What bothers me about the CCTS is the mindless attention given to copying the GG, right down to the drilled out vent holes in the battery cap that don't actually go anywhere. I don't care if they copy the design, but at least copy the useful parts - plus I'm not a big fan of chrome over copper.

I will say, however, that it actually hits more consistently than my GGs have, maybe because the battery spring is soldered to the axis post.

I'm really interested in the natural because of the stainless construction, low profile button, and flat top connection and would love to pick one up.

Got a Natural today. As it comes, the Panny 2250 button top is a half a mm too long; it leaves a gap. ...
I believe there may be a bit of adjustment available for length inside, but I haven't explored that yet.
For a button top Panny you can unscrew the base cap (where the vents are). The little bit of gap there does not look or feel too bad at all.



The button on the CCTS, frankly, is pretty damned bad. I'd say the one on the Natural is much better.
...
I much prefer the shape, size, and finish on the Natural's button. But they did make the button's spring a bit stiff. We'll see if the action softens up a little over time.

Wondering what you actually have. Kamry Storm is not a mindless copy nor a failed clone. It simply has a few similar features. Multiple tubes, side fire button. It is just a 510 telescoping side fire mod.

What holes on the bottom cap? My 4 all have holes above the switch and on the died of the Top cone. All vent the Tube.

As for comparison to your GG, you should look into that issue. Both should be performing almost identical. There seems to be a dirty/weak contact point in the GG which is likely a simple fix.
