First Mod Complete - Epipe Mod

[2buildawall]

I have been wanting to build a mech mod since I started vaping two years ago. I have finally finished my first all mechanical 18650 pipe mod. It is made from mahogany turned on a lathe. It has a Fat Daddy 22mm 510 and I created (from rough instructions) the magnetic switch on top. It works perfectly. It was a steep learning curve for me. Now that I have done one the next pipe will be all about refining. It is an addictive hobby!

Interesting design. Howd you make the switch

Cool man, congrats on the first build. The more I come into this section of the forums the more I want to build a mod,lol.

Thanks everyone!

Pdizzle - the switch I turned on my lathe then used magnets and copper. I followed instructions from another forum that sent me in odd directions until after about three attempts I figured it out.

I press the switch that sits on top of the battery and the copper contacts the negative ring around the battery and she fires. Let go and the opposing batteries in the switch force it up off the negative contact. It is smooth and works perfect.

Pdizzle - start buying equipment and then build. It is a lot of fun!

I am not handy at all and it took me probably three times as long as the average person but the next one will be so much easier.

Ive got equipment and have built lots of mods, just nothing fully mechanical without a mosfet.

Pdizzle - It is a lot like a tube mod. When I was first trying to figure out how it was done I could not get past the lack of a mosfet. You don't need the mosfet due to the switch. You can buy a fuse that sits between the positive and the copper connection for a safety device. It is not a device I use for sub ohm builds but other people do.

This is dope! Love to see people rockin the Lemo 2.

 

[2buildawall]

Thanks! I really like the Lemos both 1 and 2.

I need to post an after pic with the finish on. It really made the mahogany pop.

That is very interesting! I have so much respect for vapers who make and create their own mods I think it is very cool!
