A little tip.... Make sure your juice passages point to the front and back of the atty not side to side (negative posts) to reduce leaks.... It matters.

Yeah, found that out too, ha ha! I just turned it like that for the picture, lol. :)

EDIT: I didn't read that correctly, I thought you meant the airflow paths. But yeah, I did make the channels front to back, but I still tend to over squonk when not looking. I figured better safe than sorry, and by sorry I mean reaching into a wet pocket, lol.

got my dirty paws on a plume veil this afternoon. One hour and a file, I'm in business.

I bought an Infinite Plume Veil clone and cannot remove the insulators. Any suggestions?

Don't know exactly how that Infinity clone is built but you should be able to unscrew the positive pin then remove the center post and just push out the delrin insulators. Other option if this clone doesn't unsrcew is to drill the sides of the positive pin from underneath parallel to the center post through the delrin insulators all the way through to the deck. Effectively all you want to do is two small holes each side of the positive pin through the delrin so juice can get to the deck.

The pin and center post do unscrew and come out easily. The insulator will not come out. I think it might be glued.

Ok if you have the center post out find yourself a drill bit that fits enough to use to tap the delrin out. I seriously doubt it's glued, it's probably just press fit so give it a good tap pith a drill bit and a hammer and it should come out. I would put the base in really hot water for 5 min then try tapping it out. metal expands with heat and that should help to get the delrin out.
Hope that helps buddy

PS tap it out from the bottom towards the deck not the other way

Hot water and a tap did the trick. I am now the proud owner of a bottom fed Plume Veil.

Thank you again, Captain!
