This thread is for the general discussion of the Product Aspire SkyStar. Please add to the discussion here.
Hello Anise,A friend got me the skystar in May for my birthday. It's a pretty nice kit. The touchscreen doesn't always respond but after a while you get it down pat. Because of the way you access the touch screen you can't accidentally change your settings which is nice. I have a couple mods I use each day so a pair of batteries lasts a few days before charging.
The revvo atty is difficult at times. If you don't remember to tip the mod occasionally you'll get a dry hit. You get accustomed to this too. Although it works great in TC I don't think there's a TC coil for the revvo so I had to use a different one if I wanted TC. It's nice and light and when you hold it your finger goes automatically to the fire button.
The batteries load in the back with a magnetized door. It's pretty strong. You have to want the door to open for it to open. My biggest problem is the ribbon under the batteries. It's placed between them so after it goes under one battery you have to lay it over it so it'll be under the other battery. Sounds minor but I messed up the wrapping on a battery trying to pry it out.
I never reviewed anything so I just gave my opinion. If there's something specific you want to know about I'll answer if I can. Overall it's one of my favorite mods but the jury is still out on the revvo.
Thank you for the updated informationCorrection to my post. The ribbon under the battery is NOT in the center. It's off to one side easily used by both batteries. I'm sorry I mixed it up with another mod.
Hello Friend,I've had the Skystar for a couple of weeks now and these are my observations. The mod is a nice looking mod that would not look out of place in the hand of a person in formal attire. So far it appears to be solidly enough built. As said earlier this is a touch screen dual battery (18650) mod. The touch screen can be a bit finicky at times but it works. The screen is easy enough to read, even in bright light. The mod is light and fits nicely in the hand and feels great until you go to fire it. The fire button is above the screen on the side of the mod. In this position you want to fire by pushing sideways with the side of your thumb. It's in a very awkward spot. This is a real detractor from the feel of the mod. The mod has a spring 510 connector in the centre, right where it should be. Apparently there's a new firmware available but I haven't been able to instal it yet. The firmware doesn't recognize my mod. The clock face is functional albeit a bit simplistic in design. In any case it's not a great mod but it's a good nod and well worth what I'd paid for it.
It doesn't work. I deleted the files from the c:\program files directory. I deleted the references to it in the registry. I deleted the shortcut. It doesn't appear in the control panel to do an uninstall (never did). I did a fresh install. I used the original cable provided. I tied the cable provided with my Dynamo mod. I tried 5 different USB ports. The computer just does not recognize the mod at all. The icon is in my system tray and I get the dialogue box. It doesn't update when I plug in my mod. I have no other computer available right now to try it on.Hello Friend,
