The good news.
The Bad news.
I ended up getting charged twice for the shipping because they had to split the order between the package of O-Rings and the Polycarbonate Tubing, along with a $7.00 extra handling fee because UPS could not put the tubing on a conveyor.
Good tip on the shorter cuts of tube - I've been getting hit with those 'extra shipping' charges too. I had one order that came in 2 tubes and a box - shipping was outrageous. I ordered a 2' peice of polycarb and it came in the box with other items... that's probably the longest they'll ship on that.
AWESOME! Our springs came in today too! Man, I am tired from lugging those in from the mailbox!
THAT'S AWESOME! Just in time for me to go out of town! 
At least I will be too busy working and far from home to stalk the mailman....errr mail lady. Good news for her, cause I AM VERY EXCITED! I dont think she would like it if I tackled her in the driveway...lol

So I was just thinking about this for some reason, but what is the lowest ohms (for the coil) that would be achievable with this? You know because the post being at a fixed position. Im wanting to do like a 1.7 ohm.
No problem, I have 5 wraps of kanthal 32 and am running right at 2 ohms. So 1.8 is easily achievable.

Yeah that kanthan 32ga is 13.96 ohms/ft so it should be good. Guess i should have tried to do the math before i asked . hehe
I think there is a decent mix of experience levels in the coop. If you are less experienced it will probably pay off to let a little time go by after the parts get shipped out and some of the more experienced should post photos, advice, maybe video, etc. No time limit here!
Good advice. I will probably have to. I don't have or know how to use a dremel or a soldering iron. It looks easy when other people use them, LOL. There's going to be a learning curve.
UARiddle i am so glad you started this thread. This is great and i will keep an eye out on here. Thanks
check this thread for how to videos for soldering....you will find everything you need to get started.
@ Cos....thanks my friend! Really glad everyone is finding it useful. With everything Dan is working on, he needed some space and a place to organize it all. I hope it catches on and Dans mods explode on this forum! 
Hey here are a couple pics of mounting the positive leg. Notice I did use the M1.6 nuts that I processed. They are working great!

So even with the nails, you still need the carto center post? Nail inside the carto center post, center post inside of the pen tube?
That or some kind of tube... I used the excess from the 510 Clearomizer connector. I just cut off the excess tube and used that for the insert. Recycle what ya got
Dan
Get a Dremel (or cheapo Dremel) ASAP they are great fun - practice on bolt etc
As for soldering I did see this link on another thread (wire glue)
ThinkGeek :: "Wire Glue" Conductive Glue
Don't know how good it is
Dan,
Are you also using something to isolate the positive post from the ScubaGenV3 body? I assumed the negative would not need this, but that the positive post should not be contacting the body corrent?
