What I don’t get is there must be thousands and thousands of these things but I can hardly find a bad word about it online. Very strange.
I went back and watched some youtube reviews of the DB and while they are all positive, if you read the comments underneath
'over priced'
'poor battery contacts'
'Numerous people have had these units fail'
'This mod is MADE in China, the build quality is not good'
'Made cheaply, should be priced cheaply.'
'Mine has a screen issue.'
'it's funny what you say about the battery door and if it ever becomes lose. mine is actually the opposite and is too tight/difficult to put into place (as if the batteries are too long). and the point where the door meets the mod, where it is flush in your video, there is a sizeable gap btwn my door and mod. I almost have to press down abnormally hard to get the door in place... far harder than demonstrated in your video. I've tried different batteries too and come away with the same result.'
those comments are all 5 or 6 months old...
'great mod but the quality of machining could be better.'
'really shocking battery contacts'
'screen isnt working'
... and this from 11 months ago.
'I love the mod BUT I bought a black one and a champagne one. Both devices were great for 1 week. One evening I was sat at my desk, vaped the black one, placed it upright on the desk and WTF the device started self firing on it's own accord. I thought the batteries were venting at first, then I realised it was the RTA crackling, jeez it's self firing. After that episode I decided to just use the champagne one, I didn't want to risk a house fire. 2 days later, the champagne version did exactly the same, self firing on my desk.'
