SMPL Mod (clone) discussion

[duc916]

I wrapped my copper clone with 1" heatshrink when I first got it, and it came out pretty nice too... feels really good in hand, no matter how much juice residue it has on it.

I've been using an Infinite SS for about a week now (the only clone that's confirmed one-piece as far as I know), and it's time to wrap it with heatshrink too.

Couldn't deal with the slippery mod anymore... took care of the problem.

Where did you get the wrap? Looks great.

 

[duc916]

Fry's Electronics. About $4 for a 4 foot by 1 inch piece.

1" 4ft Black Heat Shrink Tubing

Be advised it'll start to slip when juice seeps into it. that's when you dab a little glue into it. The beauty of it is when it starts to get beat up (inevitable for any rubber/plastic), tear it off and do it again.

Interesting. How much was the infinite one, and where'd you pick it up at? I do want another SMPL, and perhaps an infinite one would be good.

Ahh, ouch, and I thought the white a-mod SMPL I was looking at for $28 was too rich for my blood. If it is truly one piece I guess I wouldn't mind paying that much for one, but I know the wholesale price is definitely sub $20, so it seems a bit pricey to me still.

Maybe, but peace of mind knowing that the oxidation that occurs between two metal surfaces with nothing but air between them (as with any non-serviceable pressed-in top cap) is NOT going to happen is worth the extra cash in my mind. I forgot to mention they have a 15% discount all this month with coupon code "jan15".

Touche. I'll definitely consider the Infinite then, its not that much more after the coupon code.

Anybody try a Kayfun 4 on these mods? I've haven't had success getting mine to work, going to try a different battery next.

I bought the one above mostly for extra parts for my authentic, but I actually use it more often.
shipping was quick. 7 days once it left China.

FT now has a copper 26650 for $20.04

Perfect for this maybe?

so, just got FT 1:1 SMPL today in copper. i like it. it does have that limitation of using atties with long 510. 4nine and praxis are more forgiving in that sense. however, the button is amazing. it's a simple button that doesn't need any tweaking. just pop in the battery, adjust the battery rattle and you are ready to go. with magma, the button will not sit receded. about .5 mm sticks out. but that won't cause auto fire. the action of the button is smooth, and as with the simple set up, it's a joy to use. i should try origen RDA on it.

Just got my SS SMPL today and I have the same experience with the Magma. To be safe I don't plan to leave this setup unattended. Seems like the included magnets and the 10 pack Nemesis magnets from FastTech are the same size.

 

[G-weezy]

My extra Nemi magnets didn't fit the V1 switch with spring. I tried.

I got my copper SMPL clone in the mail yesterday. I must say so far I am more than pleased with it.

 

[G-weezy]

2 SMPL came in yesterday from BestPrice and they have the magnet switches in them.

 

[Nick N]

Nice! The Tobeco Kayfun v4 makes my switch stick out a little like the Magma, no autofire though. I do get nervous sitting it down because I am using the glass in the tank.

On mine the green sony's fit fine. And the purple efest are a lil snug, have to push them in to get em to fit properly. A piece of sand paper on the end of a pencil took out to rough spots, now they fit fine

Are they really solid copper? I thought my penny clone was, cause that's what my b&m told me. Had it for some months and have loved it. It's my only mech so I use it all day every day. Just started to notice that the copper PLATING is wearing off! I sure didn't expect that! It works so I'm not upset, just wish I would have known before I decided to buy it. Anyone else having the same issue? I posted here because I want the smpl clone too, but not if its not copper like they say, I would maybe splurge for the authentic. Any thoughts?
