I've been exchanging emails with Rob at Reos mods this evening. The new 510 connectors are being made now, looking at 6- 8 weeks before they are ready. And the 'Haircut' (lowering the juice well on a 'Classic' Grand) and new contacts can be done at any time I'm ready. I think I'll wait until the first of the year or so, then just get it all done to my older style Grand. That way I can start looking into some of the BF dual coils like the Cyclone and/ or the Odin on a Grand solid enough to take to work. I like the way the Super Light looks, but I am not sure it's sturdy enough for life in a Big Truck.....

That would depend if you have a Big Truck or a Large Car. :)

One of the best things about the Army is that everyone can have their preferences, experiences and opinions, then come here and talk about them, explain them, rib each other about them - and still want to hang out and be friends. :)

I was trying to link to a YouTube video of The Hollies "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" in my previous post, now that would have been hilarious !
But I struggle with my Smart(er than me) Phone....

2% Papaw. All you need to be is 2% smarter than your phone.

The Achilles is in the house!

So very pretty, the engraving is lovely. Just took it apart and the threading puts my Kayfun to shame. Doing a quick wash, no oil or gunk visible. Guess I know what I'll be doing this morning.

More later....

Pics? Unless you posted them 4 days later than you posted this. In which case I'll be seeing them soon. :)

I am in AWE of the Sig 100W! I built a 26g dual coil measuring at .4 ohms on the Magma. Wicked with Rayon, dripping 100%VG juice and firing at 30 watts. I cannot give this beast enough juice... 10 drops, 2 - 3 hits later.. gone! 10 more drops.. gone! Rinse, repeat.. Ridiculous!!

It makes sense now why some folks go through juice so fast.

and they all said RJ and I were crazy and no way we were going through that much juices a day. :D

I'm not.. atleast I don't think I am. I still love my Kayfun's so I can't be right?! :confused:

Anyway, I'm about to get started on a 6 wrap, 26g, 1.8", parallel coil.

Hopefully the room clears out by the time I get to firing it..

See you in a bit.. through a cloudy haze! :D

RJ specifically told me she was surprised at how small your clouds were. This is a surprise. :)

Well, as long as we're in atty destruction mode, I may as well show what happened a couple of days ago...

Shut my lift gate right smack onto the ErlK. None of the metal parts were damaged and I was able to use my nano tank with it. I want more juice capacity so I'm waiting for a replacement tank.

and I thought I was hard on equipment. worst I've done is drive over my Paps X Ti with a D5 Dozer. Had to send it to Belgium to get buffed out but they were cool about it. I don't think you can buff that one out.

what kind of thoughts go through a persons head when they trash/loose 100+$ atties and mods..... much less loosing a combo pack of mod atty over 200$....

Mine have been:

"Oh darn, I need to buy another one."

"Oh well. I didn't care for that one anyway. I'll send it to retic and see if BK can fix it for him."

"Aww shucks. I hope perseas can fix this."

"God I hate this mod!" As I throw it out the truck window.
