    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    Not necessarily, did they over-discharge and what chemistry are they? When it happens to me, I recharge them in a lipo-safe bag, haven't had one vent yet, although I've had a few protected Li-ions die completely in the past. If you recharge them, do it first in a place where a venting won't burn...

    Show Us Your PV/APV! Girly, Manly does it really make a Difference?

    Well, I guess the Natural guys are purists, because I got no love for the torch job I did last night. Here's my natural after a half hour of propane, I also stripped the lock-ring plating and acid etched the button.

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    How are you swapping tanks, do you just screw them on and go, or do you take the natural top cap off to adjust the positive pin? If it's the former, you're doing it blind and if the pin is adjusted too high it could push the tank's pin up and cause a short. You should remove top cap, loosen...

    GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 1

    Perseas, very nice work on the PAPS 2.1, this is a solid little mod right out of the box, I'm impressed! Shorter than anything I've held and hits like Mike Tyson. I'm having fun perfecting a single flick on the lock ring, that thing is FAST (click.. :vapor: ..click). Great work, sir, fastest...

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    Late night out in the garage. Torched purple to yellow fade on the tubes, stripped off the lock nut plating, acid etched button. :vapor:

    Is using "a Kick" really necessary for mechanical mods

    I wasn't referring to you D4rk, I already contributed a few times. What surprises me is that every day someone gets mad and defensive. They're just ecigs people, no one is telling you what you need to do! I took a hiatus for a while, and return to see adults arguing about (debating?) ecigs. I...

    Is using "a Kick" really necessary for mechanical mods

    It's unbelievable what a freakin contest this has all become. Some of you need fresh air and a new hobby.

    Syringes with the ML measurments molded into the body?

    I don't know, but the best cover I've found is 3M clear box tape. Edit: it's Scotch clear packaging tape.

    My recycled RBA stand

    My wife wonders why I hold on to weird, old stuff. Finally have a use for this old CPU besides holding letters. :p Anybody else have strange things you've recycled into PV accessories?

    Ban Vendors who sell Obvious Knock-Offs, i.e. Hybrids

    Pretty ironic when someone uses a rip-off to rant about rip-offs, isn't it?

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    Yeah, someone suggested a plastic washer, I think. I've been keeping my eye out for an o-ring but haven't found one small enough.

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    The negative post has screwdriver slots on both ends because it is two rods threaded together. They did that so they could use a washer to keep the post secured in the mod. It's definitely one of it's weak points, the terminals should be as minimal and conductive as possible. Two chrome plated...

    RBAs and Nicotine Level Reduction

    ^ Funny you mention throat hit, today I was thinking of how RBAs seem to be changing our whole approach to TH. We used to increase nicotine for it, now we can just move the air hole, since it appears RBA TH has little to do with nic level and more to do with coil heat.

    tight chest feeling

    I have a feeling it takes time for the lungs to filter out glycerine. Seems like the dense vapor from kanthal coils makes my chest heavy, and if I chain it seems worse. When my wife tries my APVs, she always complains that it packs to much vapor into her chest, like a compressed feeling. It...

    FilthyRich here

    Not likely. They've been around for a while and are able to pull in astronomical amounts of money as they are. Now that they're owned by a legit tobacco company, I doubt there is any interest in improving what already works for them.

    FilthyRich here

    They bought blu because it seems to have a magically alluring quality to newcomers, and they're willing to spend half their paycheck on it without any research, whatsoever. Maybe it's the little blue light on the end. :confused:

    FilthyRich here

    You're filthy rich, so just buy the others ones, too. And a Chi You, and an LE iHy while you're at it. :)

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    ^ Sure thing. Good idea with the NR wire.
