Working on beryllium copper peko internals. Nothing snazzy! I have a brass solid switch arm I made out of .015 sheet, and it fires FAST. I was trying to find copper in .015, but couldn't. I did find some in .02 though... I was worried that it would start to get stiff (yup, I said it) at that thickness (that's sexual too), but it looks like .025 is worth a shot based on that testimonial.

I was worried about this.

It IS stiff.

And afaik, it's the softest copper on mcmaster that thickness.

And it doesn't bounce back much at all.

But it works I'm the grands. The throw becomes super short but returns that tiny bit reliably every time. After the first fire, it's easy to fire because the contact never completely returns.

Dunno about the pekos. Never was interested in a plastic BFer.

I found some on fleabay (yeah I know, but its OK) in the 0.01 range too. That's what I was originally going to snag until your post. But the .02+ sounds as if it may be too stiff (hur hur) for a peko. I think I'll go back to the .01ish range. That thickness seems ideal, and in brass will bend and spring back without issue.

No peko love, Beck? Oh good stuff. Not a CC, mind you, but good stuff all the same.

Hijack over!!! Thanks for humoring Corey!!!

Meh, not a single bottom feeder supplier was not one day a Reonaut. All the greats cc, pdib, gdeal, CH, and great minds like mundy and turbo. Heck even Rossum resisted but finally gave in (I'm sure he's not using it now though bit who cares he caved :D)
No collection of squonk mods would be complete without both a metal and a wood REO, right? :w00t:

I'm the same way with guns. I own some that I hardly ever shoot, and some that I shoot a lot. The mods I use a lot are pdib, gdeal, and CC creations. :)

OMG Corey! Went to get more triangles from Empire and got this reply: "Hello, we just found out the company no longer produces this RDA, sorry about that!" Sent an email to Shenzhen to enquire if any were available straight from China.
Oh no!! You do know you were the only one buying them for the last year :D

Yea, I'm a modded triangle addict. Just had to fix one last night I boofed up so thought I better get more since I have all of the ones I have on mods. If they aren't available I'll just have to remember those immortal words:

"I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess."

Looks like I quit using the rm2's, just in time. :)

Honestly, the only reason I still used 'em, is that my old ADV was Gorilla juice. I just couldn't get the same flavor from any other atty. Not the Cyclone or even the Chalice.... They both had good flavor,...but it just wasn't the same.

Now that AVE has dropped the ball,... I have switched to unflavored, exclusively. Now I'm runnin' like this...

I gotta be honest,....it's nice to be free from paying ridiculous prices for juice. No gunked coils, wicks last a really long time... I used to buy GJ by the 100ml bottle, 4 at a time usually... No more! :grr:

Now my joose is dirt. cheap. :D

I've got several liters of 100mg base in the freezer,...life is good! :thumb:

I can send you an un-modded Triangle, if you need it, buddy. :)

My adv was Boba's bounty until they changed the recipe or so I believe.

I've been on unflavored for a really long time now. But it ruined flavored juice for me. All flavored juice seems bitter. I threw away around 2kg of juice, thinking it had gone bad. And then tried some new ones. Turned out I couldn't go back anymore :(

I guess I'm going to have to revisit unflavored again. I just couldn't get it when I tried it before. I guess I just love flavored too much. Although, now I am starting to make my own at about .05/ml rather than the exorbitant .50+ per ml.
