HR came from the yuma train 2day. Was not impressed with the packing. The 350 tube was loose and had come out of its pipe insulation, along with the top post screw just hanging out together in the padded envelope. The atty, sleeve, and 650 tube stayed in its pipe insulator just fine. Little tape on the ends would have been nice to keep the tubes in place at a minimum.

Not a fan of the switch though. I mean it fires OK up to this point, but the little raised pieces means I have to spin it a certain way to lay my pinky flat upon the switch. Plus I find them uncomfortable and a little on the edgy side. Not sharp, but bothersome. The other alternative is to pinky it with the tip of my finger. It does stand up nicely. No problems with AW IMR nipple batteries. So it is what it is to me, a bothersome bottom switch.

Being my first iHybrid, I am impressed with the workmanship, threading and finish are nice. I really like the machining on the tubes and atty cover, makes it very easy to hold it with no slippage. The only real issue is wick hole on mine has burrs and I need to take the time to clean them out on my next setup. Flames and engraving line up nicely, but not with the topcap or wick - meaning if I align the airhole with the wick, the latin writing doesn't line up with the flames & engraving. Is their a way to move the wick position in relation to the the rest of the PV without compromising the positive pole work Face has done? If not, it is only aesthetics.

It is a nice "APV", no doubt. So I understand what all the fuss is about. So will break in this setup and see how it goes from there and see if it grows on me.

Did your Hell Raiser come with an Ihybrid drip tip? From the 310 area code that is.

Yes it came with a iHy drip tip.

I guess if my pinky is held a certain way, it lines up with the air hole... but this is not usually an issue as long as things are wicking... It just bothers me that when I pick it up, I have to rotate the PV to get my pinky to lay across it to fire it... and the switch is sort of recessed so I cannot fire it from the edge of it... Plus it Regardless, the switch stays with it, as it is engraved for this LE, so sorry, no trading for another switch.

It is vaping great...

I took mine out of the package, threw one of my other attys on top of the hr 18350. I cheated, but I was vaping with the new switch and full HR in less than a minute. :). Saving the clean tank for Agent Orange :}

Got mine today also ,Everything perfect except the top cap not lining up not to bad but prob the easiest thing to do lol..now I Really regret selling my blue dragon especially since the guy I sold it to put it back in the classys for more the day he got it .Oh well wont do that again .

That's pretty much complete BS... Why won't people just let others who REALLY want a iHy buy them....grrr!!!!!

Hello hybreeds. Tomorrow should be the day I'm finally able to vape an ihy. Stoked! And silentdoom how old are you? I thought maybe I was the youngest at 25. But then again it isn't really easy to guess everyone's ages
