Got my supplies, 4 dismantled 510 atties. Here I go. This will be a slow ongoing project, as I try out the ways to wrap the coil and how much silica to use for wicking. Then I will reassemble them as best as i can.
I have a small issue getting the red power lead out of the ceramic cup. So I am running the power leads out one side of the atty through the air holes. I dont know if it will affect performance. But I am going to do it like this till I figure out how to take that one lead out.
It is glued into a tiny ceramic tube connected to the cup. I soaked the cups in alcohol all night and it still wont budge. I am trying to push it out with a needle.
Here is the important stuff.
Tight woven 3/8 Silica Rope (fibergalss seal) McMaster-Carr
36 g Nichrome Wire Nichrome Wire
I Used a small piece of silica rope taped to a needle for form then to a inch and a half of 36 g nichrome wire and made 6 wraps around the silica rope. It test 2.7 ohms on my meeter. Took it off the needle and trimmed the excess rope with some scissors, It cut really easy. And I stuffed it into the cup.
Just realized I am out of solder. I also need some super small heat shink tubing to shield my joints coming out the side of the cup.
Thats all I got, I will update as I make progress.
also got blurry cell phone pics of the needle and rope coil cant post till tonight.
I credit carlos49 for links to parts and helping me wrap my head around this. thanks carlos, and all the other people in the atty scene.
Update.. I put a drop of juice in the cup and touched the leads to my home made 5v passthrough at work, and it Vapes. So all i need to do is solder the power leads back and put it together. Sweet.. picture this. Me holding this little white thing with smoke coming off it and put putting my face to it and inhaling. I'm glad i have a private office. lol
