Sorry Rudy, I never sell any of my handmade mods.

Steve's clearly a hoarder

a question for the experts...

are your 510 adjustable?

mine is but it isn't simple as if you screw/unscrew the positive my lever rotates and you have to adjust it again, any insights?

I vape 1 juice for 95% of the time but love to change rdas so this adjustment is a must for me

 

[vapero]

wow, I think I just killed the thread with my question

sorry

I really like spring loaded the best and usually do some sort of spring loaded even if it's just a silicone bushing but I've done a few adjustable. to me adjustable is only great if you can have the screw be reverse threaded so when you tighten the atty you're not also lowering the adjustment, when the adjustment turns the same RH threading as the atty then sometimes you'll never get it really tight because turning the atty can also turn the pin

yeah I think the silicone tube would be my best bet for minor play, if it needs more the, it would need to be a bit of unscrewing and realigning the lever

Why not losen the pin first? Then screw on the atty all the way. Then tight the pin to the atty. That way, the pin is not in contact with the atty until after the atty is screwed all the way on.

You have a very nice lump...LOL. Are you building or the P man? If the latter, take out the guess work and let the expert do his thing.

No I'm going to build it....................one day!

Modded the Vector RDA. Easiest RDA I ever squonkafied. NO DRILL BITS REQUIRED. I did the whole thing with a Dremel and a cutter disc. I used the pin that came with the mod. The beauty of the Vector is you just need to wide slot the center post from the bottom. It seats into the base of the atty on the square sides milled into the bottom of the center post that match up with the delrin insert. Here are some pics of the centerpost and the pin. She squonks hearty and drains super fast. If you have limited skill like me, you can easily mod all your attys with a Dremel on a desk top with any clamp or vice. I held the pieces with a needle nose.

Looking great CC, what kinda finish are you gonna give this beauty?

 

[CaptSteve]

Pro'ly a good idea doing the clear coat because it'll patina real fast. Looking forward to see it finished bud, great work as always.

 

[penguiness]

Thanks, Capt.!
I'll prolly go with the super fine brushed finish like the brass beauty in my avi... I'm debating doing a clear cerakote to protect the finish...

You are right about that being a brass beauty!

A full copper CC?...already looking amazing...though I would not be looking forward to boring the batt/bottle holes...finding that sweet spot of speed/force/feed rate is just nasty with copper...and what cutting fluid? (I even tried whole milk like some of the old time machinists suggested). I'm sure you've already run into how copper likes to grab a cutter and pull it into itself

Copper, love the end product, hate machining it

You would actually need to use half and half, if you want to replicate old time whole milk. Today's whole milk does not contain as much cream as milk fresh from the farm of yesteryear.

 

[Rossum]

First no titanium, now no copper either? Shucks.

 

[Rossum]

That one's gonna be gorgeous!

 

[penguiness]

But you got through it, CC and came out of it with increased knowledge. I would call that a successful accomplishment.

 

[penguiness]

Indeed!
Not only that,... but I also got Ross to guilt me into lookin' at gettin' one of these...

Well, heck. You get new toys, too? You must have been feeding Karma the good stuff for a while.

 

[WharfRat1976]

Need a pin I can squonk for the Manta V2..Any ideas? Thank you.

Also, what material would you suggest to insulate a pin inside a 510 connector. I'm thinking a tube squeezed material that will semi harden and insulate.....will a good epoxy do the trick?
