Where can I send my tf attys to be modified to bf?

[Clark F]

I have a V5, V9, and a Patriot that I would like to use with my Reo. Anyone know where I can get this done?

 

[Chowderhead1972]

The v5 and v9 are chrome plated brass center post aren't they? Bad idea... The Patriot iirc can be had in all stainless; much better choice. Pm sent.

 

[muzichead]

They all are good candidates to drill straight through the insulators...

 

[Clark F]

Just one hole through the center pin is all that's required?

I'm hoping to get another Reo soon and I don't use these anyway.

One hole through the center and one hole across at deck height intersecting the first drilling so the juice can enter and suck back down as needed.

Those look like stainless posts but looks can be deceiving. Scratch the slotted head on the bottom with a sharp knife and see if it chromed brass.

The Patriot is the only one that has a SS post in it... The V5 and V9 both have plated brass posts.

 

[Clark F]

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home.

So they won't work then correct?

 

[Chowderhead1972]

I'm pretty sure Muzichead is correct.

 

[Clark F]

Oh well, learned something new today.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

The Patriot will. The other 2 you could try slotting or drilling the insulator but don't scratch the chrome on the center pin. IMO I wouldn't bother but if you want to experiment go for it..

Yo can still drill the posts out on them, but I wouldn't vape them though. Not if they are brass posts, not to mention the chrome plating on them... Again, it would be a better alternative to either drill or notch the insulators on them.

is the chrome the problem or just the brass? brass can be pickled to make it safe.

My origen has a brass center post. I vape it all day. Not saying ita safe. I smoked a pack a day. If I didn't care then why should I now.

 

[Clark F]

I didn't know a brass center pin was unsafe to vape.

I think it would be both. The chrome plating after being heated up will break down over time and start flaking and the brass, (after being drilled), will counteract with some juices and might not be safe for us. That is why most actual BF atty's, (mfg'd), have SS posts.

The RM2 is a brass center pin. I'd drill and pickle. I did Dremel my Patriot. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/511025-patriot-rba-mod.html

Didn't know that. I thought the RM2 had a SS pin in the 510 connection. Does Rob pickle the RM2 after modding them? I'm still not sure I would trust vaping anything with a drilled brass or copper center pin. I vape menthol and I've seen the effects it can have on some vaping items. Its about the same as fruity liquids. I actually cracked a poly tank for an Aqua with a DIY menthol. It surprised me that it actually cracked. I would just rather not take my chances...
