    New Protege Button Idea - Please Steal Me.

    i tried to accomplish make a place for the spring to reside in while the button was pushed: (i highlighted the face that is actually about .015 lower than where the contacts are...) and in the contact disk: that spring isn't really drawn perfectly, it would need the flat ends of...

    A feature from the future

    Normal AA and AAA batteries run @ 1.2-1.5 volts. pairing multiple of them up adds more headaches really fast. The gg Slim is a 3.7v device that uses one battery that is 3.7 volts and 500mah, that is the same size as a AAA battery. the differance is the voltage, and at 500mah it wont last very...

    KR808D-1 to Protege

    why do i see so much debate, one post says greencig, another says V4L, another some other brand.... i'd really like to see a overclockers.com style comparison on all of the cartomizers out there right now... with some kind of automated contraption that could have baseline tests to see how much...

    New Protege Button Idea - Please Steal Me.

    there is a hole in the design that would prohibit the spring from touching the contacts in the main housing where the spring resides... i agree with the insert as rounds and spot facing idea, it was more of what i had in mind... i just didn't draw it that way cause it was a bit more of a pain...

    Which one should I get?

    i'm sorta second guessing my call on ordering the GG Slim before a device that can do 6v... but i'm just waiting for that "future" GG with 5v on the dot.

    New Protege Button Idea - Please Steal Me.

    was my entire idea :-P and actually... some of these parts would be a BRAT to make... here is the finished drawing blown up the best i could get it to look: the TINY tapped hole is a 0-72... wtf i've never even USED one of those in 3 years of machining (then again 6-32's were as far as we'd...

    looking into it more... UPS, FedEx, and DHL, the big ones here do ship to and from there, but the cost is pretty high. if he were shipping on US soil my argument would have had more solidity but seeing how a 1 pound package would be from about 50-100 bucks to ship from there to here. there might...

    Shipping Poll

    in general most of the Ecig websites & dealers use USPS only... have you ever tried to track a package with USPS? it's total BS. UPS and FedEx are both global, with them if your package was @ customs waiting... you'd know... everytime i track something with USPS it's says something like...

    New Protege Button Idea - Please Steal Me.

    I thought this would be a good new thread... to get more input. Out of the other thread here is my idea on a chinese button replacement for the protege. As in swap-out-able part. Casey & Steve, if you guys like it, i'll shoot you the designs. All i'd ask for is one completed... and if you...

    Guess What??

    the brass tips in the drawing are touching the positive end of the battery, and the atty adapter... the housing (shoot me for this-it was getting really late) is supposed to be black... i just didn't change the material in the drawing (to delrin or rubber... i would think since the spring...

    Want a better hit, less nic?

    everclear smells, and to me TASTES like rubbing alcohol. lol i'm a rum drinker... that stuff is killer though... i bought some to try try clean some attys *which i failed at* and it lingered in the attys for a while. it was hardcore to say the least.

    Guess What??

    ok... i stayed up late and messed around with it.... all it needs now is the contact button (which i left out cause i didn't want to cover up the innerds... you can see that the spring is in it's own cavity, no shorting it out on anything or coating it. would be pretty simple to make... 2...

    i'll look into it actually, been dabbling in autodesk inventor lately... if i can ever get off work a reasonable time to design something in more detail, with real world numbers i'll do so... i'll try to make it as super easy to manufacture as possible too. i dont want to step on toes. even...
