here is my first peko and my first bottom feed mod absolutely loving this thing! was disappointed with the grey from sculpeto but other than that absolutely in love with this thing now!
Unfortunately I can't even glue and screw apparently lol. That's why I chose to purchase a pre built one. I was hoping if I could fix it I would try building one from scratch. The design is so genius, comfortable, light, and I love the non metal option. The nut on the button keeps coming unglued but I thought I was doing the spring wrong thanks for clearing that up. I think I damaged the button with excessive turning figuring I'm to old and blind to tell if the contact was adjusting , or maybe too much glue build up. So sent it in for repair

If you're sending it in you need to make sure they are putting the large button in it. The short button makes it too hard to adjust. Especially for us old farts.
Glad you guys are all back!
So quick question: I don't have springs for the switch but I do have magnets. I understand that one magnet goes around the nut inside the button but where does the other one go? Should I glue it on the internal frame, over the lug that holds the firing pin? Thanks!

Yes, I glued both magnets, just make sure they are opposing fields. I think they work better than the spring.
I'm pleased with it. I haven't built it, but dry fitted and all seems good. I bought the polished, but the polishing isn't quite as good as Sculpteo's. I am impressed by the time from order to delivery. Ordered on 4/13 and was at my door on 4/22. Can't beat that. I don't know what happened to Sculpteo. It took a month and many emails and finally a Paypal dispute, which I promptly cancelled when it did arrive, and not once did I get a response as to what happened to my order. I know most everyone else has had great luck with Sculpteo and my first order from them went well, I am really hesitant about going with them again. When the time comes to get another, I'll decide then.

If you glue your bottom magnet in you will have a bear of a time getting your button screwed onto your firing pin. I just put my lower magnet over the firing pin screw and screw the button on. it will self center in the recess of the internal when you put top cap on. hard to explain but its easier to assemble and disassemble if its not glued in. also an oring under the top magnet will help push the magnets closer if you want a little more resistance in your button.

I run .4ohms on my Derringer, and I've got it down flush. Been running it for several weeks now, and no problems.
So I've been using my blue Peko/Chalice combo all day for about a week. No leaking, great flavor, and I think it just looks awesome. Today I noticed that it was pretty anemic and I thought maybe my battery was low. Got home & checked it- nope, 4.0 volts. So then I took a bit of sandpaper & noalox to the firing pin, and BAM!
This has been a public service announcement to remind you to clean your contacts!
It's ok to sand that pin, right?

looks like what is called a "Hercules" atty....that's what I was told the name of mine is anyways....
addit:my mistake,when I looked closer its not like my Hercules atty and is just like my rm4...I think Rob calls it.
I don't think I ever took a picture cause if I did it should be in my bucket and it isn't. I did find a pic of the magnet mod I did to OliveR which was what gave me the idea to try the magnets I had for them and bingo.
