Thanks, that is a great deal!

I purchased a 25R from a local Vape Shop and unfortunately it didn’t resolve my issue.

I now believe it’s a contact issue between the Driver and the pill.
I’m having a hard time getting solder to bond with the aluminum pill.

You don’t have to solder the driver to the pill to get an electrical contact. I have a number of S2’s where I soldered thin strands of wire to the driver side, snipped and bent the wires over the side of the driver, and then pushed that side of the driver first into the pill before pushing down on the other side of the driver. A bit of solder on the bent portion of the wire makes it more form-fitting and a solid press fit into the pill.

Before I did that I also soldered the driver to the pill and it was hard to do, ugly, and difficult to remove the solder from the threads at a later date.

I was wondering about the driver/pill issue in this thread but I thought it was just thread drift

No. Pretty sure.
