"batteries like these are a tragedy waiting to happen.
Take care of your batteries or we'll see you on the news. I confiscated these from a vaping friend. Follow J Mooch Muchow & Daniel Batista on FB and Youtube. If you're local to Central Mass and need a rewrap or have hacked/missing insulators then bring them over and I'll rewrap them for free."

These were right out of the mod he used every day. He'd been a friend for a year but that day I just had the idea to ask him to show me what he used for batteries. I'm glad I did. These were so bad that he might not have made it home without tragedy. It doesn't hurt to ask.

In comparison to the jet-style f400, which is about the same price, it has far fewer materials (plus I believe more expensive ones, you'll need that $900 sieve and "fresh" powder to recycle unsintered powder) and a very restricted print size, about 1/4 of the f400. The advantages are those of sintering - more precise (the f400 only has a vertical precision of 1 thou, xy will be more), you can print moving parts and have less surface finishing to do, if any.
Depends on what you want to do, if you're content with only mod sized parts and the material they offer... still seems pretty expensive for not having much choice what materials to use (eg no alumide).
Thanks, I was curious about desktop SLS printing and that one is an entry level unit.

For the same price you get a 5 axis home CNC like the PocketNC v2, that's far more versatile. Imagine the stabwood or resin mods you can make with that :D

Bookmarked and on my vapeocolypse shopping list!
Note I'm not endorsing it, I still think a "real" 3d printer costs at least three times that ;)
It's certainly better than amateur level printers though, the material compatibility range is also quite nice.

Might consider CNC too... I want a DIY mod solution...

I do like the Ares, and the build deck it has. Id like a shorter mtl tank for the Jac 25mm...any suggestions? Have a 22mm Siren 2 coming to go on the black Jac 22 when it gets released

As I mentioned in the Jac thread, this is a pic of the Doggystyle tank on the Jac. It makes a much shorter setup. Also showing it next to a Provari 2.5/doggy for comparison. :)

Looks much more balanced. I put a zenith on the Jac for the moment, as it’s a bit shorter than the Ares. Still pondering a rda or rdta.

More vape mail today with one shiny thing and some wet stuff :D

That brings me to a total of 5 liters of 100mg nicotine. Pretty sure that’ll be it for me!

And ANOTHER Revenger X! I have all except the rainbow. I really like that mod. Can you tell lol!
