Was this a LANPHAN model?

Damn sorry to hear that happened to you. Hope only that the piece of shit mantle was the only casualty of their poor quality control.

Honestly I had my doubts about Terry when he publicly threw a tantrum on this forum over some random guy mentioning future4200 through Alibaba - which I did not understand at all because what do they care as long as they are getting business. The whole fight club discount thing was such a meme in my eyes considering what was being sold on his end was just some boring lab equipment.
But curiosity and low prices got the best of me. If my $200 something dollar mantle fails iā€™m ok with that but I bought a chiller and 5L rotovap which is bound to arrive soon and if those fail like the mantle then thatā€™s a really big L

So it charred the outside of the bottom of my brand new Rocco 5L boiling flask. I CANNOT for the life of me get it off. It also burned my insulating rope

jesus christ, well I guess the silver lining is that you didnā€™t burn any crude I guess.

If you paid by card you can dispute it, was it through alibaba?

No it was just through email. I paid via PayPal though

Yes it was through Alibaba. Terry first asked to do T/T or Western Union but I didnā€™t take the bait

but youre saying you did connect the thermocouple to that port and rested inside the heater and ran it?

76

Yes the thermoprobe was what was plugged in originally when I noticed it was messing up the fist time.
After I plugged in thermocouple and same thing

77

ok but the probe was then rested inside the heater as well, ie it was directly touching the fabric heating mantle sleeve? sorry i dont mean to be annoying just trying to see where the issue may lie. i would certainly want a refund or a new unit sent ASAP. sounds like the unit is defective at gathering the proper temperature. whether is the plug, or a problem in the circuit board i dont know. @Terry_Manager should ship a new one asap and arrange to have the old one picked up. I wouldnt settle for (ship me that one ill fix it and send it back) which would take a month at least going back and forth from china.

Yes i have just left the probe inside the sleeve resting and same results. Not being annoying. I get it. These are along the same questions I have been answering with him to troubleshoot since sunday

That is the LANPHAN manager, that is correct. And unfortunately once he responds to this thread, I canā€™t anymore. PayPal has told me Iā€™m not allowed any contact with him until dispute is settled. So once he chimes in I canā€™t. Although I can answer any and all questions from you guys at that point through dm

Paypal might try and make you ship it back, theyre shitty like that.
