So,
I haven't seen anything commercially available that does what I am about to show you. So since this is PIF and I really enjoy y'all I will share this instead of marketing it.
The story:
I got this SID a while back. Great little PV and it's my main mod; my daily cloudmaker. I have also learned that these SIDs are amazingly tough. I have a few dings and scratches mostly from tipping it over on my desk.
Again and again. And always, it seems, when I need quiet...CRACK!
So I have been thinking about this for a while. How do I keep it from happening, just what would work.
Yeah I know, " get a mod rack or custom wood stand."
But I already have a pretty full desk, and what about when I am away from my computer? Lanyard for fatty mods.....eh, nahhh.
So I am ditty boppin around in a full service hardware store the other day and my intuition is like sending out radar pulses "Lookie here" it says and WHAM! There it is!
My discovery, this:
It's called a shaft collar (or set screw shaft collar) and it is AWESOME!
Its inner diameter is 1" outer is 1 5/8".
Weighs 3.5 ounces, which is the absolute perfect weight to keep a PV from flopping over. The stability this gives is unbelieveable. Not only will it not fall over on a solid flat top, the God blessed thing will sit solid on many surfaces!
It's not too heavy to vape with while attached to your mod, either.
Lookie here:
My SID before
My SID after...
Side view, here you can see it's very solidly attached:
Bottom View:
So there it is. I am pretty stoked! I think this will work with a variety of PVs with a similar diameter.
I got my collar for under five dollars, but here's a link from Home Depot, and it's under $3 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!

It's truly awesome, it never falls over now. Every time I used to reach across my desk it used to tip over with a "crack" now it's solid.
So, there's something to mess with. Let me know how it works on your mod.
