So after 24 hrs I can report that the quality of the mod is pretty good . Obviously all the metalwork is mirror shiny and the laser etch does the boat,the caravela name,the button engraved and the signature obverse to the caravela logo Switch is very smooth in operation even with an off centre push. Locking ring is anti clock threaded and is spot on with no perceivable slackness in the threads. Same apples to the tube threads. Centre pin in head looks to be silver plated and is adjustable- the threading here is so smooth that it can be wound in or out by using a fingernail it really is silky. Not tried it with a kick yet or any fluke meter ohms volts or amp tests but 'seat of the pants' vaping on a mixture of batt sizes using a protank 2 (only as I had a variety of pre wound coils to try in different resistances) seems pretty impressive. All in all pretty happy for the bang per quid ratio. Cost me £35 plus the old p+p from vapegeek with next day delivery. Only downside is having to sell my paps 2.5 to cover it and buy another for myself as my daughter has seen it and decided she needs it more than me and that she will at least polish it- oh and can she please have 2 batts for each size of tube So cost analysis expensive when you have to buy 2 and 6 batts but in my opinion worth it(if only to keep my daughter off the stinkies) So in all a worthwhile mod as long as you don't have a 20 yr old daughter with a magpie eye lol Cheers Richie Ps will give it a few days of hanging around in the air to oxidise a bit then do a few ohms,volts and amp tests on it to see if the numbers back up its 'feel'
