The Sparkplug SP2 is available now for $29.99 at sparkplugforsmokers.com and comes with a thermo tube for 6v vaping for free... at least at the time of this writing.
I've had it for a couple of days. First impressions... the good stuff.
...its beautiful! I have the bare metal tube, and its finished in a great combination of almost brushed aluminum. I prefer non-anodized aluminum.. I like to polish it to shiny status (which takes about a minute with the right polish)
...its small! the length of the body (not including the atomizer) is three fingers long, leaving my pinky to depress the button.
...its sturdy! Not just aluminum. Thick aluminum. I was worried about the threads, but they are beefy and with a little care will last. Don't over tighten things though... its not necessary and will likely damage something.
...its simple! The button on the bottom is the only moving part... no switches to go bad. I really like this aspect. Its a minimalist mod and I love that.
...its vapes great! Long lasting 3.7v vaping means I don't have to dread the blinky light that means the end of my instant gratification.
...its comfortable! Pretty light, the button on the bottom took a bit of getting used to, but there are about 15 different ways I can depress it, so now I prefer this.
...its versatile! The inclusion of the thermo tube allows for 6v vaping (not my thing) but also extended 3.7v vaping if you use a 17670 battery with it! Thats just badass.
...its backed by nice people! My few dealing with the owner have been great, and he responds to requests quickly.
and the bad stuff...
... its dangerous! It ships with unprotected Li-Ion batteries. It has no vents. It has no on/off switch. This is just stupid. And dangerous. I've written the manufacturer and ranted elsewhere about it, so I'll leave it at that.
... the included e-juice sucks! It tastes like an ash-tray. Yuck.
... the website sucks! Normally its not a big deal when a website sucks. In this case it crashes when ordering, it seems to have problems using SSL to send the CC info encrypted, and if you log in you get access denied messages forever. The customer service online chat is really some people in Minnesota at a call center who don't know anything about the product.
I love this thing.. and at the price point, I wouldn't really complain about anything. Its a great value. Everything thats bad about it is either temporary or easily remedied.
Get protected batteries, or safe chemistry batteries, and its a great mod!
