Which side is your drill on?
Mostly right but sometimes when I am not well than left
Spine problems
Double right for me, I started that way, didn’t realize I was an odd ball until I started watching more vids. Almost everybody seems to have the drill on their left lol.
I'm right handed but run the spool in my left. My swivels we're hooked up to a wall so that's what started it for me. And figured I could hold the trigger longer with my dominant hand.That's funny because I thought I was an oddball (drill on the left) then I saw that it's just all over the place, drill on the left, drill on the right, and doesn't seem to match up with handedness either
I see a lot of tutorials where the drill is on the right, squidoode, raymo2u, m terk, sherlock hohms, others... I figured they couldnt ALL be left handed lol, so I was doing it backwards but it feels way more natural
That's why I started this thread

I think my drill is 550rpm. I get caught up going that fast most times. Full speed for me is about 450 I'd sayYou know, the drill I used to use had a firm trigger and my left hand got tired and sore pretty fast, this one I got now though I can hold it down just a little pressure plus it goes really fast, I can build all day (except for my back and eyes getting tired)
I'm just trying to figure out WTH a drill has to do with vaping?

Others use it to kill tootle-puffers ;-)
Once people start burning down government buildings no more USPS. You'll have to get your supplies through fedex or UPS.And here I thought we were friends. Shows what I know.
I do know that when the FDA cracks the whip, only tootle puffers will be able to vape... no one else will be able to afford it, unless they win the lottery. 30ml a day gets expensive when ejuice costs $5/ml. And only tootle-puffers can stealth vape.

I do clockwise but my drill is in the right hand and spool on left.I'm right handed. My drill is on the left and the wrap spool is in my right hand.
And to throw more possibilities to the mix, for regular claptons, fused claptons, etc. my drill is turning counter-clockwise. The only time my drill turns clockwise is for alien decores, tightening screws, and actual drilling...

As much as I paid for some of my mechs, I keep them polished.And what are those objects pictured?
I never polish any of my vape gear. If I happen to notice a smudge, I might wipe it away. Or I might not. Some of you folks are decidedly anal. Or afflicted with OCD, or SOMETHING.

It's called a mech (or 510) polishing jig (or rig) for polishing a tube mech, and that typically comes with an additional jig for polishing an atomizer. If you google for them you'll see they're fairly common stuff in the vaping world. If the finish on the mod or atomizer is either lacquered or cerakoted, I just wipe them off, whereas the shiny metal ones I try to keep shiny as a mirror by using Cape Cod polishing cloths (they smell like vanilla), and a microfiber towel.And what are those objects pictured?

They aren't necessarily always overpriced, as some of them can be had for just a few bucks, like, around $4 or even less.Those overpriced, wonky-lookin' things either thread the aty and mount to spin on drill OR thread the mech - to spin on the drill.
I thought you had $9400 coming from SmokieLearn sumpin every day, I do.

(all my mods are cheap, that's the only kind I can afford!)
A decent clone of a shiny metal (copper or brass) tube mech such as the Broadside, for example, can already be had for like only $15.Learn sumpin every day, I do.

The bad smell stays away if you keep it polished all the time, but some people prefer to instead DIY patina it so it never smells. The final steps in the DIY process are to spray-clearcoat the patina multiple times and then polish it only one time after that... there exists a forum thread on here explaining every step, and, the other required ingredients are typically all cheap, like, an old plastic container with a lid, some tying wire, paper towels, a bit of ammonia or vinegar, and a few tablespoons of regular kitchen salt, for example.Never seen any use for such; I dislike the smell of either. Both my tube mechs, in my Vapocalypse stash, are stainless steel. Both were about $35-$40.

I love a patina myself. An aged beauty.The bad smell stays away if you keep it polished all the time, but some people prefer to instead DIY patina it so it never smells.

Actually it's a no patience needed. Lol just set up a Tupperware container large enough for the mod. Throw some paper towel in the bottom. A dash or two of ammonia. I mix up sea salt and ammonia in a bottle for spritzing. Get the mod spritzed and sprinkle salt on for the blues. Mustard can be applied for yellows and reds. It keeps from being patinaed. While the salt attacks the rest. I do about 24 hours. Rotate and Spritz every couple except while sleeping. Then I just wash off in warm water. It's really easier than it reads typed up.Those *are* very nice looking. Not sure I have the patience, but given that I suffered a HDD crash 2 days ago and spent a whole day staring at my phone just trying to distract myself, and today, pretty much the whole day getting my new HDD and new Winblows setup again... maybe I do have patience for minutiae.

Arthritis/Carpal sucks.. Good luck getting the apropos diagnosis - and service - either way.
Ring finger LEFT now pops up and down with pain making/openiong a fist.. (easier to move it with right hand)
Right middle tries to emulate same-same...
(all this after necrotic arthritis in the right hip and severed-nerve before that in the left pinky)
"It's all in your head. You need more exercise."
Yes. Hence the nerve-surgery to pinky - since it was perceiving when I curled the hand around a latch. (You don't get to control WHEN, only HOW). After 15 years with that rotten hip, the HOW got easier with tobacco and beer - I still could not control when it would buckle and collapse under me. On stairs? YOu fall and roll and hit concrete and curse and get up.
"I don't even understand how you could walk" - Badly, you bastard - I just kept going.
"What do you mean you are not taking the pain pills??" - Just what I said: you have no clue about pain. (I am still using those pills. 5 years after surgery).
