Got this in the mail today. People talked this thing up like it was the shiznit of clones but I'm not too impressed so far, the engraving is shallow and unimpressive, also the threads in the switch and as well as the inside of the main tube have noticeable black marks in them, no actual problems threading the parts, but still ghetto. Guess I'll have to see how it actually vapes once my batteries get here.

Could be you got one that is substandard. I like both of mine as much as my authentic mods. They will let you return or exchange it. However, they are on holiday in China right now so no one is going to answer your email yet. Take pics of the problems and attach them to your email.
Come back and tell us how it functions.
If it functions well then I don't care if it looks like a burnt stick and has I'm a weiner written on it.

Almost forgot about this thread. So I gave it a good cleaning, took some brasso to it as well and it functions perfectly. Button was a little crunchy at first but improved massively after cleaning/polishing. No problems with it auto firing while setting down or button getting stuck or any of that nonsense, magnets are solid. Seams are invisible on the tube and all my atty's connect just fine with the regular top cap, no need for the hybrid. My initial disappointment with it has been replaced with total satisfaction! Just needed a little TLC. I love the design so much I'm ordering a black one soon.
EDIT: Also, while the engravings in person are not as impressive as they look in the color adjusted and perfectly angled photos seen on the websites, they are pretty damn cool. Neat looking but not too gaudy.

I have the silver and the black. My black one isn't quite as nice as the silver as far as the engravings go, but works just as well. That's what matters most.
How do the engravings differ and did you get them from the same place? I'm looking at this one: https://www.elementvape.com/stingra...-by-infinite-black-stainless-steel?enter=true
I got them both from FC. I was the one who asked if they would get the black SXK as well so I kind of felt like I had to buy it 
I'm sure its just my black one that isn't as nice, not all of them. The copper in the engravings isn't smooth like my silver one. And the edges of the cutouts are a little sharp.
I also have the black copper stingray from Infinite/SXK and its excellent.

It's Fasttech *shrugs*
I get a lot of clones from them, I also buy a lot of authentic stuff locally. Anyway, if there's one thing I noticed with Fasttech, I can order multiples of the same thing multiple times and I'll occasionally get something that should never have left the factory, let alone get shipped.
But I'll give those guys credit where its due. Any time I've ever had an issue, it was a completely painless and $$$ free experience getting it dealt with. (EDIT) It just took ages for the replacements to arrive.
I can't say the same for some of the name brands out there.

Actually these came from Focalecig. FT has Keplers. The Keplers aren't bad, but the SXKs are nicer. I do have one Kepler Stingray X as well.
Does it fit most attys with the regular top on , well say 22 - 23 mm ?
Looks to be a rim around the top and wondering if my Lemo which I think is 23mm will fit on it.
So whats what and whats the one to get ?
A = $26.26 Stingray X Style Stainless Steel + Copper Mechanical Mod - 18350 / 18500 / 18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
B = $22.31-$23.30 Stingray X Style Mechanical Mod -
C = $34.30-$35.99 (Ship from USA)SXK 18650 Stingray X Clone Mechanical Mod
Or is another one with a magnet , switch and regular top better ?
I have one with spring and hybrid only - Which is great , just thinking of variety.
I didn't think any came with spring switches , where did you get it from ? Out of the above I'd go with the SXK , I've had excellent luck with SXK/Infinite clones . Here's a couple more to consider , I have the Hcigar and I love it but I'd like to get my hands on a Shenxi Stingray X when they're back in stock .

Yeah the lip on the top cap of the X might interfere with 23mm attys. The other Stingrays don't have that and work fine with the Lemo.
Get C if the extra cost isn't an issue. It really is a nice mech.
Yeah Wolfenstark it's the SXK one, which I believe is known to be the manufacturer for Infinite, that's why people use their brand names interchangeably. Still don't have a lemo sadly, BUT, my 25mm subtank works fine with it. And anyhow, doesn't the lemo have an adjustable pin?
It has an adjustable pin, but sometimes it gets a little wobbly, and then resistance jumps around.
The regular Stingrays come in SS, brass or copper. And then there's also the Black Copper Stingray. None of those 4 have the lip. They are slightly taller than the X, and the switch is a little different. They are nice mechs, too.
SXK does the machining. Infinite is the business/selling end. They are in the same building.
I have 5 Stingrays
My Stingray problem is almost as bad as my RTA problem.
Sorry , what I meant was my SMPL has spring and is hybrid only. So if I was to get another mech I'd probably look at magnet and regular top , just for something different not that current one is not very good.
SXK Stingray X, for sure, as everyone else has stated. I haven't run into a problem with atty's on the topcap so far, but with the lip I'm sure there must be at least a few that would have issues. As it comes with a hybrid adapter though, for particular atomizers with that problem you can troubleshoot at least... 
It's a great mod.
