Dean, you're the MAN! Awesome the changes that you performed on that Stentorian! Maybe next time, they will contact you to get some lessons how to build a truly mechanical mod! Congratulations are in order! Amazing!
I really like this video. I have made my own wooden unregulated box mod. I was just trying to see if I could do it. It isn't the nicest looking mod but works good. I have been wanting to make a box mech mod but was unsure where to purchase the guts. Also was unsure to what I need. Your video helped out a lot. Thank you. I did look on amazon for the copper straps. I am guessing they were selling large quantities it was a lot higher than I care to pay. 80 dollars and up. I am going to check my local hardware store in hopes to find something a little lower priced. It is crazy how a person can start vaping as a habit and it quickly becomes a hobby. Again thanks for the videos. I would really like to see a video where you make your own diy tutorial.
Glad you've made a mod and enjoy it, I've made loads that look ugly as hell but I've loved using them, and that's what it's all about at the end of the day :) Luckily over in the UK the copper strips come in packs of 5 or 10 so you don't have to get very many. You can always cut your own, but it was super easy to use something that had most of the work done already :) Good luck with the modding!
I don't think it's the best solution aesthetically, but I wanted to show some inventiveness, also I can stick something in the hole if I find it - oooo just thought of a skull in one of those ear hole extender plug things the youngsters wear - off to Amazon I go :D Cheers!
I spent a while making mods a few years ago, with varying levels of success, but it's great fun and highly recommended. modmaker.co.uk has some great wiring diagrams if you don't want to go full mech as well as all the bits you need to do it :)
I was going to ask you to consider doing this, after watching your review for it. I guess those telepathy courses payed off. Thanks Dean, your non-review work is where and when you shine brightest! 😃
Chapeau! I think that, opening it, I would think it was factory built that way (and, BTW, to a superior factory standard than your average oriental clone box)! Don't change the chuff-button, let it be your special signature item, instead! Can I suggest that you find something very small but really, really amazing and you encase it in clear acrylic resin inside the said big chuff-button? Like, say, a small shiny mineral or a crystal, a small fossilized shell or tiny seashell?
thanks dean got one on its way, going to do the same. what type of chuff cap was it or do you have a button to recommend instead. an please do a film showing the diffrence in proformance to the standed ram to the full mech one plz great job thanks
Now, Mr Darth, if I had a button do you think I would have used a chuff cap? LOL No idea which cap it was, just one I had knocking about for ages buddy. Can't video the difference between the two as I only have one, and that's now got holes in and a lump of metal :)
Vaping Biker no problem just thought I'd ask. it's a case of suck it an see I'll work something out with the button but good job turning it full mech Mr biker ; )
Very nicely done, I’ve got a similar chuff cap from a Petri rda I may try and use. Just curious could the existing 510 still work with copper contacts?
Right now I'm dyeing white 3d printed mod a different color. I got it used and at a deal, but it was grimey beyond cleaning. Hope it comes out. I love tinkering.
nice idea with the copper roofing straps may look into them next time im doing a set of contacts for a mech squonker, as for your dimple for the positive there are some jewlers pliers you can get that will allow you to put a dimple in, just incase you will be doing some more conversions or contact replacments.
So i did the conversion but i kept the original button and pin. 1st thing: a lot more Voltage, clouds for days... i guess the original cable was to weak and heated up losing power and probably thats what got it to break. So i highly recommend anyone with a ram to convert it to full mech
Jonathan Haillot hey the solder on mine broke a few days back but on button side. Will do this too and try to remain with the same button any extra tip you may have ?
It's actually pretty simple, remove the bottom plate and cable like in the video. The bottom plate with the logo will fall off and you will need the to trim it before glueing it back. Here is a pic of mine: imageshack.com/i/pnBWybfBj
i realize this is extremely old at this point, but still felt the need to drop a line and pat you on the back Dean. I had been wondering how hard it would be to get rid of that button and put a proper MM510 on this thing. thanks for answering that!! I do wonder if you notice any difference in the vape. Sort of wish you had done a before and after voltage drop test.
