Just finished my Eagle 66 oil can style copy. I wanted something better than the generic plastic squeezer, always looking for the cap.
I used 2 black oxide allen screws but the top one lost its oxide when brazing, hence the odd looking 1 black and 1 silver.
Thats a 1.0mm mig tip for the nozzle...
Updated to include the WoToFo SMRTcoil pack nex mesh CHILL version... bought from Juicy Joes @ R100.
I was reluctant to try the finer "Extreme" mesh as it might generate too much heat in the Zenith.
My 0.3 ohm Z coil burnt out after only 900 puffs, bear in mind Im using it at lowly 28 fisher watts and I use refresh often.
Being somewhat disappointed, I decided to pull it apart to see if it could be rewicked.
I used a 10mm spanner to hold the base and wiggled the top cap with a pliers.
I...
Its a pod that you replace not rewick.

If the pod's wick is still good, then maybe you can just refill it.
He strats the refill at the 4:58 mark.
Thats par for the course with the cheap tactile switches, I've replaced one of my mods 4 times. The ones from the electronics store(Yebo electronics) arent much better.
Strange they just used a grommet, my OG gen definitely has a spring, perhaps its a cost cutting exercise. :(
I bought a clone to see what the hoopala was about.
The Dvarw marking in the side has no ridges feeling with the finger nail, so it might just be acid etched.
The bottom is all stamped lettering, no laser engraving anywhere.The pic looks deceptively laser engraved, but thats just reflected...
I actually meant the grout bottle, like perhaps there's a similar version like a caulking gun.
I'm using various scrapers/ spackle tools, but find a silicone rubber spatula works best.
I'll probably try using the silicone tube from my caulking gun when its empty.
My buksie way of grouting, bigger bottle is for larger areas, dont know if there's a pro tool for the job, but I found the squeegee method very messy with lots of sponging afterwards.
Thanks for the info, I had YT'd lino removal and tried most of the methods.
Best so far is @Resistance suggestion of TFC glue remover, doesnt clean as thoroughly as paint stripper, but theres less leftover residue.
The pong is something else though.
I tried a water based paint stripper last nite and while it works fairly well, it leaves a gummy residue behind that needed a lot of scrubbing with soap to remove.
Im concerned that the tile adhesive might not stick to that area now.
I also tried a towel soaked in water to soften the paper bits...
Struggling to peel off the kitchen lino prior to tiling, tried heatgun, paint scrapers, sharpened spade etc.
Anybody have a better plan, perhaps @Resistance ?
Concluding this thread with my most ambitious casting thus far, a 200mm dia cast clock face.
All the numerals, logo's etc were 3D printed and glued onto a mdf disk which was used as the pattern for sand molding.
The Banksy NYC clock graffiti was the inspiration.

Never seen them, good luck finding them in SA.
BigClive did a review and found that the solder didnt penetrate to the core.
I'll stick with the traditional method thanks.
