no worries. i have materials on order that wont be here till the middle of next week anyhow and i have 2 mods to do in front of yours
Here is the list as it stands today.....Avion list
1. Mommabird62
2. (Undisclosed)
3. havok333
4.
5.
A quick update on the mod. I have come up with a refinement to the switch mechanism which will allow for complete disassembly and also will allow for adjustment of the switch throw. Not to mention it will make it a good deal easier to assemble on my end. I will also allow for user replacement of parts if the need would arise
I am still looking for a source for 10ml bottles that will fit in the available space. No luck on that front just yet
If anyone knows of a source feel free to share. It needs to be 20mm diameter X 60mm tall or so.

Three is my lucky number, so tis fitting!
Should have known Mommabird would have beaten me in line...
I am still trying to figure out from the pics how this works. Is that the fire button up top in the center? And is that screw on the bottom a juice bottle plunger?

Got it, and thanks for the comparison pics too.
I always use to think I'd hate bottom firing mods, but after using the Negus box for a while, it's quite easy to get used to.

[emoji12] Y'all know I'm a sucker for mech bottom feeders! And just when I told myself, no more mods! I have too many bottom feeders and love them all [emoji6]

I'm seriously diggin' on the unique steam punk look! Big sucker for things that are a little different, lol.
That's what caught my attention. Doesn't look like anything I have ever seen [emoji4]
I also love pretty metals. And .....woods. WTHeck I love em all!

I try my best to impart some character into everything I make. I believe that things should stimulate people's imagination. I guess that is why I like the steampunk art form so much.[emoji6]
Wow I really like the steampunk look also. Bottom fire if I understand correctly. Would like to see something a little different for the look of the fire button
I agree that I need to find something for the fire button but I am trying to keep it close in to prevent snags. I was gonna make up a fancy contraption but I elected for simplicity to eliminate as many moving parts as possible. The prototype has a fixed throw and ended up sticking out quite a bit further than I wanted. Just about anything could be used as the button as long as it can be drilled and soldered[emoji1]Wow I really like the steampunk look also. Bottom fire if I understand correctly.

Yea I agree. I'm sure you will come up with something really cool but simple and compact for the fire button. Let your artistic ability shine

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) 10ml Squeezable Dropper Bottle Eye Liquid Drop Needle Tip (Pack of 50): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
I have not but I will be sure to do so. I have been busy torture testing the mod. I am using it exclusively and am not cleaning contacts or anything for a while to see what happens. I run almost all my attys at .3ohms so the switch is getting a fair workout[emoji1]. I do expect some contact maintenance needs to arise though due to a good bit of dissimilar metal contact. I do not use any deoxit or noalox. Performance has been fantastic thus far[emoji106] My goal going into this was to build a functional art mod rather than a performance mod and it seems I may just have achieved both by accident[emoji15]Just curious if you had checked voltage drop? I would suspect it is minimal
Thx peng[emoji1] I wonder if I can mod the cap to take a reo style tube? I tend to like the peko style setup with the cut off dropper tip.
The view from my camp for tonight[emoji1] Can't compete with nature's beauty for sure!
While I do not have one of these exact bottles, I do have 10ml needle tip bottles that look the same. You could remove the needle tip and drill out the cap with a 1/8" bit to use tubing 3/16" OD (if using Reo size tubing). They may also carry dropper tips for that bottle.
