PROS
Decent mechanical device
Adjustable battery connection at the 510 pin
Easy to upgrade to magnetic switch
Switches distance of throw
Switch spring is strong enough for a 18650 and Ithaka without firing while standing on button
Capable of flush mount depending on battery and accessory
|
CONS
Kick won't fit
Poor threading as to depth inside of cylinders
Air flow adjustment very accessory dependent as well as when it works its pretty much just opened or closed. A different o-ring may help a bit but I doubt it especially with a Puritank, no flow with the Puritank.

This is only after a quick first inspection and a few hours tinkering.
As a straight battery device it's decent. Adjustments have to be made here and there but I'd give it decent as a straight battery device and no better! These adjustments often end up leaving your accessory/atty mounted on the 510 connection alone not flush mounting making the connection weak and yes this could change with different battery lengths.
As for being a kicked device, well my kick will not fit, no how no way! In one tube its too tight and in the main battery tube my kick is way too loose. I've never seen this before but the inside diameter of the tubing used to make these devices changes diameter drastically! Try swapping the tubes turning them upside down into the top of the battery cylinder for the kick and this leaves a gap between battery tubes.
I'm left with the idea these are factory seconds or thirds and that they were turned out on automated screws as the two I ordered are identical twins with exactly the same flaws and who knows how many more went through on this flawed program.
No circuit board, full mechanical mod Random serial number Laser engraving logo and patterns Stainless steel construction Telescopic 510 center pin (silver-plated) Spring-loaded firing button Bottom locking ring (is NOT reverse threaded) Top cap with airflow control ring Recessed 510 threading connector Powered by 1*18350/1*18500/1*18650/1*18650+Kick (batteries and kicks sold separately) BS and loads of it for a meager tidy sum as listed.
So if you like your kicked devices this one is a gamble to a no go. In my opinion it should not be advertised as a kick able device. Even with a sleeve for a kick the changing diameter of the battery tubes makes fitting a kick close to impossible. Good old FastTech QC at work for us!
