Clone, about half my rda's are clones, I'll be using a few vapergate's, a 28mm Gemini, and a 27mm advocate , also a warhead clone , all those have stainless steel decks, I was hoping the money shot would last a while, as beefy as they're built., I'll hang on to it though, if I trash it, I'll stumble across replacement post upgrades a week later lol..

I hope that's not an authentic. I'd be writing Purge a strongly worded letter if it were lol

Edit: ahh it's a clone, good to hear you didn't just lose like $80

Sucks that the negative post broke, a replacement positive post might have been an option..

No, it's a clone lol, Iv got plenty of other rda's and tanks, so I'm not screwed, just surprised that it broke so soon, anyone know of replacement post sets for these rda's?, I have a chrome one too, better be extra careful with that one... how careful can you be with a precision screwdriver?? Lol

Don't laugh, might actually be workable. You say it's brass. See if you can find some older wire clothes hangers. The newer ones are zinc coated steel, older ones were or did have more brass content. Cut the straight length to use as a flux rod, heat and braze the post back together using the flux. Brazing is similar to soldering, your flux will follow the heat.

Of course, might also seem too much for this case too.

Right, actually I’m not sure what it is, it’ll sit in a box while I use other gear, but anything new at this point will be stainless steel only, the only reason I made this post really was to show what happened to it so early in the game, and possibly find replacement posts, as they’re both removable.,
I’m thinking I probably got 1 of every 100 or so with a flaw in the metal lol, my chrome one will probably never break,
