SMFH! People just gotta stop buying their shit with their garbage 510's. Then and only then will they start using a better 510. As long as people keep buying their junk and making excuses for them nothing will change.

Doubt they will take it back but I contacted Vapenw

First of all, this really stinks!
And Wismec (and all other manufacturers) should have the brains to use the best 510 connector available since that is the part that really has to stand the test of time.

As far as returning it to VapeNW let us know what happens please.

From what I have heard, they ain't big on returns period!

That is just fucking stupid of wismec, press fitting the main mechanical spot of the mod ensuring eventual failure, dumb assholes

I like his designs. The Reauleaux was ground breaking. It's the execution of his designs that suck. If they would use quality materials their mods would be tough to beat.

the looks? sure, but the actual parts designs like the 510 pin? or too thin wiring? nah. maybe it wasn't him that picked those parts but the cheap corner cutting on their mods is pretty bad.

Exactly, that's my point. He makes a great looking mod but then some bean counter fucks it up by building it with shit materials. Hey, what do they care? People still keep buying their mods.

if only people would do more research but it's not the only industry that suffers form it. plenty of shit products are top sellers. it's the power of advertising and them most likely paying off reviewers.

It's the power of advertising but also the willful ignorance of consumers.

Not only that but I also heard that many vape manufacturers will not honor warranties on product bought from VapeNW because they charge wholesale prices to retail customers on a lot of their mods. I don't know if it's true. But they seem to have the reputation of FT among vape manufacturers.

Sometimes cheapest price isn't the best.

Let us know how it goes.

My solution to save the 510 on my mods is...

http://vapespider.com/?s=510+fin

Not everyone likes them as the add a few mm to the height of your tank/rda, but I like 'em.

If you look up cheap in a dictionary is wismec in the list yet?

It will be in the 2018 editions of most dictionaries.

Wow, that really sucks. I hope that doesn't happen to mine, but if it does, I hope it's within the return period that MyFreedomSmokes has. If not, I guess I'll be using some heavy duty epoxy to try and fix it. It's my first Wismec product and taking this into consideration, probably my last. Don't want to have to worry about this kind of BS. Makes me wonder what corners were cut on the internals. This kind of thing makes me feel better about spending the money I did on my Therion mod because that thing is solid as a rock.

UPDATE 1: VapeNW will take it back as it has a 90 day warranty however it will be returned on my dime and it will be reduced by 20% due to a restocking fee

@Puff Don't tighten your attys too hard and don't leave it in your pocket, it's likely that mine weakened over time from screwing and unscrewing attys and having it in my pocket.

It was the only way they could find to REDESIGN it and make it worse than the previous version.
to be fair, it's a lot closer to what other mods use. the positive pin on it is pretty much the same as ijoy and smok. as is the grounding. it's the negative threading enclosure being press fitted on.
More companies should ground off to the 510 enclosure not that it's needed, but i feel it works better. i mean all things considered it's pretty typical to ground off in the dirt for portable power. the battlestar grounds off to the 510 and i haven't hear a single issue on it and it performs great

Wow that looks shitty!
My experience with 510s on Wismec devices has been non eventful.
However, the joytech 510s are another story altogether.
If mine pulls out I'm gonna drill it out and put a real 510 on there.
Replace the wire with PTFE coated pure silver wire as well.

That blows.

I am looking suspiciously at the one next to me. I bought this one as another work beater and was more concerned with how it would deal with dust and stuff, but now I will have to worry about it falling apart on me.
