I'm confused over the wires in a mechanical thing. What purpose are they serving?

Connection of the battery's negative pole mainly

edit: Just had a closer look and Rob in using wire on the positive pole as well.

Just for your info a mechanical is a mod with no regulation and since wood isn't a conductor of electrical current he has to use wire. It's not an issue, all Woodvils are made in the same way. In fact this new one has a mechanical switch

So here is the prototype
It has the old 510 connection the new mod will have a stainless adjustable 510 connection .
Still no magnets I ordered larger magnets for this mod .
All the contacts will be gold plated as you can see there not at this point .
The on off switch is built into the push button much like a grands . I made the through hole much larger hang ups should not be a problem .
Turn the push button to 9 o clock the mod wont fire .
I sleeved the push button with nylon I was worried if I didn't humidity could cause problems for some people in humid climates .

My thoughts as well..You could mold Micarta around a solid copper wire and add a switch and place for a battery and 510 connection and it would still be a mechanical.

I'm amped! Just can't wait for this sale!


Oh, and Honkey: I'm running a .22 ohm in my grand right now, and have had it in there for 5 weeks - take about 5-6 second hits off it with no issue. I don't think I'll go any lower without doing a fuse mod though.

How do you use .2 in a REO? I got spring sag at .25

I'm running .2 ohm as I speak and have ran .2 ohm coils on and off since I've had my grand and have never experienced any problems. Do you have the gold contacts for sub ohm?
