Atomizer / Cartomizer for life....

[l3oertjie]

Just finished making this with a stainless steel atty. It screws onto the standard ego battery and holds approximately 4ml juice. You can for the entire day on one fill.....

Special price for members. only $1000.00ea. Minimum order 10...... (just kidding b.t.w.)

 

[Persis]

I want technical specs and full details of the atty construccion and the cigar shield.

URGENT !!!!

That looks sweet! Hey, are we allowed to use real hand rolled tobacco leaves for an e-cig? I'd also like to see how the atty goes, it sure is juicy

It sure is juicy, and goes like a bomb - a smoke bomb! it's just my standard needle & pin assembly in a bigger shell to match the ego battery. I'm also quite sure a cigar leaf will look very pretty and smell the part too! I have also built a genesis like this one to fit the ego batt's, but want to wait for part 2, it aint smoking as well as I'm used too like these atty's. Raidy needs to give advise...

why dont you guys just reuse the wick material from cartomizers? I've been moddin my e2 cartos and now I have a ton of wick material that came with them in a little baggie...christ I could make 15 of those wick setups with just the cuts from teabaggin my e2's

#13, That looks real nice. and Asdaqs idea of a tobacco leaf sounds real interesting. Having a needle and pins atty with the tobacco leaf wrap may be just what the doctor ordered. I have been dying for a cigar and just chewing the leaf instead of metal or plastic could give me the satisfaction i am looking for. i feel another thread coming. :>)

Those wicks sound nice, take a torching and clean up white again, so I wouldn't toss them if I were you. Seems they just didn't wick fast enough but that sounds like the fault of the tube/cup pinching them too much, as the syringe mod seems to help. PTB can help too, but that string sounds pretty impressive.

I have officially given up on the genesis stainless steel wick. Tried everything (and maybe it's just my personal taste) but I just don't get the required taste and TH I want. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a brilliant idea, just not for me.... The Genesis produces vapour just fine, but I get very little TH from it. Being a strong ex-cigarette smoker I miss the tickle in the back of the throat.

I took some nice ideas from the Genesis atty and incorporated with this one for an even easier setup. Will post some pics on Monday.

Well different strokes for different folks will always apply. One man's favorite liquid is another's garbage. Some folks love VG liquids, I prefer PG. Some rave about cartos, for me they are a poor substitute for real atties.

I also find this comment interesting.

I won't go into how long I've smoked, but I didn't know what TH was till my first Joye atty with 36mg liquid.

Oh well, eagerly awaiting your new project.

 

[roadrash]

I tried the genesis stainless steel wick with a very course mesh and the Th was enough to choke a horse.

Been using different variations of your pins and needle setup. Even lengthened one of the post to use for the Genesis.

What ohms did you run on the cigar mod?

Waiting for the next project also. :>)

Hmmmmm. All good things come to those who wait......

I'm testing for a few days. If it works it is worthy of posting. So far so good. Been 7 days so far. GREAT results. Will report back with pics when satisfied. In a nutshell: Easy varying airflow. Easy wick and coil replacement. Very clean taste. Longer lasting battery it seems - (sofar). Easy to build. No complicated machined parts required - although mine was partly machined....

Coming soon after testing WillyB....

Thank you very much for posting this idea on here. I was able to, after suffering thru a soldering learning curve, create my own serviceable atomizer. No more worries about checking the mail to see if my atties arrived or what the fda will do. It is hard to express addiction and freedom in a word, but I'm feelin it.

Personally I don't like cartos. I need fresh juice and fresh flavor. I still drip on this device and and only leave a 1/4" of wick on each side of the coil. I also wind the coil tightly over a 16g needle and thread the coil by hand. I use the wick from a few dozen dead e2 cartos in my boneyard. I would love to find a supply of that silica yarn. Maybe I'm not quite free yet.

I would love to find a supply of that silica yarn. Maybe I'm not quite free yet.

I bought a 100m roll of silica rope (6mm) with 12 strands of 2mm strands for $12 (converted currency). That means I can make a 40mm wick for less that 0.40 US Dollar cents (less that half a cent).... (excluding the kanthral / nichrome off course).

All and all, a wick replacement costs me less that 4 cents. I have enough money to replace wicks every 2 hours if I want too... but only just... and I have to budget for it...

 

[WillyB]

Tired of pflaying with raw stands of silica rope like this.

I want this.

 

[skeetr]

I have been searching but all I can usually find is 1/4" min width. Where did you get that bag of fine silica string??????

Ah, bullismoker.com. Got it. So is this fiberglass or silica?

Ok guys, here is my new atty.

I didn't take too many pics yet - sorry. More will follow later when I replace the wick and coil next time to show things a bit clearer.

A few things explained:

I made it from an old ego battery casing so that it would be the same diameter as the battery. Standard 510 connecter inside. I have also soldered the syringe needles straight onto the connector in the same way as the original atty earlier in the post. The big difference is that there is no more a central air tube from the bottom going through the liquid. The liquid is now in an empty chamber (except the tow syringe needles off course). The airflow comes through the cap via 5 small holes drilled around the perimeter of the cap. I have also cut small slots in the top of the atty to line up with these holes in the cap so that when turning the cap you can adjust the airflow or completely close them to prevent any accidental spilling. It works very nicely indeed!

The next important feature is the cap itself. You will see that I have inserted a small length of copper tubing. This tube must stop directly over the coil and wick - maybe 1mm distance between them. This much improves the airflow across the coil and TH as well as vapour production is dramatically increased.

Another unexpected benefit was when I cleaned the coil for the first time. The "gunk" washed off very easily (just rinsed off) and exposed an almost new nichrome coil and silica wick. Not sure why this is happening, but I suspect it has something to do with very even airflow across the entire coil. Yet another benefit is that it seems that one can go a bit higher on the resistance of the coil - improving battery life off course. I am a firm TH fan, but since the air intake is so close to the coil, it was almost too much - (even for me).... I am using a 4ohm coil at the moment.

Anyways, the pictures below should explain the whole thing better. I have made a ceramic top cap with 4 holes in it. Two holes are for filling (one fill port and one breather port). The other two holes are there to push the wicking ropes through. They need to be really close to the syringe needles. You can't really see them clearly in the pics with the wick stuck through them. I will post pictures of the open top later.

This is by far my preferred atty at the moment.

Hope you enjoy!

Wicked indeed. The aggressive airflow system is just great and adds to the looks. Does it all fit into your cigar casing? I'm using a similar 3/2mm alu tube but not going so close to the coil as that gets to be too harsh for me. One thing, the breather and fill holes, if you corked them, would it not work then? That seems like it would be the biggest source of leaking. Also how are you getting the pins so nicely crimped? My needles wouldn't do that they only bend some and snap so I went to straight pins.

Oh and is that a service tool in the last pic? I've been wondering what would be ideal for carrying with me, as mosquito forceps are great, but not to be carried about.
