    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    I don't have any answers for the items your seeking, I just wanted to tell you I agree with the coolness of this set up, I've got the same thing in daily use. The MKB and the Hercules seem made for each other, perfect match and the Hercules CRANKS!

    perhaps, perhaps.. now that you mention it, I believe it was nichrome.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Yes, I've got an ohm meter, actually I have 2, the 2nd one I got free at Harbor Freight. I've been using my SVD to check ohms. It can be a problem at times because I have to switch the bases which puts wear and tear on the silica etc. I'll use the ohm meter. Thanks for the info. Actually I ran...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Well I've searched to no avail, and now it's time to check with the experts. I'm having a problem with my Natilus. The coil is not working, and the only reason I can find is....I'm using 30g resistance kanthal, and 32g non-reisistance kanthal. So this brings me to something I've been wondering...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    I wonder if that's a Tobeco or Hcigar? or what? When I asked who made the Ithaka clone they told me "Sorry our supplier won't tell us for they are afraid we will get this from the manufacturer". Hmmm.

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    No, no pics, unfortunately, and I have them all done so I won't be doing it again for a while. All I know is the shim worked on my MKB-TS's, so I did it to the Sigelei's and had the same results. There are pics on the MKB-TS the GGTS clone thread, but it's a big thread and I don't know exactly...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Yea that botton was on fire with sum-ohm coils. I'll take a look at Sigelei Parts, thanks for the heads up. What I've been doing is something I learned from the MKB-TS thread. I got some brass sheeting, small thin pieces, and I use a little piece to line the inside of the button housing. It...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Gotta jump off topic for a quick minute, I've been working with my #13, which I got a few weeks ago; it has the same top and bottom pieces at my #8, so I was really glad to dodge the previous #13 problems. The main issue I had with it was major button heat. I found a thread about modding an 8...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    I recently bought all three, the 8,13 and 19. The 8 was the most solid out of the box, with the 13 a close second. The only problem I have with the 13 is heat on the button. The 13 has the same set up the 8 does, except it's telescopic; I actually like it best because it's telescopic, I just...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    I totally agree! I don't have a steath cap, and I haven't bought one for that reason, 510 connection not preferred. The good news is i got my FT Clone connector threaded onto my MKB-TS this morning! I just gave it a good wiggle and wobble and it got past the stuck point, now it threads on and...

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    I was amazed when mine appeared today too!! I think it was 3 days total. Nice.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    That's what i thought, thanks Techno. i thought I'd try working with the FT clone's threads a little, if I see anything out of the ordinary. Thanks for helping me clarify.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Yes, this is what will not screw down all the way. Thanks for the vid.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    I guess I worded it unclearly. I only mentioned the 510 base to identify the threading I was using..I hope that makes sense. No it does not screw all the way down into the MKB-TS's colletor tank.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    No, I was talking about the base on the Ithaka clone, which the 510 connector and airflow control are on. I'll be working with the threads today, it sounds like a fixable problem.

    MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

    Well I just got the Fast Tech Ithaka clone (short topic diversion) and I've got it set up on my MKB-TS, first issue being that the base only threads on about half way, but it snugs up and the airflow control cover snugs up to it when open all the way, which is how I like it anyway. I think I...

    Has anyone ordered from exhale vapors

    I got my order from Exhale Vapors after I threatened to go to the Better Business Bureau. It took almost a month ( and the threat) and they sent the mod and some juice that I cn't use because the nic is too high.

    Where to buy a Sigelei Zmax v5

    Exhale Vapors finally came through. I got my sig #13 and it works better than I'd hoped, it's built like the 8, but telescopic. My problem was my order got screwed up. The original order was pretty fast delivery.

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Sorry to go off topic, but I wanted to mention the new #13 I just got. It's set up just like an 8, same top and switch set up. On my 8 I removed the spring and I loosen the brass post to tighten it up so the battery fits snug. On my 13 all I had to do was remove the spring because it's...
