Yes. It is of brass, unplated, exceptionally long and works very well.
Mine came with them but I didn't need it if I used a button top bat or magnets
Yes,
Like snork said...unplated brass....mine needs at least 3 washers even when screwed all the way in...
I do need it with the AW 1600 mAh 18650...and 2 thick and 1 thin rubber washer with the strata on the p+ 18650...
Getting a good working coil setup on the strata has been radically different... coil height placement has been critical...
Right now, so far....32g quad micro coils finishing at 0.8 ohm has worked best for me (but I've only been playing with the strata about a day now....)
Attention Strata owners: For those who have received their Stratas, we've had a few customers experience shorts from the free drip tip we included with your Strata to the helix post that we didn't encounter during beta testing but a few in the field now have had. It appears that either the tip is loose (we do include a tighter oring for the tip you can try) or if the post is bent or not tightened down, it could contact causing a short.
All Strata units going out from 3/12 on we have enlarged the bottom drip tip hole to eliminate the problem. For those who have one already without the enlarged hole, the solution is easy, just switch to a regular tip (most all regular 510 drip tips work) and shoot us an email at supertmanufacturing@yahoo.com and we'll get you taken care of. Those who ordered from Cloud 9, we are sending them out some replacement tips and they can get you taken care of too.

For those looking to cloud chase, try the Ophion or my build below .( I haven't tried the Ophion yet, but it looks even better then my modified Snork wrap as it increases the wick and surface area even more) Remember, what may produce clouds on your old device may not work on the Strata and require a new build type like those below for you.
One of the things with the Strata is, it's extremely efficient at atomizing so builds that may have worked in the past on other devices, will not produce the same results on the Strata. I run a variation of the original snork wrap with ribbon wire, only I modified it to use two wicks split in the middle giving four feeding tails. With two it would get hot and harsh as it would atomize the liquid off faster then it could replenish. I guess if you could call the previous generation of RDA/RBA's as advanced user devices, you'd call the Strata an expert user devices as there are almost limitless setup combinations that can be done with it.
You can also Try the new Ophion wrap suggested by Nach which is a real fog machine or a variation of the pic below , only splitting the wick in the middle leaving 4 wick tails (two on the ends and two coming out the middle, its a pita to do though) . Both these types better keep up with the feed demands and maximize coil area and take advantage of the 360 airflow potential:
Thanks to Nach... I had an opportunity to take a quick crack at the Strata and I have to say it is very promising. The 360 air flow is perfect for the Ophion as Nach suggested. Long story short, this happened... and he was right!
Here's the vapor production... Video
My conclusion... it has a lot of potential. If I'm given the chance to have a good sit and build time on it, I can build the perfect ophion coil on it (unlike the rush build shown above) and it will produce more vapor.

Yep had this happen today...seems the center post loosened up a bit at some point while wicking.... entire top cap suddenly got real warm...small black spot on cap and on center post....Will send an email....
So the longer P+ switch post is made out of regular brass kind of getting rid of the rhodium goodness... other then using this I can do what, add magnets? If so what kind where do I order them? Not getting a connection at all with standard P+ screw, only rattling battery. not long enough to add enough washers :-(
Yes, they are brass. You can use your rhodium post with protected batteries but will need the brass post for IMR batteries on the 18500 or 18650 P+(18350 P+'s don't need the longer post with IMR's, only the 18500 and 18650) . All P+ that have shipped the last week or so have included the Brass post, extra washers and orings. If you haven't got one yet, shoot me and email to supertmanufacturing@yahoo.com
Why does everyone take me so serious around here, I guess no one caught the lol????
I have a P+ 18350. I had to put ext post, three washers and two small o rings. That's using the AW IMR button top 18350. I wonder if it's possible to fit an 18490? That would be a plus.
Edit: I think 490 is too tall.

umm, the satburn switch is most definitely not an identical design, and lower resistance coils are not a short, (not sure what you mean by that) and should not create a short as long as the switch is designed properly. Im not sure why you are suggesting to to intertwine springs in a properly designed switch in the first place as the current should pass through the plunger and body of the switch rather than the spring, the springs only job should be to return the plunger to its original position. The heat factor you are describing is when the spring heats up due to improper design, basically causing there to be a second coil inside the switch. None of that is an issue on andreas' switch and i think thats what matty was describing.
