chopper - do you think scott could post the manual you guys developed either here or on the support thread?
Slide the needle down the outside of the wick and draw your fluid out.
I keep looking at the black.Now I think I want black with my GREEN.
PM comming Chopper.
PM comming Chopper.
Can you PM me your email so I can send the file to you.I don't know how to put it on here.My computer skills are not that great.Its a PDF file.
lol - pm coming up, chopper! but you got my email from pp! 
i might just copy and paste if it's a pdf file ...
i might just copy and paste if it's a pdf file ...
I tried to do that and it would not allow me to paste.If Scott is on..........Hey man can you post the manual please lol.
lol - pm coming up, chopper! but you got my email from pp!
i might just copy and paste if it's a pdf file ...
See I told you that my last brain cell was in jeopardy lol.
i'll figure it out ........ if it's not posted by tomorrow morning - send it on now!
easy, chopper, we need your brain!
Just hang a bad post Vapefest day but still good lol
Back down to 3 available as I am having a mind freak day and can't count, add or subtract.
Would like to thank Chopper for his huge amounts of patience in dealing with me.
Honestly I am normally worse, ask Kat lol

USER SETUP GUIDE
DEFCON Rebuildable Atty
S&S MODS 2012
This document is to be used as a guide for setting up the DEFCON
Rebuildable Atty. The process may vary for each individual. The tutorial below was done using the
following configuration:
400x400 SS Mesh pre made wick
Kanthal A 32 awg Wire
4 Wrap Coil tested @ ~ 1.7ohm resistance
STEP1: What do you need?
1) DEFCON Rebuildable Atty
2) Drip Tip
3) Filling Syringe
4) 325x325 or 400x400 SS Mesh Pre Made Wick
5) 32g Kanthal Heating resistance wire
6) Your favorite PG, VG, PG/VG Juice
S&S MODS 2012
STEP2: Filling the DEFCON
•
Fill your syringe with ~ 3-3.5 ML of juice
•
The center hole that the wick will be inserted into also serves as the filling port
(Subject to change in future design)
•
Insert the syringe needle into the filling port and inject the juice until the reservoir is full
•
If you overfill the reservoir insert the syringe and plunge out some of the juice
•
Use the window on the side of the DEFCON as your gauge for how much juice is in your reservoir
S&S MODS 2012
STEP3: The Wick
1) Carefully insert one end of your 325x325 or 400x400 wick in to the center filling port of the
DEFCON
2) Turning slightly in the same direction of how the wick is wound and pushing slightly, the wick
will slide past the cap and into the reservoir. Continue inserting the wick until you feel the wick
touch the bottom of the reservoir. In order to produce the most efficient wicking, once you
touch the bottom of the reservoir pull the wick up just slightly to assist wicking
3) The top of the wick should now be in line with the tallest silver electrode on the DEFCON. If the
top of the wick extends above the largest silver electrode, carefully cut the wick so the top of
the wick and the top of the largest silver electrode are in line
4) Ensure that the wick is at no time touching either of the silver electrodes
S&S MODS 2012
STEP4: The Coil
Winding part 1 – Start the circuit
1)
Create a small pig tail with one end of the Kanthal (a small U shaped loop)
2)
Starting on the smaller of the two silver electrodes, with one thumb hold the smallest end of the
pig tail, with your other fingers begin to carefully wind the 32g Kanthal wire around the
electrode in a clockwise manner, moving in bottom to top direction. Do not overlap or bunch
the Kanthal, this could create a short if the Kanthal touches the wick
3)
In a top to bottom direction, wind down to where you started, again not overlapping.
4)
The Kanthal will maneuver easily around the electrode, you do not have to “force” the Kanthal
around the electrode, but ensure you do have a snug fit.
S&S MODS 2012
5)
Wrapping 5+ times around the electrode will create a binding secure enough to hold the Kanthal
in place while not touching the wick
Winding part 2 – the wick
1) In a clockwise direction wind the Kanthal from a bottom to top to your desired ohm rating
2) The 4 wrap coil seen in this guide produced a ~1.7 ohm reading when tested on PROVARI
3) Ensure that you have even spacing between the Kanthal wraps (candy cane visual) to produce
the best production from the DEFCON
Winding part 3 – Complete the circuit
1) Similar to the steps in part 1 you want to complete the circuit using the large silver electrode
2) Wind the Kanthal clockwise in a bottom to top direction to near the top of the electrode
3) Wind the Kanthal in a clockwise direction from top to bottom a few more times, to where you
started
4) The Kanthal will maneuver easily around the electrode, you do not have to “force” the Kanthal
around the electrode, but ensure you do have a snug fit.
5) Wrapping 5+ times around the electrode will create a binding secure enough to hold the Kanthal
in place while not touching the wick
S&S MODS 2012
STEP5: Inspection
1)
Inspect your work and ensure the following:
a.
The wick is NOT touching either of the silver electrodes
i.
The silver electrodes will maneuverer if needed, but to NOT forcefully move the
electrodes if the wick is touching either of them
b.
The coils around the wick are as evenly spaced as you can get them
i.
You can use an eyeglass flat head screwdriver or the point of a pin to space up
or down as needed
S&S MODS 2012
STEP6: TEST
1) BEFORE vaping on the DEFCON, test for short circuits and vapor production
2) With your newly wrapped coil put the DEFCON on a device, leaving the top cap off
3) Drop some juice onto the coil for your “burn runs” and fire the device
4) Continue to do this a few times to assist in breaking in the coil
a. With your PV “off” drip some juice onto the coil
b. Fire your PV “on”
c. Ensure you do not have any “hot spots” on the coil as seen below
(This was purposely done)
d. When you see hot spots, wick again repeat
S&S MODS 2012
STEP7: Ready, Set, Go!
1) You did it! Screw the top cap onto your DEFCON
2) Insert your favorite 510 drip tip
3) Starting Vaping!!!
Tips & Tricks
1) Do not overthink this process, it is easy, you may not execute this process perfectly the first time
but practice makes perfect
2) If your DEFCON is not wicking properly, make sure you are holding your device at a 2 or 3 o’clock
angle to producethe most efficient wicking action

The Atom looks pretty cool! I would like to get one. Need to pay on my next paycheck though.
Borrow funds from a family member or a friend or you may not get one anytime soon......just saying
