[QUOTE="NealBJr, post: 18041753, member: 149048"] No, for one, it has no way to lock it. Second, the magnetic insert will flip when you have no battery in... so, you have to essentially take it all apart when you have a new battery. third, the button is "ok".. but not great. In practical day to day use, the no locking ring can be a serious setback. if you have it in your car, it's safer to lay it on it's side than to stand it upright. one bump when it's upright, and it could fire. if you try to put it in your pocket, you better make sure you have no keys or anything else in there, that will cause it to fire as well. The Caravella is shorter overall, and has a locking ring. I can put whatever dripper I want on top. The button on the Caravella is much smoother and cleaner. I can push it at an angle and it will still fire, which you have to push around the walls on the tugboat.. the caravella/derringe combo is overall smaller than the tugboat setup, and it has the heat fins between the derringer so it stays cooler.... it's simply a better mod IMO.
