Holy machine oil.......any tricks? I boiled in dawn water and that didn't work.

ETA: Sorted with a good soak in ISO. That was the nastiest atty I've ever encountered!

You can also try soaking in white vinegar mixed in some water before doing the dawn dish soap bath.

Gonna have to try some different builds in this vertex. Flavor kinda flat but I guess after the manta that is to be expected. Very nice draw though and good vapor but not dense enough. Maybe i will try some tiger wire[emoji6]

It takes some fiddling but once you hit your sweet spot, I think you will like it. It's a pretty good flavor atty with that slightly reduced chamber.

Flavor is starting to come around[emoji6] I'm thinking some twisted or tiger wire will get my vapor density up. I have a temco shipment coming in today and I will be able to play with some new stuff.

This old dog is trying to learn some new tricks[emoji15]

So your wire arrived. Have you played with the nichrome / kanthal mix yet, also the ribbon wire to create some tiger wire

No wire today. Playing with what I have on hand. I tracked my temco order and as always tracking not updated in CA so not sure where it's at[emoji15]

But yes when it arrives I have plans for some mixed kanthal/nichrome builds[emoji6]

Roscoe do you have buttons for the GDNA40? I don't know if it's the same as the peko..
It's a bit different. There are two possible buttons for the gdna. Depends on the tact switch used. Ball tact or alps style switch. I don't have a gdna to make a button from yet[emoji6] I do have a dna40 board on my bench though!

I purchased this one built so I don't know the switch type, but I ain't apposed to figuring it out :)
IT's clicky, is all I could say now.
I suspect it's the same dimensions as a peko switch. instead of a threaded inside it has a nubbin on the bottom to activate the tact switch.

I have made a slight change on this mod to the negative contact to make it removable for cleaning without disassembly. All it takes is a long flat head screwdriver down the battery tube to remove.

Roscoe, I probably should ask how is the best way to clean the negative contact on mine? [emoji6]

BTW I dig the number plate on the 003 mod :D

Me too! I'm glad to see he is putting the numbers on. Mine is 002 but doesn't have the number on it. Was tempted to put it on myself but didn't want to mess it up [emoji6]
