So, the Super T Precise Simplicity 18650. Priced at $135. Features a wonderful look, bottom firing with locking, and Palladium plated Brass contacts. Never oxidizing/corroding, just maintenance free greatness.

Or is it?

Does anyone have anything negative to say about this mod? Seriously sitting here considering purchasing it. Always heard great things about Super T, and I can just never seem to get an ELA when they come around.

I got the 14500 Simplicity a month ago. Have used it a LOT in that time, and I have yet to find one single thing that I don't like about it. The finish may turn off some, but it makes it easy to hold on to and does not show fingerprints; retains its good looks well. The device is very well machined and constructed. I believe I can say with confidence that you will not regret that purchase. There are a couple of other mods out there that I would like to try, but I will return to SuperT in the future for either the 18650 model, or the ELA.

I'm assuming that Super-T took the 14500 and made it bigger--everything the same, but bigger. If it weren't for the fact that it's only 20mm diameter, I'd be all over it. I have the 14500 and it's solid device. It's become my primary PV. Read: I love it, not one complaint. If you're ok with the OD and the fixed center post, I think you'll find it to be money very well spent.

The simplicity 18650 has a fully adjustable center post, unlike the 14500. With the 18650 you can remove the top cap and use a flat head screw driver to adjust the pin from underneath. Quality and after purchase service is some of the best in the biz. I highly recommend any Super-T Device. Like others have said, the only complaint anyone could have with this is the OD, but if you're looking for the smallest 18650 mod, I'd say this comes really close and for the quality/price ratio it's a steal!

Size comparison with the P+ 650, and Simplicity 14500. I think the Simplicity 18650 looks and works great. I just wish I have more atomizers that's 20mm.

I ordered one last night. I already have 14500 and I love it. I even use it with my aga t2. It looks funky but hits better then any other mods but all of my mods are clone. I'm excited about 18650! I think it will look perfect on my igo w. I'm even looking in to getting agi. I haven't found good high end genny for purchase. It seems like its impossible here in s Cali.

Yeah, what they said. I've got the 14500 and I LOVE it! My 186 should be here tomorrow (fingers crossed). I'm not too worried about the size (I'm a dripper) If you don't like the finish, you can get a "plus 18350" for 5 bucks more. Hmmm, maybe next time, Their drip tips are just as nice, they ooze quality.

I've got several Sigeleis, and for the money, they're alright. Are these worth the extra c-note? Maybe not to some people, but as for me? Oh yeah. It's a genuine high end mech you can actually buy (keyword; in stock) for less than $150... 'nuf said

I've been using mine for a few days and I'm very, very impressed. As expected, the build quality is amazing, especially for the price. It hits hard and I love the look (though that's subjective). The only issue I see is for people that use different brands and varieties (flat-top vs. button-top) of 18650 batteries. Out of the the box, it's set to fit AW protected batteries. I use Sony 18650 flat-tops, which are a bit smaller. It took several tries to get the right combination of O-rings and washers to get the mod to feel right (zero battery rattle, button action I liked). If you have a bunch of different 18650s, this is potentially an issue. Otherwise, it's a brilliant mod for its relatively low price.
