CARAVELA 3 TUBE MOD SET ** FIRST IMPRESSIONS **
Straight out of the box, I am not disappointed. Based on initial impressions this Caravela set appears to be all that I was told it would be, which is a 3 Tube (18350/500/650) version of the EHpro 18350 Caravela that I previously purchased from Focalecig.
First thing that I should point out is that this mod set IS NOT made by EHpro, even as it is quite similar in many ways, but also different in some other ways. I also have no idea what manufacturer makes this particular Caravela clone however, I can tell that they absolutely took their cues from the EHpro version of the Caravela.
Here are some pictures including the original packaging (forgive my grubby fingerprints on the tubes) :
Right away I am very pleased with both the look of this tube set, and the quality and feel of it. Like the EHpro, these tubes are thick, heavy, and machined very well. All of the threads are smooth, although they need to be cleaned to remove excess machine oil and dirt.
Please note that this set IS NOT compatible with the 18350 EHpro Caravela that Focalecig sells (I tried

)... the threading is different, so you will not be able to interchange parts with the mixed 18350 Caravela.
Also important user notes for those who may receive their set before I have a chance to do a full review .. there is a dual adjusting copper 510 pin in the top cap (see photos), one part of the adjustment is for flush mount fitting of your top device, and the lower part of the pin is used to adjust for battery rattle. You will need a pair of pliers to grip the upper part of the adjustment, which I used in order to unscrew the pin so that I could flush mount my Taifun GT. I was not able to move it with my fingers.
If you are using nipple top batteries, you will need to remove the lower part of the 510 pin altogether in order to fully close up the tubes. This part of the 510 pin unscrews very easily by hand, just make sure you put the pin somewhere safe while its not in use, as you will absolutely need to adjust for battle rattle with flat top batteries.
The brass negative contact in the switch is also a bit long, which then makes for a long throw on the switch. Unlike the EHpro Caravela, you cannot screw the contact in any further to shorten the throw. If you want to shorten the throw, you will need to place a tiny o ring around the neck of the brass contact screw, which will result in a much shorter throw. But the size of the o ring will matter ... too big, and the switch will auto fire your device. I will update this further, later in my review.
