Possible option for the soldering challenged

[ainako]

I being one of the people who lack the dexterity to properly handle a soldering iron, I looked for something that is easier to handle and can properly replace the need to solder. here it is Make Conductive Glue and Glue a Circuit Would like to know what the other more knowledgeable members think of it.

I have seen that before I LOVE -Instructables- Real creative thinking for the most part - Looks like cool stuff never worked with it though.

Hmm i wonder how it would hold up the heat an atomizer produces if that stuff works im watching that video of yours maddog again :P

oh btw maddog would those batteries power a penstyle atomizer the same way if i took the end piece off a dead battery like you did in your video ?
thanks

I assume so - BUT - you probably know about assumptions

ASS - U - ME

Ass out of u and me

I believe it is close to the same specs as a 901 in ohms - Should work
I don't have one or I would test it.

hmm i also wonder with this glue if you could use it like soder as in put a drop on the surface put the wire in wait for it to dry then do it again for wherever the wire needs to be attached....basicly acting as a soder and not a painted on circuit just something conductive to attach wires to and hold them in place

In the same vein of thought, but ready to apply, I found this

Amazon.com: WIRE GLUE: Industrial & Scientific

I have been considering buying and trying but haven't yet. Any thoughts guys?

There's no need to be intimidated by soldering, it's really easy. Just be careful and practice on some old junk first. None of that glue stuff will ever hold strong like real solder when the heat is on.

haha thats clever, might save some people some burnt fingers

If you read the instructable the author says it can be used as a solder replacement but is not sure it can be used in power supply applications, so I am not entirely sure that this glue would work for mods. Just made it aware to our community so someone might try it or test it somehow. I would but to be honest I'm chicken . Also the author does mention that the premade wire glue has more resistance and more brittle than what he made. Also in regards to a penstyle magnum mod, many people have already done it. So I suppose that means that it can be done. After all the commercial modded flashlight just requires an adapter that simply changes the connection for the atomizer to work.

It's true. Soldering is really easy, only thing you must do is practicing. And watch your fingers because the soldering iron can be hot (usually around 180-450C).
Glue may be good for low power (to light up a LED) and no physical extersion. If one try to glue the "atomizer" to the battery, the glue will most probably melt down or set on fire.
