Introducing the Precise Strata RDA

[linkagge]

Last night I got home and my Strata was waiting for me I was so excited!! So I opened it up, threw it on my P+ 18650, quickly built a coil, noticed that there was some battery wiggle, went to fire it and nothing.. I think I'm in the same situation with having to puzzle together washers and O-Rings to get it to work... I'm very disappointed considering I've had this P+ brand new for over 2 years and have NEVER used it, because I couldn't find a rebuildable that either worked at all due to no airflow, or didn't make a connection in the 510 connector.. I then promptly put the whole thing on the shelf and said screw it..

When I saw the Strata was coming out, I thought OMG FINALLY something that's gonna just WORK for this device, unfortunately I was let down, now reading about other's problems with trying to puzzle together some sort of way to make theirs work, i'm not quite sure what to do..

David what do you suggest we use to get it to work on our P+'s..?

I'm going to say a possible quick fix might be to get a thin magnet to go on top of the battery to fill in the space. But I'm sure David will chime in soon about this. He may have a better idea up his sleeve.

I've identified the problem, the switch screw is too short to be able to add enough washers. Older Precise's prior to the locking button had a longer switch screw that you could add more washers to , but the newer ones with the locking button had a shorter screw that you could add 3-4 washers max too. A temporary fix will be a magnet on your battery (if anyone has a link to some small flat magnets they use, please feel free to share).

As a permanent, correct solution, i'll machine up some of the older style long switch contact screws for everyone who bought a PrecisePlus version and get them out to you as soon as I can with orings and washers, no charge. The correct set up should be approximately (depends on what brand IMR battery) 2 thick, 1 thin oring and 5-6 washers.

Am I the only one about to lose it watching a stagnant usps tracking page for a week straight lol?

I have a stack of these powerful jobbies

Magnetic Battery Spacers - Avid Vaper

Probably cheaper somewhere else.

A closer look of what an ophion coil looks like... this is one of the first ophions I have built. The coil mimics a shank type heating element.

Nach has all the details on how to build the coil... he's working on the tutorial

Anyone else waiting on Simplicity Strat shipping confirmation? Still nothing here.

 

[kscoggins]

No shipping confirmation for me. Patiently waiting and checking email every 10 minutes

Thanks David, that's great. As I noted, I'm doing okay with the longer efest button tops, but I've got a bunch of AWs that I could use too.

Don't cancel. Hang in there. You may love it.

 

[aah1988]

Don't cancel. Hang in there. You may love it.

I know..and it should be shipping anytime soon..just some money issues that I need to sort out

 

[Danielsuzuki]

Agreed, you can always put it up on the classies. No reason to cancel until you know for sure. Not much longer...

 

[Drozd]

Hmm...will an 18500 and a kick fit into a precise+ 18650 when the strata is added?....guess it'd be easier to ask how tall the kick is, if anyone knows...
