    Stainless steel coils

    Now, I am enticed. I only use mechs. If the resistance starts low and goes up as it heats up, this should help the ramp up time, right? and if 28 gauge SS is approx. the same resistance as 25 guage kanthal, this should help in ramp up time too, correct? If so, I gotta get some SS wire and...

    dripbox

    Chinese QC is the problem. It has a badly assembled 510 in the atty- hole is way off center, making juice almost impossible to fill & drain. I told him to return it for an exchange! Edit: He fixed it! There was so much restriction trying to push juice through the misaligned 510 that it was...

    dripbox

    With a full bottle, you can feed juice with it pulled down. He can see it leak up where the tube goes into the mod, below the 510.

    I talked a buddy into buying a Dripbox, and his is leaking from up where the stainless tube goes into the mod. Anybody heard of this and a fix? Google search shows zero results.....

    Coppervape BF Mod

    I am speaking of the 510 positive pin- that the juice flows through. CV supplies a plastic washer, presumably to adjust the 510 higher if needed. I found that to be much too thick; I made a very thin washer out of brass shim stock that goes between the positive pin and the plastic...

    Coppervape BF Mod

    The supplied "adjustment shim" is thicker than it needs to be IMO; I made one out of very thin shim stock to correctly clock the atty air holes to my liking. Additionally, I figured you could just replace the entire 510 for an adjustable FDV item, but it's not that simple. -These 510 threads...

    Coppervape BF Mod

    I picked up a 3-pack of 3M Scotch-Brite 37448 yesterday. Excellent product. :) -Perfect for a final buff; it has slightly less sheen than 1500 paper IMO. Great for keeping mods {with minor scuffs & scratches from use} looking great. The "depth" of these pads makes them easy to use compared...

    Coppervape BF Mod

    The key to making it fire perfectly, in my experience, is to make sure that the contact screw touches the battery positive FLAT when pressed. Both of my CV's always fire perfectly and consistently this way. My mods with fancy silver contacts will fire inconsistent as well if not adjusted...

    Coppervape BF Mod

    I polished my brass CV with wet 1500 3M paper. There is some kind of thin coat over the brass; It looks prettier underneath. This also removes the logo and the on/off lettering by the fire button. Looks VERY nice now. What a great mod this is!

    Amazing how much quicker shipping is from China when you pay for it, isn't it? :)

    Reo clone query

    My complaints regarding the fake Reo are a somewhat crappy paint job {I sandblasted mine and polished it} and the battery contacts are somewhat marginal for sub-ohming, so I gave mine a huge upgrade in that regard. Oh, and it is not available in LP {I machined the catch cup down 3mm with a...

    Coppervape BF Mod

    Mr. Buffalo, I have tried a .3 build on both of my Coppervapes- no problems, whatsoever. I actually vape my version of your Boba's Bounty clone from a CV. Still loving it!!!

    Coppervape BF Mod

    I would say that ANY mod with a form factor such as this was heavily inspired by Pdib's first prototype that was unveiled in early 2014. This changed everything, in my opinion. Anything after this (with rounded sides, two hole design & similar magnet location) is pretty much cloning Pdib's design.

    Coppervape BF Mod

    This mod is a 100% original design. Anybody that says otherwise obviously does not own one & has no idea what they are talking about. {For instance, the battery goes in from the bottom, so it's held in securely- not dropped in from the top} For the money, it is the best mech bottom feeder...

    EXACTLY. Spewing smug will only get you somewhere in the Reo Lounge, LOL. :rolleyes:

    Reo clone query

    Which is precisely the reason why buying a clone does not hurt Reo Mods. If you don't have the money for it, you will never buy one. Besides, virtually everything in the vaping world has been cloned/copied. Why WOULDN'T the Reo be copied eventually? :p

    Reo clone query

    -Rant on. Many people will never spend more than $25 on a mod because it is just not in the budget. So it is one of two choices: Either buy clones or smoke cigarettes. I wonder; would the "authentic faithful" rather see these "peasants" just smoke cigs??? -Rant off.... :grr: {I make my...
