The Airborne Telescopic mech is an all mechanical device made of stainless steel. Just like the Smoktech mech, it can use a variety of batteries ranging from 18350 to 18650.
After using this device for about four months, I have grown to love the versatility of being able to use a variety of batteries without having to disassemble and reassemble. Simply rotating either the upper or lower tube will change the total length of the device depending on the battery.
In terms of build quality, parts that are not threaded are press-fitted like the 510 connector which I found out about this when I accidentally dropped the unit on a hard surface. One thing I like is the spring on the switch is stiff enough that you can stand your mech without it firing.
Speaking of the connector, it has a deep well so one need not worry of spills. It is a a bit of a chore to clean as you can see some specks of dirt and dried up e-juice. Don't ask me how it got there because I use dripping atomizers.
The switch assembly is quite simple and easy to maintain. One interesting fact about this switch is that the white insulator on the far-left acts as a stopper for the battery. This means that you won't have to worry about the device auto-firing while screwing the tubes. This was one feature absent in the first version of the Smoktech mech which irritated my wife especially when it came to changing batteries.

| This spring as I mentioned in an earlier paragraph is quite stiff. Some may be put off by this. Personally, I like it. |

| I do not know the proper name for this part. I do know that this part makes direct contact with the battery when the switch is pressed. I had to sand down the insulator as I experienced some misfires during the first month of use. |

| The switch. With the exception of cleaning the threads every now and then to ensure good contact, I have never experienced any problems. For some, the simplicity of the switch's design may be a let down but to me it is an advantage. I've dropped this device about five times, each time the device landed on this part, and I have yet to notice any real damage. |
Conclusion:
I am quite happy with this device. The fact that I can use almost any battery made the purchase worth it. The use of stainless steel not only makes it durable but contributes to its good looks. As for "cons", the contact points could have been made of copper for a better connection and conductivity. For people with big or sweaty hands, the size and smooth surface may be a bit of an issue.
Overall, I believe that I made a good decision getting this mech. You can check the MyVape website for more information or go their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/myvape.airborne.
