I purchased it a while ago, but it's still in transit.
The reviews were very favorable, with the aesthetics being the only downside.
Me personally, I like the way it looks, even though it reminds a bit of a half circumcised pecker.

I purchased the gun metal or all grey so the aesthetics are not there really. It's been about five years since a telescopic came out which is why I purchased. My last telescopic mech I picked up was my Rai Vapes Launcher.
So I added another one to my collection.
I ordered the red/black version.
It'll be my first telescoping mech tube, and although I plan to use it with 2x700s exclusively, I really like the fact that it takes away the battery rattle without any gap and without additional springs or magnets, which will keep it shorter and more secure compared to mechs with self adjusting buttons.
I bet it will stay behind my Overlord clone in performance due to the overall simpler and more effective design of the Overlord and the additional threads on the Bathala, but I like the overall concept of the latter.

You won't notice that much of a voltage drop. It might be there but not that noticable .You can also swap out the spring in the button for the magnets and eliminate the spring taking any voltage which will help.
This will replace (in use that is) my launcher and ballistic mechs. Those two are 22mm toppers only and now I can run 25's on the bathala,nice little upgrade.

I don't think the spring will take any current at all because of the ultem switch and I'm not a huge fan of magnets either.
The Overlord is an absolute beast though that quite noticeably beats every other mech I own. We'll see how the Bathala will keep up.
I have a few 22mm atties that I like very much on my squonkers, but I prefer 24 or 25mm RDAs for dripping, mostly because of the larger juicewell and/or lower profile.

The switch is metal. The ultem piece you see threads onto the end of button housing.
Arrived today.
I'm quite pleased.
Threads are nice and move without squeeking, but stay well in place when fully assembled.
Haptic is surprisingly good due to the odd shape. It's quite bottom heavy, so it's not easy to topple over, but sadly I'm not able to perform my "drumstick twirl" with it when idle. I guess I just need more practice.
The slightly rough but nevertheless comfortable coating provides a nice grip.
Taking the button apart for cleaning or changing the spring for the magnets is very easy. I didn't even need any tools.
The delrin insert has quite beefy threads, so it's not that easy to crossthread.
The ultem button itself feels sturdy and has a beautiful and smooth throw. Not too soft, not too stiff. I think I'll leave the magnets in, although I normally prefer springs.
The cutouts on the button housing are well made, although I could live without them, because it might allure you to press the button right on the edge, which just doesn't work. But that's a problem most all mechs share that feature a recessed button. If you have longer fingernails though, it might be an advantage to have those cutouts I suppose.
Installing/removing the battery is a breeze because of the cup it rests in.
I put the gunmetal Passage RDA on top and I must confess, that I quite like the look of it, but I can imagine it's not everyone's cup of tea.
It hits very nice with a Sanyo 2070C and a 0.15ohm coil, so nothing to complain about in the performance department either.
All in all I think it's a very well put together mod, that's worth every single penny.
More so for the price of lousy 20$.
Pros:
Constant contact switch
Performance
Haptic
Magnets & spring included
No toppling
Cons:
No twirling
Center press button only
Hard to find matching RDA

Nice review. Thank you. Where did you get it for $20 and do they have more?
Fasttech is your dealer of choice.
No code needed. MAP doesn't do anything either.
If FT should be sold out, 3Avape sells it for 29 bucks.

Mine has packaged and waiting shipping today. Yes FT still has them all 5 colors only problem is they are 5 day shipping for each. I have 8-12 days (workdays that is) before mine reaches my hand.
Which door did you get? I forgot to ask. I got the gun metal just for the simple fact it is all one color and black is the only other solid one color. I also ordered the Intense RDA (gun metal) for the topper on mine.

Mine was processed thru szenzen on 1-3-20 and got stuck at "originating post preparing to ship" . Apparently still on China docks waiting until after CNY. I don't remember any orders sitting this long in the prep to ship stage?
Thanks for the review. I have my eye on this one. I like how it looks
