Porcelain or Ceramic pots aka Electric Insulators

[jxmiller]

I have been searching for a place I could buy ceramic or porcelain pots for making atomizers. Here are some places I have found but have not yet acquired information from. If anyone knows where to get these or any other alternatives let me know. This seems to be one of the things I have not been able to find yet. I really want to make a mod but its not going to be a simple big battery mod.

The one on the home page with 4 holes.
Advanced Ceramic Manufacturer - Ortech Ceramics

Some of these look promising.. nothing definite though.
Electronic & Electric Insulator Parts - TaePyung Electronic Ceramics Co., Ltd. - etrade.daegu.go.kr

Lots here, hard to say.

These look almost identical... hard to say without specs.

Please post any information you could provide.

Thanks.

Due to the lack of replies here I suppose I now know why this is not an easy one to figure out.

Originally I wanted to get some ceramic or porcelain clay and "torch" some prototypes. The idea behind this is that you make a master, then mold it. After you have the mold you press in the clay to make copies really easily, then use a torch to fire the porcelain. I have read that people have had success with torching small porcelain pieces... worth a try I suppose.

I have been looking to but haven't found anything pre-made. Thank you for the links by the way. I know there is some type of ceramic clay with a metal in it that ignites when you put the torch to it and helps fire the clay. I have been looking for that but without much luck...I think I need a lot more research.

Well here is some clay. 50lbs $36.99

I have read that for tiny pieces a torch will work and it takes about 10 - 15 minutes. I bet a hydrogen torch would work faster (and cleaner) than any other kind of torch. Just pointing that out in case someone has one haha. Fat chance.

BUT, you can make your own for cheap. LINK

Another video.

Go on youtube and type in "HHO Torch" google also works. Its not that hard actually. The only problem is, I have found, the temp is too hot and it would melt the porcelain almost instantly. Temps for firing the porcelain can be found on the wiki.

Edit:

Well now that I think about it you could simply hold the torch further away... duh. By the way the HHO torch temp is ROUGHLY 2800 °C (I think that is max) while the temp for firing porcelain is between 1,200 °C (2,192 °F) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F).

Also for reference the ceramic or porcelain pot can be no larger than 8mm to fit inside a 901 tube comfortably. Although I think anything in the range of 7mm to 15mm would work due to the fact that once you have the pot... its easy to find something to put it in.
