welp, sometimes only being halfway there is a good thing.

vaporjoes called it a rollout and called it a standalone genesis device.
I already stated that it looked like the natural ft with a genny on top.

is this AC9 clone manufactured by smoktech?

Yep, It's made my Smoktech. It has caused quite a bit of drama lately. I must have missed your other post, I just didn't want you to cancel your order and miss out.

if that isnt the understatement of the year lol.
sheesh if he spent as much time making attys as he does wining in the coops the ac9 would never be out of stock.

got the natural coming have no interest in this clone, probably more plastic and plated brass from china.

After a long deliberation I have decided to forgo buying the new Aga until I have my new ST FTnatural in hand.
I'm hoping my current Aga-T will fit atop of it nicely (the original Gotvapes Birkshire w/the Knurling) I hope so.
Hopefully the ST FTnatural will be wide enough to accommodate the behemoth beast that is my Aga-T.
I made the mistake of buying it thinking it would fit atop my Provari... LMFAO. Thats all I have to say about that.
....Then I tried putting it on top of my Silver Bullet and my mother almost urinated on the kitchen floor in laughter.
Its a damn big device. Especially on something that is already damn big compared to a cigarette. lol.

But, I am hoping it will look nice on top of the ST Flat Top Natural, especially in 18350 mode. That would be nice.
Sending out my order tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have my Natural in hand around Valentines day. It'll be a while.
Doing the money order thing so I'll have to wait for them to verify that it doesn't bounce... Gonna be a while. :/

But at least I can say I have a nice mech mod with a side mounted switch on the way.
Something I have been wanting in my arsenal for a very long time. If only it had brasssss parts. Inside AND out.
I love the look of steel PAIRED with brass, aesthetically speaking, not just for functionality and voltage hold. O well.

Maybe I could get my Aga dipped :p That'd be what a real e-cig fiend would say.

Got my Natural today from MadVapes , and i was suprised to see its a flat top instead of the tapered one. Made me super happy since the flat looks a ton better. Now i need to find me some good batteries ans a charger.

Got mine in today. It's a flat-top too, with ring of engraved dots making a nice accent around the top. Frankly, it's a better looking mod than I was expecting.

omg someone mentioned madvapes is slipping in prices lately?
forget prices. I've made a few comments about this but this is too far. I need to say something again.
Madvapes is a very nice site, they seem like good people. But they NEED to be MORE ORGANIZED.
How DARE they have a picture of a tapered mod and send a flat top??

seriously. you cant find anything on that site. things are listed 4 times on 2 pages
and other things your actually looking for are listed ONCE,
searching thru a jungle of 16 pages otherwise unfindable and unsearchable using their search bar.

I can't believe they would send out a flat top natural when all they show is the tapered top.
If I had known they had flat tops I would of ordered from them tonight and I'd have that octopus atty too.
That really makes me angry. They added the octopus atty right after I made my other order.
Now I find out they actually had the flat top natural the whole time.

Step up madvapes, PLEASE? Your a great vendor but your site is a travesty.

Just received the mod today and its fit and finish is surprisingly very good for china made. The trends are smooth (I did put a little noalox), there are no blemishes on the body, the machining is consistent, and the button works every time. And it was clean, as in no machine oil or scrap metal from machining. I did put it into my ultrasonic cleaner and it did make all the treads slightly better so I guess there was some slight dirt.

The only down side I can see is the internal resistance with everything being SS, with the exception of the 510 connector screw that seems to have brass pressed into it, and a brass nut/screw that holds the switch on. And if I measured it correctly, the total internal resistance is around .2 ohms but don't take my word on that.

Just my brief inspection, will post a couple pictures of the mod, everything it comes with and its break down excluding the actual button since I'm too lazy.

got mine today, very nice finish and with a quick glance you dont really see the seems, feels solid and the button feels slightly stiff not all mushy as well as having the button lock. threads are clean and smooth.
the center ring/510 connection is slotted and raised a mm or two above the outside ring.
no EGO threads but a huge drip well.
The center pin is adjustable from the inside using a screwdriver so i was able to make it work on the 5 devices i tried no problem.
Using the AW 18650 but also tried the panny 2250 with no problems at all.
all in all it was worth the less then 50 bucks i paid and will make a nice mod for setting up unoxy wicks for me

Got mine today. Aside for 2 or so light scuff marks that I'm sure I can polish away if I decide I care (not plainly visible, I do have to hunt with light), very impressed.

Even with center post adjusted all the way down the DID doesn't fit on their quite flush, but its not enough of a gap for me to lose sleep over it.

As above the button is a bit on the stiff side but I have no other mechanicals to compare it to.
