I have the SharperTek XPS180-6L, which heats the solution to over 75 deg Celsius (and everywhere inbetween) and while it has some nice features like auto temp, timer, sweep and degas, I'm not entirely sure it is worth the additional cost.
I suggest you find one with a heating function and a frequency higher than 40Khz. Harbor freight makes a cheap one but I cannot attest to its reliability.
Not sure I follow... how does allowing the lock ring to wiggle make it easier to lock/unlock?
GP PAPS v2.5 LUX Edition is also posted as available during the sale.
Ah, OK - I was hoping for v2.5 SS actually.
The lock-ring doesn't wriggle, at all. Stays perfectly in plane.
It's just buttery smooth to spin. Totally a wonderful design.
U might have a QC issue there... pls contact Perseas.
Mine has a little wiggle when it's between locked and unlocked... It's rock solid when it's fully in one position or the other.
I think what Idaho is saying (not trying to speak out of turn) is that if the lock ring had the same tight tolerances that exist between cap/switch and the body, it wouldn't be as easy to lock and unlock with the swipe of a pinky. In fact, it would also result in you unscrewing the bottom cap when trying to lock it.
If the lock ring wobbles when it fully locked or unlocked, then yes, you probably have a problem.
One of my LUX switch lock rings has a little more play than the others between locked and unlocked, but nothing that is of concern, and I only notice this if I try to wiggle it between the locked and unlocked positions.

I only noticed it because the lock ring is starting to get kinda 'crunchy'... dunno how else to put it. When it screws into the unlocked position, I can feel a bit of a crunch.. I thought maybe the threads were dirty, but nothing's there, but I did see a little nick in the thread.. so I was wondering if that could be caused by loose threading.
If I hold it straight up/down, the ring doesn't catch.. if it's on an angle, it seems to catch more.
Anyway, I shot a quick vid to show the wiggle, are they all like this?
hmm.. video embed isn't working. http://youtu.be/wCvU-HJhaWo

Tomorrow (though 2am for me). 5 hours from now.
Isn't that tomorrow? I'm a little disappointed there aren't going to be any 18350 tubes... can't please everyone though.
Oh wow, yeah, the time difference, not used to that. Thanks for pointing that out. Well, I'll still be outta luck. I'll hopefully be in some serious REM by then. Here in Buffalo it'll be 5am I think and gots to work... sucks.
