    Almost forgot my vaporversery! 6 YRS!!!

    Nov. 22, 2013, went to a vape shop an hour from the house and came home with setups for me and my husband and my mom. We all quit that day together, no cigs smoked. There were 7 pks in a carton in the house! Husband weened himself down quickly and has stopped vaping also. He hasn't vaped or...

    Small mod around 50 watts

    I purchased 5 of these for about $20 apiece a couple years ago. My mom uses 2 everyday for almost a year now. She uses a nautilus with the .7 coils at 16-18 watts and gets days out of a LGHG2. They are built very nice. Not too big or heavy. Only thing negative I can say is battery insertion is...

    MM and Shapeways finally got some of my money

    @Chase Goodflavor , I don't think Alumide is offered anymore. I agree on the tolerances, it fits together perfect. I didn't think I would like the cut out (Juicy style) for the battery removal, but it becomes a nice grip for finger placement in use actually. Using my left hand. The dying...

    MM and Shapeways finally got some of my money

    @MMW , the Modmaker site has files listed. If you could use a 3D printer at work that would be fantastic! I wouldn't even begin to know where to start with a 3D printer. My grown boys (19-22) are my go to for all things tech. I am clueless. LOL Neither of them have had or want a 3D printer.

    Dead easy.........only actual tool used was a dremel. I eyed the bend locations and marked and went for it. The cuttout was finished by my SIL. He has better eyes and a steadier hand. Used Rit dye (for nylon), color Emerald Green, and it came out like faded jeans........LOL but I like it! Have...

    Mech mod weak hits

    @mac-nutty, not that I am aware of. I have had no issues using and I never dry burn to red hot. Coils last me a long time and never look the worse for wear. I actually used my first attempt an N80 coils for almost six months, re wicking and dry burning every 4-5 days. I also diy my e-liquid and...

    Oh you have no idea LOLOLOL I have laughed about the idea of making stab wood and all that that entails. My husband was a HARD NO on that idea!! I know why they cost what they cost. I love them from afar. Champagne taste and beer budget and all that. I was like "but honey we already have an air...

    MM and Shapeways finally got some of my money

    I'm just about neck deep down the rabbit hole at this point. I wanted a really nice squonker and recently went to a vape expo where I handled several 300-400$ beautiful mods. WAY too expensive for me. Was about to order my first REO, then took this turn. I can do this! All silver contacts and...

    MM and Shapeways finally got some of my money

    @zoiDman, I ordered the PRNT3D JUICY in white processed. It has some texture on its own. You are the first person I've heard say anything about a heat gun!!! I have one of those. LOL. My son and I just had the conversation about not having any extra peices to test dye. Didn't know I could...

    @Ben85 , thanks thats what I wanted to hear LOL. I did order the spanner set, thought that should be all I would need. I also picked up doubles of some things just in case I screw something up.

    Thanks for some education, love this place and members. My thinking with the sand/ prime/sand/paint/sand/clear coat may/would cause issues with the tolerances of the door and button fit also.

    MM and Shapeways finally got some of my money

    @bombastinator, I was kinda conflicted about this also. Some say easy to dye and set the color. Some say the temperature has more to do with the color saturation and too hot deforms the 3d print. Also I heard consistency of color among the peices may also be off. So I went with white with the...

    MM and Shapeways finally got some of my money

    Well I finally pulled the trigger. Going to attempt my first mech mod build (squonker). I think I have everything required although I didn't purchase the 510 tightening tool. Hope that wasn't a mistake. Anyone have any advise, tips, tricks for me. I have watched most of Geekay Vapes videos on...
