From everything I've read, it appears that the plating and spring are bottlenecks. Can't hurt to clean them up as it will be a gain, even if only small.

Also going to try and remove the ridge inside the 18650 tube that mine has which is preventing me putting a NCR18650B in there.

Yep, you're right about that, can't hurt to clean them up. Please share your results with us when you get a chance.

I think you'll be pretty happy with the #8, I know I like mine.

So my 19b turned into a preorder. I only have to wait a few weeks for it, but I'm going to order the #30 to hold me over till it arrives.
Anyone have this one yet?

Btw Andy at venerablevaping rocks! He has provided me with excellent customer service and support. I will definetly be going back and highly recommend them!!

Yes, it does seem a bit off to put a $50 switch on a $25 mod. But I think someone asked the question earlier if it would fit on a #19?

It would be interesting to see what is going on inside that switch. Looks like the same mechanism?

@Yes, it does seem a bit off to put a $50 switch on a $25 mod
- is also my opinion (lying around in my Box)

@But I think someone asked the question earlier if it would fit on a #19

Thanks for sharing this! I much prefer the looks of this switch ... no plastic anywhere! It looks like the o-ring would be the only thing that you might have to worry about and it appears to be fairly standard therefore easily replaced. Why couldn't Sigelei have done one like this?

part of the smaller #3 club, mine had a little rust, anyone else seen rust on their Sigeleis?

I received my #3 with no marks, no rust. Excellent condition. It was in the original white Telescope box and was wrapped in plastic inside. I think that you got yours from the same place that I did so I don't know why the condition of yours would be any different. Strange.

On my #8 I polished the end of the firing pin, the center post the firing pin contacts, and the positive screw head. I just got the nzonic head, and it hits noticably harder with the nzonic head on it.

I just noticed that the nzonic head has a magnet in it. I was concerned that the magnet would cause voltage drop?

I need to get a meter so I can measure it Kent. It also has a brass center post that the atty connects to. All I know is that it is hitting like a train with this head. It is much stronger a hit than with stock head.

I went with the same combo, #8 + Nzonic clone head. Still waiting for it to arrive in vapemail though.

You can unscrew the white insulator from the #8 head and replace the one on the Nzonic head with it.

Not sure how to take the magnet assembly off of the nzonic. If my photo is attached it is the one on the right.
