too bad, looks nice
Silver plated upgrade for 5-10 bucks. Does anyone know which vendor has these? The video isnt in english and google isnt finding anything. Sentinel clone silver pin assembly - YouTube
I've had my v3 for a week now. I got the smok magneto on the same day and, although the magneto has been getting more of my attention, this is just a phenomenal device for less than $20. I got the "golden" version. It's extremely solid, the threads are awesome, you can completely disassemble the switch, it has a floating pin, AND it's extremely small. The v3 in 18650 mode is the same size as the magneto in 18500 mode. I think the v3 actually hits a little better, too.
This HAS to be the best mech for the price out there.

I am also lovin my clone... After only a week it has replaced my 3 week old zmax v3 as my #1... With a 22mm ibtanked 1.8 ohm cart setup I blow clouds
I like it in 18500 mode, but it rocks with an 18650 or 18350...

both my ss tubes i make without vent holes but can can be drill if needed.
FYI, my #20 also using custom SS tube-non telescopic which is 2mm shorter than the original......but firing is not that good.
haha I have have both too. really surprised with the thread quality so far and yeah for the price not bad
how are the threading on the 510 connection holding up. can they last if you're very careful with removing and putting on an atty. i dont really want to buy a 510 extender. defeats the look of the devices. ive heard of drilling out and pressing in a stronger built 510 connections. has anyone done that yet
I was worried about the threading at first, but I've been swapping between an AGA and IGO quite frequently the last couple of days. As long as you unscrew the top cap and then carefully screw it onto the atty instead of just screwing the atty onto the mod, you should be fine. It makes more sense to do it like that anyway, to make sure the floating pin fully extends.
Ibrahim is selling the silver pins for these, I've asked him for a quote and shipping details. If the price is right, I wouldn't mind spending a few more dollars on this mod to bump the conductivity up even more.
wow thanks for the answer. ive been hearing so much complaint about it but ive been following vapestars on youtube and instagram and he seems to have had it for a while. ill consider buying a silver pin for this at some point since my budget is on the low side after ordering my monthly supply haha
So... I'm at the fast tech check out and I don't know what battery to get for the Sentinel Clone V3. I've read a post in the earlier pages stating that they had trouble with flat top batteries?
I am planning to buy this battery: NCR18650PD $13.62 Panasonic NCR18650PD 18650 3.6V 2900mAH Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries (2-Pack) 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Does anyone use that exact battery in their sentinel v3 clone? It is about 1mm thicker than the CGR18650CH. I don't want this 1mm to render these batteries useless for this mod.

those are ok batteries. always ppl will tell you to run on aw imr 18650 hd batteries, on fast tech ive also heard of ppl buying the sony imr batteries that supposedly have up to 30 amp draw. if you are gonna vape sub ohm be careful :]
I got my v3 and my magneto 2 days apart. I'm loving both of them too. Unfortunately I got the brass/aluminum v3 because I thought it looked better. So the magneto feels more solid and better in my hand but the v3 definitely hits better. I just ordered the all brass one and I'm sure since it feels solid and hits better, that will be my go-to mod for awhile.
I agree...this does seem to be the best mod for the price.
Got mine yesterday, and it's actually everything everyone could ask for, i think? It's a two tone with brass top and bottom caps, but the upper and lower sleeves are now stainless steel! feels and weighs rock solid, switch is amazing, so is the threads, and hits really, really hard!
I only bought this here locally so I wouldn't know if this version is available somewhere else.
To get brass end caps + aluminum body here in the US, we have to buy both colours of the clone and do a mix and match.
Stainless steel? Did you have it custom made?
