E-pipe afficiando thread

[hiltsbilt]

I vape but will still pick up a pipe a couple of times a year (mostly around Christmas) and have a smoke (don't judge me). but I have been meaning to pick one of these up for years. I would want to get one with 510 connection and 510 drips so I can change out the tank to something rebuildable, but other than that a lot of that I think I could rock one

No judgement here, enjoy life! I do think you would love an ePipe, based on my outstanding experience.

Right, the wire ring is not in the pipe, it was just a test! I considered sanding down the fuse button, should be pretty simple like sanding down a guitar nut. I’ll probably do it.

I put the caliper on my fuse, it measures 0.10 inch thick. How thick is your spacer jandrew?

I don't have calipers for precise measuring ... but with a small ruler it looks like the spacer magnet is 2mm+ (just a bit above 2mm), and the fuse/board thickness seems closer to 2.5mm. Sorry I can't really do better than that.

OK that is confirmation enough, thanks.

Many, perhaps most (but not all), epipe models have standard 510 or ego/510 connections, so they can be used with any 510 tank/RTA/RDA. I'm only using rebuildables with mine (either the Dwarv 16mm RTA or one of my RDAs).

Good info, thanks

Copper is better!

 

[YorkMan]

I think that I’ll tack solder the copper wire on top of the silver ring to raise the level for reliable operation.

I've been following this thread with interest. Very cool.

@jandrew , I like your Limelight Purple Orchid from a few pages back. And very nice collection you have going as well. Limelight does have some really nice bowls and accessories. I like their Golden Olive and Spring Crocus bowls.

I was window shopping at epipemods and like the Gandalf Cloudy Sky Elemental they had.
Gandalf - 18500 - Cloudy Sky Elemental - 18500 - Pipes By Battery Size - Pipes
I am happy it was sold as I certainly would have sprung for it.

@YorkMan , your new pipe looks sharp. I hope you get all the setup kinks worked out. Enjoy!

An uncle of mine had a huge pipe collection and was always tootling away. He was a favorite and was also that uncle who always had very interesting stories to share. As a kid I loved looking at his collection and enjoyed the aromas of his tobaccos. I never got the itch myself but I certainly do appreciate nice looking pipes, err epipes now.

Since recently falling deep down the squonking rabbit hole I have been trying to tread carefully.
At some point there will be a pipe mod in my future. Thanks for sharing guys.
Cheers

That cloudy sky looks great!

Better trim ring was just delivered, my ePipe is starting to look finished!

 

[YorkMan]

Got the copper wire soldered in on top of the split ring, now this rig fires every time but no auto fire! One more improvement to go and it will be finished.

 

[YorkMan]

OK here is the final configuration, I really like the way it turned out. I promise no more photos of this pipe!

 

[3po5]

Really nice setup! This is a pipe I'm using now.

 

[YorkMan]

Wow that looks great!

 

[3po5]

Wow that looks great!

Thank you! Now I have finished another one. This one is made out of 3000 year old morta wood, equipped with Dvarw MTL RTA 2ml and powered by 18350 cell.

 

[jandrew]

Oh crud looks like the Vapecell batt is now of unknown quality.....

Seems Mooch has now retested the later version of the Vapcell 18350 and it comes out OK as a 9a 1000mah cell:

Bench Test Results: Vapcell 9A+10A 1100mAh 18350...almost accurately rated, looks like YDL 18350D

I run perhaps 5 amps max on my 18350s, so wasn't too worried --- still good to know I've got the headroom with these and that they are not some 3a or 4a cell underneath.

 

[YorkMan]

Great, thanks for the heads up!

 

[bask]

here is the final configuration

That is a gorgeous and unique design, YorkMan. Very cool.

Now I have finished another one.

Wow! That thing is outrageous. I’m kind of envious of people with woodworking skills.

Great work, both of you.

How does the firing mechanism work of a mech pipe?
