I'm honestly surprised about how much hate is in this thread right now. It kinda bums me out that people are so judgmental about things they haven't even seen or tried yet. Either way this thing works very well for me, in fact its as good as my ngp, my silverdog, my rsst, and my aga. Brass is a very good conduction material and even if the top deck or any posts are brass what real difference would it make other than the look of it? I always thought the point of vaping was not only enjoyment but also the ability to quit smoking and be more healthy. who wants to spend 300$ on a mod that is going to operate the same exact way a cheap one will? I understand the want for a nice heavy duty quality made mod that is going to last a long long time but that doesn't mean that lower end ones don't have their place in the market. I do eventually plan on buying a nice ihybrid but right now this little china mod is working just as sell as any of my mods and for a price that is half of the cost of an ihy I don't see why anyone would complain about it.
