Some? U've it big-time bro! And sleeping on a stash of greenbacks as I understand, lucky u! For the commonest like us - just one 'main' and a 'standby' device is all that matters/possible. Sigh!

Not so, you need about 4 main ones and maybe another another 4 tanks sitting around with different favors and then a few backup devices! And that's a minimum...

Well I did the brass screw and nut mod to the #7 and it worked for a few puffs then stopped and got really hot. Can't be accurate, but the multimeter read the output at 77volts! I can understand if I messed the mod up, but the spring shouldn't have gone like that so quickly, I don't think I'll ever buy a sigelei again, I'm out $50. I just want a telescoping mech that fits any battery, looks and feels good, and works! At this point I'm thinking of spending twice as much! Un-neutered bovine fecal matter!

anyone have the 19 yet ? a pic of the 19 with a igo-l ??

The #19's haven't been shipped to any vendors yet I don't think. Some of them had pre-orders for them so you should start seeing pics in a few weeks or so. If no one beats me to it, I will post one as I pre-ordered the #19 and I have an igo-l.

looks good. right now im using a phoenix v4 and i think its to small

That's nothing! I picked up a handful of those Phoenix clones from reosmods when they were still on sale. I think he still has some at $4 each and they include a micro screwdriver set! THOSE are tiny and one of the most difficult recoils I've ever done.

I've got a #19 coming hopefully next week and an IGO in the mail I hope to get tomorrow. I'll post pics if no one else has beaten me to by then ;)

I got the very first order put in on Exhale's first batch... I was the one that harassed Abe at 2AM (PST) on facebook until he put them up! :D

Ok lol, I remember that. I know he already order the first round, but I thought he wasn't going to have them until the end of the month. Maybe he meant the second round wasn't going to be till the end of the month?

Here are some pics of my #8 and #13 and the washers I used to shim the button throw's. They seem so much better with just doing this simple mod.

Are you using loctite or anything on that button assembly? I know some CCTS users have had problems with the button popping off it and from the photos I've seen aren't the S8 & S13 basically the same sort of design? I want to start optimizing my #8 as soon as it gets here including sanding the contacts. Been trying to find what other tricks I should use on it too...

I believe the #8 uses extension tubes while the #13 is telescoping

My button is fine, just hold the inside with needle nose pliers and give the button a good twist by hand, doesn't budge.

However I did the washer mod as well, in my case a paper clip

Yeah, you are correct about the #8 and #13 models... I meant that aren't the button assemblies the same? Sorry, I should have been more clear. :)

Depends on the version of the #13. There is a poorly designed version of the #13 (13b) where the switch can be at the top or the bottom. The switch housing on that is plastic. The #13a, where the switch can only be used on the bottom, has a metal switch housing identical to and fully interchangeable with the #8.
