Caan anyone build a drip well -- or know where to get one?

[cbrncik]

Hello there!
I have bought many mods -- but finally I have one I love which is a 510 VV --
It doesn't have a drip well -- which I really need or I may fry the vv circuit --
Can anyone make one that I could purchase -- or do you know anyone who can?
Thank you so much for looking!

Could have sworn that I replied to this... Just search for finishing washer.

get a 510 extender or a 510/901 adapter and a 901/510 adapter then screw your 510 on, get a drip sheild and pop it over the top, there ya go.

mwa102464~~~~ Thank you~~ I'm sorry, but I am almost unable to take my eyes off of your avatar. Holy crap, I love it!

Those shields rock, I need a 510 or 306 though.
maybe buy a 901 to 510 adaptor then get the shield?

..that's it. Any hardware store has them in either ss or brass. They just need to make sure it's SEALED or the drip well is nothing but an ornament. Then, it switched to drip shields....lol If you want to go ghetto, a modded 6ml syringe and a couple of gaskets will do the trick

You can try making your own using a pen with rubber grip. It works well using a 510 atomizer. There's a video on Youtube some where. It's the guy that looks like Shrek.

mwa...Hey Dude, Rock here. Again, nice meeting you at Vapefest with Issac. How's that 5V batt working out from Electronic Stix? Those have me real curious...

For OP, I picked up one of the Empire shields at VF Philly and they work great, no leaks, even with a sloppy 306LR. Could also go the finishing washer route from Home Depot.

Thank you for responses --
AM definitely looking for the washer type well --
will go to home depot --
Since it is sealed - how do you attach one to the device?
Thanks!

Best is to grind the middle out so a connector slips in from above, and then install under the connector. This isn't so great to hear if you are retrofitting a finished mod, but you could also grind it out to fit over and then fill in some sort of glue.

naw just one adapter won't be long enough. I'd go with a 510 extender if i didn't already have a bunch of adapters.

Rock Proof: How do you use the dripsheild with the 306? Do you slip an old carto sleeve over it?

 

[Rockproof]

cripple,

They have extra long delrin tips now for the 306's, so with the drip shield slipped on, about 3/8" to 1/2" still extends beyond the top. I get my 306 drip tips here:

Drip Tips Metal or Delrin Plastic
just use the dropdown to select "306 Delrin Long Straight"

If you get the Drip Shield from Empire, just make sure you get a "Bridged (510-901-901-510) Connector" also and you should be good to go.

Best bet is to pull the connector, drill out the finishing washer so that the connector JUST fits it, then run a bead of silicone at the seam of the connector and washer from underneath.

If you are retro-fitting an existing mod and pulling the connector is not a real option, I'd recommend getting one of these for an extender and doing the above, but with the adapter rather than the connector.
