    My Atty Resurrection Method

    There is really no need to replace cruddy silica thread. You just burn out the crud and you are good to go. I've done many, many times now and my six month old atty still hits like new. Now, if you are just looking for a project... I guess there's no harm in it. It's just really not...

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    Building it right now :) If my new design works out, the button will have 'open', 'use', and 'lock' positions.

    My Atty Resurrection Method

    I agree with portguy. I'm surprised that with 17 drops you didn't see liquid filling the atty past the bridge :p When I dripped with a 510 I always used 3 drops. Toward the end of my dripping days, when I was getting really fed up with dripping every 5 minutes, I was putting in 4 drops, but...

    My Atty Resurrection Method

    That is silica wick that the coil is wrapped around. While it has been suggested in other threads that this can be removed to improve performance, I disagree. The reason this *appears to* improve performance in some attys is because it was dirty and no longer wicking. By removing it they have...

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    Yeah, the problem with angling the atty is that the whole thing gets bigger. My intent here was to see how small I could make a BB mod. I could still get a little smaller because the two tubes spread away from each other a little when I was furiously sculpting, so the battery and atty are...

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    42109 and Jason365 The epoxy I used is Plumber's Epoxy Putty. So far it seems really versatile. It's pliable like clay for about 5 minutes then hard as a rock in about 20 minutes. Once it's hard it's very tool-able. You can sand it, drill it, cut it like wood. Very handy stuff. Seems...

    You and me both. :p I may just break down and use and actual switch on the next one.

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    MM: I completely misread your question. I thought you said pic of the bottom. You said pic of the button :rolleyes: The button just has a hole drill in the side and the wire feeds into it and hits the bottom (err top...negative, flat side) of the battery.

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    Just barely. On the next one I will bring the atty up just a touch. My whole intent when I dreamed up this design was a "stealth BB vaper". It definitely fits the bill for that, but it is a little tight. My thumb is on my bottom lip while I hit it. I really don't like the button, it was one...

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    Sorry, I didn't get a pic of the bottom before I entombed it (never to be seen again). Did use a couple pieces of pipe to form it around. I'm not sure of the sizes. I went to a hobby store last week and was looking at all the different sizes trying to figure out what to get Yhen I saw a...

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    Wish granted... I bet it's not as grand as whatever you had in your head :p Basically a 510 connector with a wire running over to that copper plate and another out the top that connects to the button. The button is just a button too, not a switch. It operates just like my JB mod... smash...

    First coat of paint... Ugh, need to work on my paint skills :rolleyes:

    My first All Epoxy Mod

    Well here's my first mod made entirely of epoxy. The only thing that is not epoxy is the 510 tread connector, the spring under the batt, and one wire that runs up to the button. There are no plastic or metal tubes in it. And, as with all my mods so far, no switch. It uses the same switching...

    The Mini Juice Machine Mk 3

    Wow Peter! I missed all the updates today because I got sidetracked 'playing' with epoxy myself. :rolleyes: I managed to get my clip-in wireless bottle/atty connector put together last night, but in the process started trying to see just what this epoxy I have would do. So I have made lots of...

    new to mods help please

    Well there are no 5V Li batts (they are all 3V and 3.7V), so you have a few options... 1) You can use a big 3.7V (like an 18650) and a step-up DC converter. 2) you can use two 3V in series to get 6V, then use a 5V regulator to step it down. 3) I haven't seen anyone doing this, but you may be...

    My Candy box mod

    Looks great totter! I love to be able to use common items as a starting point for builds. The 510 juicebox that I'm building is using a standard battery box (the one that 18650's come in) and it fits a 6ml bottle and 18650 perfectly. Mine's still a little rough looking, but by the time I'm...

    My Atty Resurrection Method

    Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! That's really great to hear. Makes me wish I had some more tips to improve things. I think I've got the atty and cart part of it down to pretty simplified processes, so be watching for some how-to's on DIY batt mods and juice feed systems from me...

    My Simple Cart Mod

    Thanks to everyone for all the great feedback on this. Great stuff to hear! Very nice to know that it's making vaping life a little easier for so many :thumbs: BTW: Don't forget to check out my atty cleaning method if you've got some old attys that aren't cutting it anymore. Takes 5-10...

    My (very basic) 510 juicebox

    Oh, and just so that last pic makes a little more sense... (keep in mind, the copper is still very rough and unfinished looking...it will look better by the time I'm done with it) More tomorrow (hopefully)

    My (very basic) 510 juicebox

    Didn't get to work on it much last night, but here's a little preview of the new wireless clip-in bottle. I have started building the clips but just haven't put them in a box yet. Trying to work out the best way to do the switching mechanically.
