I hear you, but I think it's important, so I'm not backing off. If someone blows up a mod in a croweded place its more ammo for the ANTZ.. I doubt reporters will be talking about battery misuse.. instead they will be highlighting how vaping is dangerous to everyone... framing it as if mods just spontaneously explode.

If they really looked into it they'd see that it was spontaneous combustion of people. It happens, I've seen it on TV :)

Okay here is what I did to the A7.
Just added insulator and a wick, and put an air hole on same side of top cover as the coil.

Here is the insulator:


Here is the coils and wick:


Here is the Plume Veil:


Next time will use angled file on bottom screw.



Ended up single coiling it at .5ohms. The extra coild did not make the juice taste the way I like it.

And a nice bed of wick to grab all that delicious juice!

Seems like a lot of wick for that catch cup, no? before I resquank I'll show the deck on my K6 - the airflow port is a bit lifted (i assume to prevent juice from leaking down the air hole when used how its designed.. as a standard dripper)

I wonder if there is any sacrifice in power to the atty by cutting down the surface area of the positive pin... seems there would be more internal resistance to the atty as there is less path for the power to travel, though I wonder how much and if it really matters given the size of the post :) probably negligible as long as you aren't super sub ohming.

I cut the insulator on my tobh before doing the fatdaddyvapes center pin conversion, having the center pin conversion defiantly squanks a lot better/easier, and there is also juice left in the resivour as it doesn't drain from a low point on the deck (its probably 1-2mm above the deck on the center post).

So I discovered something about my Reo this evening. Be careful when the occasional times you may have turned your juice bottle. Inadvertently I unscrewed the connection where the feed tube goes to the 510 connection EVER so slightly, not enough to flood anything but enough to not be ideal for squonking and enough to send a bit of juice behind the delrin and down the inside of the body. Got everything cleaned up and tightened up and shes working perfectly again. Lesson learned, she's liquid tight again though and feeding beautifully :)

I put the extra cellular cotton in the bottom intentionally. I tried it with less before and did not like it when the REO ended up in a less than vertical position with the air hold pointing down. With the cellular filling the drip well what is not absorbed goes right back in to the bottle, and no need to worry about leaking through the air hole.

I was ready to write them off they played so bad that first half. That second half was amazing! And especially those last two nail-biting minutes!

Romo looked terrible the first half. Even when he had time he couldn't hit his receivers. Took sacks instead of just throwing the ball away. I just knew he was going to blow it like he has in years past. Luckily he pulled his head out of his a.. the second half.

I think he is used to making it happen and scrambling out of trouble but that def was on him hard in the first half and he just could not get it going.

I agree, but I just have this distrust of Romo from years past. I just know in an important game he's gonna blow it at a critical time.
Happy to be wrong today though. It's kinda funny that he has had his best year after back surgery. Makes me think of Payton Manning and how well he has done since his career ending neck surgery.:)

I sure seen him make some bad decisions over the years and at critical times but I am not too hard on him. I think he is a great QB and even great QB's need a good line and running game in order to consistently make miracles happen. It is nice that they put together a good year and the defense has been a pleasant surprise after last season. Next week will be another tough game in Green Bay but win/lose/draw it has been a good season to be a Cowboys fan.....

I remember looking at that one when I was checking out RDAs to mod.
Not much for a juice resivoir is there?

actually, its not bad... I tilt it back away from the air holes I drilled (2 1/16) - did a 10 second squank, I just chain vaped about 70 mouth to lung hits, with 1-2 second pulls before it started to taste burnt. I've got 1" or so of wick in there. I wick the coil then tuck the ends between the posts and under the juice tube. I've currently got a .8ohm parallel 28 ga coil in there.

Edit: I did the parallel build because 3/32 burned up all the wick in the coil and I needed to go bigger (this is 7/32) - wanted it to be a bit higher, but I'll stick with it for now. Wicked with JC

I am glad that Romo started hitting some guys and the run game kinda came together, but I will say if they hadn't picked up that PI flag, it might have been a different outcome!!! I would really like to know why they picked it up though. Pretty cut and dry pass interference in any playbook... Lots of bad calls in all the games this weekend, and a few non-calls. Big game next week so they better put their big boy pants on.
