Alright kids.....hold on to yer hats.......

before:
standard parts for the AC9

here you can see the 510 threads not complete and no back cut, keeping it from threading down flush on some devices:

using my lathe, some taps and a lil creativity I made these:

a new positive post/screw:

new harder, tighter fitting delrin bushings:

back cut the 510 threads and chased them with my die:

Do any of y'all taste a plastic taste from the tank?

 

[spraintz]

Now, through the course of building all this I had an unfortunate tank disaster and it broke......but here it is all together on the EA Mod:

full flush:

Thanks for viewing......

Can see the lean between two normal devices...

Thin Edge:

Thick Edge:

Mine does not lean. They should send you a new one for free, they pay shipping and everything... That's what provape is doing for a faulty cable I had just recently received.

spraintz sick job... If I wanted to start doing some stuff like that, what kind of lathe are we talking about here?

 

[spraintz]

honestly, you wouldn't even truly require a lathe to do all that I posted above.......it is just far more precise and "finished".

Any decent 7x12 mini lathe would be a good place to start but keep in mind......the right tooling and ton's of practice is what will give you good parts.

 

[DSmooch]

yep, googled "7x12 mini lathe" and there were a few hits definitely sounds like a nice present to ask for once?!

 

[spraintz]

ya don't have to blow yer whole wad on a lathe but don't cheap out really either.....do a lil research and you'll find that there are some better 7x12 and 7x14 lathes out there.

Like I said, tooling and lathe setup/maintenance will be key to success. I highly recommend getting a quick change tool holder right off the bat.....makes life a lot easier. for tooling, at the very very least get a decent set of turning tools and some good boring bars. You might want to get some threading tools as well but that's kinda an art to setup and takes some time to learn. I would suggest getting good at turning basics before jumping full into threading......

Oh, and go slow.......there is no rush in a machine shop......

careful tho.....once you get into it, collecting and buying new tools to do different things is about as addictive as collecting high end atomizers and mods

 

[DSmooch]

I'm glad I asked! I had to google a lot of what you said... "change tool holder"? what? I didn't know that even existed.
The funny thing is I'm pretty much into woodworking and yet, totally different world.
Man thanks for the bone, it gave me a lot of directions to look into.
"change tool holder"? holly C..p! gotta get one...

 

[spraintz]

quick change tool post are friggin awesome....you can set all the different tool to the the proper height of center and lock em down on their individual holders......and when you need to change tools(all the time) then you just pop on the next tool holder and it's already indexed to center.......so much easier to have fun if ya spend the lil extra dough on stuff like that......

Finally setup my AC9 (the first attempt at oxidizing and wrapping was a complete fail). So I had some time today for second attempt and my conclusion: I LOVE this device. It creates more vapor on a three second draw than a 5-6 second draw on the Ody. A little deceptive because of the airy draw but the vapor (and my body) doesn't lie. I actually had to put my mod down to contemplate and understand what the hell just happened. My full compliments to the designer.

I just popped a fresh 18350 into my GP Paps and now I have to sit down again. Isn't she lovely?

 

[DSmooch]

Hey Guys,

I have 2 new AC9's from the second batch and both are leaking thru the 510 connection. Does anyone know a fix for this?
