He knows about the 510 issue. He is mailing out the control head with new caps to everyone that received theirs with paid shipping to mail the old head back. He didn't find the issue because he tried vivi novas and Kanger tanks. They all fit. He didn't try a high end atomizer. All the heads should ship tomorrow or Friday from what he told me. As far as the rocker switch goes, each part of the rocker sits on a separate button. I have no issues with mine. If one is more sensitive than the other that is the dna20 board issue not the device.

My 510 have been fixed of course and the taps are a better solution but no damage has been done and they will not deteriorate as there is nothing more to do. Unless you keep putting in larger and larger 510 connections ( I don't know where you would get them) the threads will remain buttery. They certainly are deep enough. Positive pin adjustment is all that's needed for the flush fit. Use the skinny post. Put that brass bolt option away for a rainy day.
Rocker switch is just fine on mine. No issue whatsoever. Minor scratches that I wouldn't see unless someone said look.
Looked at a highly regarded Poldiac a lil closer and there are machining marks in the indents. Not that I care, just used as a comparison.

I dont really know who would make a device and not test it thoroughly before they send it out. I also do not know what kind of mod maker only uses cheap carto's and clearo's. The last few pages here have been a complete disappointment. Thank you guys for spreading the word. PS I hate scratches! - Its bloody new!

Aiyiyiyiyi, Id' hate to be the one misleading anyone into thinking this is a less than quality device. Being part of a product's launch, any product's launch, is going to be part beta testing of both the product and the process. I hope folks who got in on the pre-order understand that.
I am not disappointed and I was not clamoring for it prior to arrival. The cerakote is flawless. It's a solid build with a machined 510 connection. Not a 510 female receptacle inserted into the top cap but one machined unscratched unit. I'd probably be able to rub out any visual flaws in the rocker switch but they are not obvious. I suppose I should only state the positives as so many blow the negatives so out of proportion. You won't be disappointed folks. You are getting what you paid for and hoped for. The 510 is being handled and I hope he doesn't send me one cause I am fine.

Thank you for your insights.

I appreciate your candor.

I agree, everone is hammering the guy to get them out and im sure they are working overtime in assembly and this isnt the first mod where they forgot to clean the threads a little better. not too long ago was an atty released the same way, no one panicked they just did it themselves.
it is easy to see how that could get over looked. if that and some minute scratches on a plastic button are the biggest problems im all in. as for the top cap issue it is clear they are doing something about it, so everyone needs to relax and let them do their thing before judgment is passed.

For the most part I totally agree with you. Give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them to take care of the problem which it sounds like they are. The caps really should have been caught but hey, maybe he just doesn't vape rebuildable atties... They really should be sending tracking numbers too for their own protection if nothing else. The rocker switch from what I remember reading is aluminum. Is that true? If so is the finish polished or brushed? Either way it shouldn't come with scratches on it superficial or not but it's not a deal breaker. I'm still super stoked to get mine! Probably will be awhile though. Mine's titanium blue.
 
I'm just sad because tomorrow a fedex package will leave to Brazil, I am one of the first 100 and I can't talk to him! If I had any date I could try to stop it, but its just sitting there for 2 weeks waiting for this! Brazilian mail takes up to two months to process shipping Fedex takes 7 sometimes 3 days! But I don't have the funds to use fedex everyday, so I think I will just see my futura next year!

I am seriously considering selling my spot and buy something that I could use, but even that I can't do because I can't reach him!

The 510 connection with burrs is no surprise to me, it happens often with even the million dollar mods. It's become a common place issue, but is easily fixable. I think china cranks them out? It doesn't matter, who does, really. I've even seen them in various depths and color tones, yet they're all supposedly the same. (Unless handmade).

Thanks for the reviews so far & please Keep us updated!

Rocker switch is probably aluminum. Brushed would be a better choice for the finish but it is polished.

The top cap, drip well and 510 connection appear to be milled from a single piece of stainless steel.
Nothing is press fit that I can tell. In other words it was manufactured in the USA and will last a very long time.
The issue with the threads was that the recessed portions of the thread was too thin and the raised portion was too fat.
A pressed in 510 might have had an issue withe the torque I applied getting them right. This solid ss block just didn't mind.
The only problem that might have occurred is where the top cap meets the body and that did not become a problem as it is solidly assembled.
The fix on returned heads will be a breeze for them.
Just noaloxed all the the threads. Everything threads smoothly.
You should be able to make any atty flush with the thin post.
My learning curve is just about over. This thing is a beast . I have taken it up to 20 watts and only the 28 gauge wire kept the coil from popping.

how are the air flow channels at the top of the device if you flush mount a carto tank or something like that ? They look a little shallow on their website.
Glad to see some positive comments flowing in after the initial "Oh no" reactions came out. It really is impressive that they are sending out replacement heads.
Really looking forward to getting mine.

i think if the people on here have the money to buy a premium mod will have a premium atty to torque down and clean out the threads i would not advise using a softer material atty for this application i have the AC9 as a tough as nails atty ( this too had thread problems when sent out) but my AL-1 is way too soft for a task like this thats why i put a link for the thread cutter incase someone out there was getting their first premium product
