    Atmistique Atomizers

    So, basically ... this? Standard 510 XL (or Mega) cartomizer with a drip-tip o-ring on it. Want the stopper-top? Just slap a drip tip with a wide body (like a ming) on it. Boom. Done. :)

    This has happened to me before, but usually not - and when it does happen the carto is often at the end of its useful life anyway. I do seem to recall it happening more often early on, but since then I've dutifully massaged the face of the tank after every refill until I'm sure there are 1) no...

    Been ponderin', which kinda hurts. But this done squirted out, thought I'd put it right he-ya and see if it made any sense on its own. Kinda tired, no 'splainin' left in me, except to say the concept is just one NR leg. . . .

    Or better yet, adjustable. Even the Diver's is fixed (not sure about the Killer 705). "Adjustable" doesn't have to mean threading up and down (though that might be cool). Could be more like a carto, slip-fit style. Of course, that's an ideal. Basically flush would probably git'erdone...

    Another tutorial here on ECF suggested using these -- pure silver apparently, not just plated -- and just melting them with a butane lighter or torch. Been thinking about giving them a try. Might give it go come time for the next Diver rebuild (or Model X test, assuming I'm on Team ScubaBat for...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part VIII: Wrapping up: Despite what has been a somewhat disappointing test run for this prototype, I think there are some promising concepts here that will bear much good fruit with some tweaking. The issues as I see them: - 510 threading is a bit large -- does...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part VII: And the first portait properly installed in the BB tank: Bottom view: Top view: This is the inside of the BB tank compartment - mostly for Dan to see. Basically a flat center/positive pin surrounded by a silicon gasket that is supposed to seal...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part VI: So, building coil after coil and still having intermittent results when its moved, screwed in, when the body is screwed on, etc. And to top things off, 1) I'm running out of beer, and 2) I lost the Model X center pin. Tragedy that the beer shortage is, it is...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part V: Before getting going, had to make sure I had all the proper tools and equipment. Messing around for a bit with coil after coil I kept getting intermittent results. After working to make better NR/R connections, I was still getting intermittent results -- but now...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part IV: Screwed on the top: Stuck it in a J-Tank. Note that with the wick trimmed close, it does insert into the tank with not a lot of work. However, it does seem to me that every time I do this, some bits of wick get pulled out and end up between the Model X and the...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part III: There were no instructions, but I figured the basic idea here is an NR - R - NR coil with one leg held between the base and the insulator for ground, and the other leg between center pin and the insulator for positive. So, coil build time. This is supposed to...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part II: At some point I had to take it apart: Here are the basic pieces of which it is comprised: Base, insulator, center pin and body. And a side view: On the side view, you may note the relatively shallow lip just inside the base of the atty connector. This...

    Dan's RBA testing, Part I: Well, sheesh. Here we are, guess it's time to get to brass tacks and such-not. Gonna break this up into groups of pics and descriptions each and see how it goes. So, received the Model X (that's what I'm calling it) prototype late last week. Basic...

    Oh, good gosh ... leave you folks alone long enough and you're playing with crayons. Please tell me you're not eating the play-doh. . . .

    Just thought I'd drop a note ... will be putting up some results and pics tomorrow. Did some playing around this afternoon but got roped into a social thing tonight and just too tapped out to put it all together now. But soon. Soooooon.

    Datalux - Sorry to see that. Pretty sure I experienced something similar earlier this week after dropping TWO BB tanks is some very hot (not boiling) water, except in my case there is no visible deformity - the tanks just leaked when I used them and I couldn't tell why until happened to have...

    Hey, all, just a quick update on Dan's prototype until I can spend some quality time with it and get some pics to go along with. Today's been a long day and there are some plans for tomorrow, so hoping tomorrow afternoon or evening is the sweet spot. It's obviously a prototype, it's got some...

    First, ya gotta design your own ScubaTank™. Then you can name this thing: - The Regulator™ - The O2N™ - The Heliox™ - The Embolism™ ... no, wait, not that. . . . And for a BB-specific version you might try: - The Pony™ - The Reserve™ Just thinkin' out loud, here.

    Well, true ... and "engineering specifications subject to change without notice." :) I'll PM you before setting up the drill press for an enshortening operation. . . . ;)

    That came to mind to me as well. When it gets here I'll do some fit tests with a couple of different wick/coil configurations and get some pics up ASAP.
