When does it look like you'll have your Hussar?
Cool! I can't wait to hear what you think about it! Thanks.
Mine is at the customs office 
. So sad.
These guys are doing a great job lately and snatched the last 3 items from China for inspection. Unfortunately most of the Fasttech / Gearbest stuff is not declared correctly -> 6-8 weeks processing time, paperwork....

Absolutely amazing! After 3 weeks "stuck in customs" my SC Coppervape Hussar finally arrived.
Impressions: Mine was pre seasoned with "machineoil fresh" and in need of a thorough washup.
Machining is really good.
Supplied O-rings do seal but 2 of them "left" the atty without mechanical intervention (beeing oversized) and were replaced with ones from the supplied spares kit (which also includes spare screws).
Tank seals completely in closed position an can be removed without any spillage from the deck when filled.
Wick holding ring is not easily removable, tolerances are a bit too tight - not a huge issue as you can easily wick it without removing the ring. Polishing the inside of the ring fixes that issue but the hassle is not worth it IMHO.
Flavour is absolutely excellent, draw could be a bit more open for my taste and is tighter (approx like the VG4 mini fully open) than the DC clone version. Gotta check the airflow pin closely when when I wick it next time, maybe there is an obstruction.
I did for obvious reasons not install the airflow reduced pin - so I cannot comment on that feature other than "it's in the box..."
This clone is great value for the money in my opinion.

I am so happy to hear this! Thank you very much!
A few questions for you, please.
Are you an MTL or DL vaper?
What kind of build did you put in it? Is the build deck easy to work with?
Is the airflow, without the airflow reducer pin, more like a restricted DL or MTL?
How easy or difficult is the wicking?

Did you have sjmy version? it is 1:1 clone so you can swap the deck with sjmy deck? Pls post your build pic 
I am a DTL vaper. I put in 2,5mm 0,40 SS304 8Hz slightly spaced.
Airflow is not MTL but restricted DTL.
Wicking is dead easy but from the width of the coil 8Hz is about the max you get without going microcoil or put the coil diagonaly.
Yes I do also have the sjmy DC version. I have not tried to swap the Deck with that one - the Coppervape version has better build quality and better machining. I might have tried to swap it if the airflow was equal to the DC version (then I would have planned to order a deck and convert the sjmy).

Update: I did just disassemble the SC version to check for obstructions in the airflow. Unfortunately there are none meaning the SC version really has that tight a draw 
. Trying the drill bit next....

Thanks A-C-E! This makes me very happy! I will order the SC Coppervape version right away.
Just read that coppervape will inclide 1.3 mm airflow pin on next batch. Damnnn I just put hussar on the basket. I hope they will sell the pin and micro tank on seperate
Nice job coppervape... A new airflow 1.3mm pin seem provide a good MTL
Has your Hussar arrived? Did it come with the Hussar you got at Fast Tech or can you buy it separatly? Are you liking it?
Mine came from FT Yesterday I just put a simple spaced 2.5 mm coil between the posts.
The build quality is good but not the best! I have several SMJY clones of other attys & their build quality is better. I ordered the spare plastic tank from the SXK version & it don't fit, the juice slots are different. The Air flow (no restrictor) is pretty good for me. The flavour is real good! Wicking is real simple & works great! JFC seals nice no flooding or leaking when filling. IMO this up there with all the best single atty clones available today. 2 Thumbs Up!

What a bummer about the spare tank, but it sounds like your purchase is a major win overall! Congratulations! Would you compare it -- flavor wise -- to other single coil RTAs known for flavor or to the Kabuki or Vika?
I am so happy to hear the wicking is good and there's no leaking so far! Thank you very much for your post and pics!
The spare tank was less than 2 bucks, no big loss
I would say flavour wise it's as good as a Rose V3 & a Hurricane V3 Maybe a little better than a K-F V5 & a Squape X dream It has a good liquid capacity, a little better than Rose or Hurricane V3's
I like mine, would recommend it

Thank you for this! It sounds like it is right up my alley!
