What happened to it? I've had one 5 months and still going strong love mineI haven't owned the above mod but recently bought the vaporesso armor pro... It lasted a week....
JUNK.
There's a 3 month warranty on it but yeah 5 months now all good use it dailyJust stopped working one afternoon. I was very happy with it!
Good that it appears to be working.
The fact you've taken it apart could have 'reset' a dry solder joint, and blowing it out could have got rid of a lump of cack (technical term) - either of which could cause both issues.
Mechanically and electrically I like to consider myself relatively competent - but I'm totally the wrong person to ask about the reputation of tanks
What do you mean by "reset" a dry joint.
Throughout my 45 year engineering career I have been led to believe that the only way to fix a dry solder joint was to re solder it correctly.
Any other repair than this could at the least fail again, or at worst damage equipment / lead to a fire.
I once fixed an Xbox 360 by putting it in the oven on a low heat to soften the solder and it worked a treat went on strong for another 18 months which is a better life expectancy than when they were newWhat do you mean by "reset" a dry joint.
