RiSK would be better off buying an istick or some other small mod with a factory built atomizer, but he has said that he has no money to spend.

I've looked for $20 deals on small mods with little success. We are approaching the Chinese New Year period where there's little on sale and lots of things are out of stock for a while.

He'd be fine with an istick Pico kit with the Melo III tank for $26.99, but he has no money to spend. He'd also need a good battery like the Samsung 30Q for around $6 from RTDVapor.com.

iStick Pico Kit by Eleaf $26.99

Good luck with the build RISK.
I'm astounded at this thread. I feel bad the treatment you have endured here... this USED to be a wonderful place to learn, not the mean spirited back biting, name calling place that it had evolved to. I for one am done. I'm removing my book mark to this site. I cant believe people being so small to call you a liar because you don't understand... they need banned from the site! thank you Mike 685, this what this site USED to be, explain and guide a newbe, not belittling him. I have built hundreds of mods over the years, regulated and non regulated,but frankly I wouldn't consider putting putting one up anymore to give these wanna be's a place to spot off.
This.

I stayed away bc I thought the Op was trolling, tbh I'm still not completely sure. When I first got here this kind of mod was pretty common, in fact, besides the missing 510 and possibly inhaling toxins, it's probably better than at least 80% of those. in fact, here's a super ghetto one from when genesis were impossible to get...



Please be more helpful. This is the modding forum, theres nothing wrong with learning by doing & suggesting someone is a dingus, incapable of learning and should buy a mod instead, is the kind of douchebaggery that has made a lot of the good, helpful people here leave. Consider how do you think modders became modders? Sharing knowledge on forums like this one, vape pit, vapor wall etc.

@RiSK, Hey man I have built several regulated mods sorry can't really help you on this one. Get you a good diagram, do your research. I don't get on here often any more, but it used be hundreds of modders helping each other and pages of recent threads of their builds. I'm sure they went somewhere.

I'm not even sure the guys not a troll, still, regardless of wherever, whatever, why ever, what this guy is doing is how modders learned how to make proper mods...

What do we lose by being helpful or just not bashing the guy? who's to say this guy doesn't turn out to be the next raidy, or satburn, or superdave? All they started with was the curiosity to ask questions.

did you read my initial posts? i see nothing wrong with wanting to build your own mod... when you are using questionable scrap parts, lying about the video etc, not answering basic questions that would make it so more could help while at the same time repeatedly asking people to say your mod is safe... no, i don't think he's a troll, i think he's young and trying, but in over his head. yes, we are suggesting a safer alternative, especially after he said he was going to spend money... did you really not follow the whole thread? the majority every response has been in regards to trying to protect him and make sure he doesn't get hurt. considering the damage these can do, there should be a limit as to when you encourage.

I don't see the part where he lied, what do you mean by scrap parts? Apart from the "hybrid" style dripper with the glue fumes, his design is somewhat sound...

He could get a 510 connector and a real dripper, and with the 25r it should be fine, I would have done the negative terminal for the battery differently and probably used a better switch, but this is a pretty good start if he's trying to learn about building mods.

I for one, award him +100 Internet points for ingenuity.
