Saturday will be two weeks of using nothing but the Hanged mod... I can very very confidently recommend this mod to anyone.. by far one of my favorite mechs. Even when using the long throw button it's amazing... All Three RDAs leaked on the 510 pin so I do not recommend the RDA from 2fdeal but get the mod whenever you're browsing for a new addition!
I wonder, why no one mentioned this
SCNDRL 1st Edition, clone, of course. They are very solid and heavy, like the authentic, which is next to impossible to find. Can't tell how they fire yet since I just got it and am charging my batteries atm.
I own several authentic mods, like the Nemesis, but I hardly use them anymore.
I also placed an order for the blue Negus Indra, just coz I like its look.
BTW, I order from my friend's shop, local, not from any web site.

Is there a significant difference between the Shorty and the X as far as performance? The shorty and full size Subzeros are my favorite mods.
I got and really like my Gold Negus Indra mod, the switch works well every time, the panels look great, it has a gap which I would rather it not have, the threads are very smooth top and bottom, it seems very well worth the price considering what went into its creation, blue is next 
Have you tried using a mod guard on it to close the gap? I have to use mod guards anytime I use a Twisted Messes/Compvape because the switch will either be protruding or there will be a gap in the threads.
Are those from kindbright? I have an authentic subzeroX and an authentic subzeroX rda coming in. Also bought 2 clones from kindbright for use at work and spare parts. My shorty doesn't get much use since the X came in. Definitely a noticeable difference.
Got an idea I wanted to try with the sleeves when the clones come in

Yes they are Kindbright, the RDA is quite nice as well. They sort of screwed up on the latest batch not a big issue but springs are to long and that breaks the button lock, easy fix just bend/compress it a little.
Love the authentic subzeroX. Hoping the kindbright is 1:1. Looks like it though. I seen a cheaper clone on YouTube that doesn't have the clutch system just a flat pin that's part of the button. Glad you posted pics of yours broken down.
Does the copper on the rda cap oxidize on the inside? That is the only thing that worries me with China products you never know what they're made of. Is there a way to see if the copper or brass has lead or anything in it? Probably just over thinking things. Mainly bought them for beater mods when out and about and don't want to bring the authentic with me for fear of damage
I have US made Coppers, and Brass, very little difference in how they age. the inside of all of my Copper and brass usually remains fairly clean unless soiled in some way. I'm no expert metallurgist, nor am I all that well versed on the different grades/types of metal, but as far as I know the only lead free brass is Naval. As for the copper who knows what is in any of them.
Not all that long ago there was some debate as to where SOI was having mods made, rumor was the same China shop Kindbright used for the SOI clones, that was one reason for SOI's major butthurt over the clones. I could see no difference in the SOI shorty I had and the Kindbright, every single part would interchange, and they even formed the same color patina. Most larger cloners in China have authentic pieces sent to them for copying, typically the better makers are extremely close, sometimes even better. The Skyline RTA is prime example of this.
I'm also not concerned with the prospect of slight lead content of non-naval brass or Chinese copper. Atomizers, yes, mods no. But that is a personal choice, and neither right or wrong. Now maybe it is on a personal chemical matter But none of my copper or brass has ever discolored my skin, nor does it smell like a dirty penny. If it were a concern and I didn't trust the metallic make up of something I'd just slap a chemically inert clear coat on it.
The SRZ is a good clone, I've had no issues with it at all, when they arrive TYD the brass and copper will be clear coated first thing I do with pretty much anything I receive is strip the CC off if it has one.
I guess bottom line is if your concerned with what its made of avoid it.

My copper mods only green my hand a little when I have it in my hand for hours. Lol. Not concerned about that though. Been doing a lot of reading about the rda caps being copper though. Not overly concerned just questioning how the clone copper and brass caps where. Either way I have an authentic stainless rda.
Never knew that about soi n China. That's the risk of having things made there though, but either way China would have cloned them anyway seeing how much of a hit they are.
Can't wait till I get them. Loving the authentic. Didn't really like what they had to offer sleeve wise so far so gonna try something out with the clone sleeves
