Red Sky Mods

[36tinybells]

Ahoy Capt' Brian, I have been waiting all day to ask what things to buy for my lovely, lovely mod! Thanks so much, pardon me if I keep saying that for a while! I know I need a charger, buy what atty is best with this 5 volt? I have? 510 atties. Do you recommend anything in particular? How about taking care of that beautiful wood? I have been reading the forum but it it is 430 pages!

 

[36tinybells]

okay, just saw above post- how did I miss that! So Howard feed and Wax for the wood- done.

 

[Drottwiler]

I guess I'm just old. But I like to rub my woods all over with mineral oil.

 

[36tinybells]

Is that better than the Howard Feed and Wax? I plan to treat this baby well!

Thanks for the contest & congrats to the winners!
Here is one vote for a new Thead captain
I don't own a mod yet and I am eager to learn more. Do I start back at page 1?

newbie2ec, there's a lot of good info in this thread...I've been reading it and lurking since cappy got started. I just save my pennies and learn --and drool over great mod pics and puppy pics!

howard feed and wax can't be beat IMO
I use it on wood thats dried out even and makes it like new..a bottle goes a long ways and smells like oranges..

Thanks much violetvoo! Btw, saying your name out load made my cat look at me like I'm nuts! Any advice on atty/carto at 5volts for starting out? Regular 510?

reg 510's work..I use 306's too...I recommend getting a couple of each and playing til you see what you like..
I use some hr's 3.5 ohm's too when vaping 5 or 6v..

 

[36tinybells]

Thanks, just put them on the list, with the Howard Feed and Wax. Can't wait to try this!

 

[Capt' Brian]

To answer your previous question about batteries, it takes two 18350 batteries to power the 5v circuit board, and yeah a regular ohm atty should work just fine, 3.5 to 5 ohm give or take a bit.

SO Cappy have you found a name for your new son yet?

SO Cappy have you found a name for your new son yet?

Not yet, he's still "Hey Dog, Yo Stupid" but we will think of something.

Got him in to the vet today, he has a mouth infection, yeast infection from matting, hook worms from the kennel probably, is 20 pounds underweight (so have to wait until we feed him up to get a Rabies booster) and is still a playful, mild mannered dog. Poor guy ...

Evening Cappy & mateys. Thunderstorms kept me away(lightening and pcs don't play well).

From what I have read, over tightening compresses the gasket between the +/- and produces the short. Of course can push the center pin where the atty will not fire also. Since I use an adapter w/801, I am ever cautious when installing an atty and the adapter is screwed into the atty, not connector. Just snug enough to fire is all one needs;-)

Ahoy! All the prizes have been tested, bubbled, packed and ready for shipping on tomorrows tide, arrr.


Has anyone noticed on occasion if you screw in an atty too tight, it seems to short the atty connector and kill power?

I found the only thing to do is remove the atty then remove the battery for 5 minutes (to let the chip reset) and try again, this time holding the fire button down and slowly screwing on the atty until it starts to sizzle. I wonder if it is slight size/tolerance differences between atty connector and atty as it only happens once in a while.

Just curious if anyone has experienced this or has a better answer to why it happens

Yer hooks must be needin a slight delicate touch adjustment. Some Attys & carto center pins need adjusting out the box. Such high tech close tolerance's via China ya know it is mate.
Sometimes, ca ca occurs and be thankful the batt's didn't dump hard and fry chit.

Poor dog. Damn people for treating animals like that.

I'm so happy he has you now.
