Casted the first half of the new mouthpiece mold and saw that there was a small hump half way down the piece. Not that it was a hump per say but, it looked like a hump. Can't have that so, I put it to the belt sander and took it off. Then reshaped it and buffed it out. Will recast it...
Finished the new mouth piece plug for the mold. Made the changes in it that I had talked about. The bite end is a little larger then the first one. I found that the other one didn't have enough meat on it for clean up. I had to be very careful removing the flashing. Tomorrow I'll get...
As time goes on there will be new pipes and styles released. As the company grows so will the lines of pipes. Some where in there I'm sure there will be a pipe with a small curve in the mouthpiece. The full bent pipes will be just that.
Everything takes shape at it's own speed. That's...
Yes I will be making the bent pipe after I get the bugs worked out of this one. You will see it come to life right here on this thread. How cool is that.
First thing on the list was the pipes mouth piece. It needed to fit a Mini Pro-tank and a few others. The lead into the stem was to big and last, the bite needed to be flatter. Turned out the insert and the mold plug on the lathe. Tomorrow I'll throw them both in the mill and remove...
The new cap is done and on. I've spent more time and lose of sleep over this cap, then any other part. Turned out that simple is the best way. The cap just works like butter. Bow my head-------it was the wife's idea. Moving on, spent time in the vape shops today, talking to owners and...
Thank you, The circuit is not fixed voltage per say. It does have a cutoff high voltage with a fresh battery by design. Then it just starts acting up when the battery voltage gets low. By then the tank is dry. So, fill the tank change the battery is how it is working for now. One of the...
There's a lot more to come. Worked all day on a new battery cap design. Tomorrow I'm going to start work on package presentation and see how the new cap looks on the pipe. Is the pipe in your avatar one of yours?
I was able to spend most of the day vaping the new pipe. Ran through five batteries and filled the tank six times. Running no nic in the juice so I can walk a straight line. Not once did the circuit get hot. I got the plastic over the coil very warm once. Going to just enjoy this one for...
Part two is installing the battery case into the pipe. It just slides right in and has a nice clean look to it, unlike my first try. You can touch the touch pad connection and B+ at the same time and see if the green light comes on. This proves that the circuit is working. Adjusted the...
Was able to finish the battery holder and new electronics today. Hard wired the adaptor to the circuit board. There are two upright post that hold the PCB to the battery case and supplies B+ along with the sensor pad to the PCB. This board is not water proof but, the production ones will be.:)
Casted the new plastic battery holder. It still needs to be faced off and sized. Made a quick printed circuit board for testing. There is a company here in town that will laser cut them for me when I get the final design down. Until then I'll just do them by hand. Tomorrow it should be done...
Went to put the battery holder and electronics into the pipe today. As hard as I tried, I could not get it to look like a clean install. One wire run over the top of a screw and then ran over the top of LED, blocking it some what. It looked good in my head when I built it and at three in the...
Pulled the mouth piece out of the mold this morning. Cleaned off all the flashing and gave it a sanding. In the second pic you can see the wire molded into the mouth piece down by the bite. It has a square slot on the mouth side and the lock ring on the other. There will be an o-ring between...
Thank you, there's more to come.
I don't have a target price yet. After I finish the proto-type I'll put the numbers together and see what it looks like. Then comes the question, will more then 50 people buy them. You can make the best product in the world and price yourself right out of...
