Modding Supplies... Calling all canadian modders!

[BuzzKilla]

I have been browsing the Internet for a single place that has:
0-80 Tap
17-16 gauge hypodermic tubing
0-80 machined screws

I thought this was going to be easy, considering all this is easily available on amazon, but they wont ship the 0-80 Tap to Canada

I am trying to find a place that has this all under one roof as to save on shipping costs. all these items can easily fit in an envelope, and i dont see a reason to get these supplies shipped from different locations across the map.

Has anyone found a place than can do this?

My Google-Fu ability is exhausted....

Have you tried Brafasco?

Or Lee Valley or Busy Bee?
The 17-16 gauge hypodermic tubing is going to be the problem. What lengths do you need?

 

[BuzzKilla]

realistically i only need a foot of the stuff...

the problem with most brick and mortar places, is they dont carry 0-80 tap and screws... only found it online.

Never tried brafasco though, completely skipped my mind... will be going there tomorrow! Fingers crossed

Instead of burning gas, i decided to fire off some emails to the customer service department of the above mentioned.
hopefully i will get a reply with good news.

I will post results for search purposes, in case anyone else out there is building their own repairable atties

If what you need are short 1 inch lengths of tubing, you can look at buying some of these and cutting them off

There is a TSC store in Uxbridge just north east of Toronto.

So most of the places here in Canada were a bust.
Everyone pushed me to US suppliers for the Taps (it was nice of them to send me links).
I would have to end up sourcing the screws, tubes and taps from different locations.

BUT, the guys over at Component Supply Co. helped me out by sourcing out the taps from one of their partners, and sold me the SS tubes & machine screws they had in house.

I dont know if they do this regularly, but it was really nice of them, and worth noting.

So i got what i was looking for:
- a company that ships to my door with no issues.
- exactly what i wanted in the quantity that i needed it in.
- everything from one location.

Swarm of repairable bottom-feeding attys, here i come!
One for each mod!


That is the end of my story.

You have opened the door now.
You now required to post project info and pics.

I'm in for one

I actually am looking forward to see the final product and how it works.

Helpful build thread will be created in the "Modding -> Atomizer" section, when all parts are here and my first build is complete....
I'll link it in this thread, cuz i like gloating!

I like simplicity, and i think i got it down, so that my repairable atty is the size of a standard 510 atty... lol



This is what i made using sewing needles as posts, it works perfectly but getting kanthal through the eye of a needle is annoying...

supplies are for a post with screws version

I will not entertain offers to make them for others, but i have and will continue to make them for friends...
Those with my cell # can text me or meet at the local GTG

These are easy to make yourself and the build thread will be picture heavy to assist with the tutorial.
