I won the Dovpo 50 Scorpion and it has the screw pin. It only seems to be once or twice a week that I need to find a screwdriver but it is a really nice device. I have a Dovpo E LVT and between me and the kid, we have 5 E Mechs :facepalm: One of mine had stopped working because of a short in a coil... the protection circuit didn't. So I ordered another and by the time it arrived, son had taken the one apart and removed the bit from the protection circuit and used it to fix the E Mech. But these devices have the nicest spring loaded connector we have found and just a shame Dovpo decided to cheap out and use the screw pin. Perhaps that is why they are going to come out with a mini E LVT. The big version of it has the spring loaded connector. That way they would just be downsizing the originals and not changing the designs at all.

Kath... Killer had a really good Key Lime Pie... for a recipe would say go with a cheesecake with graham crust, lime, perhaps a little French vanilla to sweeten the cheesecake a bit and then whipped cream to fluff it up a bit. One of the flavors I like too but even with the 15 ml bottle I had, was really tired of it by the end of the bottle for some reason. The flavor was spot on though. Could leave out the Fr Vanilla and see how ya like it beforehand tho.

Didn't even know this was a thing, until a few weeks ago when I got a new 30 watt vamo. It has the screw adjustable connection and it is the worst pain in the backside. When my tank will not make contact and I adjust the screw upwards, it seems to work. When I take off the tank to refill and put it back on, it says "no atomizer connection" again! Somehow, it manages to go back down on it's own! So frustrating! This was not something I knew about when I bought it but it really ruins the mod for me.
I think the screw-adjustable pins sometimes turn when a topper screwed/unscrewed in--which kind of defeats the purpose, if you ask me.

Yeah, those screw adjustments can be a pain. I've got some I only use certain toppers on, because I get tired of adjusting them.

The screw adjustments vs. a spring loaded 510 connection is a result of the increased power in the mods and limitations of the materials and design.

If a spring loaded connection is passing the current through the spring it can add unwanted resistance to the circuit, as the spring becomes part of it. This requires the material the spring is made of be able to withstand the high current imparted, while still having enough springiness to operate. High current, low resistance materials such as copper or gold are soft, no spring....tougher metals would have higher resistance and could heat up as much as the 0.3Ω coil you put on it.

The screw adjustment is the easy answer to provide a good contact and still be able to handle higher power, lower resistance coils. It would be technically simpler to provide a high wattage output if you use a 18-24 volt supply and much higher resistance coils than are currently used. Unfortunately this is not an option using the current crop of 3.7 volt batteries for size or weight.

Why does it seem that I get 3 day streaks of needing to charge batteries/devices?
They vary in mah, some get more use than others and it's not the same group that always needs recharging at the same time. I still have to recharge something every few days but it seems like about every 10 days or so I get a 3 day streak that a bunch (6-8).

I go thru 3 married pairs of 18650 daily :ohmy:

Hoping some vapemail shows up in the next couple days. Some of it was sent 2 weeks ago. Always takes at least a week for me to get anything (and that's the stuff that gets here quick).
I always laugh when I see people complaining that they didn't get their order in 3 or 4 days.

is that a pretty normal timeframe for you Mac?
Is it sent Priority or 1st class?

I used drill bits until this, I found 8-10 or so wraps of medical tape around the side of the bit you hold made it a lot easier to use. Bigger for my swollen fingers lol

was experimenting with the coil jig, the coil pick and my 1/8" drill bit and i hate to say it but for me... I'm gonna stick with my drill bit :ohmy:
