Sadly, that's what that mod is called (one of the names for it anyway). :facepalm: I emailed Doris...
But hey, at least they're not selling sex toys, like FT! :p

Oh, I know. Checking FT's new arrivals each day is often good for a laugh. This morning though, my laugh came from FC.

Chipotle.
I was one of the first into the pre-order, so my Lethal arrived earlier today. Holy crap I have never been so happy to have a clone arrive, the minute I pressed the button one time I knew it was for me.

All of my other mechanical boxes have been kicked to the curb, this thing might seem a little flimsy without batteries in it as it's so light but that means it weighs less than my Osmium or Cherry bomber, even though it has 3 batteries. Words do not describe how much this button rules, it has a spring in the button but the spring is entirely isolated from the electrical contact path, so it can never melt! The way the button installs into the mod is also completely awesome, once you unscrew the top 510 plate the button of the switch slides out and leaves the real mechanical workings of the switch exposed. This switch is a phenomenal thing, I've only had it for ~12 hours but I can't say enough about it, I was nervous that the switch may be a bad clone version but NO, it's GREAT.

Here's some pictures and a break down of why the switch is so good IMO, it can operate entirely without the button and it doesn't rely on a spring to keep the contacts apart.

The Mod:

The batteries are very close, but do not touch when installed

To remove the 510 top plate, you take out the two small brass screws to the left of this shot.

There are two solid brass rods which carry the current from the brass base plate to the 510 top plate, pull straight up.

Full shot of the brass rods.

Once the top plate is out, you slide the button plate upwards and out. This portion isn't even necessary to fire the mod, and it takes in NO current.

The back side of the button has a hard plastic nub, not metal. You can see the solid copper reed switch and brass bus bar in this shot which carries current.

The button pushes down the copper reed which makes contact with the positive bus bar, I'm really quite impressed at this switch design personally. No more hot button worries or melted springs!

I'll give an update after a week or so of use, as of right now this is pretty much perfect for me.
Followup;

After ~2 weeks of use I can report ZERO issues with the Lethal clone, it has become my most used mod for the sole reason that it will go through 15ml of juice at 0.12 ohms before the batteries need charged. Fantastic all-day mod, I've gone as much as 48 hours without charging, and all total I've vaped well over 120ml of juice with it. Really a great clone, zero and I mean zero misfires or no-fires at all, no issues of any kind! Loving it, Ordered another one!

About to do same stocking up for the rainy day (which in Finland is may 2016 ).
Any feedback of FEV Glass-kit, TGS2 or Big German?
Figuring with a handful of each will be well set for life (or 'til my juice runs out).

The FeV glass kit is great. I have a TGS2 on the way so hopefully its here soon.

Hey roxy, gotten the T-GS2 yet?
Kinda waiting for some RELIABLE feedback before pulling the trigger.

Got it a couple days ago, and love it. Now I want the 22mm one also, but need to sell some tanks first because I have way too many.

That would be a OK, then?
Nice, now all I need is to choose from those mech boxes, think I'll go Lethal now.

Definitely. Well made and machined. No problems of any kind. Very good flavor. Took me a little bit to figure out how to build it due to a threaded base instead of the press fit one on the Flash e. Make sure you screw your base on before you put the part with the mesh feeder wicks on or your wick will get pulled out of place by the straws :facepalm: D'oh!

In theory it ought to improve flavour, never really noticed a huge difference.
In use it's kinda pita.
Quite brittle and usually it's slotted for way too thin wick, granted most atties I've had ceramics were at the days of silica& NR-R-wire.
Also ceramic cools down slowly if it gets really hot possibly causing issues with dry cotton. Never experienced this, so might be just "in theory".

Looks a lot like oldies like Odysseus, don't know how well that works with cotton, never could get my iAtty to work with cotton.
Personally would give that one a wide berth, looks too much like a (bad) blast from past.

I'm unlucky, i ordered yesterday a "cherry bomber" (first order on this website) and the order don't appear on the entire website. Only in my paypal. A little stressfull.
Fingers crossed...

edit : Just the time to write this reply and to send an email to Doris ... and the problem is solved in a Sunday. Damn, great service.
