Maybe travel shampoo bottles. I don't know if they're food safe. Wallmart would have them. It really is easier (and cheaper) to order online.

Well, you're right...online is cheaper and easier. But I need them kinda quick. Guess I'll just order online. Geez, there was a time I was wondering what I was going to do with all my sample sized bottles. I had a million of them (give or take one or two).

I save all my empties and use them for DIY. I've bought bottles, though. They're only like a quarter a piece.

I save mine too but they're all 30ml sized. I need little ones. Where do you source yours X?

It's been a while. I bought 5ml bottles for $0.30 ea. but I can't remember where. I don't buy that small any more. I generally go to Wizard Labs, OneStopDIYShop, and Myfreedomsmokes. Anywhere from $0.40 - $0.50

I could ask around in the mod forum, but there are some smart fellas in here. I'm looking at making another mod, and I would really like to use a better 510 connector than one from MadVapes. I know that I could buy a tap and try to make one myself, but since I'm not trying to go into business making mods, I was hoping to buy just one or two already made. At the moment, the best I can come up with is hacking one off of a dead Ego. I think I can get one for free but I don't have any, myself.

Where's the "real" mod parts store?

Is this close to what you are looking for?

510 to 510 adapter | extender

Or this maybe?

Mod Connectors

Yes! The first one looks like just the thing. I forgot all about Avid Vaper. I was looking at Cisco atomizers a while back and decided to go with an RDA instead. It's pretty pricey for a 510 to 510 extender with a nut, but it beats buying a tap to make just one or two. I was hoping for something that could be flush mounted, but I could work around that. Thanks!

I'm basically going to copy this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/399573-built-my-first-completely-diy-mod-over-weekend-i-think-turned-out-decent-first-try.html

I was thinking of doing the same thing exactly, but obviously someone has done it before. It would be hard for anyone that spends a while in the plumbing section at HomeDepot looking for mod building parts to miss this option. I have to buy at least 2 feet of copper pipe, so the first one will use the gold 510 connector from MadVapes that I already have. I can flush mount that one easily, and it can be push fit. For $1.50, I might stick with the cheap ones until I find out exactly how weak the threading is.

Wow, no posts in here in 4 days, did I say something wrong?

Copper pipe mod #1 complete. Exchangeable bottom tube lengths for 18350, 18500, & 18650. Ugly horn button, but everything is very, very solid. No battery spring used, and no rattle either. Essentially it's a heavy duty Bolt with great conductivity. Next one gets a prettier switch. That is all. Pretend I wasn't here...

Thanks XfooYen, it's really not a big deal at all. Baby steps, baby steps. Did you torch an AGA T to look like copper/brass?

I've torched a mod tube and an AGA-T. I just redid them to get a lighter finish. Put the parts in a 600°F oven for an hour to get a pale brass. For darker, I hold the parts over the stove burner and turn constantly until I get the desired shade.

While I don't have a metric assload of Vivi Novas, I do have about 150 Smoktech single coil cartos and around 8 - 10 DCT tanks that will probably never get used again, thanks to the ProTanks and my RBA's. I hear exactly what you're saying. :)
