My fire button barely moves at all now that everything is put together. From what I have read the throw is very short. I just want to be sure the bottom is supposed to barely move even when I take the screw out or is it time to disassemble?
An acetone strip should work fine. It doesn't hurt the nylon at all. I had to remove some black paint. It ended up a little grey but repainted just fine. The nylon wasn't hurt at all.
I sprayed the sealant (Krylon 1311? matte) in the shower. I had the exhaust fan running and the door closed. My wife didn't complain or even comment on the smell.
So it would seem i just couldn't wait till the weekend to build my Peko. I do need to take the button back apart and put the lighter spring in it. Other than that it was pretty easy to do. I did wind up with a little blem on the side of the top cap as it came in contact with the ring while the clearcoat was still wet. Didn't have any sandpaper on board to fix it as yet. Will fix that when i take it back apart later. Surprised by the feel and overall vape of this thing. I think it might actually hit a little harder than my grands.[emoji51]
Good looking peko mike. I feel the same way about my peko. It definitely hits harder than my reo at low resistance builds. I did a voltage drop test a while back and confirmed that info. The form factor is what I really fell in love with. Once u get your switch dialed in it really is a tough mod to beat IMO.So it would seem i just couldn't wait till the weekend to build my Peko.

Looks great Mike. Glad to see it together and you enjoying it. I love how lightweight it is. I feel like I'm holding nothing and yes it hits like a tank. It will hit even harder if you do the solder mod. Solder the lugs and or solder a 16g wire in there. I used wire cause the button moves up and down smoother that way.
Anyway, I dig it.

Muzikhead, that looks great! I had to do the same thing with the button. It was just to tight.
When I first tried the Peko I could not believe how hard that thing hit. It was much harder than my Grand. I like the feel in my hand with no corners and just a touch smaller.

You may like the setup replaced with soldered wire, but if anything it increases VDrop, not reduces it
Hum... I don't see it that way. Wouldn't a direct solder to screw threads on the fire pin and to the 510 retainer ring be the least VDrop? It would eliminate both washers/solder-lugs and screw nut pinning hardware.
I agree with this. Eliminating friction connections should provide the least resistance provided the conductor can carry the load efficiently. If the fire pin solder lugs were one solid piece of becu it would be a different story IMO.
We could effectively turn the connection from fire pin to 510 into one solid piece with what I suggested.
I'll try to attach pic I took on my way out this morning to show example of direct pin to collar connection. Just add solder

It will be hard to tighten that 510 ring with a wire soldered on. I think we need the solder tab there.
I was going to solder directly to the collar and bolt. But decided to cut down the solder tabs and solder the wire to those. My setup has been great no problems and fires/ hits hard every time.

Should I clear coat, paint, and clear coat again? Or skip the first clear coat?
