SB and Vivi Novi- 6V meltdown!

[Charlie C]

OK, ordering my SB today but.......
I saw this youtube video and Nick was saying that the Vivi Nova's made his SB battery and spring MELT!!!
It happened twice to him.

SAFETY FIRST- THE VIVI NOVA STORY - YouTube

Anyone wish to way in on this???????
Must be a VN issue not the SB I would think.

1. either the battery was damaged/injured/dieing anyways
2. the vivi had a hard short, which could happen to any product, not just a vivi.
3. SB is mechanical mod, without shutdown production if ohms in coil dropped (which can happen) too much. Or overdrawing on the battery. The SB did what it was supposed to do with its only protection (melting spring)
4. He was using a kick inside SB and vapes at like 10 watts. Read #3.

= too many variables

He's continued using vivis (I've seen them in his newest videos). And he used it on darwin and provari but never mentioned if he ever got a short again on them from the nova, which leads me to think basically it wasnt the nova alone.

Well, there you go.
OK that makes sense.

I'ts weird that it happened twice though.

The post on the vivi is very long and crushes the insulator on the sb positive connection. Don't screw it down so it bottoms out. You will damage the insulator

and the silver bullet is not mechanical. The switch is electrical.

"My SB just shorted out ... let me try it again to make sure". Kinda reeks of stupidity in my opinion.
