Vtr Modding

[devdev]

Pre-chop, top removed


First cut

Little progress, lots of noise...


Bulk of the work finished

All done, now just needs a tidy up

Cutting stones

510 pin removed. The white grommet is the faulty bit. You can just make out the tear in the grommet which seems to make it short out and give the dreaded VTR 'Non' error.

Check the pin, firmed up with 3mm O rings. This config didnt work, and I managed to get it fixed with 2 3mm o rings and some heat shrink

Wonder if this will unlock the modding badge for me

Maybe if you and the Afriville team do good.

Behold!

Looks great dev. Except for the fact it looks like it's been through the war . Are you going to wrap it?

Yeah I did a trial wrap before I did the circumcision. The aluminium has an industrial grade adhesive, which sticks like crap to a blanket. I am busy cleaning the gunk off, and it will looks good as new. But yes, then its wrapping time

 

[Gizmo]

Awesome stuff. Nice to see the VTRs getting the attention they deserve

Yeah I am just preying that the work I did on the pin sorts out the 'Non' error once and for all. When I first got this puppy i loved it.

Well done craftsmaster.

 

[devdev]

Hahahaha. Stark contrast in our approaches @Cape vaping supplies

The sledgehammer approach vs the scalpel

 

[Gizmo]

Don't worry dev I'm more of the sledgehammer guy. If it wasn't for rowan it would have been one messy diy job. I am not very good with my hands nor do I have patience. :l

Amazing modifications there @devdev and @Cape vaping supplies
Admire your determination

 

[vaalboy]

Great modifications. Looks nice and compact too.

That looks so very sweet! Would the Nautilus fit after that modification?

I doubt it you will have to remove the ring. I was persistent and did not want to loose the ring
