Subzero

[Ben85]

It is time for me to invest in another mech mod and the Subzero is one of the contenders.

I am interested in getting the one with the short switch, but the 1 and only thing putting me off is the oring which makes up part of the switch mechanism. For those that have them, have you had any problems with these? Surely once they snap the switch is rendered useless until a replacement is found?

that delrin/plastic disc is a huge turn off.
Ive had other mods that used similar designs and they all eventually failed.

You're of course correct Ben, but it's pretty easy to get a replacement, you might maybe already have one in your spares if you save the extras from all your other gear...


I would be much more worried about the point made above by the ninja

 

[Ben85]

I hadn't even thought about the delrin piece. Maybe I need to look elsewhere. Shame really as I liked the combo with the 24mm hybrid rda.

I'm still planning to get the 24mm combo. That clutch button switch looks really unique and interesting to me. From what I've read no hot button issues at all.

I've owned my SOI Subzero for 6 months or so and I bought it used. This thing has never given me any problems. The oring for the clutch system is a common size for rdas so I'm sure you have some laying around. The delrin piece has never been a issue and I haven't heard of them being a issue at all. I have never had a hot button unlike my rig v2 and several clone mechs I have kicking around. This is 100% my favorite mech and highly recommend it. Hope you figure out your next mech mod purchase.

The mod hasnt been available long enough to see the problem surface, however every single mod that has used a pressed or threaded delrin disc to secure switch parts have problems that are obvious.
Its beyond crazy for a company to use that design this late in the game.

Glad to hear it is working out for you. I went for a brass Switch Mods V2 in the end. It seemed to tick all the boxes.

In my experience with mech mods, simpler is always better. Bells and whistles are generally fail points.

Love it.

I certainly like the looks of it.

I copped one, no problems at all with mine after a month. you'll never snap the o-ring just from operating the switch.

Im torn between the subzero , rig v2, switch v2. I can get the rig and switch at cost +10% and tax , pretty much 50% of retail. The subzero i have to pay retail

 

[Ben85]

Fwiw, I had the same shortlist and I chose the Switch V2.

 

[bigTRAV710]

Im gonna get the switch , its simple and no gimmicks, the tube is twice the thickness of most mechs. It will last longer and the fact that it has no topcap make it more conductive and no top insulator to wear out. Cerakote copper or brass?

 

[Ben85]

I got the brass one. Can't comment on the others though.

 

[bigTRAV710]

I might get the brass one and have my buddy hydrographics it all crazy if i cant get the cerakoted copper. Do u like the rda or use a diff one?

 

[Ben85]

I use the rda that it came with. It's a simple deck with masses of airflow. Great for clouds, but not huge on flavour.

 

[bigTRAV710]

I will prob throw a twisted messes on it. I have one still in the box , never used it. I only use my MGNT rda. Il prob scoop a tsunami 24 too

 

[Ben85]

A Tsunami 24 has been on my list for a while too. A black one would look good on the switch.
