first impressions:
1. I guess the comments of others about paper towell packaging had an effect, they sent mine is a black velvet bag like a crown royal bottle would be in but smaller and it was wrapped in bubble wrap. nice but not needed guys
paper towel is good with me as long as the item is protected with the bubble too.
2. It smells of maching oils, I wiped it down and greased the threads with some anti-sieze, but it still smells like machining/ cutting oils. I will take the battery out and wipe it down inside w/ alcohol, I am sure it will smell nicer after that.
As a powder coater, I tend to look and scrutinize (I got the matte black one), I have to say job well done, very smooth, threads protected cleanly (nice edge to end of pc)
3. at 3.7 volts, its more than I will ever need as far as vapor production, crap, I'm using a 510 and am totally satisfied with its performance, the SB is a beast that will satisfy even the hardest of vaporheads.
4. I bought it (SB) and 4-3.7 batteries because I have heard the horror stories of dead batteries with the joye 510 , but seriously, I vape the 510 and one batt last me 5+ hours and one cartridge filled with 8 drops last approx. 3 hours or so (I guess I dont vape as much, just when I get an urge to smoke, I grab it and vape a couple and put it down, 24 mg / 1.5 pack/day guy) The SB will def. be for my daily travels as I think that fat battery would probably last me an easy day or more and I can go w/ confidence w/o carrying a spare battery. The SB is 6061 machined thick/rugged enough that its not going to get damaged, the battery is protected and the switch won't engage on its own, toss it in your pocket and go about your way.
5. I mentioned the awesome vapor production, I feel I should mention, I havent had any leakage of any kind, I guess I fill cartridges and/or drip a bit moderately than others and for me, its an awesome well made mod, that stays dry and hits with the 510 like the heavyweight contender that it is, and thats at it's intended 3.7 volts.
In closing, This vapin' noob has nothing but good things to say about the SB and its construction quality, ease of use, the switch is extremely nice and well located and the performance is what I expected it to be and it didnt dissapoint. In fact, its probably ...... at me for holding it back (3.7 compared to 6) so to speak. The SB is plenty wicked if you have grapes enough to hit it, I think it would probably drop me to the ground if I was to toke like I've seen some do on the videos, Lord knows it will produce some vapor!
