I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. Can't wait to start building. I can see myself selling a Reo and building a few of these.
You know what's funny big B, i actually did that! I use to love my Reo's but the second I got my first Peko and built it, it was a game changer. My beloved Reos began to collect dust.. so I sold an LP grand with some fancy things and and an LL Odin on top. That funded 2 more full prints and extra parts. I can't not get enough of my Pekos. They really are, to me, the handsdown best bottom fed device out there.

And it's all cheers to GDeal!

Scratching my head how one might do that. The delrin already has a 3mm threaded hole in it. The standard "tap drill" size for 6-32 is a #35, which is 2.794 mm, and 7/64" is a bit smaller than that.

BTW, you're not supposed to "force" a tap though. You screw it in some, and you back off and clean the cuttings out of the flutes when you feel resistance build. Then you screw it in some more. Lather, rinse, repeat. ;)
This would have been helpful when I was building mine a while back lol. I broke the bottom part off my delrin, but then again I had never tapped anything before. Had to buy a tap set lmao. Will remember this next time lol!

Perhaps if you prefer an unregulated vape. Of course for those of us who like the consistency (and battery life) of a regulated device, there's the gDNA. Take gDNA guts and put them in a wood shell, and then you've got what to me is the holy grail. :D

I've been having thoughts of a big vape yard sale lately. I keep narrowing in on my "perfect" setup and leaving gear behind. My derringers have me thinking about selling my Odins, the peko has me thinking about selling a reo or two, etc. plus I have a whole drawer full of Kayfuns and regulated tubes and old tanks and stuff I could clean out. Might be enough for a few more pekos and a few more derringers. Hmm. Maybe a peko fatty :D

Yes I'm an unregulated kind of guy. I have tried chips and just prefer mechanical. Everybody's different. To me, the Peko and the future of Peko is going to be amazing. I'm sure Peko 5.0 would be flat out amazing!

I just cut the tip with snips and cleaned up with exacto knife lol!
That is exactly what I did with 2 of my pekos. Snip with a scissor even the tip where there is a visible line. Works like a charm. Measured the opening just for giggles turned out to be 4.1mm. I say perfect :D

uhhh sorry didn't mean to make ya have to do that J.i heard the lil snap and knew what had happened right away.so from there on ive been drilling then tapping.i didn't tap the one that broke with it in the 510 housing so idk if that is why it snapped or not.ive been tapping them with the delrin in the 510 housing since and no probs since



I can't even see how this is possible without hitting it with a hammer while the tap is inside. The original 3mm tapped hole isn't but a tiny bit smaller.

This will be the post to make me change my sig to a disclaimer.....LOL.

polished white peko jit made it from France this AM,nice!.also got a 10% off coupon code for the next print I have made.the 26650 in some sort of color is GONNA be my next one,just have to figure out the color I want forever.hmm
You mean it shipped and you got it 1 day later? If so that's impressive. My orders took about 3-4 days from France to pa. Not bad either. Now this last order is lagging. I ordered almost 2 weeks ago and it still says in que..

At least putting the lug the wrong way is an easy fix!! Put your Reo in the classies or the Reos Mods facebook page. Mine sold within 5 minutes!
