Stillare bf modded on a Grand. Need the LP so I can lose the hilarious 510/510 and collar. Works great though!

WOW! Look at you Lady! Very nice
Thank you MsLoud!
Thanks to everybody who posted tips and "how-to's" on this thread. Muchly appreciated.
Cool! From the outside it might win a beauty contest! But hey, if it vapes nice that's all that matters!
I'll prolly pick one up on my next FT order. I'm surprised how good the quality is on some of their clones. I hear a lot of bad comments about FT but on some of the clones they really nail it and the prices are insane.

I will be picking up the Harbor Freight drill press myself today. I've been looking at them all week.
It's good to hear that evidently it has the accuracy needed to modify our attys!
I finally got the Magma to work!
I snatched a post from a cheap FasTech RDA I had lying around with a hollow core, cut it to length, and simply press fit it. Never in my vaping "career", including several 20 and 30 watt DNA mods, have I EVER produced vapor clouds like I do with the Reo/Magma combo! Although cloud chasing is not my favorite activity, when I'm sitting at home after a long day and really want to knock it out of the park, I'll slip it on for a couple of hits. Amazing. Although, it's a little big, there is a very slight overhang from the atty deck, but its a sharp looking atty anyway. If that's your thing (huge, huge clouds with great taste), pick up a clone from a known clone maker and give it a shot. Make sure you have some spare press fit center posts that are not 100% stainless preferably because the stock post is a bear to modify.

I got my Reo on Monday, and have been running a 1.0 coil in the RM2 and been super happy. But... I can never leave well enough alone, so I modded my Trident V2 to bottom feed, built it with a .8 dual coil and tried it out tonight. Wow. It's like a freakin' fog machine. My densest, biggest cloud to date. I don't know if it will replace the RM2 as my all day atty, but it is quite an experience. I never loved the look of the Trident, to me it looks like the kegs we used to get when I was in college, though I don't think they have that shape anymore. Maybe some do.
My copper vein went under the knife because my other LP spoiled me with BF modded dripper choices...
Readied for a shave...
And cut ... that was fun!
Seems to work just as good as my other LP

So, I got my Atomic and was gonna drill out the insulator at work today...but, apparently my engineer guys don't use bits that small.
I looked around online for a #60 bit, but dang if they don't cost almost as much as the Atomic!
Any solutions for me? Can I just slot the insulator??

?...my #'d bits are costing me $1.45/ea. (they're just HSS, all you need)
...but yes, just pop out the pin and slot the insulator
I can't seem to find those bits anywhere in my town, and online the shipping kills ya.
Any tips on how to slot the insulator? Should I take it all the way out and use a dremel or what?

You can pick up the drill bits at any Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowe's, or Menards... They should cost no than $2.00 each...
FYI... If you are using google to find them they are sold as a jobber drill.

They have them in stock. They aren't with the regular drill bits. They are in the section of taps, dies, and Dremel items...
Yeah, I looked in that section too. I asked one of the employees and he said they do not stock them.
Keep in mind I live in South Dakota...kinda in the sticks.

OK, I was just looking on Lowes website to see if they even carry the bit I need. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing ("#60 drill bit") but I can't find it there either. I can't find it on the Ace site either....I must be doing something wrong here.
Ah-Ha!
Found 'em at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/SE-Drill-Set-60-8260HDB/dp/B000O5DDB4
Those'll work with a drill press, right?
Since they're so cheap, should I get a couple other sizes too?
