*NEW* MK1 510 Screwdriver - The one

[Haytoni]

At the bottom of the screwdriver is the switch that has a nice unsealed space(I know in my review I may have inferred that the switch is sealed but it's not, there is an O-ring at the bottom to help keep the battery in the proper place) that I'm sure would be ample space for such ventilation to occur. So, at the bottom there is a screw that goes through a hole in the body and the shaft of the screw goes through a nice ample hole that would act as a vent.

This SD was well thought out to begin with but it's a very good question to direct to Trog @ - The ScrewDriver - An electronic cigarette that simply works .

Also note that, in the SD MKi, if the atty should short, I believe the SD top battery spring will open the circuit .

To see what I'm talking about at the bottom and the O-ring see prof beard's linked review. In it, he has a pretty good photo of the bottom at which I was referring to. When you push on the button you are creating a hole and thus creating ventilation and in addition to this on the outside of the bottom, at the place that the buttons shaft/screw comes out and on the SD body itself is a bored out circle designed in such a way so when the black button is pressed it still allows ample ventilation.

See...not bad for one of the oldest Mods available, eh?

If you are new to Ecigs or PVs and you're looking for a long term cost effective starter kit...I would suggest that you look into a SD(especially now-free SD for 1st 50 who buy a starter kit). The cost at this time is very low and over the long run, you'll be saving tons. I have switched from the joye 510s to the SD Mod and it really does at up...plus you will tire of recharging those smaller batteries every hour or so(if you're a heavy vaper like me) and then after about a month or two you'll need to buy new batteries. The screwdriver will last a day and so much less bother. This was my experience and please take it for what it's worth.

Wish you all the best.

Vape On!!

I have had mine for about 2 months, and do like it a lot, just wish they sent extra springs with it, had to order a replacement spring, and the pkg. came in with the button and a screw which I didn't need. Does anyone know where you can buy just the springs alone, would like to invest, just in the spring it self. The pkg was a bit pricey.

I received mine yesterday-one black, one gold. A thing of beauty and vape very well.

Doh!! I think that order was suppose to go to me!!

That's exactly the order I put in...hows the Gold/Copper look in person?

I guess I'll find out soon, though.

An overheated high-performance atty went bad on me and the SD spring immediately contracted into the top. Trog told me to gently pull the spring back into place, and that's all that was needed to get things working perfectly again. As Drumonron said, some of the gases would vent around the switch, which has some "wiggle" when not pressed.

Great example and appreciate the info this answers some concerns!
I have never experienced a problem in about 6 months of use, personally.
I just had visions pop in my head of my laptop, cellphone, and ipod lithium batteries exploding....
....but...alas...I don't know of many cases of exploding devices....
...and I have worked on many of the aforementioned devices.

(I'm not making light of the possibilities, though...please don't take it that way.)

I think the short attys you are referring are 901 attys (well the SD comes with the RN4075 version of the 901 if you get attys from trog - I really like them)

Can you give us a blurb on the delta of the 901, RN4075 and 510?

The RN4075 is basically a 901 made by a different company - it runs a bit hotter than the original which suits many people.

So, at the bottom there is a screw that goes through a hole in the body and the shaft of the screw goes through a nice ample hole that would act as a vent.

What you describe sounds like it should be sufficient to prevent the SD itself from rupturing in the event of catastrophic battery failure, which is good. As Jumi mentioned, it is possible for a battery to become damaged and burst regardless of external protection circuitry. Any mod needs to have vent holes so that if a battery does fail, it can do so relatively safely.

That's not to say that there's anything safe about a handheld device unexpectedly spewing flammable, high temperature, toxic gasses. But bottling up those gasses until the device you're holding bursts explosively is even worse still. It's reassuring to hear that won't happen with the SD.

Oh no...now the cavecom.com/screwdriver folks are selling the whole SD MKI kits and they will throw a free SD Body in to the first 50 people!! Gulp...stop me already!...must resist!

That free 2nd body decided it for me. After weeks of research and a serious indecisajig choosing between 3.7v and 5-6v mods, AND a month after putting my mall-bought Smoking Everywhere rn4081 in a drawer for good, I orderd:

• mega kr808D-1 batteries with 901 and 510 attomizers (with an adapter for the 510 attys), and some cartomizers -AND-
• the Screwdriver MK1 with free extra body from Trog.

I can't wait to get my new sets! BTW, the kr808D-1 battery was on my short list based on great reviews (e.g. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/64349-kr808d-1-best-e-cig.html), but I finally went with it as my penstyle based on Scottbee's finding that it delivers true 3.7 v under load (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/65055-battery-voltages-surprise.html). I know some (e.g Alex) find the 3.1v output (under load) of the 510 etc. more satisfying. But, as heavy Marlboro 100 smokers, my hubby and I decided we'll probably need the extra power. That's why I had a hard time deciding between 3.7v and 5-6v mods. Some seriously heavy ex-smokers rave about the 3.7v Screwdriver though, so that plus the great free 2nd body offer finally decided it.

Would 25 - 30 cigarettes a day qualify? I don't regret buying the SDs at all. It's very much like smoking analogs, and I question why some people need more than 3.7 volts. Wouldn't that just burn out atties at an alarming rate?

I'm so encouraged to hear you're happy with it. I smoked anywhere from 1 up to 2 packs per day. Some formerly heavy smokers on this forum claim to need 5 or 6v, so I was confused. BUT, I saw many posts by former 2+ pack a day smokers who were totally satisfied with the SD. AND, I saw a lot of posts referring to atty problems at 5-6v. I'm gonna say we made good decisions. GO US!

Heavy smokers would be fine with a SD thats really who its made for. Just up your nicotine level if you need to. Im satisfied with 18mg but I like to vape a lot. I don't have to but just like to 40 + a day smoker would probably need 24 or more likely 36mg strength juice. The 510 also has a bit more of a hit, but nicotine level provides a throat hit.
I used to smoke 15-20 rollups a day, not heavy, but I stopped altogether when I got my first ecig (a 901) and that was by accident, I never tried to quit I soon moved on to the SD and haven't smoked for 12 months. I couldn't have done it without the reliability of the SD.
Im sure you'l be more than happy with it. If you struggle try a higher nicotine level.
Oh and the battery for the SD comes of the charger at 4.2v, i've no idea what it is under load but it stays consistent until it needs charging.

Thanks You may not be the one to ask since you seem happy where you are, but I'm just thinkin ahead. If at some point one or both of us feel we need a stronger hit, I've read that the low resistance (1.5ohm) 510 attys from Nhaler makes 3.7v batts feel like 5-6v. Any feedback on that? I'm still a little unclear on the atty power thing.

pretty Metal SD buttons and big pretty Metal buttons..

oooooo this would be nice, eh?

Eye Candy!!

I've heard that, but thats about all lol. Definately worth a try for you US folks. Sorry I don't know much about them, im sure theres info on it somewhere around the forum. The SD would be an ideal device to use them on.

Drumonron they do look very nice

hmm, very interesting, i've not heard about this?
Someone is going to have to come back with info on this?

I got mine today, I couldn't wait for my SD to give them a whirl. OOOOOOOOOOh lala, do they perform. Basically it is a low resistance 510 atty @ 1.5 Ohms. They should only be used with high rated mah batts. I used mine with my eG0 to try them out and ordered a bunch more. I took my normal 5 sec hit, and friggin choked on it. I reduced the time I sucked down to 3 sec, yeah that's more like it. They produce enough vapor and TH to kick a mule back and put it to shame.

As far as I know you can only get 'em from Nhaler. They were part of a kit at one point in time and available as an "extra" with the "woody". Now they stock 'em separate and based on the hoopla, won't remain in stock very long.

I was looking for these low R Attys on nhaler.com but didn't see them, I'll have to look again...do you have a link? Definitely want to give 'em a whirl. I mean, maybe they're just out of stock at this point in time, y'know.

Low Resistance Magnum Atomizers

If that doesn't work, go to the Phidias Woodimus page. I wouldn't snooze if I were you, they were introduced at vapefest and are the talk of the town. My original order was for 5. I ordered 10 more yesterday.

Nhaler still has them. The link worked. BUT, they are $12 and shipping is $7. I'm gonna have to figure out other stuff I need to spread the shipping cost.

 

[Switched]

Try paying the shipping to Canada $15. I ordered 5 the first time around and the juice special he had going. I ordered 5 first time around to extend the shipping, and to see if they performed like advertised. All I can say is they are not cheap, but worth every penny.
