I waited quite some time for my preorder and was pretty excited to get this kit. Frankly on a scale of 1 to 10 it gets a weak 5. Wismec pooped in the punch bowl with this dog.

Here is what you get.

I knew the moment this came out of the package it was a cheap piece of shit. While it vapes fine and it works as advertised in both parallel and series configuration the build quality is iffy at best. This is a noisy cricket II with some thin, flimsy resin and the buttons and knobs rearranged. Since the metal is cutout (as you can see in the images) after this gets dropped and the resin breaks you have a stupid looking noisy cricket with holes in it.

The only thing good about the mod itself is the bottom plate is much smoother than the second NC.

To top off an already cheap design there is a power light.

Its hard to tell from the image but in the center of the light there is a spot where the white light shines through. Its obscenely bright and in a dark room extremely noticeable. If this was intentional its stupid. If its a build defect, its another nail in this turds coffin.

I was super pumped but could have done a NC V2 up real nice for a lot less money. Very disappointing.

I have read some other reviews on this and they were impressed with the mod and not with the Guillotine V2, I am just the opposite. While not a top shelf design or made out of precious metals its a solid performer.

Building on this is stupid easy, it has a strong airflow game but no so much so the flavor gets muted out and you can get a good positive bite on the coils. Its airy, simple and the manufacturing is good. It even comes with a beauty ring. The RDA is a 7 of 10. Great performer, low cost and well manufactured.

Looking back I wish I had bought the RDA by itself and skipped the mod altogether. Maybe my expectations were too high but this kit was a big let down in my opinon.

Just like the Stentorian Ram Squonk.
Biggest piece of shit I ever purchased, besides Alien 220's.
I dropped the Ram on indoor/outdoor carpet (concrete underneath) from about 4 feet and it shattered in 5 pieces.
After that I saw Bogan's review video where his shattered from a shorter distance.
They sure look more sturdy in the photos

This photo is what I expected to receive. Not some see through piece of flimsy trash.

Holy crap, I did a double take on your pictures, see-through is right...what the crap


Its BS. Im going to write an email and make a phone call on Monday for whatever that is worth. I will be very reluctant in the future to purchase another Wismec product because of this. It is deceitful and dishonest. I know this is a Noisy Cricket at heart but to wrap +/- 1mm of resin around it and give it a fancy name does not warrant double the cost. I haven't found another image online that shows it for what it is. All the images are through rose colored glasses. I went to a vape shop locally that sells these and they were all see through.
