Polishing Vape Gear

Thanks to @Intuthu Kagesi and his driptip polishing tool idea:

- Take 2x M6 Rawl Bolts
- Remove the splitter nut in the back
- cut off the piece with the 3 points
- stick them back on a longer bolt with a nut in the rear
- Voila! You have a 810 driptip polishing tool

Now to find the right magoleys for a 510 driptip polishing tool...

I love it! ... It's even better than "the original", as you effectively have a locking nut, and can buff clockwise or anticlockwise without anything coming adrift :h:

Well done!
 
Round one on the Vaporous and Dead Rabbit SQ, they will have to go for another session but the first operation turned out successful.

Thanks again to @Rob Fisher and @Intuthu Kagesi for your valuable input and guidance, I still have a long way to go to perfecting it, but I am enjoying this journey down the rabbit hole a lot!

Hey, you get smaller Rawl bolts for the 510 driptips then. They gou down to about 3mm. But that one is one piece bolt with a cone end.

Or ... Just use an 50mm long M3, M4 or M5 bolt or screw and nut, (as appropriate) ... and do the "file trick" to taper the two ends like the original suggestion ;)

IMG_20210120_221158.jpg these ones then you'd only have to machine(make) a cone for one end.
 
So for everybody that wants to try this. Without having all the know how and the tools. Thanks to @Intuthu Kagesi and @DarthBranMuffin here is another way. 5mm Rawl stud and a matching nut will do the trick. Fits perfectly and no machining necessary.
You guy's rock!

Looking at last night's pic I realised she needed some special attention.... something very satisfying about bringing life back to a Titan!

Carry on like this, and between you and Rob, you'll have a polishing and detailing company going pretty soon ;)

Well done on that Titan ... "I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed it", as my grandchildren would say
 
Univapo Symba and Kaifun Lite

I do not have a mod to match the Symba with, so decided to change that.

Kayfun just needed to be shiny(er).

Wow! :clap: ... You certainly are taking this this mod and tank buffing to new heights ... that's an amazing transformation ... Well done! :campeon:
 
A while back I got my hands on a Tauren RDTA, the Black rendition. As some of you may know, this ended up being my favorite RDTA (and I have been the butt of a few jokes in the process due to my Tauren addiction). But my love for this RDTA put me on a quest to find another, but I was looking for a SS version, which ended up being the quest for the holy grail...

Now all of this transpired before I started delving into the world of "polishing vape gear" as my thoughts looking at this thread was always: "oooh so nice and shiny, pity I won't be able to do that myself.."

But then, thanks to @Rob Fisher and @Intuthu Kagesi I was able to get all the right tools (physically and mentally) to take the next step. From there I have tried and tested a few other tanks and drippers to see how deep I can go along this newly found passage of the rabbit hole.

That brought me to the next logical conclusion: to get another Black Tauren RDTA for the sake of taking the old one and making my own SS version of it.

Well, after 3 days of tinkering and fiddling and spinning and turning, the results came out better than expected... I have managed to turn my favorite into a sexy shiny glorious uber favorite!

I'm at a loss for words on multiple levels ... WOW! ... You've taken the game to a whole new level, and I think I'll be coming to you for lessons at this rate!

Well done! :campeon:

BP Mods Pioneer MTL RTA:

Original topcap slightly damaged, so decided to go with the Blade Topcap.

Just need to find the right 510 driptip. For now this one will do.

If you want to straighten any of those "fins"; Something we used to do on our air cooled bikes, (and baby bee motors too) ... Find some thin metal sheeting that fits snugly in all the gaps, and then clamp it down and you should have straight "fins" once again ;)

As to the driptip ... get a clear plastic one, and use a coarse buffing compound on it, which will give you the same finish you have on the tank itself :)
 
Hellvape Passage RDA:

Round 1 done, still have a bit of blue in the knurling, and the Logo needs some fine work done.
