I got an EH Pro Maraxus a couple days ago and While it has some minor quirks and things to watch out for, it is pretty nicely made and a hard hitting device.

With gold plated contacts, it actually hits harder than my scorpion. I have no means to check for voltage drop but I would guess it's much less than the scorpion which was considerably more $$. The floating 510 connector works very nicely as well. Only thing I can knock on it is the sharpness of the gear design. The inner edges are sharp and can actually cut you if you're not careful. I will be getting busy with the dremel soon. Its an easy fix but I was a bit surprised they would ship them out with that kind of edge.

If anyone out there has one please let me know your thoughts. I'm really digging this affordable mech!!

Got one on the way from madvapes.com along with an e-pipe and batteries.

Great!

It hits like a train and the switch is perfect! I've purchased a few mods based on some grim and busardo reviews where they stated the switches fired every time and found a few disappointments. This thing However, fires EVERY,EVERY time with only the slightest pressure!

I find it extremely cool looking but it's a heavy mech. The threads have some play in them but they are very smooth so when it's snugged up there is no battery rattle.

Looking forward to your experience!!

Happy Vaping!

Yep! I'm digging it more and more! It feels like a weapon though-lol. I cant get over how much I'm loving the switch on this thing.

How sharp are the gear designed inner edges on yours? That was my only issue but I've since fixed that with the dremel.

I usually always have two mods with me at work each day and the Maraxus gets the most "Thats too cool" comments from my co-workers. even the non-smokers/vapers think it's Bad ... looking.

Great buy for $55 +/- bucks!

Picked one up through Fasttech so no telling who gets to take credit for manufacturing. I can say without a doubt, It has no issue supplying power.
Running a Dual Dragon coil Gold Trident on top at .85 ohms.

Think I'll keep the sharp edges. At 60 they might hurt worse than a punch from my arthritic hands.:D

Don't have a kick, but doubt that it will fit, at least 18650 batts.The edges on mine aren't very sharp so I guess I lucked out there. That and the SVD get the most comments from people due to appearance. It is a top rate performer though and one I cannot recommend enough. I got mine on Fast Tech so don't know which company to thank. Whoever they are they did a fantastic job. I really cannot see how the original can be any better than this. High praise I know, but warranted in this case.

I love the look of this mod.
I don't mind heavy, that's acceptable in a stainless steel and brass device.

It IS hard to justify the $300 difference in the clone and an original, huh?
My first mech was a FT Clone and I am still very happy with it.

Before you go ahead and use your Dremel - try flipping the middle "Claw-Section" up side down like I did. See Picture.
