For only $18.00 I had to get it.
Actually, I ordered 2 just in case I happened to really like it.
Ordered here: Sentinel Mechanical Mod - VaporBreak
VaporBreak is located in China - I chose the cheap slowboat shipping.

ecig personal vaporizer, sentinel clone mech mod $OLD!!

It seems some people already has theirs? I can't find a review on the clone. The guy in the link above sold his for $35 inlcuding shipping. From the looks of it, it looks pretty damn nice.


18350 mode.

Is that a floating pin I see? Dunno, I've never seen a floating pin before.:p

Threads looks pretty good. Looks alot smoother than my eVic. The body looks pretty thick also.

Here's a video review. And the low down:
0.26 voltage drop
0.6 ohm
50/50 pg/vg juice blend.
Lots of vapor.
Silver plated firing pin? The pictures above looks like it was sanded down to reveal brass or copper.

Thanks for the pics PinoyBoy.

It's listed for $17.99 on Vaporbreak - see link in my OP.
Says they have 118 in stock on their site.

Shipping was only like $4.00 for snail mail. But shipping goes up if you order more stuff.
Even then, I ordered about $100 worth and shipping was $10.00
There are options for DHL or EMS express - for a lot more - if you want to get it fast: DHL for $35

I'll post pics and stuff when I get mine, but slow boat from China maybe a couple weeks :(

I received mine today. I really wanted to hate it. It's aluminum. It's light. It feels cheap. But it hits really, really well, as well as the China GG and K-100. Better than any of the many Sigeleis I have. I think the key here is that it is brass from the 510 pin all the way to the switch. No chrome plating, no steel in the way. The spring and button feel really nice. It has a floating center pin. The threads aren't all that bad. Damn, now I have to keep it.

BT804 Kayfake From Beautiful...china clone, clone on clone but the juice is not. Genny joose from buckysbargainvaping. I reallly like the button. It's soft. doesn't fire when setting it down. The throw could be shorter I guess but as soft as it is, it's not an issue for me. All aluminum except the bottom button and top post. A whole lot lighter than mu Segelie 19. Hcigar makes it. They advertise an all brass version on their site and it certainly looks all brass. One other thing I like and that is the texture. Provides a nice grip.

I was thinking the same thing about the aluminum - I've had a few aluminum mods...
But it is an excellent conductor - great in a mech mod.
Is the Center Tube brass??
It looks really nice - thanks for the nice pics.

I'd love to find the all brass version for sale somewhere...

I see the Private too - Stainless steel model listed on Hcigar's website.

4800 mah...that's fake! Fastech has some great batteries. It's a shame they are offering this one in the kit. Must be cause they can't sell them straight. They had vamo kits with the cgr18650ch before. One could only hope. Not a bad deal with the free, faster shipping and charger. I wouldn't want that battery in a mechanical mod though.
