Wow, nothing for 11+ hours?!? Y'all alright??

my whole deck is positive, the whole deck is an insert and gets + from the center post that screws in from the center of the 510 right into the deck hole, the deck is notched to fit snuggly around the neg post with an insulator between the deck and neg post and the whole deck sits into another insulator cup isolating it from atty ground. I've got to take it all apart now that I've tested it all day to put a final polish on everything to remove all the micro scratches from machining, when I do I'll get you internal picsthe way I did this would work perfect on your atty, you could make the deck 2 halves of a circle so one half is + and the other -, could still do your side set screws if you don't want posts on a setup like this. I thought about doing that myself but don't see any reason not to have the 2 posts for me personally, I like the posts and building on it is easy
I'm curious why you chose to cut a notch in the deck rather than an over-sized hole for the neg post? At first glance it would appear easier to just insulate the negative post since you already have the insulation cup for the deck but perhaps I'm missing the obvious here. I hope this isn't seen as criticism, I'm just wondering out loud really ...
well the notch technically is an oversized hole, it's just that the edge of the hole is past the edge of the deck so the hole hangs off one edge, making it a notch instead of a hole. a hole wouldn't work because the neg post is right up against the wall of the atty so there's no clearance on the other side of the neg post for it to go through the deck, plus being notched allows it to be assembled after the neg post is in place because the neg post is now pretty much permanently fixed there, if it was a true off centered hole then it would look like a "C" but then I wouldn't be able to insert it so the notch winds up being a "U" so it can fit over the post without having to thread through a tight fitting "C" type hole
Ah, I see, I knew you did it that way for a reason of course ... Thanks Turbo!
Additionally, the ease of assembly factor is a pretty big plus that I had not even considered. Nice work!
honestly I didn't put so much thought into this beforehand, no sketches or any thoughts as to design at all when I started playing with this atty, I just took all the original guts out and started drilling and playing around with ideas as I went and it just came together like this. I would honestly say that I kinda stumbled on this design as I built it, rather than designing it in my head before I started. I just went with what I had on hand and made it work. I don't have tiny precision taps so I couldn't make my posts with tiny post screws the way most atties would be so I came up with the idea of using nuts and a thru hole on the post like I've seen on some gennies. those retaining ring nuts are just regular 6 sided stainless steel #6 nuts from home depot that I just cut down to a minimal round size... the smallest bit my drill chuck could hold is 1/16" so I had to make my post holes 1/16" which is pretty huge but it works and I can fit dual mm into it easily if I ever wanted too
if I had to do it again I would probably change the posts to something smaller but I just went with what I had at the time, I was trying to build the whole thing start to finish in one night but winded up having to finish it the next night... if I spent too much time thinking and planning and obsessing over it then it would have been different, more complicated, and probably still not even be done yet

Well, T-cad, it looks great! Wish I could take it for a test drive. Your ideas are infectious; so I took a few minutes to test your telescoping drip tip idea. Didn't have to take the time and creative effort to modify my atty. . . . .. so I just cut a length of brass tube, pickled it, and made it snug in one of my drip tips. I won't share results. It's your idea. I'll leave the grand finally to you.
the tube is a snug fit in the drip tip, so I can push it up or down but it stays where I leave it. The tip is plastic, so I won't short out if I touch bottom.

images not showing... so does it change and tune the flavor like I think it would? I'm dieing to know but haven't had a chance to make a bushing and sleeve yet
Did I hear crickets? That's my queue!
I received my Odin and finally had a chance to build it. Thank you Turbo for the recommendation. This thing is great. I really like that its a solid 2 piece and its easy to build on.
Juice hole right at the deck:
My favorite 12 wrap Nichrome 80, 1/16th ID
A little 2mm ReadyWick (Nextel XC132)
Double that:
I'm really happy with it. I'll give it some time for the coils to break in but so far the flavor is great and the clouds are thick and chewy. For now, I still like my Zenith a little better. I haven't done a lot of tweaking yet. I'm guessing if I give it a little cotton bed like my Zenith it may just knock the Zenith of its pedestal and take the throne. YMMV
I drilled the juice hole's through and through using a 1/16th cobalt bit. (Credit goes to a certain Bee for technique and success)
Vapes like a BEAST!!!

images are up. i forgot the " / ". you really don't want to discover for yourself first?
yeah the odin is huge bang for the buck, that looks awesome, and those ain't no cell phone pics neither, that's for sure
In other matters. I think I'm making a slight change in the new squonk hole. A few people wanted the new, and at least half of them only for reasons of strength. I thought, myself, that it was a bit too . . . .. . "dynamic". I wanted something friendlier. The top drawing is what I presented. The bottom is the "improved" version. In my opinion, it's friendlier, more balanced, and less demanding on the eye. The only difference here is the radius of the top corner. The bottom radius remains at 1/2". The top went from 5/16" to 1/2". On both the "classic" and the new versions, I'm moving the squonk hole up a bit (I honestly feel that every little bit helps a lot). Measuring from the bottom of the body, it used to start at 7.5mm and end at 29.5mm: now it's 9mm and 31mm. Also, the radius of corners on the classic is going from 5/16" to 3/8".
Fascinating stuff, I know.
Hold on to your hats, kids!
there's room for a brief comment period. What, with the atty and all, the weekend didn't end up being about squonk hole cuts. I'm cutting today and starting with the "classic" mods.

no, I want to know what you think... I'm betting it does work but don't know for sure until you tell me
Initial impression is that it does work. I could still go a little lower with it. I've yet to try that. Increase in TH and acidity (high notes, treble ). I did a little further comparison between a wider bore tip and narrower (no tube). Same difference there. Meaning: with a straight, larger bore tip, I get the mellowest vape . .. . even a bit muted maybe. With a narrow bore tip, a bit more acidity and TH. With the telescope tube, I get yet more bright flavor and a bit more TH. I think, with the build I have in there, I'm pulling more air under the coil, in a more focused/concentrated fashion.