Excellent idea! I´ll do the same with mine, the stock button is really annoying. Have you printed a new button? Can you share the 3d file with us? Thank you!
Excellent! Just what I was wanting to do with mine! Not a fan of the button myself. Thx VB! Great tutorial👍🏼 Any noticeable difference in how it vapes?
I've been looking into making my own mechanical squawka mod box but it is hard and expensive to find the resin or stabilized wood I would need to make it but I've managed to find an older RAM mod box that is faulty and at a reasonable price so hopefully in the next couple of days I'll be getting stuck in to doing the same as you. I don't suppose you would know the diameter of the button so I can get one ordered from mod maker with the rest of the squawka parts I require or maybe even make my own love this type of video hope there'll be many more in the future along with your RUclips channel
Super great job!! Saw the pic on IG, and was really looking forward to the video. Why did you go with copper, instead of silver? Just curious. Again, AWESOME job!!! You own a 3D printer?
Awesome video, everything ordered to do this myself! However, does anyone know the size of the hole left when you remove the button? Haven't had the chance to take it apart yet and will need to order something! Thanks for the helpful video and to anyone that can help :)
how does a wire make it less mech tho? Because the electricity goes throught a round copper wire, its less mech than if it goes trough a thin copper plate... dont get it :-/
I didnt make the rules, but by definition most people would call this a unregulated mod. A mech cant have any wires or soldering. I would think the opposite actually. A plate probably has a muuuch lower resistance than a wire.
But...why? Im new to mech mods and i cant grasp the reason to go throught all this trouble, just to have the same mods but with out the wire. Does it make the battery give more watts or what?
Hey Dean. I wanna do this conversion on my RAM too. Im in the US and I found the MM510 on a states based relay site from Mr. Todd's source. What size is the one you ordered? They have them from 16mm-25mm. I'd assume it's between 16-20mm since it fit into the peak surround but I don't have that measuring tool tho. Thanks!
Can you give me idea how to convert my Luxotic BF squonk mod into something like this? Ive already cleared the box and now im looking for ideas for mech style circuit like yours. More power to this channel 💪🙏
Nice job, yesterday a review and today the converse to full mech, you didn't waste any time did you. Would love to try out mech in the future but first need to gain a bit more knowledge, thanks for helping on that part.

Wonderful video. Chuff cap & roofing straps - brilliant! Love the editing/text explanations and that music track is very soothing. Well done, Dean!
Awesome, cheers :D
Dean, you're the MAN! Awesome the changes that you performed on that Stentorian! Maybe next time, they will contact you to get some lessons how to build a truly mechanical mod! Congratulations are in order! Amazing!
+Paulo Carvalho cheers! :-)
Wow Dean! Handy dandy Dean the mech maker machine! I dig it bro ! Quite handy for those looking to mechanize their ram! Cheers mate , good job
Great video! Nice guide for those of us who can't afford a hi-end mech squonker! Thanks Dean!
Cheers
That was just outrageous Dean - thanks for sharing!
Cheers :)
That was a great video! I never miss one of your uploads, this one threw me for a loop but ended up being my favorite video ive watched all weekend!
Awesome! thanks :)
Dean, what an awesome video man. Beyond impressed. Keep up the fantastic work mate. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks :)
Nice little vid Dean. Roofing strips ordered. Thanks for the tip mate.
:D
Absolutely Brilliant video showing what can be done. TY Dean
Cheers David :)
Nice bit of ingenuity there! Looks like it hits super hard now too. Thanks for sharing, cheers!
It definitely performs better :)
RAM as it should be from the beginning! Thanks Dean, amazing job! :)
Thanks!

Ordered this as my first squonker should be here any day now, cheers for the idea mate
Amazing job Dean! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
Realy enjoyed this,not enough tutorials like this on You Tube. You are the man Deano,now where did i put me step drill Lol.
