Very nice, can't see any print lines.

No sanding or anything. Yeah, I think it was as close to perfect as you can get.

 

[tiburonfirst]

nice!

glad this thread finally showed up under 'new posts' - i'm still picking up the pieces

drunk, do not dare to reprimand me! i need to post to keep this on my radar once again!

 

[tiburonfirst]

i had no watched threads - i was navigating through 'my posts' which gave me all the threads i'd posted in. with that i never felt the need to subscribe to anything.
i'm using 'watched threads' now which will be an acceptable substitute but first i have to locate my old threads

it's been slow-going

I started painting a second 4.2 and came up with a moderately interesting effect...worn blue denim. i wasn't planning on leaving it like that.
Oh, and the green one is finished.

 

[junquedujour]

love that worn denim! need lipstick red trim on it

 

[moresalt]

hmmm, I've got some kandy apple red that I could use to paint the ring and button. Or were you thinking of a pair of red lips painted on the side of it?

 

[junquedujour]

well, i was thinking ring and button, but hey! whatever blows your skirt up. heh.

 

[junquedujour]

whatever you decide on, i, and many pekoaholics on here, want to see the end product.

p.s. love that green also. such a majestic shade.

So after some finagling and modding I was able to get the 26650 Peko up and running. Here's a group pic...

what drip tips are those? especially the grey one??

I am planning on my first peko build soon. I will be ordering parts at the end of the week. I have a few questions. what do you think of rustoleum heavy duty primer for sealing/base coat for painting? I am hoping it will smooth the grainy texture to allow for nice paint job. how pocket friendly is the 26650 vs. the 18650 version? i see many pics and the 26650 doesn't look to be that much bigger?? ( i would like to utilize the greater battery life) last question is how low of a build can the components handle on these mods?? I do occaisionaly get around the .2 ohm range on a dripper, but a daily would be .5 - .7 ohms. the hot builds are specific to certain flavors of liquid. I have a couple of favorites that are awesome at lower resistance and more airflow. thanks to all for info thats already posted. I have been reading up in the forums on this subject for almost a week!! lots of good stuff guys and gals!!

Can't help on the Rustoleum, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Others know better than I.
An 18650 battery lasts me as long as a bottle of E-Liquid. If I have to fill it anyway, I don't mind changing the battery. Now if I could get a 10-15ml bottle in a 26650, I would seriously consider a couple of more devices.
I have run a .4-.5 ohm build consistently since I put it in service & have never had a problem.

i think @pwheeler used it and maybe a few others. seems they were happy with the results. one of them will be along soon and maybe even do a show 'n tell. you can search on rustoleum in this thread too for answers.

New family pic...

how is that samurai bonsai on flavor? was thinking of getting one myself. Good looking group you got there!

 

[junquedujour]

i can't remember anymore @muzichead - did you use the rustoleum on yours?

 

[muzichead]

I used Rustoleum on the 26650 and it didn't set up like the Krylon. The Rustoleum has a more slippery feel than the Krylon and the drying time is longer. I ran out of Krylon and the only thing I could find at the time was Rustoleum. I only did 2 coats with it then went and bought the Krylon for the other 4 or 5 remaining coats.

Finally got it cerakoted. And the Gdna I had in the works? Well, quite litterally... my dog ate my homework. Will have to order a new print for that one

 

[dethnode]

Ok, need a backup for my peko, considering a 26650 peko, or a gdeal dna40....


Pros and Cons.... go....

I'm struggling to get good pics due to overcast conditions but here's my latest PeKo. It was a black polished sent to Darren at OCD mods for a custom cerakote ghost flame paint job, pics just don't do it justice.
