OMFG Cough-Cough I'm Cough-Cough Dieing Cough-Cough-BWWWaa-Cough-Cough Why Cough-cough Did I Cough do this Cough-Cough to my self...

I like the one you put in the corner of the room and it's spits everywhere!

Oh comeon Jeff (sheesh)

rebuild them...then you know they are real. It's simple. (and really cheap)

Oh hell no.

Oh hell no.

Pssst! It's not Rixter who does the coops, it's Proetus.

For me I just can't go back to plastic anything other than drip tips, and even those I'm not using much any more. I'm pretty much using only stainless steel or anodized with direct dripping. Pyrex only for this kid.

You can drive a car, vote, die for your country, but can't smoke...FUBAR!

Seriously unless online sales are banned I imagine these stores popping up to cash in on the "Vape Rush" will start to fade away unless the FDA somehow bans or severely restricts online sales (which most of them are fighting for). It's just the world we live in. Like book stores in a way.

Maybe I am too anti B&M but when they are largely in support of bans that would force me to shop in their ****ty overpriced store; I take it kind of personal.

BTW...dual-coil possible = quad-coil probable in my book.

This is not mine...I found this image on Google.

Thanks, I do have to give some credit to my Dad, rest his soul. When he was with us he taught me a lot about electronics and being a McGyver. LOL It was his nick name where he worked. He was an electroics enginer all his life. Has one pattend to his credit.

This was brought up in another thread, moding out a multimeter for testing atomizers. I had bought a Radio Shack Model: 22-182 Multimeter just for building coils and testing other E-cig needs. I promised a tutorial of what I did when I was done, well, here it is.

I started with a stock Radio Shack Model: 22-182 Multimeter



This Multimeter comes in its own case and is mounted with 2 screws into the case for changing the battery. I wanted to use the case it came in as it was very compact and is easy to store.

After some thought I decided to make a panel that would fit into where the test leads were stored. This would allow me to close the case lid and keep it all in one neat package. I found an old 5.25 black bay cover for a PC to make the panel. I used connectors I salvaged from dead 510 and 901 batteries and atomizes also some used wire from a old PC LED.



I wanted a tight fit for the panel so I made a template of the test lead storage plate from a piece of semi ridged clear plastic. Laying the plastic over the multimeter I traced out the shape I needed for my panel with a Sharpie. After cutting the template out, I traced it onto the 5.25 bay cover. I placed the template in the upper right corner of the bay cover. This would allow the downed edge to act as a stop and a support for the panel once in place. Using a Dremel I cut out the basic shape, leaving room to adjust it's shape to fit tight in the test lead storage area of the Multimeter. I used the Dremel with a sanding cylinder to shape it for clean fit. I used a 5/16th in drill bit to make the holes where the new leads would be mounted. This bit was a tad smaller than the atty and batt but, I wanted a tight fit. The 3/8ths bit was just a hair to large. I then took my Dremel and a small sanding cylinder to make the holes just the right size for them to fit nice an snug.



Note the holes are a little off I made a line to follow but the center punch moved a bit on the second hole from the top. Ooops lol

After that was all done and ready to go, I soldered the all the leads together. I did this before installing them into the panel so I wouldn't risk melting the plastic panel. Once soldered and mounted them into the panel. I did a test on all the new leads to make sure all had a good connection and they all worked. I did this by taking a base reading on 1 atty. Then using it with an adapter to test both the 510 and 901 atty leads. I then used 1 batt and did the same with the 510 and 901 batt leads. After it all tested a go, I then used 5min epoxy to glue the leads in place. I also added some to the wires so they would move and possibly break the solder joint. I want to be able to remove the panel when I want so the wires had to be secured. Once the epoxy had set, I retested the leads just to make sure all the leads were still working.



It was at this time that I cut the original leads from the multimeter making sure I left a little extra in case of a redo. I then soldered them to the leads of the panel. To protect the connection I used some shrink tubing on these connections.




Now it is time to pop in the panel and test it again.



It all tested good so there it is, a custom 510, 901 Atty and Batt tester. The space at the top allows me to add 4-5 adapters for testing other size attys, Batts or extending the lead up to test tanks that are to big around to fit directly on the 510 lead.




I Love DIY!

That's awesome. "Enough gear for a week". Back ups!

That's awesome. "Enough gear for a week". Back ups!

Rebuilt coil as a micro coil, pointed directly at airhole.

Back ups!!! And back ups of back ups. Lol.

Lol! And I didn't even bring in the "other" bag of goodies. You'll have to let me know how she goes, Troy. Hopefully, we got her into the gear she really needed to become a true vaper. The stuff she had was nice but was waaaay too advanced for a noob. The intimidation factor was hard at work to keep her from putting down the analogs altogether.

I stayed for another hour after you and your lady left. While her hubby was learning how to rebuild coils for an RDA, we talked about vaping and tips and tricks. I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll take this time.

Great to see you again and it was wonderful to get to meet your lovely lady. See you again in a week or two!


Back ups and back ups of back ups. It's never a bad thing and you can never have too much.

I love Eric, great dude that goes above and beyond. He sent me a whole bag of replacement o-rings for my Davide Minis just because I asked when they would be available since I had lost or broken a few of mine.

I just started out ordering hardware from Sweet-Vapes so that's who I end up ordering most of my stuff from if all things are equal but DV is just as top notch.

No one has to take back anything, especially something that could have been dropped or damaged by user error. That's definitely above and beyond.

He's a small business also, just him and his wife. Probably hurts a bit to absorb that cost.

It all comes back to the ideal that "Value and Price are two very different things".

You could always dip your drip tip in hot sauce before vaping. Hey, maybe you're on to something there...

A little ranch dip and then a broccoli vape...hmmm

I know I am way off subject but I just have to say it. That little cool guy with the shades on in my profile picture is my Grandson Brandtly who is turning 2 years old today. I just could not hold the proud Grandma back.

Ok, I'll drop the hamfisted vape techniques and give it a shot. I can be Zen too


As for the raise, you may not see it in actual $$ but what goes around, comes around, dear.

See? You got me gettting all philisophical now....

*puts down hamfists*

Oh my....Kanger is going Apple with the "S"
