If you like copper, then you should get the copper version, it's great.
It is some kind of high-temp resistant plastic... I usually refer to any kind of such plastics as Delrin even if not, but they are all the same kind of thing.
It is set up like a Cherry Bomber, except that the button is recessed, has a shorter throw, and doesn't spin due to it being inserted through a square opening. I think it feels great. I don't have a dos equis, but think I remember seeing a review of it awhile back. I remember the dos equis having kind of a 'mushy' fire button due to the mechanism employed. The Raptor does not feel like that.
Exactly. The batteries are screwed in to the box, making the box the battery negative. The battery positive is in contact with 510 pin. Fire switch pushes a large copper button pin/screw into a large copper ring under the atomizer mount (510 negative), making connection between the box and the 510 negative. If you look at the pictures already posted in this thread, you can figure it out.
It looks great! Tell your wife it's a clone. What do you think of the switch?My copper one came last night, so here's my "bad" USPS story. Wife has mentioned more than once I'm spending a bit too much on vape stuff. Ordered from 88 Sunday, shipped Monday, and arrived at the PO yesterday. Got there after my carrier was out, but no big deal. Wife is working today, so I figured she wouldn't be home when it came. But nooo, not only do they go out of their way to deliver it last night when the wife was home, they even rang the bell so she could personally retrieve it from the mailbox. No lecture yet, but I'm sure I'll get one to spoil the holiday weekend.
Batteries are on the charger, so I haven't fired it up yet. However, I'm really impressed by the build quality. Even the packaging was nice, coming well protected in a plastic box with plenty of bubble wrap. Tossed a dual 24ga, 3mm, 7-wrap build into the copper Freakshow Mini I also ordered ($8? Sure!). Can't wait to see how it goes.

Yeah, the switch is far better than the Cherry Bomber. The 510 should adjust to the atomizer if you put the atomizer on before the batteries. The batteries being screwed in puts upward pressure on the 510 pin.Nothing much I can do about the wife except say, "Yes, dear" the appropriate number of times.
Love the switch! Short throw, no misfires or failures to fire, doesn't need to be pushed in just the right spot with just the right amount of pressure. What really amazes me about this mod, though, is how such a big, boxy, heavy as heck chunk of copper can be so comfortable to hold and vape. I have a very healthy number of mod's, clone and authentic, and this is the only clone that makes me wonder just how the original could possibly be any better.
I have no complaints so far, but the 510 pin might be a little short. I haven't tried any other atties, but that Freakshow just barely seems to make the connection. I had to take it apart to make sure it made contact.
Well the batteries would certainly stay stacked in a raptor, but I think you would have better specs, both in mah and cdr, if you just used a good pair of 18650s.
