@Vape Geek had word from a little birdie that back in November, I fell in love with this mod. Unfortunately, the cost of the original is just ridiculously high and poor folk like me can't grace or compete with the likes of some members in the vAPE Pit. To put it simple, I'ma BROKE ASS BITCH.
Luckily for me, Vape Geek is fecking awesome and she offered to send me this from HCIGAR to review.
Here are the basics:
The mod arrives with the 18350 complete, with the 18650 and 18500 tubes side x side. It's a square (post box friendly even with bubble wrap!) HCIGAR box and foam padding. The tubes are held in securely to avoid damage while in transit.
I immediately took the entire Mod apart to check the threading, top cap, and firing button.
The threading on all 3 tubes (6 ends in total) were very clean, machining leftovers were pretty much non existent. Running your fingers inside the tubes, the threading is set inside the tube, so it's not rough at all.
As you can see, the pins are copper and adjustable. The top cap pin is made up of 3 parts. Delrin insulator, connection adjuster (for your atties ect) and a battery adjuster. By moving the two copper bits you can find the perfect spot to keep your batteries snug.
I will dismantle the firing pin/button in a later update. Threading on all of these are smooth.
Without nolax and just a simple rub down with a cotton ball on the threads picked up what ever was left over from machining, which wasn't much at all. All part screw together, flawlessly.
Even the reverse locking ring spins smoothly for locking/unlocking of the firing button. There are two vent holes beneath the locking ring and are invisible unless you are looking for them.
As most of you know, I go by Em on facebook and social sites so the bottom button is like...made just for ME! (the spots aren't damage, just left over cotton fuzz!)
The top cap has 4 recesses for air flow, juice leakage.
Coupled with the Aqua (from @stealthvape) the Tree looks like a beast. I am currently using it with an Igo Dripper coiled a .8ohms with cotton.
As I do not have the original to compare this to, I can only base my opinion on what I have in front of me. it is my opinion that HCIGAR have done it again and made a damn good copy of a beautiful mod.
I'll use this for a couple days before giving my final thoughts on it, but so far in the last few hours, it hasn't let me down. I think Nermy has been replaced by my Tree of Em!
