New Hammer mod

[Ragnald Thorson]

I just got a new Hammer mod (clone, I think. Not really sure how to tell yet) from e quake. It's pretty cool, but I'm having some problems that I think are battery related. It was hitting pretty good before I charged the battery. I'm using an Efest 1600 18650 3.7v battery. I don't really like the long battery, since I have to use the extension "tube" and it really takes away from the hammer look of the mod. Is there a better battery that I should be using? Also, any modifications that I should use to make this hammer really hit would be greatly appreciated!

maybe try taking it apart and cleaning everything, not sure what else would cause it to not hit as hard after the battery is charged.

only battery you can use without the extension is an 18350. aw makes the best, but the capacity and current limit are both significantly less than the 18650.

from what i've heard, the hammer's design tends to make it not as conductive as a typical tube mod, so you may notice that it doesn't hit as hard as something like that.

finally, yes, it is a clone - real hammer is made by kato, goes for around $200-250, and is never in stock anywhere.

I'll give it a try, but I don't really think it needs to be cleaned yet. I just got it Friday night. Maybe I'm not getting a good connection somewhere. Thanks for the advice.

The Hammers (even the original, from what I've heard) have serious problems when it comes to voltage drop. The 510 pin is the main culprit, and you'll most likely need to get a new top cap (the King and Chi You top caps should fit) or mod it in some way. Many have replaced the positive pin with a solid piece of brass. I took out the pin, put a longer brass 510 screw into my Kayfun 3.1 and extend it through the top cap to have a semi hybrid set up.

AW or purple Efest 18350s are the way to go, but make sure not to have too low of a resistance on your atomizer.

Will the King firing button work with the hammer clone as well?

Update, I shaved down the plastic tube inside of the copper tube, and got an AW 18350 battery and now my hammer's vaping like a champ.

I kind of like mine with an 18490. The hammer should have come with 2 extension tubes and using one of them it fits an 18490 or 18590 (the 18590 left threading exposed so I use the 18490).

Whats the orientation of the battery in the hammer?

Can anyone post direct links to replacement firing buttons for this

I have the e-quake and have been trying to figure out how to fix the 510 spring issue. I've gone through two springs already. Any suggestions on either a better higher-quality spring, or another idea to mod it? I've been searching the almighty Google, but haven't found much on the e-quake clone.

I would assume if someone knew what they were doing, could gold plate the 510, and connections to make it more conductive, thus making it a better mod.

I just took the spring out and replaced it with a jumble of copper wire.
Just stuffed it in there enough to make contact but not too much that the contacts can't compress a bit.
Been like that for close to a year now no problems yet

I have used both silver cooling paste for CPUs and those circuity markers to increase conductivity in mechs the only bad thing is you have to redo it every one in a while.
Also you could get a jeweler to silver plate it if possible, I did that to my m16 clone and it makes a huge difference in conductivity.