LOL Cheers Douglas
The chuff cap button.... FKN BRILLANT !!!! The madman giggle at that aha!!! moment.
I don't think it's the best solution aesthetically, but I wanted to show some inventiveness, also I can stick something in the hole if I find it - oooo just thought of a skull in one of those ear hole extender plug things the youngsters wear - off to Amazon I go :D
Cheers!
Brilliant. Good job Deano.
Cheers buddy! Have you checked out modmaker.co.uk? There's some cool stuff on there ;-)
That's crafty!! Awesome job Vaping Biker!!!
Ta daaaaa! :D
Cheers!
That was cool as hell Dean.
+Chris Schauer cheers :-)
Thank you Dean, very informative. would like to see more videos like this one
Whenever there's a simple thing I can teach you then I'll try to do them :)
Nice one Dean, well done.
Very, VERY nicely done! I hate the stock button. This is worth buying a couple of those mods for. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks buddy! :D
Battery Mooch why hate the button ?
The Vaping Mushroom I just don't like gold on my mods. :-)
Silver, SS, black, other colors..no problem.
Love the video Dean I like to tinker with things loving the videos keep up the good reviews Dean :)
Tinkering is what makes all inventions happen, plus it's great fun :)
Nice work Dean, thanks for sharing
Thanks Polo
Bloody nice job Dean 👍👍
Cheers! :)
Great video man, I just bought a ram and I don't think I'll do this to mine but I'll definitely try it in another box. Super helpfull!
Thank you for showing us how easy it is to make a mod with a mod makers kit.
Cool vid Brutha. 😎
I may do a proper mod build one day, we'll have to see if I can find the time :)
That would be awesome Dean. A build video I am looking forward to seeing.
😎
Great demo, matey.
Cheers! :)
EXCELLENT! BRILLIANT! ASTOUNDING!
I feel that's over-egging it somewhat, but cheers
Very slick! I've been wanting to turn an old Brownie into a mech, but no idea where to begin. I might have a few thoughts now!
I spent a while making mods a few years ago, with varying levels of success, but it's great fun and highly recommended. modmaker.co.uk has some great wiring diagrams if you don't want to go full mech as well as all the bits you need to do it :)
Awesome conversion! Gave me some great ideas, thanks!
Awesome, that's why i wanted to do it, cheers Zed :)
Dean , you still DaMan. Now Then !! Thanks
Cheers buddy :)
Wow great video for us to learn. Thanks Dean ... 👍
Cheers Jason
I know what I am doing this week ! Thanks Dean
Sweet Conversation ! I enjoyed the Vlog and I really enjoy your Channel.
A finer jerry-rig would be hard to find! Brilliant!
ah but it's a dean-rig ;-) LOL Cheers!
So neat and nicely well done 👍🏼
Chees Jay :)
Nice work Dean. 👍👍
Cheers :)
I was going to ask you to consider doing this, after watching your review for it. I guess those telepathy courses payed off. Thanks Dean, your non-review work is where and when you shine brightest! 😃
ah now, was the telepathy you sending me messages to do it, or me sending you messages to want to see it..... oooooooooOOOOoooooo
Cheers!
Chapeau! I think that, opening it, I would think it was factory built that way (and, BTW, to a superior factory standard than your average oriental clone box)!
Don't change the chuff-button, let it be your special signature item, instead!
Can I suggest that you find something very small but really, really amazing and you encase it in clear acrylic resin inside the said big chuff-button?
Like, say, a small shiny mineral or a crystal, a small fossilized shell or tiny seashell?
I did the same to my original Vandyvape Pulse. Miss you brother.
Please more of this videos! Thank you.
I'd like the time to do more tbh
Awesome video, thank you for the ideas
thank you dean! nice work
Very nice!! That was awesome.
This is fantastic great job.
Cheers!
Fantastic! The true meaning of the term MOD!
Mate I am so impressed by this!!
