    SXmini mod ... Yihi

    i had a similar problem trying to reduce the gap with a magma. the pin has not been unscrewed, but the upper phenolic gasket broke, and it went out, together with the spring. now, i'm not able to re-insert the spring together with a new similar gasket (if i find any, could try to craft a new one...

    wow. thanks for the heads up. i'm surfing through the sxmini thread, but i've not reached that post yet. do you know if i can take the top cap only a bit, carefully, just enough to be able to insert the spring and a new gasket, without breaking the soldering? hope i won't need the acid flux...

    thank you, dravell! when i take the top apart, will check if any soldering is needed (my brother will also bring a decent solder tomorrow), but i guess it isn't. the pin remains in its place (but wobbly because removed the wrapping gasket and spring), so i guess it isn't broken. i think i only...

    yes, it seems old school spring loaded 510, so i guess it won't be difficult to fix up. i do have to take the top apart (but only the top), to look further the 510, and to insert the spring again, together with a new gasket (above the compressed spring), both wrapping the 510 pin (which has not...

    the 510 pin of my sxmini is broken.. sigh.. remember: don't touch (even look at, lol) the screw. time to dyi, gonna try to see if i can fix it.. well, the pin isn't broken. it's the gasket/insulator, which is pushed by the spring. curios way to make the pin floating: the gasket is pushed by the...

    thank you both very much! this community is amazing; people are usually alert and willing to share and help. i feel thankful and proud of belonging to it. i was ready to order a high temperature (260ºC) resistant teflon tape. if the tape wraps the body of the screw, and its inserted into the...

    received.. late. ouch, ouch, i took the screwdriver.. if i see a slotted head i assume it's to be adjusted. i read the provided sxmini instructions, and didn't find any info nor warning about the 510. but good news: i did it carefully, and fortunately it isn't broken. so will never try to adjust...

    :thumb: ty! i think it's totally necessary to avoid flooding, and desired to achieve better wicking (better 4 fonts than 2 =)). will imitate that angle-cut and points into the channels. and will do it also for the aqua 2, when it arrives =))) hey, Nicole, if i can help any way, just hollar...

    thanks for the tip! sorry, i was wrong. battery voltage is 3.7V and still firing ok. i think that the main problem is its 2.5A (or even lower) cutoff (instead of nominal maximum current of 3.0-3.5A). this limits the combinations of resistance and power/voltage very much. you could only reach...

    i'm playing with the magma (made the first setup, single coil, leaving one strip of cotton over the deck near the air hole, and then behind up the coil); no leaking, very good flavor, enough vapor, superb liquid capacity. have to rebuild my other drippers as well, but also the orchid v4 from fc...

    i'm also sold to aqua v2, you all convinced me. ordered the otm one, because the tobecco isn't available in china warehouse. sometime ago someone claimed for more attys, because of the massive mech mod offer. now, due to the price of the regulated mods, and to the new attys offer, we use to buy...

    i inserted an adhesive tape between the magnet and its surrounding delrin, to avoid it screws itself. now it's tight enough. i got a short tube version, so it autofires with large batteries (this has not solution), but works ok with medium-short ones. if you have a long tube version, you can...

    hi all, dropping by to salute.. hope you all are doing it great =)) here, still waiting for my dream regulated mod; none of the actual ones convinces me, am afraid of becoming too exigent.. received a magma, and the amods erl (it looks awesome, but didn't build it it nor the magma yet). waiting...
