I gave in for one... just now... I guess I'll see how I like it. Since I'm kind of new to the world of mechanicals I don't really want to be dropping serious cash nor waiting up to a year. If it performs who cares. Just like in the airsoft world, I can make a 100 dollar gun shoot just as good if not better than a 500 dollar gun.

Since I bought my first mechanical the #19 with Nzonic head, I've been loving it more than my Zmax. I even ordered the #19 Brass since it just looked too cool. I actually have 3 more mods ordered: smok Natural, #20 and #24...plus #8 is on pre-order. The best place to get these mods is at Vapor Tek USA.

I wonder if 10 years from now they will be worth anything. Maybe collector items or just neat conversation pieces. Kind of like the Zack Morris cell phones. It makes me wonder what they'll look like in the future. I have this crazy idea for an atty with multiple ejuice compartments to switch between...like those pens with different colors inks built into it.

I can see the high end mods being a collector's items. As for the sigelei mods, I'm sure it will still have a following. More like a classic American muscle cars (the caravela), compared to a late 80's to mid 90's import car (sigelei, kamry, smoktechs, etc.).

A bottom liquid feeder with multiple bottles? Something with an inline flow control gang-valve. Close all but one valve, and you got 1 flavor. Slightly open two or more, and you can squonk new flavors.

Despite all the comments here I wanted one... but I guess missed the boat so far. Can't find any preorders that are not sold out. :(

That has happened to me several times, so that is why I pushed the add to cart button about 2 weeks ago. I love the look and only wish ProVari would make a nicer looking mod and I would buy one, but I just do not like the brushed look or dimpled pattern on the ProVari.

Best Wishes,
Wabbit

I'm of the same thought with the Provari. It's just not my style but I hope they have their R&D team reading reviews on ECF so they can release other designs. I have a concept design in Photoshop if they want to make it. I'd buy it in a heart beat. It's has a glass breaker bottom cap and brass knuckle design with seat belt cutter. I'd also design this with a led flash light. And have it in camo color. They'll have a huge customer base in the south, especially with hunters.

I hope the 8w comes available again at a US supplier soon, but the way Sigelei is pumping out new mods who knows.

On July 8th, Abe from Exhale Vapors posted on Facebook that the 8W preorder had shipped from China and that they would be shipping the following week, but it must be a Slooooow Boat from China because they have not arrived yet. Still waiting for the announcement and my vape mail with great anticipation.

Woohoo! mine came in today! took it apart and inspected it, put a battery and popped in my rsst and out of the box it hits pretty darn good! surprisingly. The finish on the tube is very shiny and slick, kinda tricky to fire the switch with your pinky because my hand tends to slide unless I grip the mod a bit. The switch is a little stiff but its brand new, the top cap has a tiny screw that's adjustable to keep the battery from rattling and also provides the positive connection of the batt, I can see it now! that would be the first place of concern about this mod. At least it doesn't sit crooked like the shipwreck when you put the mod down with an atty that has some weight to it. Quick cellphone pic

Mine came today. Cancelled the order but they mailed it anyway.

It hits ok.

Right off the bat, battery rattle, crappy adjustment to remove the battery rattle, the bottom switch is too stiff and has too long of a throw, and the top cap is less than desirable in design.

That being said its a $33 mod.

Threads are smooth. Doesn't fire while sitting up without locking it. No wobble in the switch.

For the price, I say again, for the price, I have no complaints with it, except the top cap, but it is exchangeable with the 19, or a fusion hybrid kit. It has a voltage loss on par with a nemesis.
