So I cleaned up some of my mods today and seen that on the xxx that little Clapton coils in the switch housing is actually eating up the pole on the switch...anybody else have this problem? The Clapton coil things look too big and the end sticks in a little. Also the plastic piece in one of the subzeroX switch that the clutch system sits on is cracked...sad sad day. Both work fine though. Probably gonna have to rotate that plastic piece in the subzeroX from different mods.

There will be replacement switches for the subzero x soon if there only like 15-20$ I prob will get them but we will see

The three SZX clones I have are all doing great, just took the switches apart checked them, no issues at all. Same with the copper XXX, does not appear to be any wearing in the switch at all, though I don't use it all the time. I use the SZX clones every day and they haven't missed a beat.

Both the szx and xxx are kindbright. Got 2 szx. Both work fine. I put the spring from an authentic subzero shorty in the subzeroX but prior to that it wouldn't fire all the time because the spring is so long. Sometimes had to press it hard,I think that's why it cracked. Gonna use CA glue to keep it together. The xxx still works fine just the button rod is getting eaten up from those coil springs. May take it out and bend them them to line up better. I bought an authentic 11:11 and the coil springs is a lot nicer and a little more recessed into the switch housing. I like the new com-s switch a lot better than the one in the xxx

The clone screws to the authentic I can confirm it does. The new switch is better imo. I ordered the 11:11 mod on their 4th of July sale and the clone xxx top half screws into the bottom half of the 11:11 fine so the xtension should work too

Good mods. It the switch archs on my battery bit do see that the center of the contacts have some kind of extra metal in the center making a high point so
May need to file it down who knows

Do you have kindbright email and model number for the su zero x. Tia

Just go to the Alibaba contact page, contact them through it. I'll warn you, your going to be paying roughly $25-$30 in shipping and fees for a small order, 2 or 3 pieces. Unfortunately they only offer DHL shipping which is nice and fast but expensive. Two SZX mods with matching RDA are going to run you somewhere near $70. Depending on who you manage to hook up with (they have multiple sales reps) they may enforce a 3 piece minimum. Sadly they also have a fairly low response rating 40-80%.

the above is not unique to Kindbright, pretty much every factory rep I've dealt with is the same, sometimes they reply, sometimes they don't so keep bugging them. just be prepared for the shipping +fees. If you can buy the items you want from Fasttech, or 3Fvape you'll be much better off. In the case of the Subzero X mods sadly I don't know anyplace that actually sells them other then direct.

Maybe someone else here knows. Also they just call it SubzeroX mod kit, Copper, Brass, SS.

Contact Information for Shenzhen Kindbright Technology Limited

Yeah I paid $76 I believe for 3 mods

That seems a bit low, pretty sure minimum shipping cost to CONUS is about $24, add a few bucks for payment fees, though the SZX are a little more expensive now. 3x mod kits are gonna be about $63 without fees and shipping. pretty sure 3 will run about $90 after all is said and done.

Wow. It went up fast it was $19.99 wen I got it. Wish I got 2 copper and 2 brass instead of one each. Also they sent me a copper xxx instead of a brass one and never replied to my emails about screwing that up , but still send me promotions...

I thought the maze sleeve looked ugly but seen a pic of it on a mod and wanted one. Lol there is a guy on Facebook MVP tips n stuff I believe that makes stab wood sleeves with matching tips. Looks awesome. I think it was odd too that they took the sleeve option off their site.
I have no regrets buying an authentic subzeroX. After I bought their shorty/legendary combo from a shop owner here locally I had to buy the subzeroX. Actually wanted to get the brass version too but gonna wait till they start rolling out different finishes first

They didn't remove them from inventory, I had a copper one carted until the cookies expired about 4 days ago, I would have been able to check out with it, but since unknown status I didn't, then the cart expired. Hopefully they come back soon. I'll probably just buy an authentic copper, though a couple of the Cerakote finishes are pretty nice.
