Quick review with pictures!

After much research, I decided to order one of these: $20.79 Launcher Telescopic Mechanical Mod - stainless steel / copper contacts at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It took about 3 weeks to arrive but I am loving it!

Pros...
Solid
Small
Buttery smooth threads
Copper contacts
Hits harder than my Magneto
Adjustable 510 connection
No threads show in 18650 mode like a Magneto

Cons...
Edges on air channels a little sharp
Heavy (I like it but it does weigh more than my MVP2/Aerotank!)
Top has odd size taper, guessing 20mm wide
Body is 25mm wide so just about any tank is not going to look uniform

Pros or Cons...
Recessed button with no locking ring (personally I like not having to lock and unlock constantly)
Different style (some say robot phallic...)
Not a true telescopic (remove a section to use in 18350 mode)
Doesn't have the Raivapes logo which is good but has a weird "K" logo instead


I bought this as a solid, inexpensive beater mod. It fits so nice in my hand like a roll of quarters and the button has a short relatively soft press. I love how beefy and strong it feels yet is so small.

Here it is in 18650 mode compared to a deck of cards and my Magneto

I've got a Trident V2 clone coming soon that will have a home on top of my Launcher.

Anyone else have one and what are you using for a topper on it?

got one on the way as well. wanted the v2 but wasn't willing to wait for a week (and then some) before it shipped. I read that a chi-you top cap fits well and makes it look nicer, as in not bevelled

I believe you are correct about the chi-you top cap. I originally ordered the V2 but after waiting for 2 weeks for it to come off "restocking", I cancelled it and ordered the V1. I'm not the least bit sad I did! The only thing that sucked was after it was packaged it sat for 11 days as "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" until it hit Jamaica, NY. Then it took another 3 days to get to Maine. March 18 to April 2, not to bad for Slowtech.
