Russian 91% V2

[ibndevilish]

Okay I have a Russian 91% V2 with the old pin from the first Russian. So every time I got to put my micro coil on and try to attach the wires the top of the deck moves on it, then I have to line the deck part back up with the insulator and try again and I get one screw on and the deck will move. I have had it together with the first one I had and used it and then the deck moved and caused my provari to give a error to let me know something was wrong and in fact the deck moved while using it and the wire came off the screw. So contacted the vendor about the issue along with it leaking from the 510 connector. So they say send it back and they contacted me back saying it was a defect so they send another one. Well got this one and the deck moves still. I didn't add juice as if the deck moves not going to take a chance with it.

So the vendor says it's a know issue. Well they don't state that on the web site, if they did I wouldn't have gotten it. So wrote them back and want a refund. Then they said the deck is made this way. Now I personally have never read anywhere about the deck is suppose to move. Now was the Russian designed to have the deck move?
Here is what they wrote and I'm copying and pasting but won't say who the vendor is at this moment.

(Vendor reply )I have also just read through this entire thread and as a Russian user, the reason the deck is allowed to move is to allow the insulator to be put in place to keep the entire deck from shorting. This is part of the design intentionally, and while it can be difficult to work with at times it is necessary to keep the device firing instead of just shorting. Hopefully this help to clarify. Please let us know how you would like to proceed

My insulator is in place so have no clue what this man is talking about. Thinking blowing smoke up my ass. So any help would be appreciated

Have you tried buying a overhaul kit from fatdaddyvapes.com.

It will come with a new positive block and a center post. Unfortunately the center post it comes with is fixed, bu they do sell replacement center post for Russian 91's.

I had a similar experience with a kayfun clone one time. Since it was a clone i didn't expect much from the start but after purchasing that overhaul kit it worked like a dream.

I paid $102.00 for this crap so I shouldn't have to fix it. But I wanted to see if anyone knew if it was made this way for a reason which I don't think so, I think it's a way for the vendor to cover the ass on this one and I think they are hoping I'm stupid enough to fall for it which I'm not. I purchased a clone of the kayfun and the deck doesn't move. I'm asking for a refund on this piece of shit and they better give it to me as others have the same issue. I have never purchased a clone before now..So some times clones are not a bad thing But thank you for the suggestion anyways as this hunk of crap is going back and they can keep the Russian

Not a problem man. ANd yeah I've heard that the v2 has a whole lot of issues. People prefer the the first Russian the most.

I have heard the same thing.. Just got a message from a great reviewer and they agree that it shouldn't move. Just did a build on my clone and it didn't move a bit, did screw up on how much cotton as I got a burned taste..lol so have to rewick the darn thing but it works good lack my stupidity. But at least the deck is stable on it.

Well i hope the vendor does what's right and gives you your money back.

I hope they give a full refund as between here and other places on the net lot's of people with this issue. If they don't give me a full refund I will post every email I have from them showing they knew about this and then try to go back and say it was made this way..BULLSHIT it was. I told them I would never buy the juice anymore and I was a loyal customer but not anymore. So going to be looking for a new juice supplier also

Thats not a problem ive had with my russian. Ive got the v2 and 95% of the people i know with one have had problems ranging from the deck area to the spring loaded center pin throwing resistance readings off. The only problem ive had is that eclipse from space jam comes across more like hot coco and it drives my wife up a wall.
On the upside; ive been told the v2 russians should be collector items soon. Since they only made so many before all these repoted problems and they stopped making them.
I sitll have one new in the factory sealed box.

Well they can keep it even if it turns out to be a collectors. I'm not into collectors stuff just want something to work. So it's going back, tried for over 3 days to try and fix it and still will move or the 510 pin will move if I get a build on it so it makes the ohms all out of whack and can't use something like that on a mech mod that isn't regulated.

I hear ya. If you cant trust it you cant use it.

Did you try taking out the 510 adjustment screw, and tighten the larger screw that goes through the block. all the russians i have v1 & v2 you had to do that,, then they work fine.

Good Luck!!!

I sure did..Tried for way to many days to get the thing to work. It's on it's way back from where it came from (HELL) joking. Many people have had this same issue with them. Never seen anything like it. My hubby even tried to get the screw tight and it just wouldn't stay tight and then the 510 screw kept coming lose while I was putting it on my provari. So good by russian..lol

 

[shynsly]

Sorry that didnt work for you. Trully a shame as they are my favorites!

Wish you luck in your vaping adventures!!!!

The pin is a 2 piece adjustable right? I thought I had the same issue until I took the center pin out to see that it was 2 parts. Unscrew the small screw and tighten down the main "big" screw and the deck will lock in. Then screw in the small screw for atty connection. Clear as mud?

 

[shynsly]

Yep thats the trick! Use a good needle nose plier to hold the block and tighten the inner screw, then put the adjustable 510 screw back in.
