New Atomizer Prototype

[jxmiller]

I'm not sure if I'm just a real lightweight when it comes to vaping, but I've never gotten the outside of the atomizer to be more than slightly warm, even after a long pull. But as I said in my reply to Dan's comment, the bottle/container could be easily flipped around.

From your diagram your mouth is ... 1mm - 2mm distance from the nichrome coil. Ever try to put your lips around the metal housing of your e-cig parallel to where the atomizer is? That does get hot.

I really like your idea here. It really makes replacing the atomizer extremely easy, plus allows for a large amount of juice to be contained within.

I believe you guys, but I've honestly never felt that on my 510. I once put my mouth around the air intake holes, pressed the button, and blew through them to see if vapor would come out of the mouthpiece. Felt a little warm but not hot even though the entire thing was in my mouth.

At any rate, I'm trying to develop the design further (i.e., sitting in class bored out of my mind), and I will be using the standard orientation for now. At least until I find out how hot the new atomizer gets.

I'm hoping to use Moktarino's new atomizer design with my delivery system idea... just bought some glass online today.

Hi guys im pleased to announce that im joining the team on this design process. Ive got a joye 510 on the way and my sampler of jc juice just arrived. This topic is really what pushed me over the edge to purchase an ecig in the first place. I only smoke cigs on occasion but I am a moderate chewer at around a tin every week or so, but the reason I got an ecig is I am just amazed by the device itself. I am studying to be a mechanical engineer focusing mostly on computer aided design and i just love the simplicity of it and the almost unlimited opportunities for mods. Ive got an idea but im going to sit back for a bit and examine the real thing before i start suggesting things.

Yeah, I was a pretty light smoker myself (4-5 a day), and unfortunately I am addicted yet again after a few weeks completely free. Fortunately, engineering it is fun and hopefully once we get something I'll have more of a reason to go back to only vaping.

Feel free to post or PM me your idea... but playing with the real thing will make a difference. I was the same way before I actually got mine. Anyway, welcome! I look forward to hearing your ideas.

edit: You can't post links until you have 15 posts. It's annoying... but if you need to share a link before then just take out the http://www part when posting it.

The more the merrier. I am not the smartest guy in the world and most of my ideas thus far have probably not been all that great. I say post it no matter what. It may inspire (like it did you) others to join in the brainstorming we have going on here.

I second that. Brainstorming is about the most ideas you can come up with, and no idea should be excluded as being 'bad'. Even the dumbest sounding allows others to piggy-back off of the concept.
So go ahead with the ideas, even if they sound ridiculous.
Welcome to the jungle.

That's my job... To give dumb ideas!

That sounds like the job for me..... I could get payed for something that comes natural to me! What a dream.

After this post I'll have 13 posts, almost there!

The neat thing about these tubes is that you can melt them with a standard lighter. I've been doing that to spare them the blowtorch, but they don't melt as nicely. Maybe I could build some sort of guard out of metal to better direct the heat and hit only the glass bits and not the leads.

That's the next issue, the weak points are the leads coming out of the glass. I've been experimenting with using copper for this, but it's not promising. I used 24ga copper wire inside the tube and it quickly broke the glass surrounding it due to expansion coefficient. I think it has a better time with the nichrome because it's smaller and can absorb the stress without cracking, but the 24ga was just too much.
