    Mech mods with recessed switch

    I have a colonial mod (from the second batch I think) that I have used about 5 days total but no longer use it since it does not fire reliably. You have to push the button a few times since sometimes it will barely engage and sometimes not at all. Not a good experience with my first-ever...

    The Orchid clone has arrived!!!

    Another new development in Orchids. Fasttech now has a clone, although it is the V1, for about $14. They are stated to be stainless steel (and PMMA), so I assume they are not brass coated crap like the other clones, and hopefully the screws actually cinch down (if not, I will send it back, no...

    XXIX infinite clone

    Since I don't see any other recent threads for the XXIX, I will post here. I got a copper one with a copper tobh atty and love it, especially the small size - it looks tiny next to any other mod. I wish the spring was a little beefier, but have had no problems with misfiring. I got the tobh...

    The Orchid clone has arrived!!!

    I see that V2 clones are now being sold on ebay for between $20 and $60. They have a bottom fill hole. One listing says the difference in quality between the v1 and v2 is "noticeable." Hopefully this means that it is better. I will wait until someone verifies that it is stainless steel instead...

    First Time DIYer

    Yes, yes, yes to all this, especially the part about saving a lot of money. I don't have good luck with any of the major flavoring companies like Loranns but everything I have gotten from Vaping Zone has been excellent, granted I have only purchased the super concentrates with good reviews. And...

    The Orchid clone has arrived!!!

    I ordered the top cap from FT so will let you know how it works for sure when I get it. If you look at the pictures, though, it has the piece with the rubber grommets plus a lid which has two holes through the metal that appears to screw on top of this piece. It looks like you unscrew the top...

    The Orchid clone has arrived!!!

    The screws in this thing are really terrible. When I press the hex wrench into two of them enough to turn, first, they start to spin out before they are tight and then the wrench gets stuck and you cannot just pull it straight up since the screws are so loose in the posts they come up too. This...

    The Orchid clone has arrived!!!

    I put a little more cotton in the channels and it only leaked a couple of drops when I filled. I also replaced the tank and top cap with cheap plastic nano kit ones and the threads on the cheap tank and top cap are so much better than on the orchid clone so it is less of a hassle. I still...

    The Orchid clone has arrived!!!

    I looked at the Kayfun replacement topcap on Fasttech and notice it has the two holes for filling, but don't see what closes them. Are there screws, or is it valved? I got the orchid clone today and my main problem is it leaks after filling. Once I get it vaping it no longer does. I topfill my...

    Warning on dual 18650 mods sold on eBay

    I have been looking at dual 18650 box mods on eBay that appear to be homemade or custom manufactured. Some I have seen look really nice since they are carved from wood and have magnets on a slide panel to access the batteries. Others are made in project boxes where you have to unscrew the four...

    Best rebuildable atomizer for my bottom feed Reo Grand?

    Since it's been a few months now, is the RM2 still the best bottom feed RBA for the Reo?

    How to adjust threads with Grand and RM2

    I went to Home Depot and got an o-ring assortment for about 2.50. They were quite a bit thicker than the one it came with, and one positioned my atty perfectly. thanks for everyone's help!

    How to adjust threads with Grand and RM2

    An o-ring came with it and I installed it. Is its only function to adjust the height of the threads? I tried it with and without and could not get it where II want it, so I will get some various thickness o-rings to get it right, Can you get them at Home Depot?

    How to adjust threads with Grand and RM2

    I just got a Grand and love it. I drilled out the RM2 a bit. In one video, it says to have the air hole pointing up so juice does not leak. Mine is pointing down. I cannot unscrew the 510 connector (a dime would not work and I don't have a screwdriver big enough). I can unscrew the center pin...

    Deals N Specials Thread

    It's still on sale as of today. I just ordered a bottle along with eight 125ml empty bottles (0.79 each) to dispense and freeze. Fantastic deal considering this will probably last me about 7 years. Hopefully it will stay good for that long in the freezer.

    Boycott mods and attys with painted threads! Please post specific painted products that don't have them.

    Thanks for the suggestions about the over cleaner. I will pick up some up next time I am at the store. I still have some threads to strip, including a painted atomizer socket I could not get with the dremel.

    Boycott mods and attys with painted threads! Please post specific painted products that don't have them.

    I have never seen a silver one that's painted. They don't need to paint them since the metal is already silver, although I supposed it could be chrome coated, but chrome is a conductor so that would not matter. What the Note section meant is it is my observation that the mods with top and bottom...

    Boycott mods and attys with painted threads! Please post specific painted products that don't have them.

    You talked me into it. I just ordered one, in black. Might have to paint the shell of the RM2 I got with it to go total black.

    Boycott mods and attys with painted threads! Please post specific painted products that don't have them.

    I like black mods and atomizers. A problem with this is that the threads are often painted. Since the ground return for the mod or atomizer is through the threads, and paint is an insulator, one or more of three bad things are often a result. The first is you get shocked or burned at the...

    Premiering the NEW SMOK RSBT Hybrid - Pyrex Tank & Mouthpiece with ALL Stainless - Super Value

    I have one of these and like it, especially the air flow, but I sometimes have a problem with it not keeping up with a low-ish (0.8) ohm build and getting burned hits. I was going to try a rayon wick today, but I broke the tank. I cannot find a replacement tank anywhere for sale. Please let me...
