iSeason Mechanical Mod -- Adam clone w/brass contacts

[crxess]

Did you set the batteries side by side?
Doesn't the top pin screw down to take up slack?

Also - 2mmx6mm magnets work great for spacing issues.

Edit - Just looked again. The spring screws in/out to make adjustment on this one.

Tough deciding what mod to go with, this or the Natural! They both seem built really well. I guess I just have to decide between bottom and pinky button.

If you go for a Natural, make sure it's a V2 with brass contacts.

Spring screws in and out ? I'll give that a try and report back. Thx

I'm an idiot. Never had a mech like this. Works like a charm after I learned how to unscrew spring

Now if I just knew how to lock the fire button.

It's working great

Nice; I'm glad you got it sorted. I was out of commission for a few days. Sorry for not answering sooner.

I wasn't aware there was a Natural V2 either. Off to search, although as far as I'm aware the Natural is pinkie-button as well.

The Natural is a pinkie , I have the brass contact one and love it

Where is the brass contact model? For the price they were going for, I might just pick one up, but a bit of research isn't finding this V2.

I just unscrewed the contact and sanded both ends. Voila, brass contacts.....at least I think it's brass.....looks like brass!

Sorry, did not mean to get off track with this tread.

No problem, it doesn't seem this device has much interest here. I'm still loving mine. I just got an IGO-L and it goes great with this mod. Battery life on an 18350 with a 1.5ohm coil is great (more a function of it being a mechanical mod than anything else), so it makes a great little pocket device for out and about. I'm impressed with this setup. The Provari is seeing a lot of "drawer time" lately.

Hey guys. So it doesn't say V2 exactly. HOWEVER, if you read the discription in this link that says that its different from the 1st gen of The Natural. Here's what it say exactly and quote "The first generation of The Natural had a conical sloped top and was ill-received. SMOKtech redesigned the top to make it a much more attractive flat top with dimples in the stainless steel cap. This cap unscrews from the rest of the mod independently and has a center pin than can be loosened or tightened by a wide flat 'screw'.".

It remains unclear as to if the contacts are brass but if the pin is indeed adjustable I would assume it is brass. I'm definitely picking one up even though I've never heard of this site before..

Here's the link as promised.
New! The Natural (FLAT TOP) Mechanical Mod by SMOKtech - Stainless Steel

Also as a side note. I've never tried either of the two mods but it would seem like the iSeason's button is a bit awkward in regards to how small in diameter it is and how far it pokes out from the base of the mod... Very strange. But I like how The Natural has a slightly larger looking button that resides a bit closer to the base of the mod. Seems like it wouldn't be as pokey sitting in your pocket. Well, that's my anyways!

That's just the normal Natural. That quote has been there since they changed from the tapered top to the flat top (quite a while ago) and many vendors are using the same quote. I've read that people are using sandpaper to reveal the "brass" (no one's really sure what it is yet, but it appears to be brass) contacts, but I don't think there's an "official" V2.

The button is based on the Adam, which is basically a GG clone. The GG button is widely regarded as excellent, and it sticks out like the iSeason button: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KEccZjRQmQg/UJ7hO56-nYI/AAAAAAAAA-4/KRf2HlXipZ0/s1600/goldengreek10120.jpg

Actually, I consider the button to be one of the best things about this mod. It's a simple mechanical design with a brass contact, and it never gets "hot" like I hear reported about the Natural button. I'll probably still pick up a Natural, but this mod gives you actual non-plated brass contacts, and what I consider to be a very solid design.

I agree I also love the button. Sure it is GG inspired as are a lot of mech devices around right now. The popular 2 which igetcha reviewed is pretty much an exact replica of the GG. I love the iseason for the button alone. It can be screw locked and It doesn't get hot for me either.

Thanks, SCW, for posting your photos and impressions. Very helpful in deciding to join the new CoOp by Pita. Looks like a winner.
