instead of posting pictures of your pins, how about measuring them like i did?

I don't think you know what your measuring. Again, good luck to you guy.

New vapers, make sure the positive pin (the thing in the middle of the 510 connection) sticks out way past the threads of the 510 threads.

Friend you are wrong. So wrong it could cost a family to lose a father/mother or a son/daughter. Please new vapers don't listen to this guy.

Poppa when you wake from your comma don't blame vaping, have some balls and tell the local news you blame yourself. have a safe night.

I'm sure it's okay he's been vaping on it for 3 weeks if he hasn't blown up by now I guess he understands the diffrence between a 510 connection and the center pin.

no i don't. but i did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night :p

I guess what gheed is asking is how did you remove the center pin so you could file down the 510 connection. without filing down the center pin.
Simple.. unscrew the coil from the base..use a thin screwdriver from the inside where the coil was and gently push the pin out the bottom, leaving the white grommet in place... File off a couple threads on the 510, re install the pin back into its grommet and your done.. But look, I don't recommend doing this if you don't know exactly what you're doing...just sayin

I think gheed wanted to know if that is what he did and not just filed the whole thing down.

he/she doesn't understand the difference, he/she has to be tolling. I don't want some random newb comming in here thinking he/she can use any subtank on a hybrid connection. If he's/she's not a troll I'll pray to whatever the fuck for his/her safety.

Blackjack is a loser game. go play hold'em, or better yet go play O8, if you underdtand it.

is this your work? if so, gorgeous is the first word that comes to mind. i've never real been able to get into working with wood and hand tools.

this is more my speed:d-jet_image2.jpg
this was my baby from the time S/N001 landed in London, until the program was canceled. i worked on almost every single tool that was used to make the two second air frames. if it needed to be held for bonding, machining or welding, i probably made it. airworthiness, destructive and non-destructive testing. this guy.

i don't do things half-assed. i measure things with precision interments. i look at all the angles. if there is a risk or hazard, it is accessed and then a decision is made.

there is nothing wrong with this choice that i have made as far as i can see see. and if nothing has happened at this point, as long as my RTA is screwed down tight, nothing will happen. trust me dude i'll remind you every time we bump into each other that i'm alive and still have a face.

I don't know what all this talk about hands is about ...I have wide hands with shortish fingers...but I have big ears, bad teeth and a big cock.....women don't care about hand size...

but can you lick your eyebrows? i sit in the corner and groom; they come to me in waves......

Oh fuck no ...that's not my work.. that is a house designed by the green brother two architects who were part of the craftsmen movement. sorta 1900 to the 1940s ..most of their homes are in southeren ca..I was fortunate enough to work on homes of a couple of their contemperaries Julia Morgan and a guy named Maybeck up in norhteren ca....the green brother were a cut above....nobody like them.

If anyone is on the fence regarding the SMPL+, all I can say is that the palladium coating on the negative contact pits like a mofo. This is with DeOxit Gold applied after every four cell swaps. Thinking of just sanding it down to reveal raw copper...

This is exactly why I am hesitant to offer ANY help with mechs until I am sure the person has taken the REQUIRED time to learn the basics.
If they can't be bothered, then let them blow their face off, without my assistance.
Then why bother posting if you ain't got anything to help the op. FAQ you and that type of mindset a lot of us vapers want to know more and explore all the options of vaping. There was a time too that you did not know FAQ all.

Guys can i use my battery's positive pin facing down (towards the vent holes) on smpl v2 clone (rem)

https://www.fasttech.com/products/2294103
You can, but I would advise battery up unless the mod is designed for it. If you get a tear battery up, the mod will autofire so you will know. Battery down, as soon as you press the switch you have a hard short, and the first you will know is when your battery heats up rapidly. It could even vent if you went far enough.

now to piss some peeps off........

i use a Kanger Sub Tank Mini on my SMPL. i have done as such from day one with my mech. simple, compact, leak proof, and always ready to go. it is my daily pocket puffer. i also use this set-up, well as a set-up for a chance to educate the *you'll blow your face off* crowd. for the most part, this seems to be some dumb twit working behind the counter at a vape shop.

if you do ALL the required safety checks (batteries, coils, pins, etc), you WILL be fine. http://www.steam-engine.org/batt.asp is a tinkering vapers best friend.

as for the, "you'll blow your face off" crowd........ education is the key. we deal with enough hysteria from outside of our community, please don't add to it.

Exactly. Enough about mechs being unsafe. Most mech users know ohm's law, battery safety etc. New mech users tend to ask a lot of questions and start to learn quickly. Dotmod 300 can blow up. Smok sticks can blow up. Lost vape makes sticky buttons. I can go on. Regulated users are generally okay but I cannot tell you how many times I've seen unsafe nbateries in regulated mods. Ask anyone who works in a vale shop and they have stories about regulated users who a rev simply not being safe. Common sense rules. There are indeed sub ohm tanks with protruding pins. Check the tank (I use almost only RDAs so I am not sure of all the makes that protrude). There are RDAs I would not sit on a hybrid too.

I have been using mech mods exclusively. All my squonks are mechanical. Today I just got ahold of a black reacted Dreamer and the guy gave me a black 24mm Goon to put on top. Yay. Now I ytake the batteries out when I transport mechs (even those with locking mechanisms). I see regulated users with mods that do not shut off (they go to standby) transporting their devices with batteries inside as a common practice. Not smart. Lipos can explode too.

As had been said a thousand times - learn safety rules when handling ANY device. Darwin's law is in play.

Rant over.

thank you very much dude for the help
