would probably require a slightly wider box, but the ohmsmium chip isn't very big I don't think...much of it would be in the side wall of the box, if it was mounted to the side...leave the faceplate more surface mounted then flush mountedLOL Christ, man, where am I supposed to fit alllllll of that?!?

My current build on the Hadaly....28 gauge 430SS, 3 strands twisted, then hammered flat 3mm ID, .25 ohms......beastly, but because it's 430SS, so increases ohms as it heats up, it doesn't vape too hot. A nice flavorful vape
It's colored that way because I just pulled the wick to change flavors....already ran 10ml through the coil

So much easier to build on then the Derringer
Fuck the Frankenfake.
Happy for those of you who found it a nifty bargain mod.
Me...I'm done. I'm turning it into a fucking cat toy.
a) I HATE the way the battery squeezing up against the bottle squeezes up against the firing flapper and changes the nice click into a tough press.
b) I don't like the overly skinny post that NOTHING fits on
c) don't like that none of my atties work on the 510
d) don't like the danger of peeling a battery against the edge of the chinesium contact plates
Yeah, I could replace the 510. Yeah, I could replace the bottle. Yeah I could taper the contact plate edges. Maybe.
Or I could buy a decent fucking mod in the first place.
Also, yeah, I took apart the 510 to see what it would take to replace it, or at least fix that it's too deep.
Yeah I put it back together. Yeah I forgot an insulator.
Yeah, that battery got HOT. First time I ever thought "where's that fucking lipo charging bag I never used even once?"
Excellent - bag was handy, right there by the old charger!
Yeah, that battery actually looks a tiny bit deformed. Didn't vent, but I'm not takin' out of that bag until I figure out where to get rid of it.
So, Yeah - it's my fault, but still, fuck the Frankenfake.
Oh, and fuck Radio Shack too - because they DON'T recycle batteries - not the one near me...

Pretty sure I need one of those.Proof of concept:

Sorry you had a shitty experience with a mod like that. I know Wally World (Wal-Mart) does recycling of batteries, Home Depot & I think Lowe's does as well.
Finely took a couple pictures of my Monty squonker....
Love this little guy.....
Dogfood lolI see he has a lovely outdoor view, one of Monty's favorite spots
Inspired color scheme, as you can see
Can you make one with the squonk hole in the front?....I really dislike side squonk mods for some reason. Guess I'm accustomed to the GDEAL mods.
Finally able to take one of my most favorite mods off the Disabled list. I first made this about 3 years ago it was going to be my take on a Phidias Woodimus but right before I added the inlay I discovered that fonosmaok was still actively making them so I stopped trying to make it an exact copy of his. This is how it ended up.
Used it for about a year even though I had no mosfet protecting the switch. Then the spring on the battery contact. slowly caused the top to separate from constant tension.
So I reglued the original top and then I changed out the battery contacts tried a less powerful spring also changed to a different 510 (recessed) and added a mosfet. Ended up like this.
Went along fine until last month when the top came off again. So this time I made a new top. And got rid of the battery contact spring all together. Replaced the 510 with a FD V4. Moved mosfet and replaced bottle It is still the smallest 18650 squonker I have. and still gives a great vape. Have been trying it with various atties. But after I got a new Derringer V3 in I went with that. I think lower profile atties look best on this one. Here is what it looks like now.
After working on this one throughout the years it reminds me why I went from using Poly and Lacquers as a finish. To Mineral oil and wax. Because it is not only easier for me to repair. But also any of my customers who accidentally drop their mod and put a dent or a scratch on it can just sand out the imperfection and reapply wax and they are back to brand new again. Plus it just feels so darn much better.
As an addendum to my post. I wanted to talk about the new bottle. After I had ordered them and they were on the way from fasttech. I read some comments on here that they were pretty bad and not worth it. So after I received them I tried to see what I could do to salvage them. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and multiple fills So far working great. Here is what I did.
Compared and replaced the tubing that came with it. The tubing I use on my mods is much thicker but still goes thru the hole in the top cap.
You just have to cut it so it comes to a point to wiggle it through. I also slid a o-ring on the tube that will seal the opening of the bottle so no leaks down the bottle threads. and finally cleaned up the bottle top with a file so the o-ring would sit flush.
So if anyone (my previous customers especially) who ordered some of these bottles from fasttech and wants to try out this fix just let me know.
