Also got my Slug today. I won't bother with the pictures, as
adjam1972 has done pretty good job of the pics
.
Right, my impressions.
mod seems to be well built and certainly does feel good in the hand. It is brushed brass (but I prefer that to shiny anyway). The threads for the 510 and battery section seem to be quite good.
Its not as heavy as I thought it would be. The wood does have some blemishes, but its a natural material and adds to the look really. (besides, nothing that a quick rub down with fine sandpaper and polish won't sort out.
I had a bit of a panic attack to start with, as none of my Taifun GT's worked with it and I have 3!! Kayfun and fogger were both fine. It turns out that I had screwed in my atty too hard (trying to get it flush) and pushed the connecting pin down, so wasn't making a decent connection. Luckily, its easy to push it back out again (I did it with a back-end of a pen). I have since just lightly tightened my atty and all seems to be ok now. BUT, the GT's will NOT sit flush - there is a 1mm gap. I am ok with this, as I was aware (watching the YouTube videos) and it doesn't really bother me.
The switch isn't as smooth as I would like. I seem to be able to get it to fire every other attempt. Now this could be just technique and the mechanism needs use to loosen up a bit - but, this switch is never going to be smooth action IMO. There is too much play in the switch and unless your press is true and central - it will catch and not fire. This is irritating, but not necessarily a deal breaker for me (but may be for some)
Overall - I like it! yes some niggly faults (I suspect the centre pin will loosen over time) - for £40 its not a bad buy and will certainly get some use from me (I think)
Wonder what other peeps think of it
