Hello everyone,
Deb brought me over here and got me interested in these mods.
I just don't seem to find many videos other than from the maker or I seem to be too stupid to find them.
Could someone be so kind and put a link to a video of the quoted mod? Is this the Vw version? Why do I see some with the display inside the mod and some on the bottom or side?
Is there a difference between the dna and the rm2?
Sorry for all the questions but the last sky mod I saw was back in the day with the grip for your fingers a few years back.
Thank you all so much.

I just found this thread. I didn't know anyone was making DNA BFs, but I definitely want one.![]()
I run 1.8-2.0 ohm coils on my cutlass. Good battery life and you can use the full 7-20 watt range.
I just got my RM2 today and I'm definately liking it better than A7. More vapor and easier to rebuild too.
I wonder why chinese are not making RM2 clones.
The Chinese already make the RM2, Rob just modifies them for bottom feeding. Same with the igo-s he carries.
I've never used an RM2 since it's made of plated Chinese brass (worried about lead)

Great quote. As a brewer I've spoke with Palmer on many occasions & I'll just say calling him brilliant isn't even scratching the surface. 90% of my metallurgy knowledge has come directly from listening to his talks, reading his papers & email correspondence with him.
Surface lead will leach into an acidic solution. I've never bothered taking a pH reading on any of my juices, but I would imagine that the citric fruit flavors would have higher levels of acid, depending on how the flavoring extract was produced. In brewing we are soaking much, much larger brass parts in solutions down to 3.0pH, which is quite acidic. As Palmer noted, this isn't really a concern but he provides the info for those who want to get rid of it anyways for piece of mind.
To answer your most important question, "Once the surface lead has been leached away or removed, will it leach out of the brass to the surface again?" No. It will not. Even under acidic conditions, once you've removed surface lead, it's gone & the brass is stable. The only way to expose more lead is to machine the surface of the brass, removing the old, treated surface & creating a new surface where the lead will again be present.
Note that even though lead is accumulative in the body, meaning one large dose or many smaller doses that add up to the same amount can be equally harmful, the amount we're talking about here is miniscule. Even with the accumulative nature, the amount of surface lead on such a tiny piece of hardware will not hurt you. You could use a new piece of hardware that size every single day for the rest of your life & suffer no ill effect from it.
wait a sec.. aren't all 510 connections in bf mods made of brass anyway?
oh I didn't know that.
are you serious... now I'm paranoid...
