So I got tired of the resistance on the switch and decided to torch it. I wouldn't recommend trying it until you have a backup in case it gets destroyed. I compressed it to 15/32" and it works great, the magnets attraction to the battery actually helps smooth the action. The length I have it at now is just enough so that he device doesnt fire when its set down, and only takes a light pressure to fire. I did reduce the throw too
Has anyone taken pictures of the #20 with various tanks on it?
I have a #20 on the way and I'm looking for a good looking RBA to stick on it. Unsure of the diameter of the mod yet, but I'm thinking 20-22mm is a fair guess?
Pics/Specs?
Also, what all should I do to my #20 when I get it? I keep reading about a hot spring, then the convo drifts to #19 and other numbers, lol.
Sorry for rehashing if this has been covered 100 times. I just figured this is where the experts of the 20 are converging

I think it looks pretty good with the RSST on it. I haven't changed the hot spring yet, but I am seeing a 0.66 volt drop.

The OD is 23mm. I never tried it with the stock spring, in Todds review as well as others comments the 20 hit weak with the stock spring but worked, changing to more conductive hot spring seemed to help immensely. So I just changed the spring when I got it, and have no complaints that way. The lock on the button kinda drives me crazy at times though (which is on the short list to be fixed asap)
Currently using my 20 with a RSST as well, looks pretty slick. The finish is a pretty good match. That gap though...OHHH THAT GAP!!
I've used my #20 with the stock spring and with no spring and I can't detect much of a difference if any. I do have new springs on the way though anyway.
Wow, that does look great with the RSST on it! Any fixes for the gap you mentioned?
Think I can find a better spring at RadioShack or something local?
Thanks for the measurement also!

I ordered some springs from MadVapes...not even sure if they'll work. I got a couple of the large and a couple of the small.
There is a fix for the gap, but it requires major surgery on the button (that I'm not yet willing to attempt).

I just ordered the silver bullet hot spring from electronic-cigz an hour or so ago. Total was $5.24 shipped to my door.
I've modded my #19 and it's finally working some kind of OK. I've removed the 2 magnets, put a new brass 510 pin, torched the spring to shrink it, sanded down the plastic isolator in the button and polished the bottom pin.

Thanks for the Facebook update Hartman but I'm not on Facebook nor did I order it on FB. I ordered the #19 from their website. The #19 product page isn't even on their website to see any possible updates.
The only way I'm able to see it is because I had it saved in my "Wish List". Here's a link to the #19 for you guys:
Sigelei Mechanical Mod #19
There's not much info there, no mention of 2 batches, updated shipping info, etc... Lesson learned: I will never pre-order a mass produced Chinese knock-off again when other venders will most likely have it in stock at the same time at about the same price as a pre-order and I may never order from this vendor again because of their customer service.
On the flip side, Vaportek looks to have a very good pre-order program. They have a page dedicated to all pre_orders that they have going on and you can get updated info at any time. BTW I'm not afilliated with any vendors.

Anybody have any tips for getting the 20 firing pin housing out?
I have tried gently pulling with pliers (as per the instructions) and I have tried less than gently (about blew my pucker string pulling).....its in there fluffing tight!

I've done some searching, but can't find a definitive answer - has anyone found a way to get rid of the gap on the #20?
Go a few pages back in this thread. You will see a very detailed post with pictures of a complete tear down of the #20. I would say about 6+ pages back.
Cool. I was going to direct you to post #1002 on page 101 in this thread.
GOT IT!!!!
Just had to change out of my thong, and put my back into it
Here is the #20 with my stormrider v2. I believe the stormrider is 20mm. The gap hasnt bugged me yet, but am waiting for a solution to be found. This is my first mech mod and i think it hits good, but i have a hotspring coming today so i'll find out if theres a big difference.. Setup is ss wire rope with a 3/2 30gauge wrap. Ohm reads at .8 and im lovin it
