Manny, I thought you said all the paint came off before you sent it in? I have used this one a lot and not lost any paint yet. Probably lucky. The Wismec does feel more solid. The LV is nicer, and I like the 510 platform much better. However the 510 itself is not much better. Not spring loaded. A fucking grommet job too. These Chinese will cut corners anywhere they can. Think about it, a real good 510 is like $20. No way they are putting that. Overall the LV is nicer but the Wismec has more heft. Which can actually be a bad thing. It is fucking heavy. A tiny amount of paint came off the Wismec but I can mix and touched it up perfectly. It's a tossup I guess. I give the LV 4/5 and the Wismec 3.5/5. 5 would be like a custom Stab wood mod from a top builder and cost a grand. So, either is doing good.
If your hands are not sweaty and you just pat juice with a tissue paint should not chip. Don't drop it!
