Yup. I kicked it around forever because of the button, but because of the hand feel it works for me.

It’s nice and small, must feel good. It’s unregulated, afaik.

I hate to think that I’ll miss out on all kinds of mods because of corona and China.

Very nice! How do you like that mod?
Excellent! Having nothing to do with Gadget, I took it all part and got out my rotary tool and polished up all the contact surfaces with a polishing wheel and some soft metal buffing compound. Not that it came dirty or anything . I do that with everything.

I love the design and the build quality is great. I haven't scientifically tested it, but it performs REALLY well. I've had this psychological block that kept telling me that side firing mechanisms won't be as good as a bottom switch. This simple design works VERY well.

One thing that threw me off, and I really should know better, is that some certainly well meaning fella did a review of it on youtube. I was researching on whether I wanted to buy it or not.

He said that the end screws are what carries the "voltage" between the battery poles. It was late and I was half asleep. I figured he meant "current" and just misspoke. However, I let him get it in my head that those screws are what carried the current. I didn't like that. Judging by the heads they looked like pretty thin screws and I wasn't sure how conductive that would be.

After looking around for some pictures it hit me. :idea: If those screws carried the current the length of the tube then the mod would fire as soon as the battery cap touched the bottom contact. Or I should say, as soon as the positive pole on the battery touched the pin on the atomizer. Duh. It's the firing bar that carries the current :wait: How else could it possibly work? The screws simply mate the metal parts to the delrin body.

Some guys are not qualified to be doing mech reviews. I bought the mod and really love it :)

i'm just going to take a shot in the dark here = i bet he meant the firing bar screws. but even then, that is only somewhat correct. yes, the screws do carry current. but if some divine force were to hold the FB to the top, and the bottom bung to the FB, it would work just as well.

Get to prune soaking wet bushes today. There's like 45 of them. And when you get done swing by this other place and cut up this tree and load it before you come in. Ok but I have to get to the other side of this parking lot first.
