JD Mods Stingray- CLONE

[roflwaffles]

My hype for my Tobeco piece has fell dramatically

 

[Jerms]

I sanded down the delrin on my Nemesis clone's switch. Got it down to a very short throw and use magnets. I love it, almost feather touch action but still doesn't fire when set down.

4th has me beat. Here are my gaps:

 

[the4thpower3]

Would be cool if nemie tube was threaded same but it isn't.

Only mod I can think of is shave 0.25 mm from hot pin and 0.25 mm from lower main tube to decrease lock ring gap 0.25 mm. It would be difficult to shave more than 0.25mm because of short body tube length.

The Nem and Stingrays switch and lock ring are interchangeable. Just the top cap isn't.
Get a hybrid adapter and get rid of the topcap all together

I've seen a shaved Nem before.

Is there a hybrid kit for the Stingray yet?

I'm hoping FastTech stocks more of the hybrid kits. Can't beat $3.

Just polished and soap washed mine. Looks better now.. I didn't really like the dark markings.

Oh, for those looking at FT versions.

FT just posted another white box polished brass version today.
But in the pics FT posted - there are no battery vent air hole slots in the button.
I wouldn't suggest buying it unless this is shown otherwise.

SKU or link for this please
Edit:I got it

Well I got my Hcigar stingray yesterday and its not bad. Threads were clean and are super smooth, everythings how it should be but I do have a problem. My button keeps getting stuck, not stuck like it keeps firing but I have to keep pulling it back out. Hits like a beast though. The engravings on it arent the best, there already fading with the soak I did which is fine cause I think itll look better, the logo on the bottom button is just god awful though, like they should of just not even attempted it in the first place.

Where's the pics at HeiSINberg???

Take your button apart and clean it.

My button would drag on the tube at certain clockings. It did stick a few times but I already shimmed it for short throw.. It was perfect after polishing some meat from the main tube below locking ring.

Thanks 4th!

I run similar setup with fat daddy vape kit.

Well, I got what I paid for...... Not impressed with the Tobecco Sting Ray at all, probably sell for what I paid to re-coop the cash. I was worth a try.

 

[emus]

Didn't get what I paid for. The FT Ray took only a few tweeks to make it near perfect.

 

[the4thpower3]

After getting my tobeco sting sorted - it's doing just fine. Surprisingly it's the only one that I have that didn't come with a crunch switch lol.

...well, today is vape mail day for my Infinite Tree of Life clone and Castle rda clone. Gonna go take some pics

lol. don't rub it in. haha.
I'm laughing cuz I like my two FT versions better than my tobeco that I paid the most for and waited the longest for.
And I still have another SS FT version coming. What the hell is wrong with me??????

I'm interested in Tree of Life if body finish looks nice as is. Can't buff those shallow etchings w/o loosing em. Can buff the caps.

It's like sparkle brushed. Not like straight lines. It's kinda weird. I did a light straight brush on it already. Logo is still fine.

All part of the game. Clones are like a box of chocolate

 

[HeiSINberg]

The only reason why I didnt post pics is cause it honestly looked no different than any of the other pics of the stingray clone. And I did clean it, soaked for over 30 mins in an ultra sonic cleaner.

My button was doing the same thing. I found by cleaning/polished the tube and threads, plus tightening the delrin insert in the button, it stopped sticking. Works great now.
