Jack Yiloong told me they get the vela clone from him/his company. I have been dealing w Jack for many months.

i delt with jack on zenesis clones, but he never sent me actual pictures of the product, just pictures of zens with the "zen" blurred out...
i wonder how he'll do on these...

guys if you want any more pics of this little guy let me know, i got it right here next to me. it has been confirmed the clone i have is the same as the coop and the one on vapor joes... they are just posting actual caravela pics to bring in the sales. all in all not a bad device but not close to a real caravela.

how about some meaningful #'s....

voltage drop under load?
mod length relative to battery size?
battery hot spring or not?
close up pics of the switch mechanism & centre post where it contacts the battery....

this is the info that sets it apart from other mech mods.
i hope no one buys this JUST because it resembles a Caravela....

dont have my meter with me, but contacts are brass after sanding so voltage drop should be minimal
it is 74mm
no hot spring
the top cap exploded

bottom switch exploded
the 3rd and 4th from the left pieces touch sides and this is how the switch operates. the throw is kinda wonky and wobbly but if it is not it will not fire

that's exactly the mod i was thinking of when i saw the switch disassembled.... lol

either way, this clone is not a mod i would be interested in.
too many negatives in design....
The caravela is so simple, yet they still manage to :censored: it up

right on, i'll continue to use mine until I can purchase a real Caravela at a reasonable price :)
