There may be a bit of overlap between this and the UK vendors thread, but I thought it would be useful to have a thread people can go to for checking out all the mods available. If I miss any (which I probably will!) please post below and I'll update this first post.

A lot of mods are available outside of the UK, but where there is a UK vendor selling them I'll also link to them.

Following on from the Indulgence thread, this is the best example of what we should be seeing in the forums Jackie.
Now can the owners of these add their reviews?

Sorry Dave but that doesn't pass as a mod, it's a mass produced Chinese clone of a mod. :) Apologies if that comes across harsh, but one of the thoughts behind this thread was to support the Western mod makers. Not that I have anything against the Chinese...just not in this thread. :)

Will add Vaporkings thanks moog. Does Imeo himself have an actual site do you know?

[moog]

No Jackie he doesn't...only on ECF sub forum...:)

[Jackie]

Yeah that's what I thought moog but thought I'd double check.

PS I realise the thread title may not have made absolutely clear what this thread is for so I've updated it. :)

Interesting... I take it you know where the SD Mk II is being made?

[Jackie]

Yeah, that thought had occurred to me...same with the Janty Stick which is made by Joye I think. Perhaps I should remove those from the list.

[Crossbow]

Probably - the stick is no more a mod than the 905, after all :P

[Jackie]

Aye. Edited the list. :)

[hifistud]

I have to say, I had a giggle the fist time I read that the 905 is a Chinese-made clone of a mod - so is the SD Mk II! Only difference, really, is one is sanctioned by the originator of the SD, and the other isn't. And the one that isn't is the least clone-like. Bodies made in same factory though.

Sorry... here coat... here coat... Coat??!! HERE!

[Jackie]

I couldn't really comment on them being the same as I haven't seen them side by side. I'd be willing to take a chance on saying the MkII is better quality though, given that Trog oversaw the whole process and it doesn't have a cheap and nasty button on it. ;)

Honestly I have nothing against the 905 if it's taken for what it is. But it's not in same league as a Screwdriver, either Mk1 or Mk2 - they may look similar (and in that way the 905 is a clone, that was an intentional copy) but they're not the same product at all in my opinion. I've no idea if they're made in the same factory, but even presuming they are that doesn't mean the same quality materials are used or that they're built to the same specs. :)

[hifistud]

The bodies - casings, if you will - are, apparently, made in the same factory.The 905's is drilled for the neck switch, otherwise, they're the same - I'm told.

The neck pieces are different (have to be, since the 905's houses both the switch and the LED as well as the electronics) and the butt-ends are different (the MK II has the almost-GG-type switch and the 905 a latching "master" switch.)

Naturally, since they are so different, the specs will differ. But the body casings are, to all intents and purposes, identical.

As for cheapness and nastiness of buttons, I had a gander at the TW/TECC forum to see whether theirs was gathering any flak. Apparently, it's a wise move to unscrew your atty if you're pocketing the thing, otherwise you may end up with a singed leg/boob/buttock/thigh. Can't quite remember who posted that snippet... :baffled: :)

[Crossbow]

The side switch was a selling point to me, as I've never liked end buttons, and while the first batch of 905s (apparently) had a pretty naff button, the v2 (which I have) seems pretty solid, certainly more so than than the stick switch, for example.
It's still likely to be the first thing to break, but thats always going to be the case with moving parts, and it's not hugely expensive to replace, but only time will tell how durable it really is.
I fully expect to kill mine - I went through 3 sticks between the end of May and the middle of Nov, so I'm pretty good at breaking stuff :P

I don't unscrew the atty with mine. What I did was buy a couple of these cases from ebay:

That's a perfect screwdriver case. Just pop it in there atty first and the flap ensures the button won't get pushed when it's in your pocket. Nice and easy.

The difference between the first and second iteration is huge. My new stock has just arrived (9:25 this morning) and the units feel very much more solid - the switches are very tactile and positive in comparison to the first lot, and the neck mounts are much, much better. The seal is cracking, too.

I'm going to get pricing on replacement necks, as I think you're right - the neck switch will be the first to wear out. It will get 15-20 times the punishment that the butt switch will get.

Looks wise, the black with blue LED is killer - really liking that one. And with the 401 converter, the taste and volume is just amazing.

[Crossbow]

I'll probably get a spare 'head' while HG are doing their free shipping offer, just a shame they don't carry the black version, it does sound like a winner :)
Much as I like the 401 atomiser, there's no way I could go back to those dinky little carts though :P

To save a post elsewhere

[hifistud]

dipping is the way to go. The atty is amazing, but the carts are, as you say, a bit too dinky, and a bit selfish with the juice, too - they seem to like to keep it to themselves. Even so - I lurve the flavour out of a 401 - seems to intensify any juice.

[Jackie]

I've never tried the 401, I'm loving the 103/108 and RN4081 on the Copper though. Does the 401 compare to that? Mind you I've got a big enough atty collection as it is, not sure I want to add another type, lol.
