It is brass, with brass connectors. Though i do need to find a short brass 510-510 connection, as you still need a little distance form the Darwin connector, just to screw it on.
It does a little load, but it doesnt stress the arm much if at all. It is way less than the side to side stress the arm gets when you try to put a Linev2 or v1 on it, where it causes the arm to bend outward.
Like isaid it is only a protoype, and still working out some of it. but the concept works, and it lets me use tanks etc.
An adapter will never be as solid as the original connector, especially on the Darwin, but until Brandon sells me a longer extension arm liek he showed inthat video, this is what im gonna go with. Way better than the Gooseneck or lleaving the arm open whiel its in your pocket. I dont fear accidntally pressing the button any more with tanks on, when i am on the go.
Im also looking for some caps for the ends of the cross brass piece.
I have a few other ideas, but this one was the only one i coudl make with my own lame tools
I need an easier way to solder though, my soldering iron is not cutting it. Anyone have suggestions?

I made something similar to this with L shaped pipe fittings. Couldn't get the solder to stick to it, so I wound up kind of making a mechanical connection and just gluing it at the time. Never used it though because it was too wide at the base. I think the easiest way is going to be press fitting the connectors in with a vice. Unless you're talking about the center posts on the connectors. If that's the case, I have no ideas lol. I know madvapes sells pre soldered connectors, but I've never tried them.

this all press fit , though i may add some epoxy on the inside of the holes in the future...we wll see...i odnt want it burnign or smelling though..ill have to test and research
soldering the connector wires is what i was talkign about

I was wondering if flux would work on this... mine solders are just solder on connectors in this version...Do you have a good source for it?
At first I thought you were talking about soldering to the brass. Later you clarified you were just soldering wires.
What type of soldering iron are you using? Even a cheap variable-wattage station is much better than a Rat-Shack pencil iron.
Sent from a handheld device.
It's soem off brand thing...im open to any links to betetr devices...or any alternatives to solder for connecting wires to the connectors
as for offsetting a tank....someone on here was looking into doign it but it never seemed to materialize... Ody tank and the like cant be offset so easily...
also...even offsetting a traditional tank may not work, as the clearance between the connector and the body is VERY small. It took me while to sand down the edge on my brass cross piece to allow the clearance(fitting a cap on that side is gonna be difficult i think)

Hello All
I am a long time NHaler customer but quiet on the forum. I was lucky enough to get notification last batch and score a Darwin. I am loving it. I must admit, I was a mechanical only mod person for a long time and was reluctant to "buy the car that parked itself."At the insistence of a trusted friend, I succumbed to the pressure and bought one. I do have a question, which probably has been answered but I am unable to read this entire thread. I am experiencing a tad of leakage at the connector. It happens sporadically and with attys, cartos and with tanks with an adapter. A tissue in hand is well worth the excellent quality of the Darwin, just wondering iff it is user error and if I can do something to prevent. My teacup yorkie, Lola,loves e-liquid. She tries to lick the bottles for drips if I leave them in her range and I am concerned I may not be as attentive when I get into the vapegasm of the Darwin and need help. Any and all thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance and happy vaping. I want a lil brother for my Darwin too. Is there a pre-order or notify me yet?

bonniegirl,
There is one cause of leakage. Too much juice. In one way or another, you're over either over filling or over dripping. Tanks, I don't know. We have many many many tank users here who will most likely chime in.

I agree with Kat, but there are definitely certain atties that will leak more than others. Have you looked into a drip shield from either empire or avid? I dont have a Darwin yet but I have my drip shields ready, although I have not had much of an issue with leaking lately.
The drip shield will not go down to where the leaking is.It is below the connection of the atty or carto to the connector. The drip shield does not go down there and why would the e-liquid???????????IT is confusing.
Yeah, they were initially made for 901 atties but all you need to do is connect a 510 shorty adapter in order to use it. Not sure if nhaler sells them or not but I will check right now.
Oh I just found out that not only does nhaler sell the adapter, they also sell a bunch of colored drip shields. It is the top selection on the left once your in the store.
edit2: I forgot to mention that you might just wanna give up and sell that Darwin to me

This is the adapter you want, make sure you get the sealed one: 510 to 510 Extender
Using the sealed adapter with a drip shield will completely seal off that end so that nothing can leak out. That will take care of you for attys and cartos
Overfilling/overdripping would be the first thing that comes to mind for why you're having leaking issues, but that doesn't explain the tanks, not to mention you've been vaping quite a while and I assume you weren't having this problem before on other mods? If that's the case, I'm totally puzzled
I vaguely remember mention a while back of some sort of grease or lubricant that seeped out around the base of the connector arm for some people. Though I didn't experience this, I guess it stopped eventually for those that did. So one thing to look into real easy is to give your leakage a sniff to determine if it is in fact juice

Drew - have some ChiTown deepdish Za for me (remember, I'm vegetarian ) - will be wishing I was there!!
Hope all there have an AMAZING TIME!! I'll be watching the feeds - especially VapeTeam on Friday and Saturday nights from 8-10Pm eastern: VapersPlace | VP Live Vape Team
To all going: make sure to hunt down VapinGreek, VapingMonkey, Protrex and Baldgroove (some of the members of The We Are Vapers Team - just look for big cameras and filming equipment) and introduce yourself!!
