Review Astro by mojo

[MegaDark]

Greetings to fellow members of the ECF
This will be my first post of review in the ECF.
Lets have some picture to do the talking.

Astro in parts

Top cap with floating centre pin

Button close up

Button unassembled

Picture of the button spring not sure what its made of

Different batteries setup:

18350

18490

18650

Here is a test i made between Astro and Chi_you using Nimbus at 0.41 ohm

Astro without load

Astro with nimbus loaded

Brass Chi_you without load

Brass chi_you loaded with nimbus

Overall conclusion of the chi_you and the Astro.
Same performance both hits hard.
The astro Hits as hard as the as the Chi.
Pretty surprise that the astro work that fantastic.
especially when the tube of the mod is a SS body and its telescopic.
Threading on this astro was perfect , good machining quality control.
The only thing that i would like to see on the shipping.
Hope they will use a box for shipping like the chi_you as the way they ship items out is by Padded Envelope even if we paid For EMS.
Hope that they will produce more in the future as this mod will definally reach the same demand as the chi.

Sorry for my lousy first post review.
Thank you for Viewing

Bad attempt at GP PAPS copy down to the switch and top cap imo.
The astro doesn't compete with the PAPS or GP's service. Must of had a slow week of thinking of designs on his own.
Greeks win again.
Always wishing the best.

Nice review by the way and nice presentation of the dimensions. Looks so elegant.

Thanks for this! I just bought one today even though GP Paps 2.5 will be back on sale tomorrow or Tuesday. I went against the advice of others for Nemesis (impossible to get right now), Pulse by RM (hard to get), and Nzonic V3 (available). I would not say the Astro is a copy of the GP Paps ... Astro is telescopic. Astro is jazzed up where Paps is more understated beauty. Two completely different and equally impressive devices. I can't wait to get my Astro in the mail, it is also the smallest telescopic that I am aware of. Thanks again!

Where did you get the brass extension tube?

Yes, please! Where did you get it?

I agree with you 100 percent. It's not a copy of the GP Paps (I love my Paps). I have them both -- both have their own distinct styles and have features that I feel are different enough to set them apart.

Man this Astro is tiny and performs very well. Just a few mm short of my GP Paps.
