Hoggy Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi, does anybody know where to get that special-composition copper plug for determining a mod's internal resistance? All the links I've found are now dead in March 2019. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayneo Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 His name was Ed, and I had contacted him in the past at SmokeFreeMods@gmail.com Others have used 510 tightening tools, but not out of copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 You can get a 510 to 510 adapter and fill the female threaded end with solder.... works for me.... just a link to show you a picture of the adapter.. https://www.fasttech.com/product/1563302-510-to-510-adapter-for-e-cigarettes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwcraig1 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I use an old cartomizer with it's end soldered shut, it works just as good as any other. But who these days has an old carto lying around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just junked all my ancient stuff a couple weeks ago. But more importantly is that I HATE dealing with solder.. We don't really get along too well. I can fumble my way around in a pinch, but if there's a way I can avoid it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I did this with the solder and paste used to solder water pipes (silver bearing solder and lead free tinning flux) using a miniature torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacVap Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I use the tightening tool mentioned: https://www.fasttech.com/product/7462700 I have another one from there. Both work the same as the brass rod I threaded myself (they all show the same resistance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. I already ordered one of the fancy ones. I was going to get 2 in case I lose one, but that price. So I guess I'll do the next best thing - get 1 of the fancy ones, and get one of the FT ones on my next order from them. Gotta love FT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
