Momma always said don't knock it until you've tried it... I've tried it but I don't like it. I have a pair of Hadalays (authentic) and a pair of black delrin caps (also authentic) and as much as I wanted to like the Hadalay it's not for me. I received these this past Monday and have used them for a week; the simply are not my bag. If there was never a Narda (Chi or authentic) nor an O-Atty (HD) (cho or otherwise) I would like it but with the current choices I find the chamber too small. I'd love to unload these 1 week old authentics with caps for $130 shipped for both attys and both caps. First X1 takes the set.

If you,are wondering what replaced them it was a pair of Ch-O-Atty (HD)s. Since I have learned the secret to building them (coil less than 1mm above the BF pin) even my Nardas have moved to second string and that leaves the Hadalays collecting dust. I paid 170 something shipped for these directly from Psyclone.

Of course it's just my luck that you mention a CAM-M V2 precisely after I send in my 4 V1s for the 510 upgrade...

I finally decided to send these in because no matter what I try nothing makes me as happy as the M. The selling point for me, and why I own 6 and have put up with the required maintenance issues...

Dual 18650 in parallel let's me comfortably run builds in the 0.2 range with plenty of amperage overhead and overall battery life.

10ml juice bottle to feed those thirsty builds.

But just as important for me, a reasonably low price. I simply cannot justify spending $400-$500 on a single mod. If I had the means, I would own LBC's and CCII's, but it's not in the cards for me.
I was hesitant to spend the money to upgrade my last four mods, but the first two I had have held up well for the last few months and I finally thought it worth freeing myself from much of the maintenance rituals.

For me, a V2 would have to retain everything good about the V1, while reducing maintenance even further and possibly make bottle access/installation easier, though to be honest that's never been an issue for me.

The Tres Equis looks like a winner. What do you guys think?

looks good..but accessing and inserting the bottle might be a bit of a challenge..it has 3 battery caps on the bottom like the ones used for the SXmini.

I'm having a little trouble with my O-attys, and thought to ask the assembled experts for help :)

I've been using SS316L, 26 ga. Single, compressed coil, around .4 ohms. Often, when I first fire it to make sure everything is good, one of the legs - the one wrapped around the positive post - breaks. The end of the wire is clipped to the inside, and isn't touching anything. This happens perhaps 50% of the time. What am I doing wrong?

TIA!

What wattage are you using to check the coil?

Is the bottom of the coil resting on the squonk pin? I had that earlier today. 6 3mm wraps of 26 kanthal for .4 ohms? (Should be closer to .7-.8). Bottom of the coil was a hair too low. Check that.

I might do them so the cap never has to come out. It will depend on the construction of the mod.

I'm thinking about doing a cam-m v2. Similar format to the upgraded cam-m v1 (with the VT BF 510) and maybe a different body. Just gauging interest.

the only reason i sold mine was because of the "maintenance" ya had to do on it from juice leaking everywhere.it was a hard hittin mod and the price was way cheap at the time.the coppervape squonkers also have a bit of a leaky history,but its able to be fixed for the mostpart with an oring put in where its needed.if id have had the coin to have the new 510 put in the MM id have had ya do it...just no extra money nowdays.sounds like everyones happy with thier new 510's in the MM though...thumbs up.

That would be perfect..and I think you'll be able to easily do it!..here is a review and breakdown of the authentic..it's really simple! I don't think the clone would be any different

In regards to the new mod what would you rather have? The LBC jr (dna75/18650) same shape as the LBC but 30% smaller or the Trap mod (dna75/maybe even dna60 optional/ lipo 1850)? Personally I like the Trap mod way better but I realized I never asked your opinions.

If it takes the Trap shape for the Lipo, that's my vote. Other than getting a CC Dually for my Rotation, I have plenty of 18650 Mods, including the CAM v1. Once Spring arrives and you get some free-time/ slow-down on the Mod projects, I'd like to have the CAM 510 upgraded... :2c:

Just let me know and i will find one to send you way chowder
