    BOTTOM FEEDERS= a place for everything modified and/or custom made

    If you are using a DP, look around for one of the bigger step bits that'll go to 7/8" which would be a lot safer to use than an end mill. An end mill has no means of "piloting" the bore. Boring a 7/8" hole on a mill needs to be done in stages (because it won't drill out the center) and...

    That looks awesome Joe, looks like it was dug out of a Viking burial mound, burn a couple runes into it and aside from cleaning up the splinter factor, I'd leave it exactly as it is.

    Well said, I have unfortunately collected a "dummy" of every DNA product except for the 200... Though it should be said that DNA has some decent data sheets detailing the physical measurements and layout...it is interesting how they hold on to the Standard/Imperial measuring system for a...

    Unfortunately there really aren't any one size fits all solutions when it comes to glues, though I guess if I had to pick one "desert island" glue, I'd go with JB Weld clear. It'll stick almost anything together once cured. As far as solder goes, lead free rosin core will cover almost every...

    That look awesome Gen...before you struggle too much, without knowing exactly what resin type it is, you may not be able to get a deep luster. Phenolic resins, Corian, some polycarbs for example can only get so shiny (and can't be flame polished)...one thing you could try is one of those...

    Now that I see the pic, make's perfect sense...nice planning ...last question (promise)...your neg batt tab, did you slip a piece of spring under it?...I did something similar with a piece of trillium copper and of course, once I put the heat to it to solder I forgot to quench and I lost the...

    Nice Studio, can you take a pic with the batt out of the way...I'm trying to see how you did your switch. Also, I'm assuming you're completing the neg side by snagging one of top deck your anchor screws? (another good idea btw) There's a LOT of great ideas there I'll be ripping off ;)...but I...

    I asked the same thing a while ago and was put on to this by CC http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?sku=57288 I ended getting the same size/type off Amazon but it's on Ebay (everywhere really) It will go on a #6-32 and seals fine

    Is it a sprung, floating center pin in those? or is it pressed/threaded in b.m.?...it's hard to tell from the pic and it's not mentioned (at least I can't see it)

    Interesting, wonder what he's going to use as a 510? Mold threaded ceramics? that could go badly, super rigid, no conformity... I wish I would've noticed these before (or are they a new add?) http://fatdaddyvapes.com/eBay/Photos/V4BFSwatch.jpg Now those may be a good 510...

    You said it...I'm running a V3 and a V4 in both of my Pdib clones where the Vmod 10's "just" slide into a 3/4" hole (they're a touch thicker than the Reo 6's)...those bottles don't move (in fact I have to use needle nose to get them out)...no issues...but in my Grand conversions where the stress...

    I'm inclined to agree, the Classic is a rock solid connection (by virtue of it's threaded/manual height adjustment) but I've noticed, and this may be just my luck of the draw, if you try to use an RDA with a shortish 510, the thick deck on the Classic and then that bevel before the threads start...

    Good knowledge Studio, you pretty much nailed it on the CA's...btw, if you're new to building or just looking to try something different...not all CA's are created equal, my dad introduced me to these guys http://www.caglue.com/ they can be hard to find (you need a good hobby shop, industrial...

    Well Dennis from FD got back to me, sounds like he's putting my V5 issues right and he'll send out replacements.

    Hmm...that's a pretty clever idea River, have to say I didn't really look at the squonk detail too closely (more looking at that wood and square switch) Plus by hinging the two pieces it doesn't even need to be attached to anything...once you drop the bottle in the pincer mechanism will just...

    Thanks River, ya, his site doesn't mention anything...I guess his non-FB using customers mean s#@t, ah well, he has to satisfy the customers who can make the most noise I sent him a note on his contact me page...see where it goes end of the day I'd rather eat the $15 than become Zuckerburg's...

    Awesome work as usual River... FD stated "return defective V5's back to him" on his FB page?

    That goes without saying, hence rational #2 (a week later)..."sweetie, my mini lathe without tooling isn't much use...to NOT buy tooling is simply throwing money away!...and I know how you hate that" ...ya see, the beauty of the staggered attack is you use her own logic against her...it's a...

    Agreed, even though I have a 7 x .5 tap the FD bodies (minus the core) do come in handy for my hybrids if I'm making a non conductive mod or have minimal deck thickness that won't take a thread...and I will say the solid 22mm decked V5 body is nice (the embedded o ring in the deck is a nice add)...
