This really looks amazing. How "hard" is it to change battery/bottle? They seem kinda stuck there.
I know its not that hard, but when you're changing on a regular basis, does it feel a bit... umm... tricky(?) to squeeze stuff back in?

It's not "hard" but it is definitely tricky. Because this isn't a tube, if the bottle isn't next to the battery, the battery can pop out and not fire. It's also tight to help keep the kick in place. What I do is remove the bottle, then put the kick under the positive terminal. Then I use the bottom of the battery to compress the ground spring and slide it in under the kick. Afterward, I pop the bottle in next to the battery and spin the kick to make sure it's got good contact on the grounding plate. That's pretty much all there is to it. I can't do it as quickly as I could with a tube mod but I'm sure within a week, once the ground spring loosens up a bit and I've had a little practice, it'll be a piece of cake. FYI, it fires so consistently, every time, alek did a great job setting this thing up for a kick!

Thanks. I'll definitely keep an eye on that gem, its actually the first box mod that I really liked (visually).

Awesome. I saw a pic of a tank a while back and I have not been able to find it since. I took a guess based on just shopping everywhere I could find and determined it must be the Nhaler VPX Cartomator mini in Satin. Is that indeed what you have on the mini? I have one that should arrive tomorrow unfortunately well before my mini is due to arrive. Also, I saw they sell that solid tank sleeve on the Nhaler site, do they also fit on the VPX Cartomator or do you have to buy those end caps that they sell separately. I think I saw where those solid tanks come in mini size and satin colored but not sure if I could just replace the standard tube with the solid one. Hope I made sense.

Oh, is that drip tip on the mini in satin also, it looks like it is. Where did you get that, didnt see it on Nhaler but could have missed it.

Hi Dirquist! That is what i have on the mini and the Precise Plus. What I did was order one regular size (3 ml) satin bevelled end caps tank with a charcoal gray tube, and then a second regular size (3 ml) satin (non-bevelled) end caps tank with a blue tube. I also ordered a satin stainless steel tube from Nhaler. I used the non-bevelled end caps and used them for the "bottom" of both the blue and the stainless steel tanks, and then took the bevelled ends and put them on the ends of both tanks. A cheaper way to do it to make one tank, would be to buy the non-bevelled end cap satin tank, and then buy one of the bevelled end caps separately. The satin black provari has a delrin vpx cartomator on it with an XL sized red tube. The drip tips are from super T manufacturing - the mini has the "shorty" widemouth T-Tip in satin stainless steel, the precise plus has the regular widemouth t-tip in satin stainless steel, and the black provari has the regular widemouth t-tip in polished stainless steel. I think these are the best drip tips out there, personally.

MikeE3 - I really appreciate the compliment on the composition of the photo, had a rough day at work today and that brought a smile to my face :)

This is what I got,View attachment 86531

HAPPY VAPE DAY!!:vapor:

Good on you. lol....that's what I have to do every time I spend money on myself....except when I trade cars. She refuses to give up her old one; but, it never relieves my obligation to come up with a consolation gift. Last time it was a tennis bracelet.

She's happy, I don't get punished.
