    Noisey cricket getting really hot

    A series mech is about the worst possible scenario for a newbie that is unfamiliar with how unregulated mods work and what can go wrong. :facepalm: Edit: If you have to ask what is wrong with it, you have no business vaping it.

    Candy Bar

    Made this last night. Waiting for it to steep. It tastes just like a candy bar when I tried a drop on my tongue; waiting for the flavor to develop so I can vape this. Thanks for sharing! :)

    New vaper in trouble.

    If you are new to vaping, the "factory" build in the DripBox is WAY over the top, IMO. Worse yet, that's the way the replaceable coils are built. Both of the coils that came with my DripBox measured .22 ohm. I feel you need less power, at least initially. Kanger should offer a choice of...

    New sign at Walmart

    Yep, sure did. 1/16" drill bit. :)

    New sign at Walmart

    I don't support Wal-Mart. But if I did, I could discreetly vape in the stupid store without anybody knowing. Try that with a cigarette. ;)

    dripbox

    Excellent. I was wondering if this was doable. I got a #56 drill bit. Back to the shop I go. :) The difference is VERY noticeable. May even feed juice easier than my "gdeal" setups. NICE! :D

    DIY BF 510's other than the FDV one?

    +1000 on the FatDaddyVapes "Classic 510 Inserts" as these are perfect, IMO. Drill out the existing delrin insulator with a #35 bit. Thread with a 6-32 tap. Insert modified 6-32 vented screw. Done. ;)

    dripbox

    When I shortened the barrel, the limiting factor was the posts being very close to the top cap, which is now stainless steel. So I shortened the tops of the posts by .060" as well as the screws. This allowed me to make the barrel yet another .060" lower. I think I have taken off about .250"...

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    Now it is absolutely complete. Battery has a nice snug tension, yet still easy to replace. Button has a nice, firm, quality feel. Hits like nobody's business, and the screw does not interfere with the contact strip. :D If I had more of these mods, clone or authentic, I would do this to all...

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    LOL I got 9 more of those Fancy Italian's that need good homes.

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    :) -The screw interferes with the contact strip, unless it is bent up and over the screw. With that screw in place, the shrink tubing is mandatory as a short could result, as that flimsy factory contact rides right on top of the screw's threads. I will improve on this soon. I was itching to...

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    Here ya go! :) The modifications get rid of both shortcomings regarding current flow. I am comparing this to an identical build Derringer/ SMPL mech w/ identical fully charged Samsungs. Same ramp up time. ;) It is important that the silver button comes down flat and square to the battery's...

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    I'll post my results tomorrow hopefully. Damn, that stock positive contact is junk & the negative spring aint much better. Both need to GO. :evil:

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    I'm getting to that- The flimsy stock strip is just 6mm wide, while the new item is 9.5mm..... gotta go hit the mill and dig out some plastic!

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    The odd part about the Reo is that the fire button hole is not centered above the center of the battery positive. I just noticed that. We need to be sure that the silver contact ends up directly over the center of the battery. ;)

    dripbox

    Keep in mind that whatever method you use to shorten the top cap..... that that ledge inside the tube needs to be completely removed to allow it to slide down all the way and contact the mod body. I suppose the purpose of the ledge is to make this modification difficult. :) I cut down the...

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    Wow, I am going to do the EXACT same thing. :) -I get beryllium/copper contacts with the silver button from an electrical surplus outlet. I have them in all my mech bottom feeders except the Creo. It looks like we will need to open up the area above battery positive to make it work. Should...

    dripbox

    As promised, here is my top cap insert to accept a 510 Derringer drip tip. I made it as low profile as possible. I will shoot some black paint on the visible part and it should look "factory." - IMO, I need to send these images to Kangertech. They really should offer an option like this...

    Will it fit? Reo vs Creo.

    Thanks for the pics, Beckdg! I suppose haters gonna hate, but IMO this "direct" negative post is no more or less "safe" than most tube mechs. I like it; I want to try this with brass hardware. :) I cannot understand the bitter hatred towards the fake Reo; Some people simply cannot afford...

    Just wondering- Do you have a picture of this setup? Me wanna see. :)
