Conneazoo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm looking at two clones a lot. The Panzer and the Nzonic V5. I'm leaning more towards the Nzonic because it is a 23 mm device where as the Panzer is 25mm. Anyone with experience with these two care to weigh in? Also pros and cons of PVD coating. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 They have horrible voltage drop. Not so bad if you can get the PVD off the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoevapekins Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The non fasttech clone doesn't have pvd coating on the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The non fasttech clone doesn't have pvd coating on the threads. I saw the hcigar clone and its threads were also coated. But the build quality was truly top notch! It had a spring loaded floating copper positive pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conneazoo Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Good to know. Thanks guys. The Panzer clone has PVD on the threads. The Nzonic doesn't. Another pro for the Nzonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'd love a true copper Panzer 26650! Slowttech has one but its chocked full of disappointments. Its only copper plated and no locking ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
