Sha-wing batta batta, silver tip in da house!
My neutrino wand, ordered via HasLab 11/06/2021, arrived 5/26/2022, and is silver-tipped, with the packaging as as the folks above described.
BigBadToyStore now has separate listings for the original wand and the second version with the orange tip:
Version 1:

Version 2:

As of right now, Version 1 is still in stock.
FYI. I know there’s written instructions and pictures posted here on page 8 that shows how to remove and replace the grips but I found a video on YouTube showing how to do it. It’s good for those who aren’t confident in trying it and want to see it in live action.

Same here, I ordered mine when I preordered the Haslab pack. Other than the orange tip, is there any difference between the two versions of the wand? Mine did come with a second battery cover with a little connector for a hose, but I’m assuming that was part of the original run as well.
I will say, I was really impressed with what I got. It feels heavy and fairly tough, and there is something very satisfying about the different things happening when you flick the switches, and it feels very comfortable in my hands.
Thank you for sharing these! I’m really surprised that I have yet to find a set of grips made especially for this wand that don’t require modifying themselves yet.
Same here, I’m still looking for 3D printed front grips that slide over the original. Either the beefier screenused shotgun grip or the original ‘84 finger grip.
Super long shot on this one i know but does anyone have enough understanding of the electronics to know how to disable the first switch start up and shut down sound? Maybe desolder something? I hate it. I rather just have the activation sound effect and that’s it.
Does anyone know if the fake tape (rubber) can be removed by heating (hot water or hairdryer)? It would be nice to be able to mod it without cutting into the wand.
I’m pretty sure you just need to slice it at the top then pry it free from the adhesive on the bottom… then glue in a filler piece for the rear grip.
Thanks. Though I was wondering whether it’s removeable just by heating and rolling it back, without cutting it.
The rubber “tape wrap” on the Spengler wand is not just a wrap over the grip. It actually makes up part of the grip. If you remove it, a large chunk is missing out of the rear grip which you would need a filler piece for. You can find several options for a Spengler wand grip filler piece on Etsy and Ebay. If you have a 3d printer you can probably just make your own.
Yeah thanks! I had seen the fake tape removed (by cutting) before and know 2 or 3 finger grips are missing and need to be attached by a custom made 3D printed piece.
I was just wondering if anyone had managed to remove the fake tape rubber piece by simple heating and rolling it off the grip or whether it’s attached or glued on there and requires cutting it off.
Basically if it’s heat removeable I’d do it but if not I don’t want to cut the wand.
I don’t think it’s possible. It’s a very thick piece of rubber and doesn’t have a lot of flex.
I finally got one and the activation switch doesn’t work what can I do?
Please help.
It’s normal. Get brand new batteries
I put in rechargeable is that why? :sigh:
Most likely 
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn’t call it paranoia but when I get something that comes with batteries - I never use them. Just out of precaution - could be old batteries, could be shoddily made, etc. Especially if it’s some brand I never heard of. I just use the batteries I own - Energizers, Duracell, etc.
