I didn't bother even using the guts that came with my SKU 2760500. I kept them for emergencies as a back-up to the other 9 back-up sets of guts that I got.
I received it, broke it all down and proceeded to clean and paint. From wherever you get it, it is really nice in that it is easy to completely break it down. After the paint, I just assembled it and had the tires aligned. I thought it was a wet cinder block, but someone said granite. Anyway, it was nice and rough so I could grab it easily. I did put two clear coat layers on it for protection and that took about 1/3 of the roughness away. I am happy.
It and my "original" plus 6 toppers are a part of my vape-apocalypse survival kit. As someone said, a CREO.

Looks good.That would have been really helpful of me ey - oops.
Have some pics instead...
Regarding replacing just the pin in the 510.
How is the old one removed.
Is it screwed in or just a press fit.?
Thanks!
You didn't have to mod the hole for the button? I replaced my button with an authentic so i could use the metal cap,but i had to make the hole just a little bigger.
That looks great.What method did you use to paint it?The paint was chipping on mine,so i scuffed it and repainted,but the new paint started chipping back off in less than a week.I've heard aluminum is harder to get paint to stick to.
Nope, the genuine button slid in perfectly. I was surprised from what I had read.
Maybe they updated the newer ones coming out,i got mine right after they were released.It's good to know though,i plan to get 1 more,and having to do less work is nice haha.
Just to note, this mod cost me a total of $77 including shipping to me here in the UK. If I wanted the genuine Reo version of exactly what I have (which would be exactly what I have but with a different alloy case and delrin piece) I'd have to pay $195 plus good old customs charges. I am not saying that the genuine is not worth the money, but I could not justify paying over $118 more for nigh on the same performing mod.
That was my exact same thought.I swapped out the contact,spring,and button on mine and am still at less than $60 in it.Really the only reason i even swapped the spring was because i collapsed the original one,otherwise i would not of even changed it,and only reason for the button swap was because i wanted to put the aluminum button cover on it haha.
Actually, in the last few months there have been several "authentic" grands that have sold for $100 or less in the classies. Both from here in the US and abroad...
Sand it with a low grit. Make it rough. Also, the sealant probably helps to hold paint together. I can tell that my hand will rub certain spots quicker. Just where I hold it.
This is true. But unless they come with an aluminium button and heavy duty contact, I'd be adding $35 to that price, and it would be used. That's still a lot more just so I can claim it's genuine.
I've seen some come with buttons, firing pins, springs, bottles, atty's, rebuild kits, and other various items... It would depend on the ad as they pop up. I have seen some listed with extra items and sold for unimaginable prices. You would have to become verified to look in the classies to even see them though.
I like it with a really low build or high watts, but on this it sucks if I am honest. Need another rda really.
That's exactly what i was thinking.Some people love the velocity on a mech,but in my opinion you just can't put enough power to it with a mech to get a good vape from it.
