Need cheap mech mod that uses 18500 batteries.

[Dacholiday Dach]

I am trying to find a cheap mech mod that uses the 18500 battery, simply because I already have two of them. I have a ehpro sentinel actually two now, and the threads on them will no hold the tank. Madvapes already replaced it for me once but the second one is now useless as well. Would be nice if I could just buy a new top, but nope can't do it. I also have a k-103 which is ok but the button is too hard to press with my tiny arthritic hands. Any ideas. I really love the sentinel, but can't keep asking for replacements and sure aren't going to buy another one.
Help.

Kato box mod clone would be good for arthritic hands ... If not I recommend the stingray x clone by hcigar... Light button press and can convert to use 18350, 500, 650 and has a hybrid connector

Launcher v2 clone from fasttech.
made by Hotcig.
One of the most solid, durable, well made clones I've seen.
Looks best in 18500 mode but works with all 18xxx series batteries.
recessed button with solid copper contacts.
Hits like a heavyweight boxer.

If you like the sentinel you will love the Launcher.

Thanks, it appears everyone is out of the stingray. Don't much care for a box, way too bulky

Wow that place has almost everything. I have never ordered from across the big pond. Does it take forever?

About 2 weeks if you follow a few simple tips. Fast tech is a solid company.

Tips:
1. Only order items listed as "in stock" or "ships next day".
2. Do not order loose batteries. They cannot be shipped by air and take forever.
3. If they have more than one item, it's made by different manufacturers so read all reviews AND discussions before buying.

I've ordered over $1000 worth of gear from FT with zero problems.
They also have an excellent return policy and a return center in Florida.

The stingray clone i bought for my wife is a pain. The button always sticks now. However that Launcher that Bad Ninja advised is a solid purchase and you'll have that forever.

I have a carvella mechanical without the locking ring for my mother and she says it doesn't hurt her hands or wrists.

The Magneto works well and is inexpensive, the Stingray is nice as well.

I ordered the one you recommended. Now just waiting. Also while I was there ordered my daughter a couple of led bracelets. Will let you know how it turns out.
Thanks for turning me on to Fast tech. (Wow did I just date myself with that phrase)

Ok just got this in the mail, at first it didn't work then I realized the top screw wasnt hitting. Then it worked, but it quit again, and suddenly my battery popped inside the mod. So now I am afraid to try my other battery in it. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "popped"?

What atomizer are you using? Build? Resistance?

Do you have a multimeter?

Did you clean the mod before you used it?

What kind of battery and was it freshly charged?

There are a lot of variables and this will help eliminate some of them.

 

[Dacholiday Dach]

What do you mean by "popped"? The end of the battery busted and started leaking.

What atomizer are you using? Build? Resistance? I am using an Aspire bdc vivi nova 1.8 dual core

Do you have a multimeter? No

Did you clean the mod before you used it? No I didn't know I needed to.

What kind of battery and was it freshly charged? The battery is a 18500 hi drain rechargeable, don't know the brand it came from Mad Vapes. I charged it a couple of weeks ago, and set it aside because I was waiting on this to come in.

A perfect example of why I don't go near FastTech. Try Vapor Royalty. Prices are fair and they don't sell junk!

I have 41 mods from fasttech. Never had an issue.




If you got the launcher, it's not the mod.
My first guess is the aspire's center pin is causing a short.
Otherwise it's the battery.
The FT launcher is as solid as my authentic SuperT workhorse.

 

[Dacholiday Dach]

Any suggestions, I use the Aspire with no issue on my K103 and before my sentinel bit the dust

 

[Dacholiday Dach]

Should I be using one of those fuse thingys. I have to use one on my k103 for some reason

DING!

You win a blue ribbon!

 

[Dacholiday Dach]

Ok then, where do I buy one? My k103 came with it.

Help.

Gotta pay attention to the threading.
I hate the nemesis and also now the stingray because they both use different threading in different places.

I have 3 chiyou's; they use m21x1 threading on all the pieces; same thread as my vamos and zmax.
Also got a 'ph22' top switch mech from fasttech; uses m21x1 in the lower section; just the topcap uses a different thread.
