Another of the never ending pipes.
Completely disappears in the hand.
Ego connector on this one.

Very nice work,I am wondering though,are you doing all the turning on the lathe in the picture?It looks to be a metal lathe. I have seen some that had been converted to use a tool rest for wood and still use the table for metal work. Awesome work either way! I have used ego connectors on a couple mods and love them,really like the versatility.

Another great looking pipe... alekos557... I'm a big fan of your work.
Some questions if I may....Do you like the V2 switchs? Got one in the mail today,they are tiny,mean that in a good way.
What do you use for a contact for the switch in the bowl?
Also, did you ever come up with something to keep the battery in bowl, when you turn it up-side-down?

If I use a button from e-pipe mods, I just use a magnet under the ground plate.
As for switchs in a pipe...I just have the ground in the bottom and use 1/2 of a key ring in the top...press down and the circut is completed.
I just try to have between 2 and 5mm of vertical movement. So the battery itself is part of the circut. Basically you need a small metal plate sightly larger than the diameter of the battery hole, when you press down, it contacts the key ring which is wired to pos.
You can either have a small spring in the button or under battery.
One moving part...just following the KISS theory of electronics. More moving parts equals more chances for the wildman to mess it up.
