Bottom Feeder info?

[Dalton63841]

I am new to modding, but I have searched EVERY page of mods, and can't really get any clear info on how the bottom feeder works. It seems that it is basically a hypodermic needle, slipped through the connector and into the bottom of the atty. Is this somewhat close? If there is any detailed reading on this, I'd love to be pointed in that direction.

I have a FEW mods all going simultaneously, waiting for parts to come in the mail, but one in particular will blow peoples mind. No details till I am further along though.

the search isnt working for me right now but search for "$8 Juicebox tutorial". Yes you are right, you do use a battery connector that has a large hole in it, run usually a 3ml bottle with a needle attached and thru the connector hole. Then all you do is press the bottle and it will inject juice for you.

read through it, dont use any brass tubing, like they show in the original......it corrodes and you can get sick.

Great! Thank you guys. Also, I will have to order a 3mL bottle for my mod. Does anyone know the diameter of the bottle offhand, as it would help judge bottle placement on one of my mods.

Fits a little looser than a 14500 in length and width, so ~14mm.

You can also use a check valve in the bottle so the juice will only flow one way and tubing instead of a needle.

Thats what I was thinking. Where could I find check valves that small?

It's been a while since I made a feeder using one so I don't have the info in front of me but I think Cole Palmer is where I bought mine. Once you install the valve, the only add'l modding is to accommodate return air.

Thanks alot. I figured I would use 2 check valves. One check valve to prevent liquid from flowing back, and another to allow air to flow into the bottle without letting liquid get out that way.

I have another question that is somewhat OT. Which would get better battery life?

1. 2x14500 in parallel 3.7v@~1200mAh with VV "upconverting" to 6v.
2. 2x14500 in series 7.4v@600mAh with VV "downconverting" to 6v.

My senses tell my that in parallel would still do better on battery life, but I have to wonder how much draw it takes to get it up to 6v...

I'm using one of those $8 box mods now. Don't bother with the check (one-way) valve. If you get the tube in far enough, it doesn't backfeed period. Because a lot of people won't read that whole thread, I need to mention that you shouldn't use brass tubing. Highping found a problem with it later. I used a 16 gauge syringe needle.

I just made one and it KICKS ..... The difference in my design is that the feed tube only goes to the bottom of the nipple, so you have to turn it upside down to feed the atty. I love it.