Nice work, man! But is it okay if you kinda put something for a firing button just like the stock button?
thanks dean got one on its way, going to do the same. what type of chuff cap was it or do you have a button to recommend instead. an please do a film showing the diffrence in proformance to the standed ram to the full mech one plz great job thanks
Now, Mr Darth, if I had a button do you think I would have used a chuff cap? LOL
No idea which cap it was, just one I had knocking about for ages buddy. Can't video the difference between the two as I only have one, and that's now got holes in and a lump of metal :)
Vaping Biker no problem just thought I'd ask. it's a case of suck it an see I'll work something out with the button but good job turning it full mech Mr biker ; )
Who's a clever boy then. Good job Dean! The hole left by the logo button is a drainage hole incase the bottle leaks ;)
+Stuart Niven i like your thinking ;-)
Stuart Niven see thinking out the box, I like it lol
or added battery venting :)
Good work sir, you're a clever bugger!
HOW DOESS A FULLY MECHANICAL MOD DIFFER FROM THE ORIGINAL WITH A WIRE. DOES THE VOLTAGE DROP DECREASE WHAT HAPPENS?
Very nicely done, I’ve got a similar chuff cap from a Petri rda I may try and use. Just curious could the existing 510 still work with copper contacts?
Im trying to do this myself and id be greatful if you could tell me what you used to make the copper strip stay in place at the bottom?
You done a great job dean well done 💪🏼 😊 cant fault it
Thanks Rachel :)
Right now I'm dyeing white 3d printed mod a different color. I got it used and at a deal, but it was grimey beyond cleaning. Hope it comes out. I love tinkering.
And Now its a proper squonk!
Nice tutorial! But no idea's for a lock botton?
nice work Dean!
Thanks buddy! It was a fun quick project, and it's way better now :D
So creative! Awesome tutorial!
Thanks! :)
nice idea with the copper roofing straps may look into them next time im doing a set of contacts for a mech squonker, as for your dimple for the positive there are some jewlers pliers you can get that will allow you to put a dimple in, just incase you will be doing some more conversions or contact replacments.
yeah, I just bodged my way through it to show you don't need whizzy tools :)
Very nice
Was looking at a ram recently but ended up doing something very simlar to a cheap Squonker instead
Well done. Excellent video.
Fair play, looks like a good job. 👍
It's a quick and dirty conversion, but it hits like a mofo now :)
I just bought the Ram so i can attempt this. Wish me luck. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hell yeah man... I converted my dead royal edition snow wolf into a series mech with using the stock 510 , buttons and sled..
the soldering on the button side of mine just broke, and that button is trash.
Gonna have to do that conversion, so thanks for that tutorial
So i did the conversion but i kept the original button and pin. 1st thing: a lot more Voltage, clouds for days...
i guess the original cable was to weak and heated up losing power and probably thats what got it to break.
So i highly recommend anyone with a ram to convert it to full mech
Jonathan Haillot hey the solder on mine broke a few days back but on button side. Will do this too and try to remain with the same button any extra tip you may have ?
It's actually pretty simple, remove the bottom plate and cable like in the video. The bottom plate with the logo will fall off and you will need the to trim it before glueing it back.
Here is a pic of mine: imageshack.com/i/pnBWybfBj
Awesome modification! Just got inspired to convert my VooPoo Drag to a single 20700 mech squonk. Do you think it’s doable? /Nick from Sweden
i realize this is extremely old at this point, but still felt the need to drop a line and pat you on the back Dean.
I had been wondering how hard it would be to get rid of that button and put a proper MM510 on this thing. thanks for answering that!!
I do wonder if you notice any difference in the vape. Sort of wish you had done a before and after voltage drop test.
I absolutely noticed a benefit to doing it IMO
Excellent idea! I´ll do the same with mine, the stock button is really annoying. Have you printed a new button? Can you share the 3d file with us? Thank you!
Excellent! Just what I was wanting to do with mine! Not a fan of the button myself. Thx VB! Great tutorial👍🏼 Any noticeable difference in how it vapes?
