2 things - Chowderhead does that stuff all the time.

I groove a channel in mine and it goes something like this: Mark centre post with a marker pen just above the deck - this is where you must channel to.
take all the screws out. Whack the centre pin down and out - i do this on a vice with the jaws open, using a screw to whack the post out. Hammer Time!

Get a dremel with a cutting wheel and go for it.

Whack it back in - do pay attention to the orientation of the wire capture hole !!!

I cannot drill thru that amount of SS with the tools i have.

T

Sounds a lot better than what I had in mind. A Drill press and fixture with led vice covers. Huum ST, I got everything I need for your fix!
Thnx Mate :toast:

Darrel - I am so sorry you and your family are going through this. It must be so trying and I'm sure your patience is wearing thin. Good thoughts to you. :wub:

Thanks I'm handling it ok if not for me DW would have sent him home long ago theres still a very real chance that may happen. We will see I deal with idiots on a daily basis I think thats why on my days off I like to just stay at home :lol: We brought him here so he could have a chance at a decent life with his lack of drive to do well in school we figured he could maybe make it as a labourer but he thinks working at Mcdonalds or washing dishes in a restaurant he will have a great life No offence at people who do this but its not a good chance at any kind of financial stability thats for sure. Here even at full time one can't afford to rent a room in a boarding house for those kind of salaries

It's hard work making a go of things in a new country, with all the expectations people pile on you.

Ask me how i know. He's pretty handy with computers isn't he? Just saying.

Okay machinist..how big of a pain in the behind would it be to buy an original Atomic RDA and drill the center pin out correctly? If I can get the pin out and put it back right I see no problems but was wondering if anyone on here had done the Atomic? I sure don't wanna blow $100.

I am not certain how the Atomic is constructed, but as long as it has a solid center pin and enough room to squeeze in additional feed holes below the wire hole it shouldn't be difficult. Think I've done a half dozen different atomizers brands/types and haven't had a problem drilling down the center post. That said I do have access to a mill which makes the side holes a bit easier than trying to do them on a drill press or by hand...

I hear ya..If the company I use to work for hadn't packed it in I has the use of every CNC machine they made. I use to assemble CNCs for Cincinnati Milacron.

it's SS. i drilled an igo right thru using a drill press at work, but i'd be worried about breaking drill bits on an Atomic - the centre pin is big.

T

IF I still had access to the tooling and all I use to have, a colbalt drill would go into ss like butter as long as there was coolant flowing.

Evening Reo friends. It's good to be back home. I thoroughly enjoyed Vape Blast. Never in my life would I have thought some of these things existed. And there were sure some crazys out there too. One guy I was talking to was vaping a box, with 2 18650 batteries, but his build was dual 22 ga coils vaping at .08 ohms! I guess you see all kinds at these events. I ended up going all three days and I'm whooped. And I have an early start and a busy week ahead..surprise surprise :blink:

Back to the grind though. It's nice to get away sometime, but nothing beats home :) Hope you all have a really great evening!

I ran/programmed a few Cincinnati Milacron's over the years in various shops :)

I'm purdy much a maintenance machinist at this point, only have a manual mill and lathe now where I'm at. If I was in my old shop doin' mold work I had access to some equipment that most shops don't have...

Oh,, you heard about that one, did you? Yes, it happend last night just after I left for the evening. They were having another of their cloud chasing contests and I guess someone miscalculated something with a huge stacked 26650 mod. They got everyone together to show us the results of that and it was really unrecognizable as a mod or battery or anything other than a pile if cinders. Glad nobody was hurt, but they did a battery safety thing first thing this morning.

I was fixin' to ask if you were there or not...

Been waitin' for sumpthin' like this to happen, unfortunately this attention is not what we need as a community, already under the microscope, glad no one was hurt though...
