Memory Lane 4 days ago! @Ken_O_Where or anyone who loved their pure mechs in the day…I just had to post this. I thought these days were over but someone out there is still hobbying.
Holy shirt that thing is awesome, 5 please!
When i used to hang out at our first vape shop a fella came in with an electrical box mod he made, flip the switch on/off just like the lights. Another fella machined his own atty, the electrical box mod was pretty cool but the atty the other fella made was crap but he made it himself. Every once in awhile you would see something like that and this reminds me of that kind of homemade stuff.
Thanks for sharing that video, Todd… So cool he is still around.

Truly, a trip down memory lane! 2015 ~ My very first box mod ever! The old Sigelei 150. (it was all @daath 's influence)
Wattage! Voltage! Coil Ohms! Battery Meter!!! Uptown living now boys and girls!
AND sporting a full metal Kayfun on top!
Yeah… my Kayfun steel tank set up is about the only thing which can take the abuse I put my daily kit through every day at the theatre (my work place), on the trail, in the kayak, or accomplishing to-do yard/house fix tasks for both of my girls. Over time, I’ve learned kit limitations and what to take in the field, so as to not be disappointed.
Back in the day, I thought I would die if I didn’t get this kit.
Metal Madness Poldiac w/TNS Atomizer
I also thought (foolishly) that obtaining an early serial numbered piece of kit was the ultimate get! Little did I know, all the kinks of R&D/manufacturing hadn’t quite been sussed out yet! I learned my lesson with the TNS!
Yeah… I also learned that certain tanks were way more beleaguering with which to deal.
Mine had 25 stinking parts! Deliver me!
But… once you got the dang thing coiled/wicked up properly, loaded with your favorite juice, and a fresh battery in the tube… pure delight!
I guess some things are worth the pain in the butt after all!
I still have mine. Will never let it go. Before I had a decent ohms reader I always used the Sigelei 150 to test resistance because it was so accurate. I could always rely on it.
The first RTA (Ready To Assemble) Genny? I watched the entire vid. I would have liked to see him throw a build on it. This is one I never came across, wow.
I don’t have the proper fancy recording setup, never have… but, if I can figure out how to do it (worth watching) on a phone, I’ll do a build session, just for fun and educational purposes. I’ve tried in the past… but, the “editing process” is such a pain in the butt; it’s discouraging.
It took me quite a while to come up with my own build, which didn’t annoy the crap out of me every time I had to change the wick. However, I eventually found my way, as not to be thwarted on a daily basis by a chunk of stainless steel.
