I sure missed that 5 volt experience. It's nice to have it back.
First impressions:
- It's very similar in size to the Silver Bullet.
- thick aluminum battery tube, not cheap/thin and looks like it could take a beating
- very shiny
- the loose end cap spring was surprising. I opened the end cap and heard this jiggling/rattling and wondered what the sound was. The spring is inserted into a rubbery/foam insulator and pressed loosely into the end cap. Easily user replaceable if the end spring ever fails.....and it won't just fall out either. It's a good fit but not impossible to take out unless you really want to take it out
- a few machining marks/gouges on the top cap ( just being fussy )
- some imperfect machining on tube female threads ( again, just being fussy )
- the 510 connector is similar to the style used on the Chuck. If you try a 510 atty on it and it won't vape, pull the little "button" inside the connector up a smidge with a paperclip as the plastic insulator in the connector can get squished down from time to time. Easily user serviceable.
- the tube gets warm very easily from the warmth of your skin. I had to pull out the batteries a couple times because I thought I had a short, but batteries were cold. The aluminum conducts heat from your hands and warms the tube.
- Came nicely packaged in a USPS box, not a flimsy envelope
- had an instruction manual inside the package
- the button.......oh the wonderful button! Fires everytime at the slightest touch and easy to find with your finger without visually looking for it.
I'm really liking this mod, other than the size. Won't be very pocket friendly because of the girth and length. Weight wise, it's very manageable and similar in weight to my GGTS. It's about a 1/2 inch longer than my GGTS in 18650 mode, but the Saber Touch has much more girth/thickness. But, I could buy two Saber Touches for the price of one GGTS.
In all, I believe this mod to be an extremely good value for all that you get and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid device that looks beautiful and can take an 18650, CR123a's and 16340's. Just don't expect it to be very pocket friendly because of the girth.
I'll be sure to post back here if any of my opinions change.
Good job Sir Lawrence, you've impressed a very finnicky mod user that's owned a lot of mods including a Prodigy V1, Prodigy V2, PS PassThru V2, Protege, Silver Bullet, Chuck, GGTS, GGT, GG Slim, GG Super Slim, GG Grant and a Copper!!!!!!
