I can understand the functionality, I was caught off guard of how well this little mod performed when I got it. I guess I'm just not much into ribbing other than baby back ribs. Being filipino, I feel bad that I don't find most of the pinoy mods that appealing. The Nzonic V3 looks great to me but all the others with that ribbing is too much for me to pay $150+. Maybe it has to do with me starting with the greek mods. From a Roller or a GP paps looking very smooth and simple to a Sentinel clone body. That's a major difference in form factor. One side is fighting to keep everything looking simple and elegant, while the other one just wants to let the inner wild side out. Lol
Just got mine in mail yesterday.Realy like it.How do you now when to charge it?
I played around with rewicking my Protank today, after buying come Peaches & Creme white cotton yarn at Wal-Mart. Worked great by the way, and 2 pieces of that yarn in place of the original wicking completely solved my Protank flooding issues.
But as I was already tinkering with the rig again I decided to mod my mod a bit. I didn't like how the locking ring did not always like to actually tighten in the locked position, even after tightening the firing button as much as it would tighten. It would just always unscrew or the locking ring would just spin and risk the thing firing in my pocket. Not a good feeling.
So I took apart the bottom of the mod, and removed the firing button and locking ring. I put one drop of superglue on the firing button threading and re-installed it without the locking ring, as that thing was just too much of a hassle and too unreliable for my tastes. A 5 minute trip from work to the local Home Depot and I had a solid brass 5/8" compression cap which fit perfectly over the firing button, and looks good, with another plus being this thing never misses a fire at all anymore and it is much easier to fire as well.
Here are a few photos of how the mod came out looking:
With the ego to 510 adapter and inverted cone sleeve on the top (I have a brass version coming in the mail as well) it really looks like a mini lightsaber now!

How too make the bottom switch work better:
I just clamped the bottom pin in a pair of vise grips and use an axe saw too make a slot,slots are good,i like slots.
VV I also inserted a small very thin copper washer inside the pin and nut connection as i found it helps too snug it up tighter and as a bonus i get better conductivity V V

You know what that's what pisses me off about these mod makers. yes they put time and effort into there mods i can respect that but in no way does it cost so much to make there mods that they have to charge those outrageous prices. Like damn really 200 bucks for a aluminum and brass device? ...
I assume you mean the battery and if that's the case you'll know its time to charge when your vape gets really weak and eventually stops producing vapor.
The pin kept loosening off and made the bottom button wobbly,also my pin was a tad short and i had too insert a copper washer inside the pin

If you were to hold one, see it in person and if you knew what it took to make one, you'd understand. I work at a machine shop and I can't get the material for the price of this clone. Then take into the account the man-hours it takes for the flawless threading, a true mirror like polish polish and the hand engraving....

Hi guys, I would like to know if the m16 and v3 clone are made of 100% brass or if there are some parts of them that are plated, I read that the TVS was plated. I hate plated stuff...
Thanks!
Thanks!
Awesome ebhomepc! Then I'm definitely buying a couple of them ^^
Has any of you tried the trident clone from FT? Looks exactly like the real deal.

Of course you cant get the materials for the clones price you're in the US.The original is made in the Philippines and selling it for 200 US dollars is alot of profit for them your paying for the brand.This clone hits just as hard as the original sentinel for 1 10th of the price if you round it up to 20 dollars. i believe the original to be over priced i have np paying money for something i deem worthy of an example would be my provari i had np dishing out the cash. This mod's materials do not justify the cost for me it just doesn't.
