Continuity!
Size, paint, safety, price, packaging, looks
Tauren is on top in the mech department for me right now
|
CONS
Let’s see they could of put a little pack of that jelly in with mod. But actually works fine with out. Still hits like a train and doesn’t rattle
|
Yeah boy, this guy is good. Paint is nice and strong, with a rugged feel that smoothes down nicely over time. Did chip some but I’ve been using this thing about a year now and dropped a bunch. Bought an extra switch cause I plan on using this um possibly forever. Bought his brother (max) cause I like ‘em so much. Hardest hitter I’ve seen/owned. Better IMO than the max. 40 American with MAP is hard to beat for any authentic mech and I’d bet it hits harder than the others. It has a plasti spring loaded disk inside where the 510 hybrid for safety. Oh yeah this guy is small for a 20700. Only taller than my ijoy 24k ultra. I love it best mech on the market I’m my opinion. I own this, the max, rda, rdta and have a solo on the way... yeah I’m a fan. Some say ball bearing in switch rattles without conductive jell but hasn’t been my experience and I removed mine awhile back. Everything has been quality and all well packaged plus vacuum sealed. Though customs in Cali cut the vacuum on one of my mods cant remember if it was this or max. No matter, Tauren is legit my vaper dudes. Enjoy!

Build quality
Paint and finish
Small volt drop
Locking switch
Looks
|
CONS
not really
Um they don’t offer a copper switch
....serial number on front
|
Ok I love this thing, it is really only second (in my opinion) to it brother the copper tauren (non-max). Better than broadside. Just better. These bros hit my guys.
I almost exclusively use this and his bro for daily use. The switch work marvelously and locks when screwed in which is nice. Only brass locking switches for this mech, but they’re cross compatible with the other mech. When I use the max I use the lock switch cause it looks better and sag is so small. Just saying they’re swapable.
Ok the looks, I’d prefer that gold badge just not be there or just milled like brother. The paint looks like car body paint with slight, small silver flake. The silver is not over bearing and doesn’t look bad, but silver flake on a painted brass mod seems like a bad call looking back lol. It still looks sharp. It looks like it belongs next to a Ferrari. The paint is strong and has held up to several drops with only one small chip in it.
I will buy another.
If you use mechs and have not tried Tauren dude use map on either one.
You wont regret it.
Did I mention that both switches are bad ass? Stop reading and add one already.

Nice brass rda
Works great
Air flow - see cons
Juice well is deep
|
CONS
I filed some of the sharp edges down
Better for squonk than dripper
|
I polished the brass bell right away to match a touren mech. I like this thing flavor is good. Air flow is a cool design really the prob I have with this thing is the way airflow is designed, if someone was to put a 2.5 or bigger coil in this tho and drip it. The juice will just flow right out the airflow and never make it to the well. It would work just fine as squonk prob. Idk never used it that way, just wanted as a dripper. Too bad for me. It is a decent rda tho

Prob wrapped 10 bats and still plenty left
Strong/ holds up
Cheap
|
CONS
Obviously you have to cut it too length
20700 are a no go
|
Nice white heat shrink for 18650. Is... kinda transparent, also sharpie won’t rub off of this easily. It’s thicker than some of the graphic wraps that I payed $1 a piece for but not the thickest.
For the price well worth it. I personally feel like anyone who uses and swaps batteries, extra wraps are a must for safety.
These work just fine... so do others.
In a pinch or if I wanted white again, I’d buy these
Oh and obviously you gotta cut it

Real nice rda
This guy is solid
Holds 18650 and 20700
|
CONS
It’s heavy. Too heavy for myself
The button on top is crunchy and can be finicky if not cleaned up.
Burs on a lot of edges to clean up. Brass colors don’t match from mech to rda.
|
Button is a pain. Plastic fell off button right away, it got glued back on.
Only used a handful of times. Oh and it is a handful, it’s heavy. Works like a mech and doesn’t blow up but man if you go for this, take it apart and check it. I could easily see where this could short.
Squonk works, bottles good and pos pin is adjustable. I had to drop it way down right off so I could fit rda. Again concerning me about shorts. Ps any short that connects pos side to neg side without going thru atty is a bad fucking deal. Use at your own risk, mine is useable and safe after looking over, but I could easily see this thing being dangerous.
More volt drop than I’d like on this too.
It’s cool looking clone
Nice rda with both pins
Very cheap both in price and build
Buyer beware
