Printed Mechanical Bottom Feeder Mod

Rossum: yeah this was my first one I did. My other 3 Pekos the job is a little neater. They still hit like champs though! I do need some schooling for my soldering skills.

I didn't get the Atty from CH I got it from the first company to offer, ecig city. $54 shipped. Great buy I love it. Kind of a pain to build and wick but I'll get it down within a few builds. My only big complaint is anything above 26g will NOT trap down. My 26 g has been holding tight though.

And P, I bought it from place above and it came with the bf pin. Its a small diameter sqounk hole but she works great honestly.

Looks like that lo pro is designed for the cloud chaser in mind. I mostly use 26 now anyway. Used to use a lot of twisted wire, but found it fouls out pretty quickly. I'm thinking about snagging one before they're all gone. I have a bunch of attys, but most, I don't use as they don't suit me. How's the airflow on the Low Pro?

 

[Tagi]

Is there any noticeable difference in the vape between the standard set up and soldering in the wires?

 

[BobC]

Not at all if the original setup is correct

 

[Moxienator]

The idea is to lower the part count ( easier to source parts and less expensive build ) as well as simplifying maintenance. I did not notice a difference in the vape quality.

When I was building my beta either the rod or the nuts or both were out of spec and wouldn't tighten. Grabbed a piece of 10 gauge and modded the pieces so I could solder it in there. Still going strong.

P- the LowPro is a very unique Atty, I will say they dropped the ball for me with not being able to capture anything smaller than 26g... But all in all I've got a great 26g build going and I'm loving it. The airflow is pretty awesome. You can keep it wide open, which I do. And that compares to maybe a derringer wide open, and you can close it down so its like a rm2. It works great. It looks like big gaping airholes but if you look closely at one you'll notice its not like that at all. Its definitely different and very unique. I'm happy and I think you would be too.

Hey and If not you can always sell it on the classies. I'm sure it would be snagged quick. -actually, if you don't like it I'll buy it off you!

Hey Guys and Gals, Quick update on the Peko + shells:
On all three of the shells I got, the ledge that the spring sits on (on the sled) was printed a gnat's whisker too small, causing the spring to slip down into the cavity that the negative connection rides in. I contacted Justin at live wire to ask him if this was a defective print or a result of the design changes. He confirmed that it was a small design change they made in order to give more clearance to the negative contact/switch arm. He is currently in the process of changing it back to spec, as he confirmed that it had unintended consequences. Should be all set in a few days.

That's a bummer Moxi but at least Justin is making it right for you. I want to know if the Peko + is thicker outside diameter than the regular? Example: my 22mm atties sit flush with the Peko body, would my 22mm atties be smaller when sitting on a Peko+?

Get what I'm saying?

I'll get you a measurement asap.

looks like they went from 15/16 to a full 1" in the centre. im going to test fit an atty and post a pic in a bit.

Thank you Moxi!

 

[Moxienator]

ever so slightly bigger, but imho doesnt detract from the "classic peko" look.

it was hard to get it to show up in a picture, but the front portion has a teeny tiny lip to it.

i'm quite interested in a peko. is livewiremods the place to order from?

a few question's..

which 510 connector is it that comes with the "PEKO PLUS 18650 - PRINTED PARTS AND HARDWARE KIT" at livewiremods?

if i order this kit, read the assembly doc, use common sense, can i build this? apart from glue and screwdrivers, what else will i need? i dont have a soldering iron.

are there any other assembly guides besides the one at livewiremods?

1. livewire - yes. they are the only ones.
2. Fat daddy vapes "510 classic" with custom vented screw for a squonking positive pin.
3. yes. its pretty straight forward. i built my first from the original build doc in about 30 minutes. as you progress with the disease, you'll get faster.
4. glue, a quarter (to screw in the 510), and needlenose pliers. they are designed to be fully mechanical. that means no wires. some of us have modified the design to have wires instead, because thats what you do when something's not broke; you fix it
5. to my knowledge, no, there are no other guides. there is a tutorial/picture specific thread on this device though, which may in some small way differ from the one at livewire. do a search for peko on the forum.

Just to clarify, the wire replacement is totally optional and does not enhance connectivity in any way.
I have a number of these with the original assembly that have been working reliable for well over a year now

thanks @Moxienator and @BobC

what is a glue you would recommend to build this with?

 

[drmarble]

Two drops of superglue gel. One for each magnet. That is all you need. The gel is easier to control than the thin liquid.
Good luck.

 

[muzichead]

You also need to SG the nut into the button as well....

 

[plewm]

do the 18650 pekos take a flat top or button top batt?