Cheers! I think it definitely hits harder, but I didn't take a voltage reading beforehand sadly :(
Damn Deano I think Philippe Patek are hiring!
LOL I'm pretty sure you can't bodge watches together eyeballing the measurements LOL ;-)
Great work Dean, did you consider using a modmaker mech button as they would look great in that box
No, I don't think it's big enough, plus I wanted to do the job with what I had to hand as much as possible :)
Cheers!
Hi @vaping biker
what is the thickness for this cooper ?
Im planning to get one from local.. but need to know the thickness
I've been looking into making my own mechanical squawka mod box but it is hard and expensive to find the resin or stabilized wood I would need to make it but I've managed to find an older RAM mod box that is faulty and at a reasonable price so hopefully in the next couple of days I'll be getting stuck in to doing the same as you.

Super great job!! Saw the pic on IG, and was really looking forward to the video. Why did you go with copper, instead of silver? Just curious. Again, AWESOME job!!! You own a 3D printer?
Mainly because I'm poor and copper roofing strips are pretty much the right size :)
But trust me, it hits like a bad boy on crack now :)
That's awesome man!!
Cheers Derek :)
Pardon my ignorance but what makes it not full mech in the first place?
Awesome video, everything ordered to do this myself! However, does anyone know the size of the hole left when you remove the button? Haven't had the chance to take it apart yet and will need to order something! Thanks for the helpful video and to anyone that can help :)
Amazing, Bro, you should start making your own line of mech mods :) I'll be waiting for!
LOL I've made a few in the past, not to sell though :)
Pardon my ignorance, but what makes this 'full mech' now, rather than how it originally came?
No wires or soldering
Thanks, that makes sense!
how does a wire make it less mech tho? Because the electricity goes throught a round copper wire, its less mech than if it goes trough a thin copper plate... dont get it :-/
I didnt make the rules, but by definition most people would call this a unregulated mod. A mech cant have any wires or soldering. I would think the opposite actually. A plate probably has a muuuch lower resistance than a wire.

Ohh so clever !! Looks good :D
Thanks :)
Thanks for that... planning to do a little modding soon myself! 👽💭
Glad it was helpful :)
Hey Dean. I wanna do this conversion on my RAM too. Im in the US and I found the MM510 on a states based relay site from Mr. Todd's source. What size is the one you ordered? They have them from 16mm-25mm. I'd assume it's between 16-20mm since it fit into the peak surround but I don't have that measuring tool tho. Thanks!
They're all 16mm but then they have different size washers to take them to the 22 - 25mm
bro , from where you get the Connection Dimple Punch Tool , ??
Can you give me idea how to convert my Luxotic BF squonk mod into something like this? Ive already cleared the box and now im looking for ideas for mech style circuit like yours. More power to this channel 💪🙏
Any tutorial how to conver noisy cricket v2 to full mech without pressing the button
Nice job, yesterday a review and today the converse to full mech, you didn't waste any time did you. Would love to try out mech in the future but first need to gain a bit more knowledge, thanks for helping on that part.
I'm a hard workin' mofo :D
Good to hear you're approaching mechs safely and sensibly :)
It's actually kind of sad that you have say that. Should be common sense to first investigate something before diving in. 🤣
You would think, but sadly too many people get into it these days that can't be bothered to learn anything
thx for the link to the copper strips just sorted out 3 of my china made squonkers
Awesome :)
And I bet it hit harder!!
Nice effort. Is there any enhancement in performance/ output?
I believe so, but do not have the figures to back it up
Cracking. I'd buy one 👍😁
How many kanthal wire using
Did you fill the hole on the bottom? And what's holding the negative in?
Nope, I don't look at the bottom of the mod, ever, and the battery and bottle
can i use the original 510?
Brilliant! I'm not nearly as handy as you at these things 😉👍
Did you do a voltage drop test before and after the retro fit
I did not, in retrospect that would have been a good idea. I know it seems to work way better now though :)
Damn fine tutorial Dean thank you!
Cheers Ian :)
Very interesting. :)
