    battery experts help!

    Not true, cells aren't 'empty' when you get them, just not fully charged. Maybe you aren't getting good contact, fiddle with the cell.

    Have a quick question.

    There is nothing 'unorthodox' about using an adaptor. The combo you chose should be fine.

    Phoenix RBA, Silica Wick, 32g Kanthal wire, getting hot spots

    Try using something thinner like a needle. FWIW when I use silica I expect to see NO glowing coils when being used, for that I would need to do a dry burn. The ones getting 'red hot' are the problem.

    AC9 center post

    Forget the plating crap. It's not a switch contact that's activated hundreds of times a day, there is no arcing involved. File/sand it flat. It's too bad about your mods' connectors.

    Positive and negative...anyone know which one?

    It doesn't really matter which one you use on simple battery mods. The center pin can be negative if you like. I always routed it the easiest way on my AA box mods, the atty don't care which is which.

    HELP I built my first passthrough and its broken

    Doesn't have to be that extreme. Many I know had old D-Link router PSs laying around (I've collected 3). They are usually 5V@2.4A. That's good for about ~12W vaping which suits many fine.

    HELP I built my first passthrough and its broken

    Standard cartos usually means ~3Ω. Assuming a bit of loss (parasitic) reistance with a 1 amp adapter that comes out to about ~2.9 actual vaping volts @ ~3W. Most folks would want more.

    Calling all Mod Experts

    Well I won one of these, it appears to have a very similar switch. It lights up blue when pushed. The problem is pushing it, the flush button just ain't cutting it. Total fail, I never use it. In the link you posted I'd opt for the 'High Actuator' version they list.

    Well folks new to this should consider the Nivel. The specs are fine and should suit most vapers. Note it's pre-wired and the display is not floating but attached (much easier to set in place). It also needs just one button for everything (Provari style) so placement/positioning of...

    How to make a Micro-Gen... The smallest Genisis atomizer.

    I don't know who made this, but the principles are sound. The main plunger is a sex bolt, which slides through the nylon bushing to make contact. The external spring is also a nice touch as it ensures a solid contact to the body (ground) when pressed. Plus you can say it's a Steampunk...
