Can you guys verify if this is the same one you have coming? I will hold off on putting up my full review if I know you have them coming in stock. That way I can link them to a place to buy them.

The cylon design came from the original "Alpha" by Apex..

Yep it is an Alpha clone. The only difference is the top cap design. The others have a nipple top, both the Blade and the Cylon seem to have a different tip design in comparison.

The last person I heard from said it he was measuring a voltage drop of .3 under load with this one.

.3v under what load?

The voltage drop is entirely dependent upon the resistive load, and both the internal resistance of the battery and the resistance of the mod are virtually nil compared to the atty resistance.

I call myth on the whole recently popular subject of voltage drop of various mechanical mods.

I agree, 100%

Looks good! Push up or pull down to fire?

The battery case moves up to compress the spring and make contact.

As for the myth if voltage drop. Point of contact and transfer of power is what should be tested. I will have to do that another time as I don't have my meter with me. After point of contact is another story and when resistance of load comes into the equation.

I am VERY pleased to report that my Raven is now performing flawlessly! This is the 2nd carto of the two that I ordered back when the Ravens were first re-released into Alpha. I can't *see* anything different in this one, and I filled the tank and primed the carto with three drips just like I did the others, but this time NO DRY HITS at all! Super tasty, thick clouds of vapor!

Now if I could just get the rest of my life in order! :laugh:
