Fun fun, Munderbuns! The only thing I didn't get was; you bridged the connection btwn silver contact and button stem with resistance wire? Doesn't that have . .. resistance? OH! NO no no no, I get it. duh! 
current is going straight across the brass bridge to the 510 nut. So, .14V total on a . . . 0.7-.8Ω coil? What were you getting with just the BeCu Spring? (I can't search threads . .. . rules, ya' know) [←SOoooo totally lying right there!]

thanks bro! That's good to hear! I was thinking if this piece is worth it. I've always wanted a trophy mod, LOL So how easy or hard is it to work on?
You're basically working with stone I think. I didn't make the divot tool myself (WAY above my level of craftiness) so I'm just guessing for the most part
Master of Bassets...and not much else.
Darn it, that's right... it's freakin' fossilized $420 + buying pdib new tools... better look for another piece..LOL

Complete randomness, but....
How many 1/16th cobalt drill bits does one break in a hand drill before one realizes they should have bought a drill press?
That would be 3 for this idiot with the last one going into my thumb... quite deep I might add. Man I do dumb things sometimes! At least I was wearing glasses. That is all, back to your regularly scheduled program.
Ouch! I've broken at least 3 but none in my fingers. Actually I don't think I've ever run a drill bit into my fingers! That's kind of surprising come to think of it. I did almost cut one (a finger) clean off with a circular saw once... They poured pixidust (read snipped the hamburger off) on it and slapped everything back together and poof just like magic I was high... Er... Um... Well I have fingers still.
I do sympathize with getting appendages caught in machinery. Not fun.

I was getting .21V drop, but that was with the SX30 which had .16V drop itself from internal resistance. The LG has lower internal resistance and a quick check gave .08V so the silver contact & brass jumper is a wash the BeCu spring. But I now have a really soft button press, no Noalox in the upper button area to worry about, hopefully very soon no spring at all when the magnets arrive, no Noalox on the contact, and the silver contact shouldn't need any maintance. (We shall see) Also would most likely mean the Aluminum or Copper plate would be decorative (it is quite good looking though) and not needed if not wanted. (That would need verified by trying it)
With .14V drop it hits like a freight train <==I just made that up (kinda like you not able to search threads)
BTW, those magnets just jump out there and grab tools when working on it but you already know that.
Edit: .7 ohm coil BTW

So my BF Cyclone showed up today. Too bad I don't have a bottom-feeding mod yet, but I digress.
I have two regular (top feeding) RDAs, an Igo-L and a Trident, and compared to them, the Cyclone is, uh.. Tiny!
It was a bugger getting the cap off the first time. The dry o-rings really grip it, but after lubing them with some unflavored juice it goes on and off just right.
The feed/drain hole is right at deck level.
The draw seems a bit tight. I suppose I should build and actually vape it a bit before I take a drill to the air hole, but I don't have a BF mod yet.

I took a Philips head itty bitty screwdriver to the air hole to widen it a bit

Sounds sweet! I like the copper/aluminum plates though. Maybe I'll just skip that element now and again, randomly.
ADDIT: Not you two! You don't sound sweet, you just type quick. I meant Mundybus up there.

Total dumb dumb move on my part, had my hand on the vise and the bit shattered. Never had one shatter like that. Oh well, could have been worse. Looking for inexpensive small drill press. Any suggestions?

Glad you coerced me with that Jedi mind trick to mod OliveR.
Without trying 15 different coils a week and not modding PV's it was getting kinda boring.

I took the bottom o-ring off my Cyclone. It's plenty tight with just one, and doesn't feel like you're pulling a sword out of stone.
I like it that tight. Feels right, and won't make a mess in my pocket
