What's the "ID" of that M4???
I use A7 minis all the time. (9mm bore)
Same internal diameter as an old 510 atomizer
The M4 is 14mm. I have one of those A7 atties laying around somewhere.
Look what I found from the old days!

Oh my, I quoted OD not ID. The ID of the M4 is actually 8.5mm. That's the inner diameter of the deck.

I only have 10 of them. 5 siting on my desk & now 5 HCigar Caravela's never opened and in the zombie box.
(at $4.99 each, how could I not have extras)My first mechanical was a Mako Midi (2010, and it still works & looks like new)
I also have 2 Silver Bullets and an Omega

These are in play right now, and I literally just snapped this shot.
The beauty ring and bottom cap on left, and the Twin thingie on the right. I still have one of their carto-punches around here somewhere too. Good stuff!
S'more from 2013 during my early days of vaping... I bought a couple of SMOK RSST's. They were my first genesis style atty's.
And the last genesis atty bought 1/2016 was a NoName NoGain that I drilled out for DL.

Found these while going thru some storage boxes late this week. My souvenir military issue ashtrays that I used when I served from 1967-1971. I also used them off and on after when I smoked cigs off and on until early 2013. I had cleaned them the best I could for these pictures I found that were taken 1/7/2017 before I put them away in the box.
This one was the standard enlisted men's issue back then... aluminum with a removable lid to empty them. They held ALOT of butts/ashes, but were nasty and smelly if you didn't keep them clean.
And a comshaw one I got from an Officers Mess. This chrome and black enamel one's top knob was pushed down to spin the bottom down - around and around to dump the butts/ashes into the black chamber before it popped back up to seal in the smell. The entire chrome top comes off to dump/clean them.
Sort of OT I guess but defiantly from the old, old, old days... and they brought back many mostly good memories.

I had one of those. It was like the first mod, ever, that used replaceable batteries. Ordered the mod from a modder in the U.K.. But, I remember having to buy the batteries for it. Had to talk to a certain guy in China. It felt like I was doing a drug deal. lolol
It was a vast improvement over anything that was out at the time. Cutting edge. haha
By the time I was in the Army, they weren’t issuing ash trays but a lot of people still smoked. Cigarettes were about $9 a carton at the PX.
I had the spinner, it could get pretty nasty, too.
Your tour of duty must have been long after mine. During my military days a carton of cigarettes was $1.10 at either a base or ship PX. Where I lived prior to going into the Navy IIRC a pack/carton was around $0.45/$3.50. The cheap was especially necessary when still in boot camp for 2+ months... the pay was $1 a day (if you got paid at all -I didn't for 5 months, they lost my pay records) and we were only allowed to bring $5 to camp and have in our possession per month no more than $5 t a time when we also had to buy shaving gear, tooth gear, stationary/pen, etc with some left over for the Gedunk machines for some junk food after three squares of military chow (that left a lot to be desired sometimes). To get past boot I earned money from other boots by taking pictures of them to send home with a 1930's Kodak Bullet camera/film that I snuck into boot (my dad carried it during his service time to the Marshall Islands, Iwo Jima and to occupy Nagasaki after we dropped Fat Man on it). A local San Diego beach babe processed the film for me.

It could but not near as fast. As you can see in the picture above mine is tarnished so wouldn't come all the way back to squeaky clean.
I used the Serenity gear sleeves all the time, none of them had any kind of lanyard attachment, I did not like the idea of hanging one around my neck. This picture shows some of them, for some reason I think I have more then this picture shows.

Yes, much later. I joined in 1989 and went through 6 months of training to be a Patriot missile system mechanic. Not long after I went to my permanent duty station, the gulf war started and I was sent on an advance party to Saudi Arabia. It was nine months there before we got rotated out with fresh troops.
