The PP18650 is the latest production of the Precise Plus line from Super T Manufacturing.
The PP18650 is the big brother to it siblings the PP18500 and the PP18350.
The numbers stand for the size of battery it uses.
I am not going to post a lot of pictures here. It is the same as what Professor Beard's review of the PP18350 that has lots of pics,
The Super T Precise Plus 18350 except of course the PP18650 takes a larger battery.
I will say, this is the most impressive mod I have ever purchased. The level of quality and craftmanship that went in to manufacturing this mod more than lives up to it's name "The Precise Plus". The fit of this mod is so exact, it is hard to distinquish a seam when the end caps are screwed on to the body.
This all stainless steel mod sports a 400 grit finish, which gives it a metallic like glistening sheen to it when held under a light. One would think that a 400 grit finish would feel and look rough, but that is not the case. Another nice thing about this finish is, it does not appear to show or pick up finger prints.
As I understand it, the contacts are triple plated, topped off with a Rhodium plating over top of a gold plating. Rhodium, as it has been explained to me, is a precious metal that withstands corrosion, oxidation and damage from electrical archs, thus eliminating the need to clean the contacts as would be required had they been bare brass.
The switch is all mechanical and is lockable by sliding the center of the switch cap outwards, preventing it from firing while be carried or stored.
The action of the switch is as smooth as melted butter.
The connector cap is also masterfully machined. You will find no screws or bolts being used here for the center contact. It is like I said, triple plated topped off with a coating of Rhodium. A Joye 510 atomizer screws on and seats perfectly.
I am using AW18650 2600mah Li-Ions in it. There were no adjustments needed, the fit of these batteries are as the name describes, Precise. The inner diameter of the body is of exacting measurements so there is no slop or play in the batteries. They will not shake around inside the mod no matter how hard you try.
Implemented in this mod are three vent slots for safety, this is so just in case the battery should ever decide to go nuclear, the expanding gases will have a way to vent. This along with the fact that this mod is all stainless steel, which is far stronger than aluminum, and the quality of build of this mod, makes it IMHO one of the safest mods ever made.
The PP18650 is an extremely handsome rig, and is a pleasure to hold and use.
This picture does it no justice, you really have to see one and hold it in your hands and use it to really appreciate it.
