microsoft office - yes. Teach 30 kids - yes.

Change a plug or lightbulb?

Be serious

That's the problem with some people too many brains not enough common sense, as my friend has just told me " he has got the brains to tell you the square root of those pickled onions in the jar but cant figure out how to open the jar"   

put on a pair of marigolds and run the hot tap across the lid of jar simples 

[unclegromit]

Have to honest not had a single problem with any of my Hadalys.
And I have a few.
But then I didn't buy any of mine from China.
