How did you go about brushing and polishing it?
I threw a carto in the 510 and threw it in a drill. Sanded the stainless with some 320 at a high speed to get a brushed look. Sanded the brass down with 320>400 then shined it up with white>red polishing compound.

I'm ordering 2 of those when the next form drops on Facebook, one in stainless and one in brass, should be tomorrow. I ordered 2 shortys from driptipdesignz, they only showed the brushed brass, emailed the owner and he made a stainless to match, they should be here soon. I'm gonna alternate all the parts on the brass and stainless 19's that are on the way also.

AKAvapers has it with both tubes only Sigelei 8w with 18350 and 18650 tubes

I've been starring at it for the past 2 days trying to decide if I want to spend the money on it.

Is the 8w 18350 tube longer than the 19 outer tube?

It's the same length if you put them side by side after you remove the telescoping tube from the 19.

I wonder if the AKAvapers version has the un-glued button screw. Not that I'm really in the market for another #8w, but it would be good to know.

Cool, thanks.
O, I also forgot to ask - So does the 8W tube have thicker wall to take up battery space? (ie. smaller inner diameter than the 19's outer tube).
I assume it does. So is the outer diameter the same as the 19?

I may just have to order this...

Hmmm...good question.
I just emailed him to find out.

Dang, good question. That I forgot to compare. I do not have my 8W anymore as I'm rocking two 19's now.

Ok. Answered my own question. Found it back on this thread posts#121-130 or so.
Looks like the 19 outer tube and the 8w tubes are the same tube.

I've only seen 2 hybrids out of this so far...
Anyone else?

8w button with stainless 19 outer tube, brass inner tube, brushed Igo W, and brushed brass shorty. Waiting on the fauxgatti top caps to come back in stock.

Nice :)
This is why I've been looking at the 8W
that and I want to hybrid one.
I've got a couple CIAV fauxgatti top caps that I got from kidney puncher.
But I need some in 22mm, 23mm and some Rsst ones :)

The one I got for the igo-l didn't actually fit - I guess my igo-l is a clone... it fit another FT atty, but it doesn't completely cover the base :(

I have so much money already spent in devices coming from pre-orders and slowtech that......
it really makes me want to just get the 8w NOW :) lol.
