    Building Custom Pipes

    One of the things I want is for my pipe to sit upright when I put it down. To do this it has to have a flat bottom. I would like this to be a trade mark of my pipes. Cut and sanded the bowl into a little apple shape with a flat bottom. Bored the inside for the battery holder and cap. The...

    Pulled out the new battery cap and cap ring. Have some hand work to do on the molds still but, I'll do that later. I think for now it's time to move on to making the bowl. Going to do the first ones by hand until I come up with a design I like. Then I will write the G-code and do them on my...

    Got around to pulling the part out of the mold this afternoon. It turned out great. Built a little test jig to fit it and try it. I found that you would have to turn the pipe upside down and let the battery cap fall out into your hand. If you didn't hold it just right the cap would jam and...

    Today I finished the battery cap ring mold. It was a task to make this little mold. Had to do an insert in order to make it work. I'll cast a part tomorrow and see where I need to do some hand work on it. Made some changes to the cap mold too. So I'll cast a new part out of that one aswell...

    For the first run of 50 I'm going to pour the molds with urethane, pressure cast at 60 PSI and then heat to 250 for 2 hours. If all works out I will then make the injection molds for the next run. Not being one that likes to hold the stem in his mouth, I didn't think about other people doing...

    I forgot to post the pictures of the battery cap. You can see the slot between the tabs and the top in one pic. The top of the battery cap in an other ( old and new). The last would be the bottom, with the tabs showing, with the alum back ground. I think this is going to work much better...

    Talk about not being able to stay on track. Headed out to the shop, bright and early this morning to finish the battery cap. Got started on the stem mold and couldn't stop. Set the stem plug in 90 minute alum-epoxy. Let it set, flipped it over and did the other side. I set the plug .010...

    I also got some time in on the stem. I need to put it to the buffer wheel to make it shine. Then make a mold of it. The insert will be the hard part. It has to be tappered so I can pull it out and hold the locking ring with the wire soldered to it. That all gets molded into the stem and has...

    Well, I didn't like the cap and I made it. I thought the threads would cause problems somewhere down the line. All you need is a little piece of dirt or lint to get in there and you have problems. Made a new mold with a different design altogether. Going for the tab and slot look. Took the...

    Finished up the back plug for the battery cap mold. Not real happy with with how the mold turned out. I like the design but, it has to fine of threads on it. It will take to long to turn it out of the pipe I think. I'm going to redo the thread plate and try it again. I did a quick cast to...

    Building Custom Pipes

    I got up this morning planning on making a pipe bowl. When I got out to the shop I got to thinking about the cap that will go over the battery holder. Might be important to get that done first. Thought I would throw out a few TXT to some friends and see what they think it should look like...

    Buy a small hobby lathe and have fun. Learn as you go. Post picture of your projects. The ones that don't turn out so well hold the camera father back until they look good. LOL The neg side on this pipe does come out of the center connection of the adaptor. It runs straight to the neg side...

    Building Custom Pipes

    So today I worked out the new adaptor with the adjustable contact. It is spring loaded but, the contact is still hard wired. I added the 510 connector. What you do is loosen the set screw so the contact pops out. Screw the cart all the way down, then back off a half turn. Tighten the set...

    Thank you. My goal is to build high end pipes that will last for years and years.

    Here is some pics of that adaptor. After talking to a few people on the subject, I'm going to change it. It needs to have the 510 connector aswell and the center post needs to be adjustable. Going to make that change right away. PM me your address and I will send you the one I'm not going to...

    You for sure need the first one but, one is not enough. Thanks for following the thread.

    Building Custom Pipes

    There was one thing that I think should be a must with the battery holder and elec circuit. You should be able to take it out of the pipe for repairs if needed. This is a three wire system that comes up the sides of the battery holder and connects to three screws on top. There are two grooves...

    Building Custom Pipes

    Hello there. Here is the story. I've been asked by a number of people to make them an e-pipe. I had a thread over in the mod section but got a hand slap for pre-saleing. I was in the wrong, so now I'm here, where I should be. I'm going to proto-type a few pipes, come up with a model I like...

    Making An E-Pipe.

    You're correct about the battery ground spring moving the whole battery up to open the switch. As far as making any changes to this pipe, it is what it is. I like the switch idea and I think this winter I'm going to make an injection mold for the parts. I have eight people that want me to...
