25.00 Smokless owl Squonker

[Lessifer]

Hee hee hee - I have two Atomics, and I'm seriously contemplating modding one with my dremel That, and they're only $9 these days.....

Thanks

Don't forget to check the air hole position on the chalice, you may need to tap it out and move it before using it.

O.k. Lessifer and Trucker - do you wrap around the screw heads or through the post holes? Also, I was thinking (dangerous, I know) that I'd try setting my coils such that I'd use the outside and the "far" inside for each coil when I get to my duallies. Or, should I go outside to closer inside post to mount the coils?

I also notice that the "ground" contact for the battery looks like it just slides out? I am curious if you're having difficulties replacing the battery. It kinda "snapped" into place when I put it in. Just a-wondering

I always go thru the post holes and mount the coils high near the post holes on the owl atomizer.

I mounted both coils yesterday on the same side and they worked pretty good.

Trial and error...

I used the post holes, Nothing wrong with using the further positive hole, in fact, you might get better saturation that way. Though with the owl atty, you're getting less direct saturation and more juice in the well to wick up.

negative contact does slide forward, careful not to pull it all the way out though. I put the battery in as upright as possible, with just the lip on the negative contact, slides in fairly easily that way.

 

[thetrucker]

Yes it snaps into place and the ground piece has a wire soldered to it

Will a standard 510 atty work on this mod?

 

[Lessifer]

Will a standard 510 atty work on this mod?

like a 510 drip atomizer? I can't see why not, no catch cup like the reo has for leaked juice, but it should get plenty of airflow

 

[DingerCPA]

Thanks muchly guys

@Sky, I believe so, because there's a hole in the bottom through which the juice can flow - but I'm not 100% sure....

 

[thetrucker]

Yes it will work as long as it has a hole for the juice to travel to the cotton.

You can put a tank or dripper on it as long as you drip into the dripper if it does not have a hole.

I'm sorry - one more question..... The bottle - do you just wriggle it to unscrew it, or do you pop the whole tube off?

I slide the bottle with cap down the tube and then unscrew the bottle. I don't think you want to take the tube off too often, don't want to mess with the fit/seal or you'll get leaking, I'm guessing.

 

[thetrucker]

Exactly what I do just slide bottle down the tube and fill and slide back up tube seems to be

all wet with ejuice so it slides rather easily.

Thanks again, gents! Your info has been most helpful!

Well, pish-tosh. I am not a Chalice fan Itty-bitty TINY deck. And, I may have jacked it up when I was disassembling to clean it. I FINALLY got a build that was o.k., but it would not read consistently. I checked and double-checked the posts and knew the leads were quite secure. However, I would touch the Chalice, and the resistance would jump all over the board. Not gonna put that on a mech mod...

I think I'll grab a couple more Atomics and dremel the contact pin to make it a BF.... The deck is quite a bit bigger on the Atomic (for these fat hands/stubby fingers )

 

[thetrucker]

Those tiny drippers are tricky to get to work.

I have a small no name dripper about as big as a "dime" that I used in my soap dish squonker and it has 3 posts.

have an idea to take it and try it on my Snowy Owl after figuring out which method to use to

make it a BF. Atomizer has an allen wrench a little bit bigger than a human hair and should

be fun to wrestle with---hahahaahah

Is it possible you had something touching the inside of the top cap? The posts are really close to the cap so any leg leads extending would touch. It IS a tiny little deck, and not for everyone. I need to see about modding my derringer clone.

This is even with the top cap off

Well I've finally had enough of the pressing of the firing button and getting Nothing.

I decided last nite to take the Owl apart and start working on putting a Radio Shack switch in.

I glued down an old contact from a battery charger and took heavy spring bottom thingy apart.

I filled the empty bottom with molten solder from my torch and sunk a half ball point pen spring down into hot pool of solder.

I was given a flat iron tht did not work and so took it apart and used the thicker wire

in it to wire up my squonker---it has high temp insulation on it. Silver wire.

I now run a 18350 battery as it gives me room to have a switch.

Nothing gets warm as I keep my builds to 1.25 or higher. Switch is rated at 3 amps.
