Great write up!
I’ve been looking hard at some of these spring loaded devices and think they are the next wave. TygerTech with the Springer X may have started it. After reading your issues with the springs it has made me rethink. But all I’ve heard from the Springer X and the ampus have been good. Maybe a few more RDAs to test and see how the spring life is.
I too have been curious about these spring loaded decks but I was thinking that the heat would takeaway some of the strength of the spring. Looks like that’s whats happened here.
Thanks everyone.
@TheTinMan1 I have heard good things about the Springer X but have yet to try one. Could just be I went too big on my coils but when seeing the fused claptons iJoy included I figured they accounted for that. Could also be that I am a picky bastard that has to have his coils just right and heating up evenly, for a lot of people I bet they won’t fiddle as much.
I am not chomping at the bit to try another spring loaded clamped tank but would would be happy too if someone finds a way to do it without loosing tension over time.
I don’t think I mentioned it in the review but I have actually had the Combo RDA for about a month, if I would have written it after a week this problem may not have arouse.
Thanks bud.
Great job beaut, keep up the good work! 
Thank you my dear
Great review, I don’t know how I feel about springs holding the legs of the coils, springs don’t stay springy forever and as some have mentioned the added heat won’t help either.
Yeah, my thoughts as well. I have done a lot of metal work over the years and annealing was always done to to make it more manageable and also make it softer for forming. That effect on springs has to be accounted for.
Yep, I worked in a wedding ring factory for 12 years we had to anneal gold and platinum to make it more malleable, especially platinum, what a tough bugger that is! Don’t even get me started on titanium 
Nice review dude! I can see myself wanting a spring loaded deck for a single coil (if they could get the spring situation under control so they don’t wear out so fast) but that dual coil setup does seem like it could be difficult. Glad I read this, I’m gonna keep watching to see what other spring loaded decks start popping up (see what I did there? 
).
Thank ya thank ya VM 
For single coils it worked well but if using a springy material like SS it is good to tie that knot shown at the end of the leads. This way you can work it into proper place without the leads slipping.
Awesome write up brother, still got the combo II on the back burner but this isnt making me scramble to grab it ive gotta be honest lol…back of the queue… shame on them springs coz I actually love the look of the deck 🖒 nice job as always though 
Nice review bro! I will say I don’t think a spring loaded deck is a good idea for the simple fact that when the springs get Hot and they will, they will soften and deform, thus leading to other issues such as ohm jumping and possible shorting depending on how loose the springs get.
Thanks again brother, always appreciate it
Is the Combo II the one that has interchangeable decks? If so then looking forward to your review on that, I have heard it is decent.
Thanks bud.
Yeah, that was my thought as well and was hoping I was wrong and they figured out a way to get around that.
I would imagine it will have yeah ive not opened it yet but its got the same deck as this one, which…oddly…I seem to remember it being an option on the V1?..was a while ago though
Yeah, very thorough as usual @mjag!
Especially interesting about the weak Springs. And such a shame. Hopefully they get it resolved in short order! Great job pointing it out though, as they can’t fix it if “they don’t know”! 
Agreed. One would think the springs are acting as a “pre-coil” coil (absorbing current and heat) before contact with the coil even enters the picture. Would depend on how much play there was between the “pincher” and the wall… Or if the “pinchers” have a constant contact guide rail type setup… So many ways the tension springs could be eliminated as a factor.
Thank you Sprks.
That’s what I am hoping, I can definitely see a toolless deck being a lifesaver if your on the road without access to your tools but not if it weakens over time.
