What about a copper scrub pad like chorboy? I don't think it's very deep as I used many grits and mostly fine all the way too 1500 grit. I have plenty peroxide as i really would rather have a natural copper tarnish.

I used wet and dry automotive sandpaper by Gator. If that's the case and you think it will oxidize normally with a hperoxide bath I'll try that. It doesn't appear plated, I've sanded on it several times to remove the odd tarnish as normal acids and salt did nothing to clean it. I watched a review about the 4nine and I think I'll be perfectly happy with it. But I'm gonna watch reviews on the Penny,Pegasus and Overdose and Vanilla mods also. But I do take your opinions higher in consideration than videos. Those just help to see the insides.

I'm not sure who made the Stingray, but it's a full tube set with the drip tip included. The black coating lasted 2 days. I already had to replace the magnets after 1.5 months.

I'm thinking the copper in my once black stingray may not be the best of copper due to the color the tarnish turns pink. I actually wrapped it in clear tape after polishing it to seal it, works well so far. With the 4nines cap the atomizers center pin connects to the top of the battery right? What do you do with a flush non adjustable atomizer? How's the recessed switch feel on the clones? Is it a spring or magnetic setup and can it be swapped to magnets if need be?

I'm looking to add another mech clone to my pile. Are copper mechs sold sealed so they don't tarnish quickly? I ask as I bought a black coated Stingray wich was copper underneath, But the Black coating was crap and I soon had to sand it off and expose the copper. It tarnished quickly but the bad part is the tarnish looks like a dirty pink color. I just don't want to buy another headache to keep clean. I love to looks of the 4nine copper mod but I find the top cap with no pin may be a fitment nightmare? I only use flat top VTC5's but I do have small magnets to help adjust them. I also like the copper Penny mod clone, and the copper Overdose any comments? I like the recessed button on these.

I own 2 mechs and 2 Magma's and I want to add a 3rd setup of the same so I can have 3 juices ready to go at all times. To me I'd buy a kayfun clone as I feel the market is ready for a better replacement that will be even better real soon. Or find an original barely used for a fraction of the cost of new.

That sounds like a plan,ty!

I'm thinking a dual coil single strand 28 gauge micro coil at about 7 wraps.

That's gonna be rough since the lowest gauge I have is 28. That 22 gauge coil would be a rather low resistance build wouldn't it? Or is it just a single coil? As for wire I have 32,30 and 28 gauge and the .8 ribbon flat wire.

I've had my two Magma's a week now and I've used the same setup on both and it's the only ones I've tried. 28 gauge twisted with .8 flat ribbon dual coils with 8 wraps at .45ohms. I'm wanting to experiment on one as it's due to be dry burned and rewicked anyhow. Btw I'm using rayon for wicking and it's just great stuff. I'd like to hit around .8 - 1 ohm and try that range as everyone says it's a sweet spot on this rda. But doing dual coils makes it hard to do any twisted pairs, parallel a good way to try with 32 gauge? What do you guys suggest, pics aren't necessary as I can just Google foo it.

Just bought two Magma's and they are exceeding my expectations. Heavy well made, great design and very deep well, and the flavor is just amazing. So you know I bought mine at 88evape.com for $20 plus shipping and it's a very well made clone and the seller has been good also.

Giant Vapes has Boosted and I just got some in the mail a few days back, Very good imo. I'm finding Alice in Vapeland hard to find in stock anywhere. Jimmy the juice man seems to be the hot ticket atm, sells out at Giant in just a few minutes and actually crashed Giants website the last time it was in stock.

I use the one I have that just reads voltages several times a day on both of my mechs, but that one is much better. I'm gonna have to buy it too next payday.

http://sweet-vapes.com/accessories/miscellaneous/volt-ohm-wattage-meter.html That one is much better than mine and I think I need to try. http://sweet-vapes.com/accessories/miscellaneous/smoktech-omnitester.html This is the one I also described.

Was at a local shop called Vapor Station Columbus. I'll look for one like it on the web.

I have the inline voltage meter only and it reads the voltage drop pretty well also. I think I paid $12 for mine locally. Beats taking the battery out of the mod just to check how low it is. Sweet Vapes has the small ohm box you can not only screw your 510 atomizer onto bout you can also screw the who mech into it for a voltage reading also. Rechargeable batteries and charger built in, but I'd say it's not really all that portable. Iirc it will read vw/vv mods also, mine is useless on computer controlled mods.

