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

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.

Apparently its from sigelei, according to the facebook chatter. Seriously, my desk is getting overwhelmed with shiny and brushed tubes BUT! it does look really nice! on my desk! lol

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.

Got a link mate :)

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!!!! :-x

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

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

A Bag-You? :confused:

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