First Mod, Wooden Bottom feeder.

[FaceT1me]

This is mi first mod attempt.

So far its actually working out pretty good. hopefully should have it complete before the end of the weekend.

Rough box Glued together

AFter A lot of sanding starting to look decent. Still a little gap in the door that I can't get rid off.

Not sure if I am just gonna leave the door like this press fit or figure out some sort of magnets for it. But for now I still have a lot of sanding to do.

looking good thus far man keep us updated

Did a little more Sanding and stained the wood.

If the new button comes in today will mock up the button and start sealing the wood.

It's looking awesome dude! Always wanted to make a box mod, just don't have the courage.... or skillz.

Ended up Switching up the design, as there was a conflict between the switch and the 510 connector. here is the final product.

Its a little bigger than i wanted it to be, but I figured I can try and miniaturize it on the next try.

Nice job looks good.

Hopefully tonight I will mod my nimbus dripper clone to work a d a Bottom feeder rda to really test this thing out.

Good luck with that. Let us know how it works. I have a cheep dripper I'd like to try that with.

Worked perfect.
Pushed out the center min and made small cut down the length of the insulator. now my Nimbus clone is working great on the bottom feeder.

 

[Muggs]

Great work I really dig that setup. That drip tip is the one.

Great job

Makes me want to try... But fairly certain i couldn't achieve that kind of result.

 

[FaceT1me]

Its really not that hard, just takes a little time and trial and error.

 

[FaceT1me]

And now this setup is just perfect.
28G 10 twist micro-coil with some cotton on a bottom feeder is the best thing I have tried yet.

Very nice work. I'm curious...how hard was it pushing the pin out of the Nimbus? I tried that on my IGO-L and couldn't budge it...maybe I should have pushed harder...

 

[FaceT1me]

Pretty simple, put the atomizer on top of a socked to the threads not dont touch something and get damaged. I used a small wooden dowel and a hammer to press the pin out it came out after 2 light taps. As far as the insulator goes, I used a drill bit that was larger than insulator but smaller than the metal hole and did the same procedure as the center pin.

 

[Tinker Ray]

ah yes...hadn't considered the hammer...I forget that even though these parts are small, they are rugged. Thanks

Any suggestions on a drip cup or something to put over the 510 connector to give the mod a more finished look and protect the wood. Something that will still fit the nimbus.

i like the idea of a bottom fed mod ... thanks for the pictures ... going to see about building one myself .. the RDA was my biggest issue .. as i do not like carto's all that much.
