SXK Copper/Red Stingray Clone

[Ed_C]

I saw this on Vapor Joes and ebay and it's really tempting. Does anyone know anything about these or SXK in general? I've seen some places that list SXK/Infinite as a manufacturer (not this seller), so I thought maybe it was the same company as Infinite. I haven't seen anything to verify this. Thanks for the help

Infinite is the real deal. They're currently making some of the best mod clones out there. The Tree of Life is particularly awesome.

I just got a reply from the seller and they said that "it is from SXK, the manufacturer of Infinite's Products."

Home from work today and the impulse-buy goblin got me. Now the wait begins. This will be my first mech. I plan on buying a kick and using my IBtank until I figure out what type of topper to use and get motivated to try my hand at rebuildables. Wish me luck.

Just ordered one myself. After lots of looking around for my second mod the looks of this thing just drew me to it. Bought another KFL+ to go along with it. Can't wait!

Suppose to be low ser. # as well.
What is the difference between copper and RED copper?

I'm wondering the same thing. I have been messaging back and forth with an Ebay seller on these that has it listed as SXK as well. He says they are the company that makes them for Infinite. So I'm wondering why if they make them for infinite then why the rebranding and if they make them for infinite they also make them for other companies as well. So whats the difference? I just want to make sure I get an Infinite one, and not some other brand. Color me confused.

I saw a show a few weekends ago. It was about how the scrap metal business is doing so well. Basically because the Chinese are coming here buying scrap metals by the container loads.

To bring this back on topic, these dealers and buyers talked about red copper. From context, it seems that the term was used in reference to scrap that was pure copper as opposed to scrap that was mixed brass, bronze and copper scrap.

Assuming that the term the buyers of raw materials used got assimilated by the factories that use said materials, it's not surprising that they'd describe something made from high quality copper as being red copper.

I wonder how long it will take to arrive from China? I mean, my Fasttech orders are already so slow by the time my item makes it, it is already on a gen 2 of it!

I had assumed red copper was just that it was the natural copper finish instead of the black coating.

as far as materials goes, nothing, they are one of the same. The name red copper is to differentiate the different Stingray models, atleast the OE from JD Tech:
-Phantom Brass
-Copper Black
-Copper Red
-Phantom Brass 2014

 

[Ed_C]

Was different with the Phantom Brass 2014? Is that the one with the copper ends?

PB 2014 has the deep engraving, much like the Copper Red instead of the etched logo and it has the SS switch with the Copper insert with deep engravings, same switch as the Copper Red

Here's a pic of all 4 versions from JD Tech

I ordered one of the copper/red Stingrays from eBay and received a message that included this statement:

"The manufacturer had made adjustments because of the issues that happened with the Black Copper Stingray they had to fix because of some minor problems, which caused them to delay production in the Red/Copper Stingray."

So, this is apparently the reason for the delay and hopefully the new ones will be problem free. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Considering that they had to redo the base tube because it was too short for the black version, it's good that they're trying to get it right the first time this time around.

Has anyone got one of these yet? I'm curious because I've been wanting to get a Stingray by Infinite. I'm torn between getting the brass or the red copper. The copper should have less of a voltage drop I assume as I believe copper is more conductive than brass?

 

[Ed_C]

Not yet. The seller said he should be getting some in soon, but I'm not sure if I'll be in his first batch. I'll let you know when it comes.

 

[MrHyde]

Bah, I'm just gonna buy it lol It looks too pretty not too >.<

 

[Ed_C]

That's what got me also and I NEVER buy the first of ANYTHING! I guess I'm just a sucker for a pretty face.
