Has anyone bought this? I am waiting for mine to come in the mail. Any feedback would be appreciated.

is it the all aluminum version or the brass stainless version? does it have the silver plated contacts?
I have both, the original M16 and the clone in stainless steel/brass, and I can tell you the clone I have is better than the original.
Sweet! I have the stainless steel/brass one coming. I can't wait for it to get here. Now if only they would say that my rda is on the way I would be even happier.
i have 4 of the stainless and brass with silver plated contacts.. gave 2 out to people getting into mechs and rdas ... they hit harder than hulk when angry !!! might want to keep an eye on how far your button is screwed in or out... hot button is no joke ...

From Caliavpers:
You'll need to replace the spring. This looks like a common issue with the springs GV uses so I hoped they source these from some other place from this point on. The Private v2 has the same exact issue so you may want to find an Ace Hardware and look for a #148 compression spring for 75 cents. Cut that in half to match the length of the GV spring and install normally. It'll be stiff and you may have to lengthen the throw, but it'll be consistent.

magnets instead of springs can fix the hot button issues... sticky springs can cause the firing button to stick in on position and your battery could heat up the button ... if so deal with it immediately by unscrewing mod and get battery out and check it to make sure the battery doesnt get any hotter... if the battery goes nuclear quickly give it to ....richard durbin ....

I have the full brass sentinel from fasttech. it was my cheapest mech. its also my favorite.
Looks like I will just have to take your word on that for now. This is my first mod and I will just have to see it to understand what you're talking about. Thanks for the advice though... Who is Mr. Durbin you speak of?
I recently purchased the last Hcigar M16 Sentinel clone from 101Vapes. The one pictured on the website looks like matte grey, but the one that was shipped to me was stainless steel. Now that I have the mod, I'm happier to have the SS version. Threads are super smooth, floating pin is a big plus and definitely hits much harder than any of my other clones.
Using it primarily with an EhPro Kayfun w/ nano kit in 18490 mode.

the mr durbin to whom i refer is the politician who wants to ban e cigs... got to wonder who his paymaster is...
Since we're talking about hot battery issues, I would like to point out that battery swaps are faster in my m16 clone than any other mod I've had
I've had two M-16 clones, one in brass and aluminum, and one all stainless, the aluminum versions threads pulled out with one of my tanks (metal bonding...should have known) but the ss version is still going strong and is my favorite mod

Mine works really well. Like most bottom firing pins, it tends to loosen up. But, it's easy to screw back in once in a while
