I`m not assuming who has damaged what or what has gone wrong leo

Just that threads are easily damaged (especially small fine ones like 7x.5 510`s and there are a lot of cheap shitty attys out there which could damage threads)
It was fine when sold , it was fine for 4+ months . the majority of sellers will just say you buggered it up . And you can disagree and shout about consumer law / sale of good act till the cows come home. You will only get a refund or exchange if the seller decides they want to do that.

Unless you get proof it was sold faulty and go to small claims court the sale of goods act won`t do anything . No one other than a court can force a seller to do any thing . Trading standards won`t care. Its not a criminal offence so they will say go to small claims.

If you go to court unarmed with proof and the seller turns up with a statement from the manufacturer it was made to spec and they believe it is user error or miss use most likely you would loose and have all costs to pay (£25 court fees, travel etc).

I have been taken to court before due to a sale . I was 100% sure I was right and the buyer wrong. It was more hassle and cost to defend what I knew to be right . But I was right so I didn`t back down .
I won they lost . It cost them far more to take me to court than the item was worth .

The chances of a warranty covering a thread are pretty much nill unless its faulty straight from the box. 510`s are very fine , there quite easily diy fck`ed . A person could fck the threads in one day if they were clumsy enough . Screw on a poorly threaded cheap atty and you could kill them.
No consumer law will help, You would have to prove the threads were faulty from the start (its not like there has been a flood of people moaning about failing threads on VS) Trading standards won`t help (they only advise on the law) so paying somewhere to test the quality of the threading and metal then taking the vender to small claims would be the only choice.
The only hope is the vendor sending it back to VS for them to fix and hope VS do it out of good will and don`t charge.
It seams odd VS can`t supply a replacement 510. Ive looked at all the packaging on my VS and no where can I see country of manufacture so chances are with no spares VS don`t make them just have them shipped in from China .

I agree a 3 month warranty on things like the board , switches etc is pretty crap . a 3month warranty on those parts probably wouldn`t stand up in court but it would still take small claims to get that one sorted too.

A kato and a kayfun are the prefect partners . Glws geordie_vaper . If I hadn`t just bought a second kato and 5 more kayfuns Id have been all over this .

Thinner the wire = more resistance
Thicker wire = less resistance
The longer the piece of wire the more resistance it will have so more coils = more resistance as you use more wire.
Thicker wire is easier to use than thinner wire and makes a sturdier coil .

The main questions people will need to know is what is your target resistance and what mod are you using it on ? Do you have something to check the coil resistance with ?

I like my coils anywhere from .7-1.2ohm and I pretty much only use .25mm twisted wire to cover that .

Life would be very boring @spikeyfridge if we all like the same sh*t

@spikeyfridge is correct . My insult was at the slug poo mod not your little custard pot ronaldo

And another good thing . It doesn`t look like 2 pieces of poo with shiny ends
