However I popped over to ivapour for a hot spring and he sells two. One for the BB and one for the SB. No idea which I should get. Could anyone help please?

SB (silver bullet) hotspring fits the Argento. Drop Chris an email before you buy - he sometimes will pop one in FOC

Ah I thought the mini argento might need a different spring to the bigger one. I did drop Chris a line but he didn't have any. He was everso decent though, it restores my faith in humanity somewhat to deal with nice human beings

In that case I'm really happy to be here. The members seem very friendly and if all the vendors are like Chris, I'm here for the duration

OK, getting clearer.

So, all "mods" will require a controller section/part unless the power can go directly to the atomiser safely/effectively?

Mechanical mods just have a 510 connector. The positive centre pole is isolated and connects directly to the battery positive end when the switch is operated (e.g. by pushing the battery up). The negative usually connects through the metal body of the mod via a spring at the bottom that connects to the negative end of the battery. Any protection systems have to be added e.g. by using a protected battery (which has some built in protection circuits), or you can add a fuse designed to sit at the bottom of the battery.

Just thought to add, that the spring itself is usually a so called "hot spring" which means it collapses if the battery is shorted, the battery then drops down and breaks the circuit.
