K100 sanding down to brass,and rebuilding MECH HEADS HELP

[floydfanx6]

OK guys,this is my first mechanical and I love it. I wanted it to hit harder so i used am emory board to get down to brass.Then i used a fine grit 600 sand paper to smoothe it out. So far i have exposed the inner contact,and the contact near the fire button to brass. While i tried to pop off the head of the K100 I accidently dinged the contact a bit,(you will notice in 1 of the pictures). Will this give me voltage drop,or lesson my contact? Is there anything else i can do to lower my resistance, any advice or criticism will be highly appreciated

bump~ where are the mech guys

last bump ,,

Have you tried putting it back together to see if it fires? If it still does, best bet is to pick up a voltmeter from madvapes and check the voltage drop

howd u get the top off

Yeah, just get some Orbtronic High Drain 18650's

Will def hit harder (at sub ohms)

That ding shouldn't be a problem, as long as it doesn't have protruding perimeter. So as long as the remaining area is flat and smooth should not matter.

I did similar tuning to mine. (Without taking the cap off, I sanded it while still inside). I can tell the difference even though I am using a 1.3ohm atty (mini-DID clone).

Apart from the stiff button, this is a great mod for the price.

How did you sand the center post on the top deck (top side that makes contact with the atomizer)?

 

[floydfanx6]

wow i sorta forgot about this thread because no one was replying for so long! getting the head off is easy just put a long spacer inside the tube on the outer part,not on the pin(my mistake) and just hammer it out,it will pop out pretty easy. I do belive it is hitting harder after what i have done but once in a while it doesnt fire,not sure why i think i need to do a good cleaning,my button is not stiff at all

Just the lazy way (which generally means you end up spending more time overall ) : Cut a small piece of sand paper, put it on my index finger, got it into the tube and gave my finger a nice workout.

EDIT: typo

I've been wanting to hear from someone who's popped the top cap on a k100. Considering you haven't screamed bloody murder about finding wires in there, I guess it's safe to assume there's none.

I have sanded and polished mine and with a fresh aw 18650@ 4.22v tested with a .7 ohm load had gotten 4.09v and I used a fluke to get my readings, that's a 97% voltage retention can you believe that and my fluke doesn't fail on accuracy
