Sanding is really not bad but it depends how patience u r lol... u can start with 400 grit then 800 to finish it... the plastic disk is there to hold ur negative post but im pretty sure it is removable if in the future u wish to mount ur post permanently at the bottom cap... but I havent tried to remove the disc yet but I am planning to put a permanent negative brass post
hope that helps!sent from mars
I used two multimeter probes like chopsticks, in the holes of the disc from the underside and twisted it out through the top.Sanding is really not bad but it depends how patience u r lol... u can start with 400 grit then 800 to finish it... the plastic disk is there to hold ur negative post but im pretty sure it is removable if in the future u wish to mount ur post permanently at the bottom cap... but I havent tried to remove the disc yet but I am planning to put a permanent negative brass post

not sure what caused the heat up initially, but after taking apart and reassembling, everything works fine. i took the 18650 that caused the initial problem out of the rotation for good, but ran the 18350 down to the point where it wouldn't fire on the natural, and it took just around the same time to charge as another one that was similarly drained.
i'm assuming when i put the 18650 extension on, it was caused a constant battery connection and that's where the extreme heat came from.
It's not a good idea to let your batteries get that low, they don't like that. It's best to keep them at a fairly high charge, say, above 3.5 volts. I believe the minimum your supposed to drain them to is about 3.2.
It's not a good idea to charge lithium batteries on your wall, either.
The difference is that charging batteries without a "safe" spot has a 1 in 100,000 chance of causing a problem, and over-draining your batteries has a nearly 1 in 1 chance of causing a problem, albeit more minor.
Very true, I just found your posts ironic. I take losing my family to fire a lot more seriously than spending too much on batteries. Not that I overdrain my batteries, usually swap them above 3.6v.
Glad to see all the positive reports on the natural. I just got the RSST and I am loving it. After reading through this thread I ordered the natural. I think it's a very good looking unit paired with the RSST.
Just sanded down the 510 connector so I can mount my attys flush. Looks much better. Only do this if you're using genesis or other types of attys without air draw from the bottom.
I lost my Natural to the GF!!! She got the vape bug and likes it better than the Vamo and Sigelei. Got her a nice acrylic tank and tip and said goodbye to my mod. I just ordered a Super-t to replace it.
I'm trying to convince my wife to use my natural before my super t shows up at the door, although the natural is a great mod for the price. And it looks great with the rsst on top.
I need to sand the top of mine down as well so things sit flush... for now I just have to use a plastic washer (which don't look very cool). I don't have a belt sander or anything like that... not sure if i can do it with just a loan piece of sandpaper and a block of wood.
I just used some sandpaper on a flat surface. It worked fine. I started with 240 grit and progressed through to 400.

Sweet, looks like I'm gonna have to grab some sand paper on the way home then... how many steps do I need? Like 3 or so... I see you said 240, then finished with 400. Not sure how many steps in between (been a while since I sanded anything).

I Started with 240, then 360 and 400. I also tried 500 after that but didn't really need it. You can't see the final result when the atty is on anyways so I wasn't too fussy about the finish. I have another Natural which I left as is to use attys with air feed through the 510 connector.
