Take the time, go to YouTube, look up phee303 and he has two great vid's on how to modify a 510 atty. I did it and can't believe what a difference. I removed the wick, bridge and coil like in one of the vid's. It's a dripping machine. I even did this to one atty I thought was ready for burial, now it's back to life.
Thanks for the link. Can't wait to try it. For some reason I have a hard time parting with my atty's - even if they're dead.
