DIY E Pipe help

[Ken_A]

OK - I've watched the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rGw7tzM4sI
and I'm getting dense about the part that shows you where to solder things....
"the black wire solders to the inside of the connector sleeve and to the negative battery post." ? how?
Naturally, I want to be able to pull the battery in and out so I can switch them when one runs dry and needs to be recharged. That way I can keep on vaping.
can anyone provide more complete instructions? I have 3 or 4 analogue pipes I want to convert. I'm sure that there are other people that want to do the same thing.

Soldering directly to the battery is not a good idea. It is bad for the battery to take prolonged heat and the joint is likely to fail. A spot welded battery tab is what one ought to solder to. The builder probably couldn't find another compact solution. The intent is to charge this like an ego battery with an ego charger and never remove the battery.

With perhaps a thinner cap solution (?) and the use of neodymium magnets on the ends of the battery, one could get removable connections under 2mm.

Yea I have a few I wouldn't mind trying to mod...

Here is a pic if the 3 I have .. I haven't watched the above video, but how hard can it be????

Thanks for the replies, but here is what I want to do..
Instead of soldering to the battery, I want to put a magnet in the bottom and a swing arm on the top. Battery would go positive side down... the part I'm not following is where and how to attach the wires of the switch. I'm fairly certain about two of them, but the black wire seems to be going to both the metal of the housing and to the battery... which seems like it would just complete a circuit. anyone have any diagrams I can look at, or have really good explanation skills?

Here it is directly from the video.. Obviously, I would want to attach to a spring arm and a magnet instead of to the battery.

That video is not that good for learning how to wiring (I think he even says that in there, may have been in his first post about the video though).

Also, a magnetic switch (unless im mistken) is normally off right? Don't know how you would charge it in that situation with the ego charger. I guess that is why you want to remove the battery.

I suppose you're supposed to use another wire for the black. Black at 2 different point won't cause the circuit to be complete because the switch is breaking the red's connection.

Does this help any?........

 

[Ken_A]

So, if I'm reading correctly... You are indeed connecting the negative wire to both the battery and the connector. However, since one positive connector goes to the battery and the OTHER goes to the positive post, you only complete the Circut when activating the button.

I believe this is the way to wire the e-go switch in kena.....

You may know, or not know that the e-go switch regulates the voltage to about 3.4 volts.....and theoretically you would be able to charge thought the battery connector.....there are of course other features in the switch;short circuit and, low battery protection,etc..?......

With that, I have reach my level of incompetence on this subject. Better minds than mine should now way in and correct my mistakes......

 

[Ken_A]

Yeah duckie, I chose this because of the short and low battery protections... If I get a taller pipe, I may decide on a different switch to use the kick with.. Just putting my feet in the water for now
