    Got an aluminum hybrid plate today(Bap your the man!) And decided to follow studios lead with bypassing the spring. I already had the brass strips in, so I tinned them and soldered in a piece of high end 20ga that I use for my DNA mods. On a 4.13v Panasonic cgr with a 0.7 ohm coil I got...

    big bore recessed DNA 20 box

    Got the window in turned out perfectly clear with the glass backer. This has been an awesome mod, but I've found that I require a bit more power than the 18650 can provide and the 22mm tank restriction doesn't suit my current atomizer selection, so a fortunate buddy of mine who is...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    All this drip tip info is really cool and looks like its turning out some good results. I think I'm going to try something a little different a little later today, has anybody tried a small air inlet in the cap directly over the coil? The way I'm envisioning it is that it might affect the path...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    Is there a trick to wrapping coils on rope wick with ribbon? I tried with .5 ribbon but it was too "springy" and left gaps off of the wick. I've got it mastered on ceramics, and its a great vape. I found that with a welder it was easier to wrap the res wire on the wick then weld it, but that...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    So I finally broke down and picked up a Term-c V1, I'm a genesis user but I'm going on a road trip in a few weeks and needed something more travel friendly. This thing is fitting the bill so far! Wrapped and welded a 28ga 0.7ohm coil w/32ga nickel legs around 2/2.5mm wicks (1clipped at the...

    I think the IBTank 19mm looks rather awesome, and you can get a variety of colored o-rings too

    I might have to get a couple too. Is this all SS or is it just the cap?

    this is my test run on improving the switch. I used some 1/2"x6"x0.016" brass strips from lowes and rough cut them to shape. Coarse cut and hammered in the piece between the delrin and lock ring to ensure good connection to the body and the other plate is secured on the threaded post to the SS...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    So I got tired of the resistance on the switch and decided to torch it. I wouldn't recommend trying it until you have a backup in case it gets destroyed. I compressed it to 15/32" and it works great, the magnets attraction to the battery actually helps smooth the action. The length I have it at...

    I am going to get a piece of copper sheet from HD and make a ring to fit on the delrin and another to fit the opposite side of the spring, also gonna look for a hot spring. That way its just brass to copper to body

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    The 19 is looking like a really nice device now that I have it in my hands. Tomorrow I'm gonna replace the NR mod with a copper plate, replace the spring, tap the bottom plate for a brass screw and close the 510 gap. I'd definitely rather buy two of these, two rssts and enough mesh and wire...

    Gdeal a 0.18v drop is great man I think you got the golden mod! I made a few changes to mine(not done yet, ran out of steam) but am getting a 0.5vdrop on a 0.6ohm coil with a 4.0v charge, just out of curiosity what is your target vdrop?

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Got mine today and from what I can tell its the same thing, no changes. Took me all of 20 minutes to get into good shape. Removed top magnet, ground down top delrin so I could use original pin. added an oring to adjust throw and used a thin uncoiled spring instead of NR wire. Gonna get some...

    Switching back to non metalic wicks.

    This is pretty interesting, I've tried silica in an ~2ohm aga-t but couldnt get it to work. I'm a sub ohm vaper that uses 60mm-80mm #500 wicks with 28ga, and the new "mystery" white wick with a-1ribbon kanthal. One thing I've found with mesh is that if the coil shorts on first wrap then re wrap...

    Yeah I read up on it yesterday and any Cu alloy has to get nickel plated first to prevent rhodium base solution contamination. Think its going to be priced too high, the jewelry my wife gets plated is Pt and Au so its pretty straight forward. Oh well, just have to clean a bit more often.
