Local hardware store... modders OCD :-\

[Charged]

Took a trip to the local true value the other day to pick up some paint supplies and as I walked through the store everything I looked at started to turn into an E-CIG.

Seriously: I pulled calipers out of my pocket and started measuring the diameter of every cylindrical item in the building. Curtain rods, lumber roller stands you name it I was measuring it. Even at the counter I was measuring all the flashlights. The clerk just looked at me really strange.

Guess I have the modders bug.

Nice! Get used to it...I do the same thing.

LMAO! I was reading this to my girlfriend and she was laughing because we do the same. I's a disease that some us of suffer from (well...not suffer) but we just learn to live with it!

Guilty too!!!

I need some calipers. I do the same but without measuring. Setting myself up for failure. Speaking of which... what is the diameter ... not sure how to measure a circle lmao... anyways what is the "width" (diameter?) of a 901 e-cig? I need to know so I can figure out what will fit inside it.

He he-it's contagious I guess-also carry different size batteries, attys also-"just in case".

FYI jx-with my ratty ole analog micrometer I come up with a .363" OD measurement on a TW 901 atty

Yep just checked .340"or 11/32" or 8.68mm ID .3635" or 23/64" or 9.24mm OD, hope that helps

Thanks, yes that helps. My modding has gone full borosilicate. Not the atomizer coil but instead the entire housing. So measurements are no longer problematic when trying to dertermine what size porcelain wire nut will fit inside someone else's design constraint . But I am going to try to make it as small as possible. Also going to make the battery housing spring loaded so that it fits any size battery(ies). I am attempting to take away all constraints.
