I know this isn't the right thread to discuss this, but since we have already dived into a few time, found out something interesting tonight that I thought I would share. My Derringer was too hot for me on the DNA40 as I run full 40 watts and 3mm coils at around .18 ohms and nickel. Since I didn't like it, just tossed it of to the side as is. The other day, think I grabbed to see what it looked like on the Peko (and love the look on a peko) and/or maybe take pics. Never did change out the coil. Not thinking I started using it. Awesome....hits like a freight train. Never dawned on me until tonight that I still have the nickel coil in there. So does anyone else run a pure nickel coil on a mech? Or did I make a stupid mistake and come up with something cool? Either way, it is cool and news to me. I am sure battery life is going to drain quick, but it ain't died yet. So we will see. But was curious if others do this?
I have never tried nickel, period. Didn't think it would fire on a mech! Interesting to say the least. Is nickel way more expensive than a roll of kanthal? I use Temco. Mad cheap and free shipping..

..I wish I would of thought of your quote. Maybe I'll write on it "Cancer Killer"

Yep, the graffiti pics inspired me.

Not sure inhaling burnt nickel is too good for you D_J, without temp control, you'll overheat the NI

Got me a Derringer. Oh yeah and it's up and sqounking! Thanks DrunkJ for the inspiration! I was waiting on my fat daddy order to get here, i have a few stainless posts and bottom fed ready m2 posi screws coming. But I couldn't wait so I ripped apart my Rogue which is very close in spec's with the Derringer. The center post and screw on the Rogue was already prepared for b/f. So I ripped out the copper post that came in the Derringer and replaced it with the Rogue post. Fills and Drains well and hits like a freakin train!

Under the hood modification pics coming in a minute!

Thanks for the clarification Mark.... Ive been checking out the GDna thread...and it honestly feels too complicated for my abilities.

Perhaps it would be better to wait for a DNA40 squonker to come to market. Will see what transpires in the bottom feeder thread...I know a few guys have modded to add DNA 40.

Thanks
Geo

Yep your welcome. The Peko is already as small as it could possibly get and there is literally only room for the battery, bottle and a few nuts n bolts haha. The tolerances are so tight but that's why I love it! It's an 18650 with a 9mL bottle and it's not much bigger than my Reo 18490! I sold a Reo to fund another Peko!

Hey Geo, there are several DNA40 squonkers on the market right now. You just have to be in the right place at the right time to get them. If you are ever on FB, Ken, (Kentastic), started a page where you will see them daily... Here's a link... https://www.facebook.com/groups/657605437680013/
