Can't wait to see it once it's polished! Looking great so far!

Although @hands who is far more experienced using acrylic than me has been trying to help me out,I've tried every polishing compound I have on a test piece and don't like any of the results.In the end I used T Cut and then a car polish.If I come up with something better I'll try it.Made the mod a little bigger than I would with wood just in case it turns out to be fragile but I think it will be OK.
@Genosmate it looks awesome!
So beautiful!
Wowsers
Absolutely beautiful! So mutch want!Technically this one shouldn't be here.
I've been thinking about building a dual 18650 mechanical squonker but with the batteries in series,just curious about the 'series' bit,but first want to try the theory.
As usual I don't understand how to make it work because when it comes to 'power' and 'wires' I'm doff! So a quick pm to @johan who always helps me by explaining things very simply and I have the idea.
I don't want to make anything fancy just out of what I have laying around.So a block of acrylic and a bit of plastic from an old fax machine tray for the door.
I used a Reo spring so its got some protection and make it so the battery connects with the underside of the 510,used another bit of plastic as a battery separator and an old battery for a button.Can take everything out to clean it and none of those magnets inside.
And now I see what its about,now to design the squonker.

Great job as always John. PS: I'm a simple man, that's why the explanations are always simple

Oh my god. I want you to take my money. What are the proper channnels to enquire about a purchase?...
Perhaps some inspiration from the rolo bf conversion for a dual squonker is in order
The noisy cricket might also be a decent look with a slightly larger centre space to accommodate for a thin and narrow bottle.
Whatever you do though we will be waiting and watching to see your beautiful creations.
Don't know how you'll explain Mosfets and DNA's etc to me when I get to them @johanGreat job as always John. PS: I'm a simple man, that's why the explanations are always simple
Sorry I don't sell stuff at the moment but maybe somethings coming.
Thanks @Christos,I thought about the Rolo shape as Ive already made a dual 18650 squonker (but in parallel) in a similar shape,didn't think of the thin bottle that'll maybe be worth a look,problem with a shape similar to the noisy cricket or a box is that if its made from wood it will be about 65mm wide.Perhaps some inspiration from the rolo bf conversion for a dual squonker is in order

I'll be able at assist with the mosfet wiring as I have done it before.
The dna wiring I should be able to assist as well even though I have not done it before.
P.S.
An idea for a different bottle.
It seems you will always be limited by the size of the bottle neck. Even the smaller bottles have a round bottleneck.
Still I think it's an avenue to look into though.
just SIMPLE as always
We maybe need to discuss this Johan.
I just built this mod quickly to see what the fuss was about with a 'series mod',i knew that the batteries I use would be safe in terms of amp rating based on the coils I wanted to try so just went ahead and did it.
I had a couple of toots on Sunday afternoon but yesterday gave it horns.................not a good idea
after coughing and spluttering I decided to check the wattage I was vaping at,its 156.8,jeez I nearly blew my head off
I think the best shape is probably like the Rolo or the Triangular one in the first pic of the thread.
If we ask nicely I'm sure the current owner can measure it or take some comparative pics for us ............Mr @Rob Fisher
Would be happy to @Genosmate... but @hands has it in his possession right now... I have a feeling I may have to send a Seal Team to fetch it for me.

When I polished a P67 recently I thought it might be a nice project to try and turn a standard Reo into a sort of P67 trying to use a many of the original parts as I could.
I set out with the intention of making this another polished mod but I like the brushed look so much I'm keeping it that way for now.
The 'inset' on the back is filled with dyed stabilised wood dust and again I was going to CA finish and polish it,but I like it as is because it matches the mod.

Good job John. I like the look of this one, how tight is the button push on your side firing REO?
