FYI - The 510s on all the Armageddon boxes are manually adjusted. You get a better connection from manual 510s and they allow you to line up your rda just the way you want it. The superior connection makes the boxes hit harder.

And it’s not a big deal. I just took my little pliers to the nut. Take the battery out first. Ask me how I know...

I think that wick needs a little more frosting.

Oh, the little dial thing on the bottom of the 510 inside? I was wondering as the pin wasn't slotted. Haven't gotten around to play with it yet, that's scheduled for tomorrow. Good to know how to adjust it before getting all frustrated (that is how you adjust it, right? I don't want to unscrew the whole 510 by mistake).

Been there :D I jammed a damp paper towel covered screwdriver between the contacts to clean out some of the arc marks. The paper towel was compromised in the process along with my drawers.

@Eskie You can grab it where the knurling is and just spin it with your fingers.

I'm left handed, so temporally impaired when it comes to turning stuff. Which raises the pin, clockwise or anticlockwise? It's fairly tight, and I don't want to bust it forcing it to turn in the direction it wasn't meant to if already at the limit.

It's threaded normally. You can spin it pretty far either way. That nut is for tightening it down when you get it where you want it but it's not necessary. You may need to loosen the nut to free the 510 initially. All of mine are held in place from tightening down the RDAs. Just screw an atty on and back it off and on while spinning the 510 until you get it where you want it. You can't really break it. I mean, you could throw it at the wall I suppose...

OK, here's where I sound stupid. I just tried two attys on it and both are high with a small gap. So, do I turn the knurled wheel inside on the bottom of the 510 to alter the height? And which direction to lower the pin? Can't finger turn it as it's too stiff, or my fingers are too weak, and before I take pliers to it I might as well check with you first.

Very shiny mail today ... a VapeWare Mods clone (YFTK). It's a hybrid mech (18650/18350). The magnetic switch has a very nice light feel (spare magnets included). I may swap them out for a spring. For a clone the machining is top notch.

I have a Dvarw MTL with the 2.5mm AF insert on it. Very nice airy MTL. It hits hard with a Molly!
Here it is next to an MDX so you can see the difference in size. The MDX is 10mm taller. The VWM is one of the smallest 18650 mechs around. Very nice taper in the mid-section too.

The VWM clone has many excellent reviews at FT. I have another one I got a couple months ago to check out. I was very impressed so I grabbed another for stash. YFTK did an excellent job with this one.
Here is the button assembly. Not my pics (I lifted them from FT).

A thanks from all us left handed people. You have no idea how confusing it gets trying to wrap a coil when you want both legs down because counterclockwise means nothing when that’s your normal clockwise.
