Box mod suggestions! Smoant Cylon etc.

[Myk]

That's what I'm talking about.
@QcVaper @jim_87

Yep that's the one I found, read the comments for the problem and solution. Or at least the solution to have it not be there. It's not in the mod it's between the screen cover and the screen. It's coming in from the fire button.
Any other mod covered in eliquid like that would have the liquid inside the mod.
There's one comment that had theirs build up in the 510 and allegedly cause a short (I say allegedly because I've never heard of liquid causing shorts, only fears of liquids causing shorts, if it does short why doesn't it short across coils?).
Those people must have a lot more tolerance for leaking tanks than I do. I would either fix the tank or stop using it.

IP67 waterproof, able to withstand immersion for up to 30 minutes and at a depth of up to 1 meter. Not to be confused with able to withstand being constantly covered in juice

I thought I had a watchmaker solution, silicone that stays wet behind the screen cover around the button, but then I figured the way eliquid is it would eventually find or make a way.
I remember people saying the viscosity of PG could find its way under crowns, and that's some major glue sealing it and a tight fit (my crowns that went bad were bad jobs, either a bad fit or left some decay at the base, so I can't blame the eliquid).

Reading the comments on the video it seems like some are thinking it's water resistant (1 meter doesn't qualify as proof) so they put their leakers on it. Why would anyone keep using a leaker? Would any other mod do any better constantly bathed in eliquid?

I have a smoant cylon it's one of my favorite mods and like, if anyone should get the line through the screen, it should be me. I drop that sucker all the time I mean not literally but yeah, enough.

This is my screen today

I can't say I've ever dropped it, definitely not any hard drops. I think it's bad screens, hopefully it was a batch problem.

The weight difference is the Cylon is .2oz heavier. Full TFV4 on the Cylon, half full Themis mesh on the Legend.

My hope for the Cylon was to be able to replace the leatherette with leather which could've been done but would require contact cement.
Of course the same plan works out better with the Legends.

I don't mind heavy, but if I wanted a smaller or lighter dual battery mod I would look at Proton and Battlestar. They're both about 3oz lighter and smaller than Cylon and Legend and a much smaller feel.
I did have my Proton bathed in eliquid for about a week. I'm sure it's still got eliquid in the many seams. And that one has taken a pretty hard drop, although not the hardest I've had.

Yeah, I don't save my leaky tanks for mods I think can "Take it." LOL, I have some mods I KNOW can handle being LIBERALLY bathed in eliquid from my early RTA "experiments" and I am talking A LOT Of leaking but a) that wasn't my goal, and b) if/when I like, realized an RTA was leaking all down through the batteries and whatnot and EVERYWHERE I was usually horrified and then spent a while.... cleaning. LOL. And, after that, ah, "fixing" and etc,

I didn't like save leaky tanks to put ON there, like, "Oh, I will save this really terrible build and shoddy wicking job and screw it on REALLY tightly and like, drip through the 510 connection into the guts," like that should be NO ONE's goal to be honest. Yes, sometimes tanks leak a BIT and well, that's what regular maintenance is for, but I'm talking a DROP not "spew 4.5 ml down into the electronics of the mod because it's waterproof.

I mean it's the equivalent of taking a hammer to a "waterproof" watch and then submerging it well guess what it's NOT WATERPROOF ANYMORE. LOL.

I would like my Legend to like, accompany me in the rain to the mailbox, not dribble like a bunch of eliquid down through its guts. Maybe I am CRAYZEE but that is what I think. LOL.

Just giddy because I am happily vaping my new chocorasberry flavor (it's somehow DRY tasting gotta fix that) in my new "pairing" of a P3 Black stealth and a second Zenith I just got. It's also black, and 0.5 mm WIDER than the P3 but I LIKE the look, honestly, it's like AH HA! LIGHTHOUSE! Not expecting that!

This mix needs some guava and maybe some cranberry potentially TBH and also like... pomegranate, it's just not RIGHT although I guess I could let my coil break in some...

My Proton getting leaked on was trying to get the Scion II/Scion RTA to work in TC. As the wick got dirty TC got squirrely so I'd increase the feed rate. TC got better but it leaked. I messed with that for about a week before I gave up and threw the Scion II on the Battlestar which has no problem with it in TC at a feed rate that doesn't leak.

I found my bib overall leg pocket still soaked in eliquid after being washed. Spot wash fixed it, but who would put up with a tank that does that? Especially now with top flow air tanks available.
And now that leaf proof (so far to me) top flow is available my random seepers are being phased out of use.

The weight difference is the Cylon is 2oz heavier.

Correction: 2 TENTHS of an ounce heavier. .2oz

You would be ok using an atty that doesn't leak. I wonder why he keeps using an RTA that gushes juice all over his mod.

Thank you everyone who supported with suggestions. I bought Aegis Legend and I am very happy for 3 weeks

@Myk – Did you perform the leather work on those Legends? If so they both look awesome! Gives them a more authentic look oppose to something that was mass produced. Well done!

As for the comments on water proof/resistance etc. It’s IP 67 which if you look it up means dust tight and immersion up to 1meter. Can look up what the codes mean here...

What’s wrong with your switcher. Why are you so interested in getting a mod that’s a side grade. What objective parameters are you looking to improve. Let’s get that out of the way first.

I'm a little tired of Switcher. I like to make constant changes. The Aegis Legend is a better device than the Switcher. I fell in love with the device.

Yes I did. Thanks.
Here's a thread with all the inserts.
What have I done to my Aegis Legend?

Excellent work man. No idea how much work goes into creating something like this – if not too much, you should create a small batch and offer them for sale. Completely transforms the look of the Aegis. The Punk likes!!

Thin leather isn't bad. I'd rather teach how to do it.

 

[stols001]

I've decided to update my legend. The way I do things, that means in a couple weeks but @Myk LOL I will let you know if I mean WHEN I do, it will be my first update.

Step 1: Find the box with cable in it....
