Modding a Mod (Phidias)

[Para]

I traded some juice for a few Terminators so I decided to gut my Phidias and make it a VV. Since I was gutting everything not wood I added a checkvalve juice feeder and adapted it to the 901 attached by a low profile adapter. Modding a mod and adapting an adapter.

The biggest difference in the feeder is no more turn it upside down and wait for the juice. Just pump once for a couple of drops.

Sweeeeeeet

Nicely done. I still can't come to grasp why the Phidias needed to be inverted to feed.

Nice compact VV add on, It would drive me nuts having it outside the case under the atty. The inversion wonkiness just because there was no tube inside the bottle?

That's really cool. You probably have the one Terminator that won't fall apart.

Well I guess that's a matter of opinion. I built a ....-feeder based on Fono's no down tube design and found it to be a revelation. No more watching for liquid to start oozing out the bottom of the atty and gravity takes the liquid right to where it should be, not pooled in the bottom. It's also almost impossible to flood, The bottle press is always the same, full or almost empty, and if you use Fono's beer bottle analogy it's self feeding. And you simply have to tilt it down a few degrees past horizontal, 'upside down' maneuvers are not needed.

Nice Mod I like it.

My bad for not being clearer....I was quoting another Phi owner's terminology. With this feeder you can keep it vertical and feed the atty

Nice mod! I'd love to see some details of how you fit the VV components in that little tube and how you adjust the voltage.

Great job with the suck-and-draw self feeder too!

I'd love to see detail on both feed systems. My pump works great but if there's something better out there I want to try it!

I certainly can't take credit for that; It's called a Terminator. I traded some ejuice for a few of them and figuring how to use a couple.

I'd love to know what parts are crammed in there as well......

The small screw in the side of the tube is the adjustment
