My Penguin is vaping a Stardust!

[Scylla]

My Penguin is a dual-voltage mod made from a cheap dynamo torch by UKV member vapaholic. I hardly ever go there but chanced upon his post and pounced, being totally desperate at the time, as well as charmed - and who wouldn't be?



510 fitting.
Operated via easy-action arm on side.
4.2 and 5.0v, changeable via small slider switch on side.
Another switch on same side disables activation.

Vapaholic dealt with my trusting impulse buy like a pro, which he is, he has websites selling printer carts and website services.

NOT SEALED - unfortunately, Vapaholic being a newbie vaper at the time and never having suffered a leaky atty/carto, he didn't twig the necessity. I've had a few instances of juice coming out thru the top of the arm or the bottom somewhere, but Vapaholic says that it cannot cause any damage inside - and indeed, Penguin shrugs it off with no reaction whatsoever. Shame though, but now that I've pointered it I am sure that any future mods will be sealed.

EDIT - the worst leak happened today - with a STARDUST and not just after being filled either!

I've never had a minute's trouble with this mod since 23rd March when I got it, and - sensation! - it vaped my BUD!!! which hadn't worked on anything else I'm using it at 4.2v constantly, haven't had any carto that was improved by 5v.

He's been working on pig and cow too, they are smaller and more difficult, I understand:



Prices are up to £30-ish including delivery for the dual voltage, single is a bit cheaper.

Not everyone's cuppa tea, I'm sure, and it wouldn't normally be mine, but as said I was desperate, and I can't tell you how relieved I am to have a 100% reliable PV at last. (I did love my VapeEscape VV PT, but when it died it turned out to be irreplaceable.)

I've been putting off telling you about it because my stuff usually goes wrong Could not bear the thought of misguiding.

BTW, my Lavatube came to life the other day, for no discernable reason. It's happily vaping an LR DCC. But not as happily as the Penguin does

Scylla, Hows about asking Vapaholic to come & join us?

Edit - oops, just realised he is already a member but never posted, hence why I didn't recognise the name.

I have one of those penguin torches! He looks great Scylla. Hope you've given him a nice name. How about Biscuit?

I just call him (it is a boy) Penguin. How unimaginitive

Yes, I did give him a link. He's only posted on UKV a very few times, he's not usually a forumite I thought he'd get tips and ideas from our modders.

Hope he knows he is welcome to post here as often as he like

lol @ a zoo of mods

What other collective nouns could we use to describe a group of mods?
A shiny of mods?
A cloud of mods?

[Chrissie]

A mist of mods?

[Anne (fuzzy)]

A mode of mods

[maccafan]

How creative..Very nice mods..

[Scylla]

You couldn't mass-produce them, you might be accused of aiming them at the youth market

I bet you could make something similar, Macca
