Congratulations Digi. Please order a couple more of each battery. It is best to purchase them in groups of 2 or more and cycle them. This will actually save you money in the long run as they will last longer and you will never be without a battery in the tube. Also. grab a sharpie and mark the day they are put in use.
An inexpensive small multi meter from a big box store or a vendor will prove priceless to check batteries off the charger, coil ohms, etc.
Some of us have 12 or more batteries in cycle for each size. AW IMR's are a great choice for any PV.
So....looks like more tanning lotion for the Boss.....Might as well just buy her a tanning bed as this isnt the last of it!
Glad to have you here.
I've been looking for a woman who is this easy to please and appease for 25 years. Where did you find her?
LOL, 10-4 miagi
She gave me the green light on the LUX as long as I buy her some hard to come by tanning lotion. Fair trade I think.
GP PAPS 18350 LUX Edition version 2.5
GP Salt & Pepper Tank (SnP)
GP Cartodriver
Is this setup complete?
I have been hovering around the checkout button all day and noticed the 22m tank is sold out. I AM SO CLOSE TO DOING IT!!!! GP paps 2.5 ss and 2 AW IMR 18350's as well as charger.

I own a MultiMeter already as I'm a technician during the day. Good advice though!
I will certainly report back when it comes in, to show it off and probably get some more advice!

Oh crap! I broke my ceramic today and slightly destroyed the 510 Post of the Diver
Wanted to make a NR-R-NR coil (just to see how it feels, plus had lotza spare time) and couldn't, for the love of God, remove the Diver from the SnP. "Tight Fit" is an understatement here! Tried all stunts possible, held the 510 post with pliers (which eventually destroyed its threads), twisted, pulled... the bloody thing wouldn't budge!
All it did is unscrew the coil section (which broke the ceramic cup) any which way that I tried. And putting it back bent the damn thing as well!
So how did I do it?
Finally, held the Tank against the kitchen top, with the 510 post facing the floor, and hammered the top end of the Diver. Yes, hammered it with the rubberized hand-grasps of a pliers and then could push it slightly into the tank. Popped in the Carto-tool over the Diver... continued to hammer it down and voilà!
Bottomline:
This tank, the SnP, is really well built. Holds the Diver with robotic zeal. I know ppl had issues fitting it as well, fortunately I had it easy then - but not while removing it! So folks, be careful. It's wise not to pry it in anyway except to push it down by tapping (aka hammering) it with the Carto-tool mounted atop.
BTW, I still love it, one Diver down, but the SnP holds its ground well
Hey bro, best way to get out a stuck ceramic out of a diver, is to use a tiny screw driver and pry out the positive post from the bottom....works every time...well almost !
I had a problem today where I couldn't remove my ceramic. There was no room to pry the ceramic and prying the pin did not help. I tried freezing it but there was no change. I was able to eventually remove it and I would only recommend this as a last resort: I took a large paper clip and inserted in through the center hole of the ceramic through the top (after removing the wick and coil) and pushed the pin out through the bottom. The paperclip was pushed a little bit inside the hollow pin, but the pin seems fine.
Thanks GB.
However, I wasn't trying to take the ceramic out... I was trying to remove the Diver from the Tank

But if you have a VV/VW mods as well, there's really not a reason to have a multimeter, right?

I can see the need for checking coil ohms for sure. Mechs do not do that, unless I am missing something here
I'm just trying to not buy things I don't need. My Sigelei will tell me both resistance as well as batt volts, both things a multimeter can do as well.

Thanks to Vcoupe for posting this shot. Just when my mind was all set on another 2.5 Paps brushed.
I'm on the hunt for another mod... this one is in my sights. With the flat top this setup will be really sweet.

One more
Yea copy that. I'm in the HVAC industry, so I'm good to go on electrical equipment, tools, etc. I need all the help I can get on mechs/mods though

Me too on the help. I meed it as well. I have asked a million questions and i have plenty more.
I was originally asking about the MM not necessarily trying to help. I don't know the answer as to whether or not I need a multimeter.

Installing dam French Doors today and my new GP fell out of my pocket slammed down on the sidewalk button first.
Little scratch on the locking ring but still works perfect. I love well made mech devices.

Aside from the battery, mechanical mods have no electronics or wires. Reading the resistance needs to be done using electronics and will have to be done with an electronic PV or a multimeter.
I think that the first consideration when choosing a mech should be the body style and button location (side, pinky, bottom, etc). This is a personal preference - I like bottom button mods. You should look at pictures of different mechanicals and try to decide this for yourself. Conductivity is a consideration - you definitely want brass contacts, perhaps with silver or gold plating (I think that silver is more durable than gold and either way, you'll be disappointed when it starts to run off).
With a mechanical mod you're really just dealing with a 510 connection powered by a battery. Different models have their pluses and minuses. If you want to learn you should hit YouTube and look at reviews of different mechanicals - it's helpful to watch people disassemble and assemble it. You can search the forums for commentary on different devices - most popular models have dedicated threads where people will share the good, the bad, and perhaps the ugly.
Some people like to buy clones at first to get a feeling for what they like. I did my research and picked what would be considered a high-end mechanical after much deliberation. If you buy a high-end device directly from the source you're most likely to receive quality support in case something is wrong. I'm concerned that I've become addicted to buying mechanical mods, but I don't regret anything that I've bought.
