Did all little repainting, meet whitey, murder (new paint job) and booger. Love the black on black.

Technically, yes. But after the weather so far this March, I may just say screw it and emigrate to FL.
yes, i know this is eons ago, but i have had this issue with two of the v2.? (18650) from sculpteo. i finally figured out a fix tonite after MANY hours of adjustments and tweaking to no avail.
i found the thinnest o-ring i had that was about the diameter of the 510 and put it on the threads of the 510 before screwing the 510 into the peko cap. this solved my problem of the atty popping off and/or not screwing down.
hmmm. i didn't try putting the o-ring on the top of the 510, as i had tried an o-ring on the atty 510 connection ... and of course that did not work cuz it makes the space between the hollow screw and the atty even further - yeh, i was at my wits end and willing to try anything.
i put the o-ring around the threads of the classic itself and then screwed it into the cap/shell so it lifted it off the shell ever so slightly. i just have to say, the one that i did this to works amazing now. even the on/off twist function is working more smoothly. i can't make the connection in my peabrain why that *lift* would affect the on/off, but it did.

this is how the *lifted* 510 classic looks in my vapebuddy's *sea serpent*
she is going to be so pleased when she picks it up this week.
she just HAD to put a touch of glitter on it.
ugh ...

I like this option as it eliminates the need to put an o-ring around the 510 connector to keep juice from seeping out under the atty and it will get rid of the dreaded gap between the atty and the top cap.
Question:
Is there a good source for springs other than those on the spreadsheet? I have built with magnets to avoid the $20-$40 order requirements for the listed vendors. But, I would like to try springs...
Thanks,

If you order from the o-ring store they are listed by ID x thickness so they are 5mm x 1.5mm.
For some touchier atty/FD combinations I have used 5mm x 1mm. These let the atomizer sit a little lower and catch more of the thread. They took a lot of stretching to get on. I have some 6mm x 1mm coming my way.
I have one set to be delivered TODAY. Whoo. I modified my derringer last night to bottom feed. 6 o clock hurry up.
This will be my first bottom feeder. I love the performance of drippers but could never find a tank that satisfied. If they where pushed to the dripper like performance they would always end up drying out on me. I was eye balling the Reo but I just could never get over the aesthetics, its a warthog. I still want one thought they are sturdy mods.
A vender at vape blast in FT Worth had a Peko customized with wood and I would have bought it but they also made is so that it would only accept the skinny atties. It had a tall cup that would have hid most atties and was unsightly.
I looked into the Pekos afterwards and once I got my next paycheck I ordered one.
This one is one of the prebuilt ones. I ordered the Silver\grey with the black ring. I am impatient and had to get a feeder fast.

I received my new 26650 Peko buttons and ring on Monday and have been prepping them to install in my 26650. Should be done with paint and clear coat tomorrow. I would like to add that for anyone that hasn't bought clear coat as of yet, you definitely want the Krylon matte 1311 and not the Rustoleum matte. I will be sanding down the outer finish on my top cap and shell while I have it apart today. The Rustoleum is not a true matte finish as stated on the can and my parts have a glossy shine on them and the finish is also very slippery too. Not happy with Rustoleum... Once I have the new buttons and ring on it I will post pics and some input so far as to the build and performance of the 26650.
