Brass Bikini, Booster & Beast v2

[asdaq]

This started as a single mod with convertible tubing for a different battery choice but grew to three full fledged mods, two newly built and my original Brass Booster (the first) overhauled in many respects.

Features:

• 5/8" and 13/16" (20.6mm OD, 19.05mm ID) brass tubing for bodies
• magnetic mechanical switches, lockable
• magnetic connector spindle style genisis atomizers
• TI PTN04050C booster pods in 15.1mm brass tubing, fixed at 4.43v
• LipLight™ illuminated vaping

Pics:

Brass Beast v2: 18650, 5ml capacity

Brass Bikini v2: 18350, 2ml capacity

Single tube genisis removed:

Brass Booster v2: 14500, 2ml capacity

More How-to-ery to follow.

Starting with 6061 aluminum 12mm rod, grooves for o-rings are cut, pieces cut and holes are drilled:

Plexiglass tubing is cut to length and:

I'm going to hit a limit for the number of pics, we can imagine liquid in the tank I hope.

Sweeeettttt! Kinda has that steampunk look. Now go make me one and send me the bill. I like it a lot.

You do know you are going to get lots of requests to build these right?

The pod is made with brass tubing and washers that telescope into the 5/8" body tubing. Each top cap is soldered and glued into place and has the center drilled partially to hold a matching magnet with a slight lip above and a hole for the light:

The bottom is a matching washer with a slot for the v-in wire and is super glued on (was, doesn't really matter ):

The bottom cap can be popped off _cough_ and the board can be pulled out of the pod.

The positive post is a 1.2mm brass nail soldered to a to a couple wraps of solid .6mm brass wire directly to v-out. The pins were removed from the board and the legs of the components are directly inserted to the remaining holes with all positives towards the inside and negatives outwards. 100 uf 16v caps and a 62k resistor between pins 3 & 4. A 3mm LED with a 100ohm resistor is added to v-out. The GND is a semi springy brass coil that contacts the pod's inner wall There is a small piece of heatshrink on the positive leg of the LED and a dab of glue protecting v-out, otherwise air and tension from the components against the tube isolate. Here are two finished:

And the two pods not quite finished:

Any questions, just ask!

Except that one question, these are NFS, for that I am sharing the trade secrets!

Those are SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice job Asdag!!!

Thank you people, they were fun to make. I would say there isn't an 'e-cig part' to be found in these, but that is not true, the B. Booster has a thin ring of carto condom to bring the switch base size up to the ID of the brass tube.

Whiskey, are you the person with the huge collection of mods that I might have seen only a fraction of?

 

[sanjosse]

Subscribing cause they're so cool looking. Great work asdaq!

 

[breaktru]

Fantastic As. You are amazing my friend.

 

[TomCatt]

LOL...I guess I have many some might say..I think its a rather modest collection

Uh oh, you found another one, I will get to that one very soon. Pic hosting blues

Those are awesome asdaq I am looking to make a fully recessed genesis inside a vv pipe with no ecig connectors. Curious, how do you vape it, I don't see a drip tip or anything. Forgive me if I missed something, that is a work of art. Superb craftsmanship!

Thanks Sammy, there is no driptip, not really. For me they just add length and get caught in the pocket. There are a couple of mouthpiece types shown here, just the tubing end with a flat disc of aluminum and a small downtube, and also the same thing with with a slightly longer contoured piece of aluminum like in the very first pic of this thread. That is also the most recent of the pics so there is some differences along the way in the others.

Asdaq, your work always amazes me and these are no exception, good going!

Thank you Robert, too kind. Tomcatt, the pics are back thanks to classwife's speedy help.
