...or let it hit the bottom, and put a "V" cut on the end.

Yup, already gave it a V cut to the tube..

So hey, this time (I'm pretty sure I tried once before) I got holes in the cap that look pretty good. From the outside. Shrapnel inside though - a bit of leftover metal protruding IN - I gotta get that cleaned up.
What do you use for that?

it's not so much a fix for whistling....I think that has more to do with the wick. It just makes it dead quiet and a lot smoother. It's a night and day difference.

I might Drill one of mine out to see how it Works.

Or, at least, put it on the Never Ending "To Do" List.

I didn't drill through, just beveled the edges of the slot.

But the excess metal from drilling can usually be cut off. That's all deburring tools do.

Or sand/grind it with a Dremel (or just the bit in a drill)

I used a Dremel but ST is right. Sandpaper, deburring tool, Dremel....Anything will work.

These type of diamond bits work good on SS and get into spots too small for grinding stones.

I hope anyone drilling the NarDA caps post their impressions. To me, it was a pretty drastic change for the better. I think it took a 7 atty to an 11

I did both of mine months ago (Nov?)
Just wanted to knock down the whistle.

It did and no ill effects.

 

[puffon]

I've also opened the cap air holes to match the base holes, and beveled the edges.
More air, no whistle....I like.

 

[Train2]

Done...
It's overall a touch "smoother" on the draw - just a TINY difference, but yes - for the better.
And of course...no more whistle.

Very Cool Button. Did you start with Raw Stock? Or mod something you already had?

BTW - It looks like your rda has Eyes.

LOL

Aha! I thought Mr. Hadaly was looking kinda shifty eyed.

Raw stock, a scrap piece of bocote hardwood. Kinda wish I'd had some ebony left, but the bocote end grain is pretty interesting.

The Grain on it Does Look Nice.

Has anyone found a source for spare bottle caps? The cap that threads onto the top of the bottle and the bottom of the positive pin. I know Fatdaddyvapes has a similar one, but the top tube is externally threaded rather than internally threaded.

It was from Bell Forest too. Thanks for the sale reminder.

Very interesting wood you have there. Kinda looks like teak, but figured. Ha, and bamboo rivets! I love it.

Hey guys,

After using my Coppervape BF for a couple of weeks, I can say I'm officially "squonkified".. i love it.. i love squonking.. bye bye to RTAs.. hye hye to BF RDAs.. I'm glad i chose the Coppervape BF as my first squonk and mech mod.. Easy to maintain and works every time.. for now, I'm using it together with the Narda and build a simple 26G 6wrap 3mm dia. spaced coil and been vapin' it happily daily. Surprised to see that my battery actually last longer compared to using my old requlated mods..


Now, i'm thinking of upgrading/modding my 510connector system.. anybody could point me into the right direction? My idea is using ModMaker 510 or Varitube 510 with soft silicone bottle and tubing. Could it be done? Does the MM / VT 510 fits? Is it plug n play or needed some modification to it?

Thanks.

I just seen someone on Fasttech say the other day that they had put a different 510 in theirs,but they said it took quite a bit of modification to do it.
