Hello Fellow Vapers
My name is Paul and Im newly registered supplier here. Im based in suburban Chicago and my profession is electrical engineering. A year ago I got into the hobby of designing and making mods. Here is a bottom feeder mechanical mod that I made after numerous changes and refinements. I designed my mod based on my own preferences and needs, and I hope some of you guys like it too.
--No official name for the mod yet, perhaps you guys can help me name it. haha.
Some info about my mod:
1. Base model is purely mechanical, with an option to upgrade to an electronically regulated version later. I like to vape around 0.9 ohm, but as battery voltage drops under 4.0V ish, I find the power less than optimal. I plan to release an electronic module kit later that will keep the output voltage constant with a shut off/warning light when the actual battery voltage drops to 3.7. Although electronic device like this exist, I want one with a higher max power output of around 25 W. In addition, I want to keep the mod as small as possible (for comfort and ergonomics), so I decided to develop an electronic module in house.
Installing/uninstalling the module will be easy, and only requires a screwdriver.
2. The mod uses a 10 ml bottle. This is because I go through juices fast and Id like to cut down on the frequency of refills. Special care is used when designing the mod to ensure a small physical size, despite the larger juice bottle. Youll notice that the bottle is completely exposed (to cut down on the width of the mod). The bottle is held taut against the metal casing by the elastic force of the Tygon tube, and is highly secure. Metal structures built into the casing prevent the bottle from shifting sideways. The larger exposed area of the bottle makes it a joy to squeeze.
3. The mod uses a 10 Amp automotive fuse for safety. You can buy the fuse at any auto shop and merely need to loosen/tighten two screws to change it. This can virtually eliminate down time in case you blow the fuse. Special emphasis is put on safety when designing the mod, with certain parts made out of medical grade silicone.
4. The mod has a looser fit for the 510 connector than most other mods. Instead, a set screw is used to secure the 510 connector to the aluminum housing. I designed it this way because I want the 510 connector to be user serviceable. By default, the mod will come with a plated brass 510 connector, but user can use aftermarket 510 connectors if theyd like, such as aluminum or SS. (Or I can provide them)
The 510 center pin will be made out of copper alloy, for lower resistance.
5. The mod casing is machined out of aluminum and anodized.
Below are some more pics of the prototype I made. It vapes awesome and one bottle of juice lasts a long time. Since its a prototype, some parts can be pretty crude, but you can get a rough idea.
The following pic gives you an idea of the inside. Notice the 10 amp fuse (red). There is a transparent silicone piece that fits between the (battery negative terminal) spring plate and the housing.
The following pic is a shot of the casing interior
Here is a pic that shows you where the electronic module (shown in blue, to be released later) will fit in the mod. Wires and terminals are not shown. The module will be released as a kit that also includes a few other parts, like terminals, different firing spring, etc.
A final pic...
I hope you've enjoyed reading about my mod. I tried to make it as user friendly as possible.
Currently, Im taking an interest list of ppl who want one. Just PM me. An interest list right now will give me a rough idea on how much material to order.
I will try my best to have the first batch ready to ship by Christmas, and will post a detailed video at that time. Payment will be taken when the mod is ready to ship and after a final confirmation with the buyer.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
Thank you for your support
