So, start to finish was about seven months and a untold amount of money that the wife never saw go out the door. The all in one molded battery holder will take a VapeSafe and if you look there is a 1/8" post coming out of bottom of the holder. This is a compression strut that is soldered to...
The final outcome of some auto fire problems was to encase the whole works in plastic. This meant molding all the electronics inside the the battery holder as one unit. That included the battery spring in the bottom of the holder. The two 510 connector wires come out the bottom and are...
I started out with a two piece battery holder and circuit board that fitted into it. Three wires ran to the top of the battery holder. Touch pad wire, positive wire and ground. The idea was that you could undo the wires and remove the electronics for repairs if needed. The problem was that...
The first step in making an auto pipe was to come up with a circuit that would work. There was a few things that I wanted it to do. It had to be strong. Not this, vape for 2 seconds, then wait 5 minutes for it to cool down, then take another hit. I didn't want it to stress the battery. It...
I'm going to do a little history on Springfield Custom Pipes. It's been one year since I started this quest to build an all auto, touch e-pipe. I've done most of my builds and development out in the open, on the forums, for people to see. This was two fold. One, I don't pretend to know all...
One more thing to share is the load tester I built. I now can test the circuit board before I ship any of my pipes for leakage at rest and voltage cut-off when the pipe is over loaded. Plus normal operation. I can also load test batteries. That has turned out to be very interesting.:huh:
Have a few to show off that are different. One is a matte finish with a bushed stainless steel beauty ring and matte finished stem. The other is made out of 100 year old black walnut that was given to the customer by his father. Two ever nice pipes and they were fun to make.:D
You have all seen the SCP full auto touch pipes with the straight shank and stems. I'm going to start doing some freehands as I get time. This is my first try at it. The freehands will have features that the straights do not. More on this as the build goes on. Enjoy
Ask all the questions you would like. The electronics tries to keep the circuit in balance. It will not let you put more then 3.7 volts to the atty and it will not let the battery discharge any faster then it's condition will allow, down to 3.1 volts. You can use a 2.5ohm, down to a 1 ohm...
I need to update this thread more often. I finished the new battery holder. Now all the electronics are molded into the battery holder and you can use a VapeSafe in it. The whole electronic pakage still comes out of the pipe by removing three screws. Makes for a much better package and it...
An update for the Springfield pipes. Worked on a new battery holder. The electronics are going to be molded into the battery holder. Made a test mold out of rubber to start with. The new battery holder will have a Vape Safe in it.
One of the projects that I've been working on is doing the bowls on a 5 axis CNC router. It all starts with a block of wood and ends up with a pipe bowl. There are different designs I want to try.:)
