How can you be sure it is not.

Actually the pictures although not perfectly focused shows pretty well what I am seeing throug that "hard angled" crack, and in that opened unit....SF Giant said:...there is absolutely zero signs of melting on the grommet and not even a hint of burnt smell.....after taking a look at my unit it has pretty well eased my fears of this issue on MY (newer) unit

(I do as low as 180)
We'll I tried to get you on another vape but you were in a rush and on a budget and it was a/b/c .sessnet said:Got a NO2 that I paid only $100-ish for on amazon. I realized I was risking it because of the warranty/sub $180 thing.
Soon after ordering, I read all this stuff on FC about the plastic smell, and I knew I wasn't in for any goods news.
Got the NO2!! Open it up - and sniff the inside.SmelledREEKED like liquid rubber (or the soft, cheap kind)!!!!!!! Fuck....
Let it 'burn' off at a low temp, for about 30 minutes. Guess what, smell still there. I knew it, I fucking hate this thing now.
What I still don't understand is, can you "burn off" a rubber smell? You can't. You will only burn off more rubber. $100 was spent for an expensive lesson in doing a tiny bit of more research first, and not playing risky games like "I sure hope I get one that isn't screwy".
My advice to anyone - don't try to buy the NO2 for sub 180$, since if it's fucked up (and good chances it will be), you will regret it.
And for anyone that doesn't notice the smell - either you got lucky and got one without the rubber, or you don't mind inhaling possibly the most toxic shit in this world. :/
My girlfriend said something that made me think twice. "What if it's a fake/counterfeit one"?
1- Every NO2 does come with a large and complete manual! You further prove the point about "UNAUTHORIZED Sellers"... you also just proved that you got a ROGUE unit.. one that was made by someone else... or else they would have an NO2 manual to insert in box.sessnet said:Thanks man! But I think I should mention
#1. The No2 doesn't come with a manual. The "quick start" guide mentions nothing about burning/soaking stuff. I got all that info on my own.
#2. I'll bet anyone ANYTHING that the smell I am smelling (liquid/spongy rubber - sort of like a car tire smell) CANNOT be 'burned' off. If anything, it would increase.
#3. If anyone has any doubts that these are smelling weirdly, just buy one of the ones on amazon for $100 or so. If you get one that DOESN'T smell like a burnt car tire inside, I will trade you for mine - THAT DOES smell like it!

how can I tell if this is indeed the real thing?
If the same factory that made these just released 'more', how would you know the difference? I have heard too many stories about the same factory selling the exact thing cheaper.
At work - so I hope to post pictures tonight.ktx49 said:well, for starters can you provide the stuff i asked for previously?how can I tell if this is indeed the real thing?
