iSeason Mechanical Mod -- Adam clone w/brass contacts

[Datalux]

looks like its had some cinnamon juice in it

I believe the stock tank on the RSST is opaque by default, at least in all the pictures I've seen.

I have an AGA-T+ and just find the SS rba's too fiddly, guess I'm a wick and wire kind of guy as I love my IGo-L. I could wrap a coil blind drunk and it would still work on it. Need to find a way to rig the AGA-T with silica thru one hole or maybe drill a second.

LOL, good skill to have!

Whats 'fiddly' about SS compared to chrome though?

 

[Lhartman89]

I think he means SS mesh compared to silica or cotton.

Doh. I need more coffee this morn

 

[dragonet]

which the number that appears on your iseason?
my is 0605

Has anyone found a good brass or copper spring to replace the stock one? I really like this device but I do notice the drop in voltage. Also is it ok to stack 18350s in this?

My serial is 0028

So the iSeason and RBAs (specifically sub-ohm builds) have ruined all other vaping for me. I just bought an artemas tank for my 'out and about' setup and this thing even at 15watts on my vamo isn't enough for me...

@xylocaine
which awg do you use?

 

[tc1]

Keep in mind as well ... the vamo won't go past 11 watts without stacking. I get what you are saying though ....

I have found a higher mg juice is giving me a satisfying vape on my eGo-C Twist with my Artemas Slim (I vape around 3mg but got an 11mg sample from madvapes and its made it with using my twist again). I got the artemas tank for two reasons, the iSeason and Mechanical/Big Battery Mods seem to scare people away from vaping as being 'too complex' so having a beautiful form factor of the eGo-C Twist with a shortty cone and an Artemas gives them that 'cool/sleek' look they might be going after.

@xylocaine

30 Kanthal (the place I order it from doesn't sell the 28 at the moment)

So what are you getting when you set it to 15 watts?

To avoid a double post I keep editing this but I had to ask:
How does a mechanical mod work exactly?

I mean the Negative Post and the Positive Post of the battery are in constant contact with the two brass ends of the guts of the iSeason. How does pressing a piece of metal against the negative post complete the circuit and cause the electricity to flow?

The pos post is insulated from the rest of the mod and the neg post is also insulated from the bottom of the mod. So when the button makes contact it completes the circuit. Hope this makes sense.

There's a perfect sized one on Amazon, in silver-plated copper (a great conductive material), but they're $19 for 10 and I believe they're coiled opposite to what we need to thread into the post. I got a brass and a copper spring at my local hardware -- I had to mod both slightly to work (I stretched one and had to sort of finagle the other), but it makes a big difference. Check your local hardware, take the piece with you and see what they have in copper or brass.

I no longer use the spring. If you go back quite a few pages, there's an explanation for the "18490 brass-to-brass mod" for the iSeason that completely eliminates the spring and gives me 0.19-0.23V voltage drop, depending on coil and device. That's in the range you get with high-end "luxury" mods, so pretty darn nice.

The pos post is insulated from the rest of the mod and the neg post is also insulated from the bottom of the mod. So when the button makes contact it completes the circuit. Hope this makes sense.

It does make sense, and it's how every mechanical mod works, including top-switch mods. They just move the insulated section to the top so that the switch completes the circuit.

Maybe I missed the post, but where can I buy one of these i Seasons? I only see the Alibaba site, sold as the Rainbow. Thank you for your help

MOV has them for $49.99+shipping. iSeason Mechanical ("Adam Clone") by Mountain Oak Vapors

I believe OKC also has the iSeason, at least that is where I got mine from. Love this thing so far. Would've liked some better locking nuts though. Mine stripped within the first day of use. Not a deal breaker for me at the price point.

Are you referring to the lock-ring threads on the switch?

Lock rings on mine are just fine.

Newbie question here ..... Don't have a RBA (yet), but wrapped a .95 ohm coil on a cotton wick for my viva. This rocks... Excellent flavor, tons of smoke, yea, this is what mech mods are all about, & can't get this on my vamo even with the highest wattage! But I noted it sounds like a jet, louder than any other coil I've tried. Also, the entire Iseason tube gets warm if I chain vape.... Not hot, just warm in the hand, and spread throughout the entire mod. Doesn't do this with coils at 1.8 ohms and higher. Normal? Or is this the hi resistance spring showing its ugly face?

Your dumping a lot more (electric) juice into your vivi nova then your used to so you will experience the entire mod heating up as it channels and displaces the heat from the amount of electricity you have pumping to your atty.
