im seriously thinking of taking the plunge and getting a super t precise 18650. can anyone who has one tell me what doesent fit on it. and does anyone have the correct dimensions. i will for the foreseeable be using boges and tanks, at the minute these are arry v3 (does this fit without the adapter) and lil mama. im not really the type for having loads of devices, ive been using a ggtb for a year and at the minute (for the past week) the touchwood 18650. the ggtb was fine but it was time for a change and the change is the touchwood but im not sure it is for me. dont get me wrong it performs great and looks great but i dont seem to be getting on with the top button and even though i have big hands i dont seem to be able to use it with any comfort but thet may be just the change of mods. ive wanted the super t for some time but just couldnt bring myself to spend that much on one device. i prefer the devices with the least amount of circuitry and the super t seems to be the one no one has anything bad to say about it. anyway, any reasons for not buying one and for buying one would be helpful.

It's a superb mod and a flat 510 connection so the only thing you'll need an adapter for is an ego type device like the vision stardust. As mechanical mods go these are one of the very best Edit to say the only reason I can think of for not buying one is the price, they are virtually provari money

I have the smaller 18350 Raggy and I can tell you they are very well made. It doesn't get used because I prefer the Provari for the VV, but if I didn't have the Provari, it would definately be my Mod of choice and I have had the GG, SB, Don, Apex and just about everything else with less than 20 letters in it's name

I have no ' technical ' advice to give you Raggy, other than to say, if you'd really like it, then buy it . . . that is if you wouldn't want to have the added advantage a Provari would give you? Whatever you choose, you more than deserve it, for all sorts of reasons.

thanks for the replies, im such an indecisive buyer with anything and is it a lot for a sort of standard device. but it ticks most of the boxes ie: top end connection materials, shortest path from batt to bizness end, button lock and fault finding should be very easy. the downside for me is the overall length with the arry on top, it is not very discreet when out and about with the pinky on the button i can imagine a fair bit sticking out of your hand when in use. i still get paranoid when out of house vaping even after 2 years, but i still want the 18650 battery time. a bit more thinking required i suppose which is half my trouble i think it about then talk myself out of it raggy.........

Raggy, can't help you with the 18650 but i've just received a new 18500. The bottom button is the easist i've ever used, even lighter than a screwdriver and the locking mechanism is ingenious. There are extra washers supplied to alter the button throw and o rings for different length batteries. I cannot get my stardust to work on it yet but that could be my adapter. The rhodium contacts work a treat, as good a hit as the touchwood. The threads are super slick and you can tell the maker takes pride in his work. The only thing i'm not over sure on is the finish. I would have preferred it shiny.

thanks BM im fairly sure this is the one for me, dont get me wrong about the touchwood it performs and looks great but the top button is taking a bit of getting used too.
one thing i did have a problem with yesterday was the button was sticking a bit, around the base of the button there seemed to be a very thin film of a waxy type substance around the lower part of the button i wiped it off and it seems fine now, any idea what it is, it is not grime as its only a week old.

No idea Raggy, sorry. Might be a bit of lube Ian's put in there. You can take the top off the unit to clean the whole top switch if it ever needs it, just don't take the bottom off! If you want to sell it if you get a precise, you will get your money back, there's a waiting queue to buy touchwoods.

In my opinion, Super T products are the best engineered I've come across. They are also more or less indestructible (my Super T Super Six is over two old and as good as day one). If you want a mechanical mod - there are none better - I also have a P+ 18350 and P+ 18500, so have put my money where my mouth is.

If you want to sell it if you get a precise, you will get your money back, there's a waiting queue to buy touchwoods. it could be a lube of some sort that has attracted some grime, no problem though. the new instructions and modified (i assume) touchwood allow you to take off the bottom as well to clean. i dont want to sell the touchwood i dont think, it works just great. i will get shot of the ggtb when someone is actually looking for one, but for now its my spare. raggy

Be interested to hear your thoughts if you get this raggy, it's definitely on my wish list. I'm a bit torn though between the 18650 and the 18500. Still, either will take a kick (if they ever get easier to get!)
