    I'm thinkin' maybe we should try this again? . . . . and you kids should behave yourselves

    Those are the same products I use. But for mods going on the boat with me on salt water, I use DeoxIT Shield instead of Gold. It seems to make a difference in that environment. I also have DeoxIT Fader that helped bring my old Sansui QR-4500 (half way) back to life. But as can be seen in...

    Nuppin' But it really is Sumpin' with an old 0.7Ω MM coil, fresh wick and a fresh battery.

    Introducing... my bottom feeding mod (MyMod)

    Although Paul hasn't been here much, he did at least notify us of a delay back in post 273. I would still like to see more activity from him here. Progress pics, problems/solutions, new innovations, etc... Even some random banter would be good. Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to paulw2014 and all...

    I'm thinkin' maybe we should try this again? . . . . and you kids should behave yourselves

    Yea, but I dropped mine from counter height onto a padded carpet. Must have landed just right wrong. I think that improved squonk hole is stronger, but I wouldn't place any bets. I'll use the set screw when I get my 2nd dibi. Of course, it may have transmogrified quite a bit by then (somewhere...

    And the purple hearted. I've used my set screw ever since repairing my broken lip. <jinx>I haven't used the penny reinforcement trick yet.</jinx>

    BOTTOM FEEDERS= a place for everything modified and/or custom made

    </lurk> Their Smooth-Sil® 940 is a food grade silicone. Not sure about that 40A hardness, though. I've worked with BJB Enterprises TC-5030 at 30A and I think that would be way too soft unless you make a really thick sack/bottle*. They offer several different hardnesses, but I haven't looked...

    Yea, I go back and look at those now & again. Thanks for the reminder. I like the contrasting woods and the wiring in the mechs. They had SX-350 BFs there, too. Not sure if they discontinued it or what.

    About once a day. It is almost guaranteed to be at the worst time if I don't have a spare. I'm running sub-ohms in my mechs, 1.2-1.8Ω in my regulateds. I don't have to change the regulated batteries that often. But I also don't vape on them as much as the mechs. P.S. One of those regs is a...

    I have both of those* and I rate the Veritas just above the Magma for flavor, and another notch for it leak resistance. I also haven't tried a single coil on it yet, but an awful lot of people love it in single coil mode, too. I'm going to try a single next time I feel like wrapping a coil for...

    I was about to post almost the same reply. I'll add that I am really enjoying a BF Odin on my REO these days. I think they are available in BF from the mfr, but I'd bet he'll modify top-feed Odin if asked.

    I seem to recall seeing that one under development. I do like the two batteries. I also like the Vapor Shark rDNA 40. I think I may stay on the lookout for a bottom fed version. At least, that's where I'm leaning with my homemade ideas.

    I do like the look of that one, and it should be rugged enough for me. But I think I'd rather have the ability to quickly swap a weak battery with a fully charged battery. That's what I keep telling myself! I don't expect to get started on one before January. We'll see if I still have all 10...

    I've been thinking about building my own box with wood. I am almost certain it will look like that* since I haven't played around in a wood shop since the '70s. But . . . I just ordered a ShopSmith Mark 7 for my small space. That'll guarantee I can make perfectly beautiful...

    Since you've posted your success story with the VF, I've been feeling it tugging at me. But, (fortunately?), they seem to be out of stock. Oh, wait! I found a site with lots of them in stock, Vapor Flasks. This one looks good: It looks easy to fill, but I wonder how you replace the...

    Well, I can see how all that might happen while building in the shower. At least clean up was easy, eh?

    The PV Picture Game

    Well, I guess nobody could predict yesterday's weather. How about a radar map from yesterday along with a current Wind Map? OK, that's weird. ECF didn't used to shrink my pictures. I don't mean the thumbnail, but the image you see after clicking on it. Guess I'll use a different method...
