Interesting, your seems to be air-flow dependent like a standard atty. Raidy made a point of saying his is not.

Nice 'peace'. 'l3oer', can you PM me some dimensions for an Ego sized genisis? I'll more than likely make one for my Vgo which is similar.

Nice build peace. For size reference, what size screw is that, M2? You might want to shorten that heatshrink tubing some so that it isn't so exposed close to the coil to the point it might give off fumes. By $50, is that for a top and bottom or per piece?

This screw is M3. Tube for isolating is so small but in pictures look big and I think there not be a problem. I pay $50 for two sets of bottom, plexi tube, top and top cap. Material for that I buy before.

What device are you using this on?

As it the fluid in the wick rizes, there is more mass suspended within the wick. Eventually this amount of mass aproaches a hight where there is enough mass for gravity to pull down on the fluid hard enough to cancel out the interatomic forces that want to pull the fluid up the capillary.

Ummm, I'm having a hard time visualizing this... The wick is not a single "capillary" like a pipette. The fluid being drawn up the wick is not a single, solid column of liquid like it would be in a pipette is it? I guess all this would be dependent on the molecular attraction of the liquid to the wick material surface opposed to the molecular attraction of the liquid to itself (surface tension)?

Much like a mercury thermometer, fluid will rize faster at the base of the wick than it does when it aproaches the calculated maximum hight for the fluid/geometery involved.

But a mercury thermometer does not work on capillary action at all. I understand the analogy to a pipette with liquid in it but maybe a thermometer is a bad example.

If it takes a very long time to get the necisary amount of fluid to wick to the coil, you might want to think about decreasing the ID of the capillary. Perhaps the calculated maximum hight for the fluid in the capillary you constructed is to close to the measured value for the hight of the coil.

I hope that was clear, i cannot get much clearer without some mathematics and/or a chart. This is why many people are recommending to make the wick tighter.

l3oertjie did you actually fire that little cermic guy with the torch? Did you dry it in an oven first or just use the torch?

The term capillary is not just used to describe a column of fluid like in a pipet. The movement of water through soil is also a capillary effect. Think of it like how water moves through soil (but verticle instead of hozirontal) combined with a column like in a pipet.

And sorry about the thermometer analogy. I was trying to describe how the rate at which the fluid climbs is inversely proportional to the hight of the fluid. I did not mean to imply that the principles behind each were related. I mean... mercury wouldnt actually rise up a capillary like water or e-juice would. The capillary effect would actually cause mercury to move down a verticle capillary rather than up it. With mercury the meniscus would actually be below the surface level of the fluid in the tank.

Oh well, im getting side tracked.

It looks like you are having a lot of success! Ill be getting my stuff in soon. Though... as a craftsman...lets just say that itll be functional but not pretty! LOL think of raidy's mod using a bathroom tile. Yeah... that bad looking LOL

Yes, i was wondering the same thing. Please tell me you did it with the torch LOL.

Just let air dry overnight then fire for 10 minutes or so. 1300 deg C

what about shrinkage?

Thats nothing much to worry about, just stay away from cold water

Maybe usefull tip. Instead 1mm hole on the top cap i drill hole 0,8mm. I must use little much force to inhale but I have same amount of vapor but better throat hit.

Another tip, I drilled the air hole so that one of the standoffs would block the air flow and then you just turn it a bit to have adjustable air flow.

Good idea.

 

[l3oertjie]

I form the cap with the clay, let it dry a bit, drill the holes and let dry completely - then fire. It becomes so hard when fired that you would need a diamond tip drill bit to cut a hole when done with firing.

Shrinkage not a problem - I epoxy the disk in position when fired. The shrinkage is minimal.

peaceofcake: Did you have parts machined from aluminum or SS? The work looks exceptional and I am planning something similar to your parts. Very good pics also.

Nice addition of the airscrew.

I use Al MgSi-1. Thx.

OK back to serious for a bit.
Do me a favor, Make up a quick new cap for the top of your genesis with some clear tubing so that you can see how much condensation that you get when you get it vaping. I'd like to see what others are getting.
This is what I got after 6 hits (and that was yesterday. It hasn't evaporated any).

It seems like you have to have condensation when breathing vapor. If it's smoke you absorb particles, if it's vapor you absorb microdropplets of flavor and nicotine. You can probably find more answers and posts about this in a general vaporizer technicality thread.
