It's all true what you say, but you may not have considered: 1. I'm desperately grasping for any justification to buy a Stingray, and 2. I choose to believe in a future where everything is 22mm.

Unfortunately in the actual future everything is 28mm and me and all my sweet ... vape kit are getting evicted for not paying the rent.

OK then, let me help you ... Buy the Stingray X, the new Squape R is 22mm, and the clone should be coming shortly. And then buy a new 23mm mod for your current Squape, so she can have a proper home, and BAM! Now you have a sexier collection of gear. :banana:

If you want to be sexy, and happy then just do everything that I tell you :laugh:

Yeah I like the visible strokes style of brush finish, I actually thought that was only an aspect of the clone though.

I do as well, very much so, it makes the stainless gleam more IMO, as opposed to just being shiny ... I have a few brushed mechs, and the one's with the heavier brush patterns are my favorites. Aside from the beautifully done copper accents, the brushed finish of X is what really had me :drool:

The SXK Stingray X. I could have sworn it said Infinite Stingray X when I ordered it. That's the one I was commenting on.

I forgot that the 4nine cap worked with the Stingray threading, thanks for the reminder. Although it isn't necessary, I do like the insulating delrin disc that comes with the Nemesis adapter along with the brass bit for the too short or center pin recessed atomizers. So I was thinking more of that sort of design over the bare 4nine cap. But I'll get a pair of 4nine caps to have handy here. And as a plus they already have the holes in them. No need to drill any like with the FastTech offerings.

No, only those SR X's that are being resold by Infinite have their branding on it .. These were ordered directly from SXK's factory, cutting out the middle man that is Infinite. Many vendors are using both names together to sell the product however, I am sure that pretty soon all vendors will simply go straight to SXK, its cheaper.

That is why many of the US group buys are charging $50 total, the have to pay for Infinite's mark up.

:blink: ...now, with too short/almost-flush atty pins in hybrid mode on the SRX, wouldn't one run into the same issues as one would on a 4Nine (particularly shorting)?

Ahahaa .. I was just saying to myself " here we go, its the 4nine all over again, kinda" .. the issue with short pins and the 4nine was in part about the potential to short out, but mostly its about how short 510 pins affect the throw, and switch action on the 4nine. With the adjustable switch on the X, at least this aspect is not a concern.

I will say that I will not use the SR X's hybrid with a short pin and flat top batteries because I feel like the larger surface area of the flat top, increases the potential for a short, while a nipple top has a much smaller surface area, and is rounded, so its less likely to make "metal to metal" contact during use. It still requires awareness, and caution regardless though.

    Yes but oh no....it doesn't look right in black at all, can't believe going to say this, but looks much better in the stainless, so maybe no stingray x for me :(

    Darling, I hate to say this but I knew it would be ugly before I even saw it :( No offense to anyone who has it, but just as I think the Stingray X is one of the most aesthetically attractive mechs released this year, I also think that the black copper Stingray is one of the ugliest mechs in existence period. :blink: I turn a sour face every time I see it (true story).

    I was supporting your desire for a black version because that is what good friends do! :) Even though you tell me all the time that the Squape aka lighthouse is ugly all the time :laugh:

    I have the black stingray, bad choice where I got it from, you know that place you hate (which I still don't know the story why you do) the engraving is horrible, they send a replacement switch with it, but nothing telling why, but I had already seen it posted on their FB page, they was sending replacement switch because the one that came with it, stuck to the body, causing the mod to stay firing.

    Well I put in the replacement switch as soon as turned up, guess what, it also sticks to the body and is really crunchy, I have made it better than it was, but still not great. Also the engraving is horrible on it, can't even tell it says stingray, but now it is scratched up, as it has become my work mod. But I will say it does hit good, I have just got to make sure button not stuck after a vape.

    The only really good thing I got from that stingray, was the drip tip, looks really good on the TOBH :laugh:

    If I decide to get the black 4nine for work, then the stingray will be put away, it is not nice enough to go on my vape shelf, so will be thrown in a draw to collect dust.

    Nikki squape is a lighthouse, but talk about a turn around, that new squape r, won't be able to give you any grief about that one when you get it, because I know you will once it's cloned ;)

    Oh wow really? They were sending out replacement switches with the original mod? :blink: If a mod sucks that bad upfront, and they know it, just stop selling it :facepalm:

    I don't talk about why I didn't like them because I think its evil to go about, and continually speak about who, and what you don't like. I spoke plenty when it was all first going down, but since that time, I let it go .. its not like they did something bad to me personally, there were just things that were being done previously that I didn't like, or appreciate. My honey boo Doris told me to forgive, and forget, so that is what I have done. :)

    I know that most of the above makes no sense at all, but go with it Nailzy :laugh: Sorry about your Suckray though :p ... and you have told no lies darling, when that Squape R clone is done, Nikkita will be manifesting one :banana:

    I do actually like the look of the black and gold on the stingray, not the x though, it was just done badly on the one I got, and don't want to spend another $25-30 on another, only to get another bad one, so my stingray days might be over :(

    So that was my time done using them, think it was bad they sent a replacement switch and didn't even have anything to say why, yes the replacement wasn't much better, but that is not the point.

    Oh I got to know the story now, I will have to go searching, will not sleep till I find it.....ok might of pushed it at the no sleep part :laugh:
