I just received my vagabond mini today and a small metal object fell out of it. Is it still safe to use? Here a some photos > http://cl.ly/image/0E0C06450P1a // http://cl.ly/image/0e1h2C0L101G // http://cl.ly/image/0B0A2n1c2M1j

I can't identify the object . . . looks like a large blob of solder to me. Certainly not a component of any sort.

My gut opinion is that it is probably safe to use. On the other hand, it's good the solder blob fell out . . . had it stayed in there rolling around it would likely cause a short and a failure. If you prefer, we would be happy replace to the VML. Just write info@paulcbuff.com.

BTW, I have never seen a defect like this . . . most likely the fault of excess solder being applied.

Have you tried to use it? Does it work OK.

Good.

I'll forward this string to customer service so they are aware of your unusual situation.
