Precise ELA Telescoping MOD by Super-T Manufacturing PT 2

[vaptamist]

Yup! It's my favorite ring, although I use the others from time to time.

I don't get how the telescopic workhorse has an optional smooth lock ring, but the ela only has knurled. The knurling is one thing that I dislike and kept me from getting an ela.

To clarify, the workhorse telescopic comes standard with a knurled lock ring. We do offer separately a smooth lock ring that was originally for the ELA, but it also fits the Workhorse Telescopic

After a few months of proving what a workhorse the WorkHorse is, I'm back on the ELA 100%. Look how beat up she is!

I finally got my Stumpy kit for the Rose.

Thank you. Vaptamist also clarified after I posted and I also found an older post stating the same.


@snork, what are your thoughts comparing the 2?

I'm officially apart of the club!. I just received my ELA V2 with a bunch of extras (Black Friday Sale!) and It's exactly what I expected, a well built solid feeling mod with customizable options. Got the Ti accents, slant cap and flat switch. Very pleased that I bought this, thanks Super T!
I was a little surprised to see that I got the diamond knurled ring tho, I thought it was supposed to come with the diagonal knurling?

ELA v2 titanium number 7! Topped with an erlkonigin and a super t new shorty satin tip, best combo ever its so light! I actually weighted the whole get up with a 350 batt inside including a kick a full juice in the tank vs my ss ELA with no batt no topper, only a kick inside and the titanium rig weights only 15 grams more! Incredible!

ELA Ti #5. Yep...it's crazy light. I'll pick it up and think I don't have a battery in it (18650) - when I do.

Sorry, I can't compare the two. I like the knurling and did not purchase a smooth lock ring, and like the slanted and crosshatched knurling equally.

 

[forcedfuel50]

Just a heads up that we still have a few Titanium ELA's left. These are being sold below cost, so don't miss out. We'll get them shipped too in time for Christmas!

Sorry, I should clarify; I meant a comparison between the ela and workhorse tele.

David, are these full titanium or just the body? Reason why I ask is because I would want the flat bottom button and a different top cap, along with the smooth lock ring and the spacers to cover the tele tube if using 18500/650 batteries.

Not sure if it would be better to get to or std with these options that interest me.

Thanks

All Titanium save the contacts, post holder and button slide. Body, Extension tube, cap, button, accents, bottom cap, lock ring all Titanium. I do believe we have a smooth, non knurled Titanium lock ring though if you'd like one.

 

[forcedfuel50]

You could also add Stainless flat button assembly and stainless top cap later, we're going to have a sale on them again. Gives it a cool subtle two tone look.

Do these have the traditional bottom button/switch and knurled accent rings? I prefer flat bottom button and no knurling.

I guess this answers one of the questions
If I order one of the titanium ela's, would I just need to add a note for smooth lock ring? I did not see anything on the site other than the titanium accent rings

I have the flat bottom switch assembly for my Satin ELA V2...Yes I love the flat bottom non locking switch. That was until I received my ELA V2 Titanium with original switch/ with heavy duty spring installed... Awesome and it looks better with the original ELA locking button.... Buy yourself a ELA Titanium you wont believe how good it fells in the hand... Feather light weight...

Same sort of answer, unfortunately. Having three splendid ELAs, I see no need for a Telescopic WorkHorse. I can say I love the static WorkHorse though and imagine the Telescopic is a great value.

Thanks for the input. I was thinking about trying the Ti ELA and the Industrious; however I am a bit skeptical on the industrious with continuous and/or rapid pressure changes from being a long haul truck driver. I also though I saw someone comment on having to be careful with it like the genesis style atty's. I cannot have any atty's that may leak, whether it be from pressure or laying on its side, etc.

Thanks. I was thinking about trying the workhorse as well but am not sure what size I would want. Most likely either an 18350 or 500, so I thought the tele would solve that problem. However you make a good point.

also wanted to post here since I cannot send you a pm. Yes, I would like a smooth Ti lock ring, please

(from Industrious thread)

I laid it on its side overnight with no leakage, wick was wetter, i just burned it off, but it didn't leak due to the wick and airhole design. Thats not to say its immune to leakage, but its pretty hardy in our testing. I think people are confusing this with a genesis because of the SS mesh used inside the permanent wick, but it isn't a genesis, you don't have the tilt, feed and leak issues of a genesis and the airflow to the coil is much improved and also the SS mesh doesn't get gummed and burned up. The wick design in this feeds from the bottom of the tank and isn't exposed the whole way up.

Thanks for the clarification and info.
Looks like for the moment; I will order a Ti ELA along with the accent rings and industrious for now until you have that sale you mentioned.

I will try to put a comment about smooth Ti lock ring if theres a place. I will also post my order # so you know its me. Thanks again for all the clarification you have provided on all my questions/concerns Going to go place the order now...

Does not look like we can send you pm's. Placed order, hopefully I got it right. Left you a message for the smooth lock ring.

I guess the new system did not recognize my past account, but my new order is #342.
