+1 on cartomizers

Yeah, 510 cartomizers to be specific, and to be exact, get ahold of Rob at LiquidXpress and get the ones he carries, they ROCK!

Umm, how about some tools, like high end tweesers (VT Vapors has some nice ones in their kit), dental type pics, some sticker/covers for cartos and mod bodies, as seen here, and thread lubricant (see same linked thread).

Just a few off the top of my head.

I'd pretty much gathered you just meant a good design that keeps the wick wet enough so it doesn't burn and doesn't use the cheapest materials with low melting points. Vapornine's new cartomizers are pretty nice... Definitely a step in the right direction. So far, they're the only cartos I've tried, but very nice nonetheless, and construction-wise, noticibly better than a few other dissected carto pics I've seen around here

Hi joeparker,

I'm not sure how it can be done. I tried the turbos from Vapornine. I have so far taken apart two. One burned , one didn't so I think maybe it is going in the right direction but I would (and I think many others) would love to not have to be guessing which ones are burning and which aren't. You don't taste or smell it. It is just there when you tear one apart. I will clarify they were still wet and used only once. I also want to say that so far they do seem much better than the regular KR8's and I still have hope as I will tear apart my other ones but if someone can come up with cartos that don't burn at all, I think they would reap the rewards.

MIC29312BT adjustable voltage regulator. Along with this circuit, it makes an easy variable-voltage mod:

A mod kit that is so simple that an old but crafty woman like myself can put together in an hour or less.. lol

Putting a mod together in an hour or less is difficult in my opinion. Uless the kit came with a prewired atty and the holes already drilled in the box. It takes the epoxy about 20-30 mins to set up solid. It usually takes me about 2-3 hours to complete one and thats if I do one that I am used to doing.

Oh, and heat shrink tubing in various sizes up to 1"

And a "wish list" item probably not up your alley nor high demand:
I'd love some sort of foam to use in carrying cases that is easy to cut! Problem with most stuff I've tried is if it's thick it's hard to cut straight/clean and if it's thin it requires multiple layers!

Mike, that's where magic sculpt can come in handy. Fill your container with magic sculpt, cover with saran wrap, and press your pieces into place. Pull up the saran wrap and clan up the edges. You now have a basic out line that you can tailor to your needs. You can widen, shrink, etc... Once it hardens, get some felt, velvet, etc... From the fabric store and apply to the surface with spray glue. Depending on the thickness of the fabric, it can be fairly soft, or fairly hard. If using a thin fabric, I'll usually tack it to a piece of felt and then glue it to the mold.

Just a thought.

Good idea but.... :rolleyes:

What's the weight of magic scuplt like? I have some different types of epoxy putty and while not heavy, they're noticably heavier than foam. Other benefits of foam is that it can friction hold the items and it can cushion impacts.

I've done some cases with multiple layers of foam and then covered with felt (OK, I used thin foam as I didn't think of felt!) but the problem I ran into was it's not as finished/polished looking as I'd like, too many wrinkles.
I guess what would work would be some sort of stretchy felt. I wonder if there is such a thing? Maybe I should just use velvet as I know that has some stretch/give to it. Oh, thinking as I type, I remember a loooong time ago using some powdered velvet for a wood jewelry box (apply glue and then sprinkle with the velvet "dust" and then, once dry, vacuum up the loose stuff. It worked pretty well and would be great on the putty or any hard surface!)

Don't get me wrong, the harder insert definately has it's place, but I'd like to have the easy ability to do BOTH! :D

If you're worried about weight, you can always dremel out some of the epoxy from the back. The weight is really negligable. They make this stuff for model airplane/RC enthusiasts primarily, so it's really light. There are several products out on the market, you could check which is the lightest.

There are drawbacks to the hard inserts, but felt does a nice job of making up the difference. A thick piece of felt will still allow for a friction fit. Attach your top layer of fabric to the nooks and crannys first, and then smooth it out and attach underneath. This will keep the top appearance smooth. The felt adds a layer of softness, and then you can cover in any fabric that strikes your fancy. Cheetah spotted neoprene, simuleather, purple velvet...

Petercro, did your order get to you okay?

I see a ton of switches like that but never order any.. How would you guys use those?

hoog

Hi Hoog.
The order got to me with no problems.
Oh Yes
Thanks for the extra battery connectors.
And for the bottle of Grandpa's mix
Very strange stuff (loved it).

The 3 Amp sub miniture micro switches are so small and would fit in any mod box.
With a positive click action.
Clyde2801 will be reviewing my mod with one installed.
When it gets to him.
I will make sure he adds a specific paragraph for the switch.
But for now check this out.

Thanks again for the extra's in the order.

Cheers
Petercro
