Wow, I've seen a lot of good reviews on this baby. I put myself on the "notify me" list at Hoosier. I hope that sale price stands when it is re-stocked. Nice looking colors. This will be my 2d only Chinese mod.
Anxious to hear if sanding the contacts works better.


Its only 49.99 on gotvapes.com or 62 on discountvapers.com

The tank I ordered didn't work so I had to order something different, hopefully it will be here tomorrow!! This time I actually emailed with customer service to make sure what I was picking would work. They were very helpful!!! But, depending on how my new stuff works, I may order another one, lol!!

Smart move :)

Just found out that the K100 is in fact chrome plated brass, not stainless steel like many people have said. Sucker is heavy for a brass mod ... I honestly thought it was polished SS too until I came across info on another site.

So who want's to sand down their contacts and see if we can't get this sucker to hit even harder first? :D
I did that when I first got mine in. pv Ω went from .89 to .48Ω.

Anyone sand the contacts down yet?
Yes, yes I have.

To get the 510 connection portion off of the top of the chrome tube, place a deep well socket inside tube and tap with a hammer, it is press fit.

To disassemble switch: Pull plastic ring with big spring out of switch housing, (This is not the switch spring, this just holds the proper distance between battery and switch contact pin and holds battery against 510 post).

Push up on switch to get better access and remove c-clip, slide switch out bottom. (Be careful of the switch spring on bottom as you separated switch from housing.

Sand until you expose brass:
Switch pin (connects to negative side of battery)
510 connection (on battery positive side)
510 connection (on atty side) I did not disassemble the 510 connector, I just used care sanding this portion in place. Did a little scraping with surgical scissors to loosen plating then sanded, this sped things up.

Reassemble:
Use caution with small parts I.E. c-clip and spring.
Use caution replacing 510 connection head on tube, do not let it go on crooked. I put the tube on a piece od wood on my desk and a small piece of wood on the connector (protects your hand and the piece), lined it up and leaned on it to apply pressure to start it out true in the tube. Tap it in with a hammer hitting the wood or continue to use body weight to seat flush.

Apply a light coat of valsiline to switch housing threads and telescope tube threads, wipe off with paper towel.

My PV resistance dropped by almost 1/2Ω and threads are very smooth with no binding.