A VW mod works just like a mech, we just adjust the resistance instead of the watts to do the same job. Coil surface area,airflow and wicking have to be more optimum to keep scorching from happening. It's a heck of a lot easier to hit a button to adjust the watts on a VW mod than it is to build a new coil and change the resistance with a mech. Until the new high amp VW mods like the DNA lines usually a VW mod couldn't do what a mech does.

I'll be shooting for .9ohms when my rayon shows up. .6 is a bit warm still for my tastes. I was able to justify the purchase of the second Magna knowing I could vape one and test coil builds on the other. Imo cream based juices I love that are lite in the flavor dept. Don't do very well at very low ohms. A few things I love about the Magma is the deep juice well that holds double what my smaller Double Cross rda does. Also it's 22mm so it looks natural on an 18650 mech, and the bigger build deck allows for more coil configurations without worry of it being too close to the posts or sides of the cap. I do wish someone would build a air intake in the top of the cap instead of level with the deck so juice won't leak out if you happen to overfill it.

The cell only went down too 3.5v and looks perfectly fine, I'll mark it so I keep an eye on it. I should have rinsed the mod, but the burnt taste is finally going away. I've always had issues with the Stingrays switch due to the floating top pin and binding in the switch. But should all be smooth sailing now, errrr I hope. Lol

PUBIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please for the love of beer and hookers, Check that your mechs firing button can hold the fire button safely with a heavy Magma rda on it. It had never been an issue before, but it was tonight. It's a copper mod and heavy anyhow, Plus it had crappy magnets in the switch. So I burnt my fingers when I picked it up, and burned them further trying to get the end cap off. Luckily all that was lost was my wick which tasted burnt also. The VTC5 cell was hot, but fine. But much longer I'm sure a fire would have happened. After a rewick I still taste the burnt juice unfortunately. I also just found replacement magnets online and using my Nemisis' bottom which was already upgraded to much stronger magnets afterI bought it.

Luckily all my new juice I just ordered was 4 bottles of 12mg, so that worked out. The clone was in a box saying "cigreen" on it, that store I bought it at I'm pretty sure buys from fasttech. It seems the 510 threaded post is short on the Magma making the post too short also, my stingray always needs fiddling when putting something new on it. The Nemisis is a lot easier to work with imo. Ok, back to vapen!

My rayon should be here soon so I'll leave the wicks a bit longer next time. I found a single wrap of a thin oring around the end of the post snugged it up and left it just a bit longer so the connection now fits my Stingray. Mine came with two premade coils that looked like 22 gauge and it came out too .2 ohms, way too hot for me. I went threw juice way to fast with it also. I did a 30g twisted dual coil at 10 wraps at .6 and I find it perfect. I prefer flavor over clouds but I can still do massive ones if I want too. With my Double Cross rda I stuck with 18mg, but now I'll be ordering 12mg and even some 6MG. I always think it will be impossible to make a better rba/rad and the next month they prove me wrong.

So I ordered one online and couldn't wait until it would be delivered in two days so I bought one locally also, Two is still better than one in the vaping world, right? This clone has a center post that isn't long enough to make contact on my Stingray clone, If I loosen the post to reach it fits loose and leaks into my mod. Anyone run into this? It works as is on my Nemisis with the adjustable top pin just fine. How about leaving the dripwell bare of cotton except for the wicks? Or do you find a small layer helps keep juice more in place? Sadly the one I bought today was black and a copper acv ring, my one in the mail is stainless. The coating may get sanded off if it starts looking beat up like I'm sure it will. Oh and BTW, The Magma is the best darn ANYTHING that uses a coil and wick. Best flavor hands down, but also produces massive vapor even on a .6 ohm thuper sekret Thundercat coil build! Lol j/k I'm just a normal skilled vapor.

When I use my Double Cross rda and kayfun concentrator DT I notice my vapor clouds are very deminished, but the flavor is much richer and almost wet feeling. Clouds do nothing for me visually. Of course I won't knock anyone if they find it pleasing, more power to them as long as it's done in a safe manner and away from judgemental eyes of non enlightened folk.

Did you try and boil it in case that could fix it? I ordered mine from Seattle Vapor Company, hopefully I have no issues. I have high hopes for it, but cotton works well since my builds are always .6 - .9ohms.
