Bought mine on Ebay, late on the 28th from a lot that came from fasttech I assume. Most likely it was a co-op extra or something of that nature. Two were available, both gone now. Shipped from Virginia if I remember correctly. Paid $26.00 total and don't feel a bit bad about paying $3.00 to have it in 3 business days. I have an order from fasttech that I paid for on the 16th that is STILL in Hong Kong.

That sucks. Every time I ordered form fasttech, It only took 12 days.

I dont know if anyone brought this up yet but, make sure that the firing mechanism is tightened and check it often. I didnt and the switch fell off making it fire. It almost caught my pocket on fire. Other than that I love mine.

I don't understand??? It fired with the switch unscrewed from the base? I'm loving this thing. I'm so glad I found this before ordering the Magneto. It works great.

Can the throw of the button be shortened?

When the button unscrews, the contact inside floats around and can cause it to fire.
Easy solution is to make sure it is tight and check it once in a while.
The indicator that it is getting loose is the button sticks further out of the bottom of the switch assembly.
I used a very small dot of blue loctite on mine and it's been solid.

As far as the throw, I'm working on that. Will report back if my idea works out.

I will work on the Throw part also. It should be possible.

Exactly, I couldn't find my loctite so I just tightened the best I could and check it daily.

so i ordered last wed from "slowtech"... opened a ticket to see when it would ship and finally got a response today saying that they are waiting for a new batch that should arrive the next couple of days. and then it will ship... uhhhhggg. this is my first purchase from fasttech and im not very impressed. is this normal from fasttech?

i am however excited to get it after hearing your thoughts on yours. cant wait!

so my wooli clone finally showed up today and i gotta say... im not that impressed. i dont have experience with clones or any other mods that arent made in the US, but this thing just feels cheap. the top isnt flush to the body when in 18350 mode. also, its too long for an 18650 IMO. i dont think ill be keeping this one around for long.

i really wish more mods had eGo threads instead of only the 510. im going to get an eGo T mod next i think. looks like a very slim profile even with an 18650 and will operate just like any eGo. mechanical switches at the bottom of most mods add too much length IMO. wish there were more options.

the hunt continues...

What are you talking about??? I've seen a cap that has ego threads for this mod also.

How much force was used to push out the white plastic piece in the top cap??? I'm afraid of breaking it.

Don't worry about pressing down on the white delrin(?) piece in the top cap. It is free floating. I pushed mine "down" quite a bit to flush mount my RSST. It will cause the device to not tighten all of the way down in 18350 mode but I mostly use 18650s so it's no big deal. If you switch to something else that you don't or cant flush mount just tighten the cap a bit in 18350 mode to push "up" on the white piece and it'll take the seam out of the body.

It's glued in. I will pop it eventually tho.

Anyone have the Wooliston and Magneto? I need to see a pic of them side by side.

I tried 18350 flat tops in my Wooliston and they are too short. I can only use button tops.
