I'm sorry I'm new to this rebuilding thing this is what I ment. The atomizer doesn't have the regular little connector my crown has
Umm.. wow? I’ve never seen anything like what you’re holding there. It might possibly be an old fashioned P3 connector which is different than a 510. My brain doesn’t even identify that as vaping equipment though. What is it and where did it come from?

My friend gave it to me he said he got it like 6 or 7 years ago at the mall. I told you what is this lmao I've been around vaping for awhile I know what connector goes where when he gave it to me I was at a loss. The battery terminal attached to the atty is adjustable aswell meaning different battery options. I used the standard 18650

This is apparently a p3 connector so it’s definitely not that. You’ve got what looks to me at least like some seriously odd proprietary garbage on your hands there. I personally would keep it and see if it turns into a collectors item. It’s goofy enough.

Hahah yeah foreal dudes at the vape shop were blown away
Supposedly it is possible to do net picture searches where you use some gigantic cloud AI to search by picture. I never bothered to find out much about any specifics. If it works like I think it does though (and it may not) you may be able to find out what make/model it is that way.

Or a couple days from now some bored old great one may happen upon the pic and just know what it is. You stumped me good.

be careful with that ;) looks like it's got a hybrid pin rather than a 510 connection maybe? easier to short out if you're not careful with using the right battery & coil, if I remember right. some of those hybrid mechs fire easier in your pocket too. keep sharp for a hot firing button.
oh that thing is waaay weirder than any hybrid I’ve ever seen. Be careful with it though? Oh yeah. That thing is old and strange and they stopped making them that way for a reason. I don’t know what that reason is, but there’s a really good chance it involves electrical fire.

Rofl. So THAT’S what @Baditude is always talking about when he talks about non hybrid mechs. I’d never even seen a non hybrid mech top from the bottom is all. Took a particular set of noobishness on my part to fall for that one. Yay! I get to be a vaping noob! That shouldn’t happen again for at least an hour or two.

That’s not even weird. It just looks that way. According to a lot of other folks here who are very possibly pointing and snickering as I type this, You’ve actually probably got a decent mech there. It’s actually safer than the much more common hybrid type mech. The set of the positive pin doesn’t matter. Plus with the variable sizing option you can use protected 18650 batteries that have built in fuses in them for further safety. They cost more, and I don’t know if they even still exist, but if you can find one you can use it.

oh yeah, now I remember, a true hybrid connector allows the atty's firing pin to touch the battery to complete the circuit. Like my Buffalo mod. They can easily short if your atty has a pin flush to it's threads. this mod, though, doesn't allow for pin-to-battery connection at all. cool mod @Ledron's_Drag
