Are there any vent holes on the 8w? I'm not seeing any

Like BZMoto said, they are in the body of the switch. Here:

(from my Magnetic Spring mod)

For the fuse, I havent used one yet. For safety tho, I will be ordering some. Saying that you have no threat with using ceramic wicks, yes, you wont have a short on the wick. You might have a hard short in the device its self. Also, if you stack, you run the possibility of thermal issues with one battery charging the other and other scientific jargon I choose not to remember at this time as, its still early for me.

In short: Yes, A fuse is a safe thing.

End rant.

I've had a hard shot and the device will get super hot before the battery vents. The battery was ok. This was due to me running my hybrid adapter I made. I now use a piece of a carto condom with a hole in the center to fix that. As long as the plastic protective wrap on the battery isn't damaged, you shouldn't get a hard short. I agree that is it probably smart to use one anyways. So if you feel like you need one, then get one and use it. I recommend getting a re settable fuse. They have a thermal fuse that once it reaches about 5 amps it will heat up and break the circuit. Once it cools down, it will work again.

Thanks ... Yep. Just a few minutes with a felt wheel & white rouge & it polished out pretty nice. I'm thinking of finding some place that can laser-engrave a little pirate ship on the lower section of the tube - seems appropriate for a Caravela Clone

Try http://bigsecretwebsite.com. ..... it looks like they do laser engraving. Not sure on costs tho.

Those are very nice! Looks like they are using the brass post from the 8W (in the "copper pic". But from the pics they bumped it up a notch in manufacture quality.

It looks more like a chi you than a bagua.

Here you go:
Bagua Clone 18350/18650

Looks good - It's obviously Sigelei (the internals of the switch look just like the 8w). I'll probably hold out for the Brass model when they become available... I've got a lifetime supply of brass polish to use up

I think everyone should email Vaportek and tell them to contact Sigelei and tell them NOT TO GLUE THE DAMN SWITCH!!!!

Bagua (14500)

Chi You. (18XXX)

Come on Sigelei, at least get the name of the mod you're copying right!

 

[Thraizer]

More like a combo of both chi you and bagua. I'm in for the brass model.

 

[Bmays]

I'd jump if it were an actual 14500 mod. The wife uses the 14500's. Hopefully soon they will.

Yep, it looks like a melding of the Bagua, the Chi-You, and the 8w.

A Bag-You?

Nevertheless, if they keep their track record up, it should be an outstanding MOD for the money...

 

[Thraizer]

Yeah the switch does resembles the 8w, I really like the 8w switch I haven't had any issues with it and its been performing great. Attack of the clones!

 

[whit77]

What goes through their heads at sigelei, if you going to clone something at least do it by reverse engineering it

They do make me laugh

 

[eHuman]

Its called a chigua
