I'll do it if you send it.... Looks like a leaker supreme. Look how low that lower afc hole is. That's lower than the deck lip on the freakshow mini.
M2 grubs= .035"
M2.5 grubs= .050"
M3 grubs = 1.5mm
4/40 grubs= 1/16 or .063"
M2 hex cap screws= 1.5mm
M2.5 hex cap screws= 2mm
This type of post with good info is why I love my Samsung galaxy tablet pull out the handy dandy galaxy pen press the button takes a snapshot and i can write any notes on it if need be.
I will not dispute what you are saying as Hudy and Thorpe/ MRP hex drivers are quality tools. In fact, being a former pro RC ( 1/8 scale gas cars) and scale slot car racer, I have sets of both. I will say that while I've never had a set of Wiha hex drivers, I stand by my statement about using the torx drivers for atty's without the need to change the hardware.
For example, a 1/24 scale cobalt eurosport slot car motor turns in excess of 80,000 rpm. The wheels are secured to the 3/32 axles with 0.50 grubs. During an 8 lane rotation, you have 2 minutes to move your controller, run around the 150' plus track and service your car. It is sometimes necessary to change tires 2 to 3 times during a race. The grubs have to be tight! Even with The Hudy's I've had problems with stripping the socket of the grubs. Once I changed over to using a torx driver, that problem became a thing of the past.
Now slot car racing doesn't have squat to do with vaping however, I felt I had to explain as to why I chose to stick with the torx.

I've used Torx drivers for hex screws / bolts in other applications with good results, just not for these fiddly little grubs, so it makes sense they would work well. My issue isn't so much the stripping as it is having a bag of unlabeled cheap hex keys that come with the attys, and these rounding off is more of an issue than head stripping too. The size info posted here helps, thanks.
I got 10+1 of the sunbox Cappy bottles a week or so back at the suggestion of Robbie Blood. Work awesome on a TMOD. I sent TMOD Tommy a couple to try too. Interested to see if he digs em or laughs at them 
Pricey, but sometimes I just decide I gotta have something.
I love:
a) The name - ORTDS ("Ohm Reader That Doesn't Suck" )
b) The finish - powder coat, solid box with screws
c) Nice parts - non-slip feet, 22mm deck springloaded 510
Note - it's not "on/off" slide switch - you press the tiny button to get a reading...haven't decided if I'd prefer it stay on or not...
Also note - I don't think he stocks ANY - you get to pick yer color, he builds it for you...so don't be in a rush if you want one...

If you are handy with a body reamer you can use almost any 10 ml bottle just ream the top cap alternating top and bottom of the lid until the cap fits the tube firmly. The e8 needs an offset bottle, your monster doesn't. The e8 bottles will work nicely but aren't necessarily required. I found them on Amazon for 10 for $5. You would also need a polycarbonate reamer (used for reaming the holes in the bodies of R/C cars) for $12-20. I suppose you could drill the bottle but I have never had much luck getting the holes the perfect size. The Sunbox bottles I used in the monster were identical to the TBev's 18650 bottles. I just can't see using $10/each bottles when you don't have too.
Try these:
Body reamer with scissors that will work great for re-wicking purposes as a bonus.
So for a hair over $20 and a few minutes of your time you can have 10 bottles and the ability to make more as needed for $6.37

I thought I read somewhere that the new Cappy v3 bottles won't work in the monster anyway. Have you ever tried one tom?

Also Tom what 22mm catch cup did you use to change your Gal. I've been told the sunbox flatter will work on a sva penguin but sure a proper 22mm cup would look better

Galactika sells there own cup that is epoxied and soldered in. Not as easy as a Sunbox. I did both of mine, want them?
I'm just not as big of a Galactika fan as I thought I would be.
I just bought a penguin so was asking how feasible it is to swap the 14mm cup out. How much you selling for anyway?
