Sentinel M16 and IGO-L

[Friscoweather]

Got my vapemail from fasttech which included a Sentinel M16 clone and an IGO-L. This is my first experience with a dripper and mechanical setup. Lots of vapor and flavor. The only problem is that the firing button is somewhat "sticky". I'm hoping it will smooth out with use. Other than that, I'm loving it.

Which batteries? I have the same setup. Also I drilled out the airhole to 1/16. I am using the aw imr 18650 1600 mah batteries. I got my sentinel in brass because the other one had problems with the threads stripping

I'm using 18490's right now and they work great. I'll post pictures when I figure out how to do it.

I'm using a IGO-L on a K100 and love it. Running micro coils with cotton in it. On the sticky button, I don't know the M16 clone, but I would try to fix that before it ends up sticking in the on position. Could become a hot proposition

I'm running the stock coils at 1.7 ohms. Taste and vapor are great.

The button doesn't act like it's going to stick in the on position. Maybe a better way to explain is that it isn't very smooth.
Still love it. I've been vaping this cheap clone over my provari. But, I bought this to take to work after dropping my Provari a couple of times.

That's probably a good idea ;-)

I started out with a cheap hybrid (IChybrid V3 from fasttech) so I could learn with it, and eventually I'll step up to something better but reguardless the cheapo clone will always be my work horse for the same reason. I'm not trying to drop anything, let alone something I paid big bucks for!

Ya, that doesn't sound like it's going to become an issue.

Vape on

try screwing your button in a little bit more and watching it because it likes to unscrew as you use it more. that should smooth it out for you. and the provari is a beast. no matter how many times ive dropped it, it just keeps on working. but best of luck to you and keep on vaping

Agreed with rhe watching the button. I made a big mistake today. I took out my battery from my sentinel. I was cleaning the threads and the middle pin on top. I guess the alcohol and the pressure messed up the glue. The middle telescoping pin is beld in there with a dab of glue on the insulator. Just thought I would give a heads up.

off topic sort or but i had to chime in on this comment. i have a k100 with an igow dual coil at .7 ohms. drove my sister home the other day and without thinkin i threw my k100 in my center counsel cup holder. so about after 20minutes of driving i started smelling rainbow sherbet(which is what i was vaping) turns out i never locked the button and my sister decided to plop her purse on my mod. also i was on the interstate haha so i went to grab it and i have a metal drip tip and ive never felt something so HOT in my life!!! immagine a dual coil .7 ohm firing for atleast 15-20 minutes straight (micro coil) after about 5 minutes of cool down i still burnt myself on the tip. all in all i felt the battery and was nice and cool took a vape and blew clouds like it never happened haha.. BE CARFULL WITH BOTTOM BUTTON MODS!!! lmao

I got some blue Loctite and put some on the firing pin. It won't come loose now.

After allowing for some "break-in" the firing button is now smooth. The loctite did the job and the firing pin has stayed in place. This ended up being a great set up!

Ultrafire 18350 with a Kick clone from Fasttech. I was using straight 18650s until I made the jump to the kick w/18350. It stealthier and the kick improved the performace of this mod 1000%. No joke. I wont be using mine any other way. I ordered a Nemisis clone and another Fasttech Kick for all my 18650s. Do yourself a favor and spend the 9 bucks for the Kick. You will not be disappointed.

What's up with the bottom button mods? It's kind of a drag having to lock it every time I want to set it down, though I'm getting used it. The Maraxus seems to be the only mech to have a recessed firing button.
I have the Sentinel M16 and I read that if you put two Bolt extension tubes into it, which supposedly have compatible threading, you can fit a Kick *and* an 18650. Not sure if that will work with anything else, but it might be worth a try...
