I've been looking at the King for quite some time - the stainless steel though - so that might be an option.

EDIT: just read your review. Reverse threaded locking ring is definitely a plus.

I just got it today and I really am impressed with this switch. My old KING clone locks up on me quite a bit. I tried switch magnets and the button would unscrew itself and fall apart. Very frustrating, but such a hard hitting mod with low voltage drop I continued to use it.

i used gasoline to get rid of the metallic taste but it ruined the orings. wouldnt recommend that to everyone but if you've seen what else I tried it was the only thing that worked. (HCigar)

kerosine probably would have been better but i don't have that stuff on hand.

Hi, I just order the Russian 91% clone from FT. It has already left China... how was your experience with FT and the specific Russian clone? I am really excited to get it in. Is it as good as they say?

I got it and love it. I did have to drill out the air hole. Something was stuck in there. But it's compatable with all the PMMA spare parts on ft and vapes awesomely for me with a 1.7ohm micro coil at a low wattage. So I can hook it up to my MVP2 no problems or kick it on a mech. I think Maggie has a couple or one of them also. You'll like it man. Good buy.

Edit

Here's a pic of mine

Are you buying direct or pieces from a B&M?

I suppose you were generalizing to my post. I am fairly familiar with my Devices and their construction. :)
My Kayfuns, Ithakas and Genesis Tanks are all SS:2cool:
I also know for a fact All my Kanger tanks are Chromed Brass:laugh:

guess i wasn't too exactly clear, the coil had been used ,i left the coil\wick set up on it and re-used it ,thats when it rusted up on me

You were clear. I was looking at my RSST 28ga. Kanthal coil - used, Cleaned and stored several times, but has never tried to rust. That is why I asked where you are getting your wire. Maybe you are being unknowingly duped.
I stopped buying pieces from venders for this very reason and only purchase Temco spools now. Trustworthy and Much Cheaper than vender purchases.

Nice for a Replacement for a failed board, an upgrade to an older unit or.............................

Box Mod
Dual 18650 Sony 30a batts
Tons of power and very decent Vape time :D

$6.15 100*76*35mm Aluminum External Enclosure Case for Electronics DIY - black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping :)

btw, 30A seems overkill for a 5A limit, i guess it depends on the battery curve tho. I'll probably go with 2 Panasonic PFs but with a dna20 if i ever start cutting the wood :p

Edit: thank god i have 6 bottles at home already :p
