Next time you get a semi-stripped screw head, dip the screw driver tip or allen wrench in coarse valve grinding compound, the grit gives lots of extra bite.

I drilled a small 2mm hole on my hana clone boxes for the charge light and it's pretty bright just for a hole. I originally thought about putting a piece of clear plastic for the fiber optic effect but it wasn't needed. Might not need it for the DNA75. I can see the light around the fire button at certain angles and it would be cool to have a ring around it but I don't see it being possible as a DIY solution. Maybe an all clear button that just picks up the ambient light from the led? I do like the led showing me the charging status but that's about it.KTM, looking at that sd mini75 gave me a thought, if you could replace the fire button with smaller diameter one and with a plastic outer ring to fill in the gap, that ring would probably pull the light from the led, like a fiber optic.
You mention drilling a small hole and using a piece of plastic, that's what I did with a Evolv 1amp charger in a hana box. The plastic I used was...... from a CD case cover.I had pieces left over from making board brackets (thank you for the idea), I cut a thin strip from one edge and rounded it with sand paper until it fit.
They seem to have pretty good products. If I didn't have my Silos, I would probably pick one up. I really like the small form factor and simple design.
For many of us, that statement could just as easily be "drip it in eye of newt, give a lot of extra bite" [emoji23] [emoji106]
Most of the contributors of this thread build or modify their mods to suit there specific needs. But what I'd suggest is go on youtube and look for reviews of other vapecige products, I can't remember if they were the ones I'm thinking of - their dna200 was terrible? (at least the vendor I'm remembering again not 100% sure if it was this maker)
The 510 was too short or shallow, the fire button was hot glued in and eventually fell out, the battery was way over spec'd... Again, not sure if it was vapecige or another. But watch a few review on YouTube and you'll get a feel for the type of manufacture they are. Some of these chinese makers put out good quality mods, other throw them together with tape and or glue and lots of prayers. [emoji3] [emoji12]
Cant like that! To me It sounds like, my worst fear with the SQuape clone line. Coating failure
Both my SQuape R clones suffered this fait
I bough the first one from FT & it didn't last long!I was intrigued buy the performance so I wanted another, the consensus was the Hcigar Clone was reliable. I hunted one down & it suffered the same fait soon after
I liked it but not enough to buy an original for 200 $$Mine is going strong, but I put in a coil & thats been it. I haven't messed around too much with the set screws, I'm hoping they don't strip easy like yours did
I had some minor flooding issues, but they have gone with a thicker O ring on the cap
I can't say enough about the way this thing vapes with a single coil!
I'm hoping the coating don't fail on this one, cause I'm impressed with the Performance!
This SQuape X clone is Kicking A@@
I'm still waiting/expecting the bottom to fall out of my X Dream
That coating is the only thing that separates +&-
The clones just don't have the quality to pull that off.
When the Vapecige VTbox200 was initially released it had some major problems, the T plug was on backwards, the 510 was glued in and the 1300 mah lipo was said to be 1800 mah. This was on the first 200 mods, the later releases had the problems addressed with the exception over the over stated battery capacity. I have one from the 2nd run and it's built like a tank. It's very well done but it is way bigger than it needs to be. I would buy from Fasttech before Gearbest as if there was a problem it could solved easier. Fastech has a return center in Florida.
Edit: I bought my SMY SDNA 75 from here, add a couple of batteries or something as it needs a couple more cents to qualify for free shipping more. I'm really liking this mod.

Valve grinding compound is used to seat new valves in engine heads. I rebuild my dirt bike engines so I have some in my toolbox
.I use a rubber tube connected between the valve and a drill so it spins the valve to seat. This video gives you an idea how it's used.
yeah I was looking at the smy but I really hate how it curves out in the back. little details like that bug the .... out of me lol
I just got my $7.88 back from Ebay, I certainly wasn't surprised at the outcome but surely was worth trying.
Me? Not even.................you're squonking again?
I just know we have bottom feeders in our midst.
Varitube just released a new BF Connector designed by Gdeal and DrunkJ

Nice looking 510. But I have a sour taste still In my mouth from my last discussion with Perry so I don't think I'd pick one up.
Discussions don't affect the quality of the product, besides, it's gdeals and drunkj designed, varitube just produced them.

The story behind this connector and how it got started in production is I approached gdeal about seeing if he would work with VT to have them produced and he liked that idea so then I called my good friend Perry and told him about it. He liked the idea so then I got him connected with gdeal and drunkj to work together to get a final product. This connector is probably no doubt the best BF connector on the market.
