Just habit mainly, with some of my at home riggins.... you wanna check it. lol
but your right. really unnecessary if the thing is put together right

How exactly does one check voltage drop? What do you need and what is considered normal for voltage drop? I looked for an answer elsewhere but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Well you can do some resistance measuring and use ohms law or you can buy an inline meter from one of the venders for about 15-20$ or just jury rig some wires so that you can take available voltage reading between the mod and atty while under load.
A question for the people who shortened the button throw on their #8s. How did you get the locking washers in there? It seems that the button assembly is in there with some tread lock or hot glue. The switch is ok but seems like it would be much better if it had a shorter throw.
If ur Mech.Mod is vaping well - u don't need to bother measuring those volt/amps, or performing any tweaks/DIY.

The Sigeleis r actually very well made.

I want to shorten the throw on my #8 too. I actually took the button head in one set of pliers and the other end of the pin in a second set of pliers and gave it some muscle. I quit because I was reasonably sure I would just twist the pin in half! My button is NOT coming off of there without a fight. Is there another way to shorten the throw *without* removing the button head?
Great advice here. I went and got the smallest brass locking washer my hardware store carried, I believe it was a #4. Then I clipped it with the snips on my needle nose pliers to make the "C", slipped it on on crimped it. Button throw is shorter, feels smoother, and I can use the locking ring without it coming unthreaded. Thanks for the tip.The button head does need to come off in order to but the washers on. If yours has been thread locked, you could cut a short section out of the washer to make it a "C". Then slide it over the button post and crimp it on with pliers.
Anyone know when Exhalevapors is sending out the #19 for the pre-orders ?

HOW TO CLEAN?
Cleaning that soot off is pretty simple & easy. A deliberate rub of the contact point/s with "emery paper" works. Topped it up with some alcohol or gasoline drops and a final nice wiping-off would make them brand new. We could safely use our 'after-shave lotion' or 'nail-polish remover' as a cleaning liquid. I use after-shave, it smells good!
STANDARD PRECAUTION:
As a standard practice, we should 'lock' our Firing Switch before replacing the batteries, tanks or dismantling the tubes, heads etc. This negates chances of the battery firing without a load. Which'd be disastrous &/or reduces the battery life definitely.

I disagree as well. Measure it and know what the mod is doing, and in many cases it's easy to improve. "Vaping well" is subjective, and if efficiency from battery to coil can be improved, I'm very interested -- and it isn't because the contacts are dirty.
Are you seriously suggesting people use *gasoline* to clean contacts? Every item you mention is potentially flammable and should be used with caution, but the closest gasoline is coming to my vaping gear is when I'm actually pumping it. After shave lotion is in most cases full of lubricants that I wouldn't want in my mod, as well.
While I suppose it's a good idea to lock the switch (I never do), "battery firing without a load" is the same as it sitting on a table. It's not "disastrous" and doesn't reduce battery life. Are you thinking of a hard short? Because that's not good for batteries, but firing it without an atty attached has zero effect on a battery in any mod that is assembled properly. Insulation in the mod prevents a short or it'd be hard-shorting as soon as you installed a battery.
Please be careful giving advice like this. New vapers take these tips and they become gospel to some people, and then we have a guy with a gasoline-soaked rag dabbing contacts in his bedroom.
