considering I posted that last night, maybe the hours were past midnight, so touchet, but it was yesterday to me, making the tomorrow, today....
Hey, all things are relative anyway. But yes, two AM is morning here, more so on the other coast....but you already knew that it seems.
OK, have it your way, enjoy it today not tomorrow like you said you were gonna....... I'm used to being lied to by women. And men. And children. And pets.....
"But sir it's my opinion that yer talkin' through yer hat,
the train today to Morrow left today and that is that!"

Hey, we ain't done squat yet....'cept to cut the possibilities in half.
OK next test is a little scary, but it really is safe, hang with me. Hold the button down (light on) then short circuit the connector. Yes, I said 'stuff your car key in there so it hits the pin in the center and the wall at the same time. The over current circuit should kick in and flash the light quickly at you when you do. It should reset when you let go of the button and go back to 'normal' automatically.
I just did it a couple of times to be sure that's how the short circuit protection works. It's a scary, but safe, test.
What happened?
TIA
Yes and no? Depends on the perspective and scale. The world is only round when you're at sea. On shore, the map is flat.
The Mandala of Life may be real indeed, but from any point I find a forward and a backward and that's usually enough to guide my fool's errands.

I'm talking about the socket on top of the unit where the cart screws in. There's a flat brass contact in the center that covers most of the bottom, just under it there's a thin insulator you can see the rim of. That's the center contact. Current returns from the cart to the supply through it (it goes up the body through the threads). Your putting your key (or other metal object) in contact with the side wall and center 'short circuits' the system like a failed cart would.
The second message may point to our problem, assuming the light does not flash with the short?
That's not a 'little screw'. It just looks like one. The slot is not to turn it, it's to let the air get into the center it can go up into the cart when it's screwed in. Notice the hole in the center pin on the cart? Air goes in there up to the furnace where it sweeps the vapor out and up the small tube to the top. If the slot wasn't there the air would be cut off at the mouth of the center pin on the cart.
If that 'little screw' does turn (don't crank on it to see....) and the light doesn't flash with a short, there's your answer. The connection to it has come adrift.
Standing by.

no shorting, shit i have a feeling this is gonna bad turn right now
Do you think i need to order the v2 upgrade kit ?

Bad or good, depending on your perspective. From a troubleshooting POV I'd say we're successful. There seems to be a broken connection in the head, nothing we can resolve further, time for THC to replace it for you. I'd give 'em a call or 'start a ticket' and get that going straight away.
Not necessarily. This is an in warranty failure, a replacement should perform as before. The upgrade will get you the more robust top (not subject to this sort of failure we're told) and will also get you non regulated output (meaning higher voltages when the battery is fresh....hotter vaping). It will also give you the HV option of course, but the battery life will be real short and you'll need higher resistance carts to play there.
Immediately I recommend the warranty route.
Good luck.

I never wanted to use my torch again aside from filling. My TI is collecting dust, unless on occasion of coarse.
I got it from a friend who got it on eBay Definitely the real set serial number and all. So im fucked warranty wise. Man i cant thank you enough, for the time you took aout of your day to help me.
Honestly you answered my question. You rock OF !!

Bummer, although it's at least a building place for the HVD upgrade which now sounds like a much better idea somehow. And finally in stock, too!
And you absolutely can thank me enough, you already have, thank you. And more so, you've made up for a few of the much more common types who I guess are so special they expect it? Please and thank you are not words getting overused anywhere today, as AFAIK. Makes good manners stand out all the more, which is kinda sad......
Glad to help when I can. Got a huge debt there myself you know, lotsa good folks helped me along the way when they could have done otherwise......
Let's keep the other part secret? Makes me glad I didn't use my real name when I came to town......Cowboy Logic saves the day, again.
Best wishes.

Outstanding! E1C, you got your ears on? Listen to the man, he knows the Big Guy for sure. You can "take it to the Bank in Denver" as the saying goes.
Forget the HVD unless you want, pull the ticket or make the call.
What an outfit! Makes a guy feel good about spending his money there, and feel warm about doing it again.....
DubC, ya made my day too! Thanks.

didn't the HVD shorty come with it's own end cap?

The end cap it comes with is for 7.4v config in the original long tube, you got to use the original V2 bottom with the mini tube.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be making many days for you if your lesson plan is clear enough for this student...
About the unit in question. There are too many questions to be asked here. It's much easier to make this customer happy than grind them in to the ground about warranty and using "point something's" and other illegal stuff. He owns the Vape, he wants to invest in the product/development, might as well let him!
If something looks as though it was unscrewed or opened by human error/intrigue it may be a different story.

is the spring load on the bottom cap depressing fully? I'm hoping that this is an isolated and fixable issue

So I obviously was not paying attention, so now I have the HDV and mini tube, but still can't use it. I was holding out for the purple V2 to come out, so I could get that, but now it seems I won't be able to use the mini until I get the V2, so either I give up on the colors, and just go for the black, or wait however long it is ??? to get the purple V2... descisions... 
The HVD in mini mode is tiny!! smaller than a roll of dimes!. Can't wait to be able to try it out.

Oh and i agree, we we're completely successful, figuring out what was wrong. I got to say that alone makes me feel beter, because now i know what my next step has to be. Good looking out my man!
Accidents happen, dont worry its gonna get straitened out and your gonna be fucking psyched !! Maybe this is a sign, to wait for the purple.So I obviously was not paying attention, so now I have the HDV and mini tube, but still can't use it.

yeah, it's not like I have a shortage of vaping devices... just like to play with my new toys . Once I do get the entire set up, I'm going to enjoy this O-mini-cron! I am also a bit impatient, and now knowing the the end cap will be the only part that won't match the mini, I might just go on and get the black model, and maybe spring for purp. when they are ready. I really don't know when that will be... might just hold out for PV to get the PVHES gong stem in, so I can double up the order. When did this start getting so complicated??

oh goodness, HVD shorty is so cute, about to load up some 5 ohm's. Both springs and the old red 3.7s in the long tube work great. Super stealth factor
btw, how should I pre-oxidize these 5 ohm cart's?
