It took about a week for Cole to get to email about a Splinter that stopped working but they took care of the problem as soon as he was able to get to my email.

yeah, I figured. Seems like a one-off since I haven’t been able to find any other issues like this

I am trying a Splinter v2 for the first time....I did not want to flash diff firmware...so using my G43 mod setup (myevic) to run it for now. I am using the power mode and using at just above or just below 30w.
I just press and vary my draw a bit...but ending slightly harder....after about 10-12 seconds I get a good hit. I was trying to feather the heater button...but it did not seem to be necessary. I am trying to get a decent hit in less than 10 seconds. Is this possible running the vape this way?

This is mostly how I use mine. I find for low power levels like 30 W I like to go for 15 -20 seconds ( I have big lungs). Not exactly feathering, just another press to reset the cut off timer. I use the Tubo firmware and don't activate cruise (seems unsafe to me). Bump up just a watt or two and it will go faster. Draw strength controls temperate and slower is hotter, especially when you go past 10 sec. Ramping up pull strength right near the end gives a killer hit. I've experimented with TC on a Wismec P80 but the temp regulation isn't enough to really change the experience. For this mod TC acts as a safety cap on temp.
I’ve been trying to polishing this thing like it’s the 1st of December. It’s definitely some kind of glue or epoxy. I really hope they’re not using lacquer on these
when I go for longer hits I definitely get an odd taste. It’s the same taste that I would get when I used my Sai, so I know it isn’t the bud.
I definitely needed to burn off this v2 even though the site says that it’s done in the factory now. The burn off was really bad, it was like I was vaping a normal bowl

So I hit it with some paint thinner and dynawax. Didn’t get all of it off, but I’m happy with it. I’ll probably get the rest off next time I wax it.

I believe that I have a new splinter and not a use one.....so just went through the proper burn off (thanks for the linkage Summer).....
Smell is mostly gone.......still a small bit left. So until I hear back from the person I got it from....I am assuming this is new and never used...so it needed the full burn off.
I also have a question.....a couple things I was worried about is what type of epoxy is being use....did they change that at any time in all the RBT vapes?
Also I am a bit worried about the mica piece and particles. I have a Z on the way and would like to make a glass piece to swap it out with the mica one.

I don't know anything about the epoxy.
The only Chinese Splinter that had mica instead of ceramic was the first run of the bubinga V1. They temporarily called newer ones the V1+ for a while to make it clear that they talking about the newer ones. The blackwood V2 and ZV2 have been ceramic.
I have a bubinga Z and a wenge Z but had not entertained concern about the mica piece.
For Splinter burn off I always fire at a high wattage while blowing in each of the air holes. I also blow through an empty inserted stem.

Yeah no reason to be concerned, and as the boss said, the one you have is ceramic not mica. Glass was actually used in the early beta Zions, though the mica was found to be superior for several reasons... I guess now ceramic is the best of all worlds! Search threads for epoxy?

I bought one from Sourcemore (via Cheap Vaping Deals) couple weeks ago at this price. I bought the gloss gold, which was available in their US warehouse, so it took about a week to arrive. Legit, works great.
