with the dna40 failure rates lately I'm not so sure I would want one of those right now...

......Says the guy with one sitting on his work bench waiting for a mod to be built[emoji47]

I general I agree though USA made is the best way to go all around.

Don't get me wrong...I just had this conversation on another forum. I said I was done with even Evolv chips and All screen mods. I don't have a dna 40, but I do have two dna 30, less than a year old and both hardly used...and both dna 30 are having issues. I have had to send these back to modder and pay to have them fixed. I paid $225 and $250 for two screen mods that's not even 8 months old. So it's not just the DNA 40. I personally am done with screen mods.

I found my nirvana vape with the REOs...simple and has no electronics to fail. I'm in control with my builds. I hate screens flashing at me, when I don't set watts to its determined setting. I want to vape to taste...not watts and flashing screens.

Lately, I have researched getting a HexOhm V2 because it's basiclly a kicked mech, made about 10 miles from my house and has rave reviews as a daily driver. I have a ProVari and lots of tube mech, but have grown to love box mods. I want something reliable that I can screw a RoseV2 or Kayfun on and vape it without issues. There are times I vape a couple of juices that I only like an hour and don't want to dedicate a bottomfeeder to that flavor. This is my reason wanting the HexOhm.

Yeah I'm with u guys. I really don't have much interest in regulated mods for my own use. I just feel they are a necessary evil for beginners who done want to learn all the needed knowledge to vape safely and happily on mechs. Therefore I am excited to see regulated squonkers mass produced. I think it will lead many to reoville once they dip their toes in the squonking water. I don't see it as a replacement for reos but a disposable device to lead them home[emoji1]

Momma, I just bought my wife a Ruger LCR 357 mag for a CCW. Ruger makes the same revolver in four sizes, .22LR, 9mm luger, .38 special, and 357 mag. The only reason she chose 357 over 9mm, is because she has the option to shoot .38 spec +p/regular .38 special rounds thru it along with 357 mag, so she has more options for ammo. She shot 1...."1" 357 mag thru it, decided she wasn't ready for it, plus it hurt her hand after it fired and then chose to shoot only .38 spec rounds the rest of the time. I shot off the other 149 rounds of 357 ammo, it was awesome, that little gun is so loud and the percussion from the 357 when it fires is ridiculous. Another thing about the 9mm (which wasn't really a deal breaker) is that because the 9mm is a rimless cartridge it needs moon clips for loading into the chamber. Plus with the 357, so much more killing power over the 9mm and .38 special. The Ruger LCR has a better trigger than the lady smith and airweights. It's a frictionless trigger and is smooth pull all the way thru, it is hammerless also, all black, and is a j frame model also. You have the option to change the front sight out, you can install a full size grip which is what I'm gonna do with her revolver. If I were you, I'd look into the .22 model Ruger LCR.

Nice! Yes, my Ladysmith does have alot of recoil with the lighter body style. I have another .38 that has much less recoil to it that is easier on the hands [emoji6] If I can get back to shooting, that .22 LR Ruger sounds like it would be a sweet little target piece [emoji1]

All of my handguns have had the triggers lightened down as far as my gunsmith will legally go. Makes a huge difference.

The Chinese are getting into the bottom feeder market and the geyscano mod is the first regulated mod to hit the market. It is supposedly 50W with 13 ml bottle. Doesn't look too bad.

Terrible name though[emoji47]

I'm waiting to see them available and would like to try one out. Depending on price of course. Have you found the in stock anywhere?

whoa! very nice!... I know I am late to this party, but where is "the list"? (I gotta get out more...:D)
No list[emoji6] I am torture testing yet. I am not entirely happy yet with my choice of mounting the threaded section in the button. I am on the hunt for another hardware option. Right now I moved up to 6-32 hardware and have a round threaded piece in the button. I'm afraid it may spin. I may go back to the original m3 hardware and embed a t-nut.

No need to make it complicated. I can do a fix for you. I'll get a few of these "plugs" printed up and sent to you. Basically, its just the same button like you have. But you use a printed plastic insert with the hex. All you need to do is take your button, make a 10 mm hole, 6.5 mm deep and then glue the plug in. Bam... your hex nut gets perfect alignment.

Pm me an addy if you want some and I will order some up for you.

Here is a render of the Peko Button, then the Peko button with the new recess and then there's the plug...easy peasy. :)

George, you are the bomb diggity!! I threw a few ideas at Ross for the Peko button but you just knocked it out of the park!

And Ross, if you have been using this button for days now I'm sure it's good enough for all of us Peko junkies! Come on, give us our Rossbuttons!

Will get with you on some measurements tomorrow. I need a little more head space for some deeper embedments I have planned. Refer to pics of my steampunk reo buttons. And I am trying not to increase button height.

Yes the button working good so far[emoji6] good feel but...a bit slick with the polished CA finish making adjustment a hair tougher than with stock button.

Didn't get my buttons before I left for work early this am, but I did order another Reo (TRA). I have too many buttons and the atty collection is growing. Of course I forgot to order the nickel for this one, but I am thinking the Peekaboo button will grace it. Fun vapemail when I get home Thursday night. Makes me not want to be at work this week. :unsure:
