0.08 through 0.15 based on what i feel like (dual parrallels 24g SS or 26g SS ribboned with flat n80 are my go to these days). the former gives you 0.08, the later 0.15

Sounds about right for ss. For some odd reason I taste something funny with ss coils. I have n80 and n90 coils, that's my preferred metal plus never changes ohms

This was mine after a few months of light use, you an see the paint / cerakote whatever purge did on this one wears off at the grip

That's the Twiztid 20700 "Stingray", correct? Below is a picture of my "Mako". The spray paint does not come off, and I know a guy who uses his Mako for his daily beater... no paint coming off his either. I also own the Turbo Stingray Stacked (that came with the extension piece already included in the package) and a separate Twiztid Stingray extension piece to go with that. The Viper mod that we are discussing here is not spray painted, though. It's cerakoted so the color gradient is baked firmly into the ceramic coating itself.

Here's a pic of how they do the painting. Maybe you should just try asking them for a repaint or maybe even let them do a custom cerakoting on it... I suspect the latter choice won't be cheap, but hey, it's real authentic American badassery and besides, you only live once! :)

That color is dope.
I'm on a purge kick, trying to sell more of my collection to get a serenity mod by purge. Its def worth $300+
I'm also considering doing a egg patina on my brass b2b v4, or torching it at 500°for a color change

Oh mine is sold already, it was also a bit too tall for my taste. Now on a twisted 18650 and a Slim piece, the slam piece is not attractive to me ( reminds me of using 26650 tubes back in the day)

Yeah I have a slam clone, dont care for it because it is big. Hits fine just too much like a 26650 mod. I thought about getting a Slim piece though

I own the Serenity both in brass and in stainless steel. Every Purge mod that's 18650 and uses a male tube can be turned into a 20700 mod, and vice versa, just by switching the male tube with the other type so it really is clever design, and there's something about Mat Hagermann's engravings that just keeps on messing with my brain. :)

glad you like it but tried a friends' and just not my cup of tea, 28mm is the top limit for me (medium sized hands?), cant imagine using the Side piece comfortably

All you need for that is a 20700 male tube. You can either buy one separately or just use one that's part of a 20700 Purge mod that also uses one, such as, for example, the Suicide King 20700, the Suicide Queen, the Speak No Evil 20700, or the Pandora... the male tube is the bottom section that you screw in between the top section and the button (that is, if it's a mod that uses one).

Hmm well I have the skull 18650 mod where it has the top sleeve, and I have the grenade but sleeve doesnt come off, and the viper mod, and enforcer and b2b v4. Can I make this happen....

This type of stuff is what I was referring to:
http://www.evcigarettes.com/purge-20700-male-tubes-by-purge-mods
http://www.evcigarettes.com/suicide-king-20700-mech-mod-by-purge-mods
http://www.evcigarettes.com/murdered-out-suicide-king-20700-mech-mod-by-purge-mods
http://www.evcigarettes.com/suicide-queen-20700-mech-purge-mods

http://www.evcigarettes.com/speak-no-evil-20700-mech-purge-mods
http://www.evcigarettes.com/pandora-blue-20700-mech-mod-by-purge-mods

Compared to the 18650 male tube of your Skull mod, a 20700 male tube measures 5mm longer at the bottom and has a bigger bore, but the outer diameter and the screw threads are identical on both so that's how.

You can also tell from the ultem piece at the bottom. Slim Piece is bad ass.

yeah slim, thought about the slam but tried a friend and it's just too thick for me

I've been eyeing the Slim piece fro a while. I was between that one and one other Purge. I already have one Purge clone and another on the way, but I want at least one authentic.

I use the piece a lot more but always wanted the twistd 18650, I'm planning on buying 1 more (the viper or a b2b). But this popped up in my radar and is the next purchase:

you said "this mod is small and with 20s batteries it kicks"

did you mean 20xxx battery or some samsung battery? (sorry I only use Sonys and never paid attention to other brands for 18650"
