The JB Squonker Thread

[Rob Fisher]

Refined a couple things on the side firing Reo and decided to play around with flat top.
I often get asked to modify Reo's but once I've done one I don't want to replicate it,I suppose I might part with one or two of my own but who wants a Reo with the same atty mated to it.
I fitted a spring loaded 510 so technically flat top isn't flat anymore,cut the button size down a bit,then had a play with some ink because the brass door is crap.
Cleaned the CC a bit as well.

@Genosmate - if I fly you out to Canada, would you do up a couple of these?

Brilliant, mate. Just brilliant. Capt Steve would approve.

I was speaking with @Paulie a few days ago and he asked if I'd made an 18650 series mod in wood.
I did make one from acrylic a while back but just to see if I could make it work.
This time I wanted to try and do it but CC Mod/Noisy Cricket shape,again just to see if I could do it,also wanted a removable bottom cap held in place by magnets and because I'm kak scared of the noisy cricket also fitted a collapsable spring.
Works well and I suspect very little voltage drop,I'll check it when I find out how!
Wood is nothing fancy just plain walnut with a buffalo horn/copper cap,might oil/ca glue finish it a some stage.

[Genosmate]

Ive been wanting to try a regulated mod for a while but when it comes to wires and boards I'm doff!
@hands cut the face plate and board out of a Koopor Mini and I decided to play with it,I like idea of a metal/wood combinations but its just a question of finding the right shape and wood/metal,this is a first stab at it.

 

[hands]

I am glad to see you put that board to good use.

 

[Genosmate]

This better @hands?

 

[Ernest]

[Genosmate]
