the cap on a cyclone afc is rock solid, you can pick the whole mod up swing it around and handle it just holding the atty cap and the cap isn't going to move or adjust or pop off easily but it's a bulky cap

I also have a few other atties with orings that are rock solid,very little chance of movement but there all bigger bulkier thicker caps. for a thin sleek atty I think screw on is the best way to have a solid cap, the tiny orings used in a thin sleek atty just don't hold tight enough for my abuse.the v2 is def better than the v1's but twice today I pulled my mod from my pocket and the cap came off, totally worth it the way it's vaping and truth is it's not very loose, but I like my stuff screwed together tight enough to stay locked together as one piece in use, plus the positive airhole location of a screw on cap is great,just more trouble free even with abuse

I wasn't going to get into this. I was just going to let it pass ( ;) brraaaAAAP) . . . . . .

But, 1) I knew the reason you wanted a twist cap is because you remove your mod from your pocket by way of pulling on the atomizer.

. . . . I'm not going to base any design on that. ever. (but I promise not to do it very lovingly :pervy:)

2) a screw-on cap with a fixed airhole position defeats about 2/3 of the rest of the design. so, again. . . . . . not.

I completed all the final shaping on the mods today. So, everybody is flushed out, exactly the shape they're going to be, and has seen the disc sander for the last time w/ a 320 grit departure. I'll get into the b-cap set screws and "deltas" tomorrow.

I also wanted to mention a thought that crossed my mind t'other day, when I was doing final shaping on the diV2bi (dibi↔ibid, Dat . .. . Dis-Dat). That thing is so undiscontuberatingly small, that there's actually room to leave some of the take-offings. What I mean to say is that there's actually room now (on the outside) to get a little creative with shapes and have it net no bigger than the existing OliveRdibiSumpin'. I may be doing a little sculpting as things progress. I figure I'll make one or two on spec, here and there, and play with some shapes, maybe. If anyone likes them, they can buy one, and then I'll make more like that (or, not like that; but like . .. ... . "all ArTsy n' see-it". We shall see . .. . it's a fun thought. I been known to make some shapes here n' there.

yeah,can def see where a screw on cap would hurt much of the versatility . it's all about trade off's and priorities I guess, not too surprised you won't design around my pocket extractions I guess :sleep:

I love you, man! (but I must tease you . . . must)

opening the other side air with the coil on one side helps to remove the stagnant pocket that would otherwise exist opposite the coil, this reduces harshness but also dilutes the vape somewhat.

Turbo nice thinking man, I am one of those people who experiment with coil positioning and airhole and study the emptiness around the coil in order to get the right air to vapor mix. I first started when people said that harsh throat hit is caused by the hottness in the vapor, and from experiments I realized it is because of wrong air to vapor mix ratio. Also I want to comment on the bit you mentioned above. Your theory is correct and that model you did is beautiful, however you should really calibrate such an experiment in terms of power in order not to have too much unmixed vapor directly to your lungs which translates into the harsh throat hit. So instead of adding air that dilutes the vapor, you should reduce the vapor to match the air available at that tiny chamber you now have. I hope I am clear enough on this. Nice work man, now you gave me some other ideas for other atties as well :D

You could always swap out the orings between the topcap and the base with thicker ones (10x1.5mm or 10x2mm vs the 10x1mm that are pre-installed) if you want a tighter fit to be able to pull your mod out of your pocket by the atty.
