You may have seen my post from last week about a clone Spinner II from ebay burning in my hand. After that, I got a clone Spinner III from MyFreedomSmokes for about the same price. Many people said getting a clone from a reputable seller like MFS as opposed to some random guy on ebay should be safe, so I did.
The clone Spinner III on MFS had great reviews and it seems nobody else has had a problem with theirs, so I got one. It worked fine for a few days, aside from the color of the lights not accurately portraying the battery level. I really enjoyed it and for the first time had a vape that was more satisfying than analogs. I was set!
But today it did something similar to that clone Spinner II from last week... It randomly started firing without pressing the button and burned up my atomizer before I had the chance to unscrew it. It's been about an hour and it is still firing nonstop. Just a solid light on the button, and pressing it will not change a thing. Not even connecting it to a screw on charger will reset it.
I was just using a 1.8 ohm build on a mini protank 3. And I know it isn't a shorting coil because it works fine with my three cheap ego batteries. Why did this happen? I was so sure that this would be a good battery, provided it is from MFS. It wasn't even one of those clones that are made to fool you. It was in packaging with another brand on it (CVT or something I think) and the battery just says Spinner III, not vision. That's what I would call an "honest clone". I don't know why this happened.
What are your opinions? Should I be upset at MFS or is it possibly my fault since I'm more of a beginner?
Sorry that this post sort of turned into a rant.
