The only PITA factor is the 0-80 ezloc insert. It must be pressed into a .096" hole at a depth of .125" Then the 6-32 nylon screw must be center drilled with a 1/32" drill bit, and glued/screwed into place and cut at the proper height. The rest is easy, glue the PTFE tubing in, glue the nylon wahser in place and insert the nylon spacer over the ceter pin and assemble. The .5" 0-80 screw must line up with the floating brass 0-80 tapped hole and screwed into place. Other than that a breeze LOL
Dan

You will probably need to supply several nylon screws as I am sure I would mess a couple up before getting the center drill correct.
I am going to look into how much it would cost to get them done for us.

I was going to pre drill them all. I have a jig made and can do it quickly.

[harmonic]

you still can
and thank you for saving the day - i'd prolly mess up a few too lol

 

[Vtwin]

I might need to find someone to pre-assemble mine as well.... Any takers?

Yikes... Bump me up to two assembled...instead of the one. (^^^^ I don't even know what you said up there!!!! ^^^^)

 

[atavanhalen]

Sorry if this has been covered but is this only available assembled for the first 25 that posted they wanted it assembled?

 

[Vtwin]

Dan, great news on the pre drill. That will be a big help!

so it's going to be pre-drilled? nice Dan... sounds easy enough. What glue do we need to use on the PTFE and nylon washer again? Thanks for doing this co-op!

Awesome! Thanks Dan!

I think Dan was messing with us! LOL

You may be able to eliminate assembling some of these if people know the nylon screws will arrive pre-drilled. Seems the drilling is scaring ppl off the assembly.

Well that changes everything! I'm going to wait for the assembly video though, before I decide to not get mine preassembled. Thank you Dan! I really cannot say that enough

I removed that limit, too many puppy dog eyes

[cos]

Dan you are just too good to us. Thanks a million...

 

[UA72Riddle]

The drilling part is my only concern...as I have no real sturdy way to hold such a small screw and get a nice straight hole drilled through the center. Especially with a small flimsy drill bit like the 1/32 is....

I used gorrila glue on mine, just a dab and it sets up quick and non-toxic when cured (24hrs).

Non assembled ones will recieve the screw predrilled, just have to screw and glue and trim to height. Assembeld it will be done for you.
I made a jig so one end is tapped for 6-32 screw and the other end is a 1/32 hole. works acurate and fast.

Great idea on the jig! If all that's left I glueing....I'm good to go!

Dan, I was wondering if is would be possible to convert this into a standard atomizer by including a second longer negative screw that and standoff that would raise the negative post up as high as the positive post is. That way we could wrap a standard horizontal coil with wick material. Remove the screw and easily convert it back into a mesh/genesis design?

Would be a great cheap option for gaining some extra functionality if you think it would work. What are your thoughts?
