When I took out the screws on the Luna I'm buffing, I couldn't budge one on the bottom plate. The other came out easily, but when I went to put it back in it just spun and spun. It wasn't stripped, but removing it apparently bored out the hole to the point where there was nothing for it to grip. I ended up treating it with some Loctite and was able to get it to screw into place, but the experience makes me nervous about any more disassembling.

That said, coating the mosfet sounds like a smart move, so I'll get to work building up my gumption.

Ah, gotcha. I don't notice it when I'm vaping and like having confirmation that I've turned it on and off. Plus I find the blue "off" light soothing. Simple pleasures.
I had exactly the same problem and my guess was that the factory had the same problem so some of the screws are glued in already when they ship.

The P3 goes down to .7 I think mine goes to .5 ohms. I’ll check. I’ll PM you about the mini as well over the weekend.
OK thanks.. I thought 0.5 too but there were two versions of the P3 and a beta so maybe it was 0.7 :)

I used tape but ended up buffing it and some of the black right off before I noticed. On my other five, I'm going to start by sanding away all the black like @charlie1465 did before I get to shining up the stabwood.

I’d like to see a photo of this. So the frame is now stainless steel?

Good on you. In my opinion it looks far better without the black. And no need to do it first.... Lay some 220 grit on a a drying up cloth on a flat surface and then hold the mod on each face while sanding. I wet sanded mine... But be careful as I blocked my led and it doesn't work anymore :eek:

Then continue in the same way with the other grits until you can see your reflection in the it :D

I think my shiny issue is is that I haven’t seen anything shiny that I’ve just had to have! Everything seems the same just slightly different colors or shape etc... especially all those pods!

I stopped my YT subscriptions to a lot a reviewers because 90% of the reviews are on pods. I think they’re great for their purpose but as a vaper “hobbiest” I have absolutely no interest in them at all.

Of course that could change over time but for now I don’t want to watch yet another review of a pod.

Anyways that’s all I’ve got. Hope everyone has a great night and weekend!!
