Hi Bunny, I was thinking the same thing.
Sakis, Great work, Now you can relax a little bitEven immortals need to take a break sometimes.
yes, they do,
and so do us normal peoples too
everyone needs some good sleep to refresh the body
and revive the soul ------♥ !!!!!
I was just going to say that. Imeo, please don't wear yourself out on our behalf - we need you long term, not just for instant gratification
scylla
Hi Imeo,Thank you very much edo for this reply.
I want to tell about my 2 last days, the worst in my GG life!
On thursday I gave to a friend of mine 10 Trans to make it because I hade no time. The result was that the button's hole was 2mm out of place. When I saw them I almost tried to kill him. Many people here are waiting for the Trans and I disapointed them. Today first thing in the morning I went to lathe to make 10 new GGs again. I finished 1 hour ago and I came home to assemble them. Sudenly I realise thqat my tools were in the lathe. I really get angry because I will not asseble anything on w/k.
So on Monday I will assemble them and I will send them to the guys that purchased them.
I was trying also to make the button in a way that you dont have to hold its base to secure it, so the button is better than ever.
I also look at the auto feedind system. Thnis will be finished in 10-15 days because I made some changes for better performance.
At the end I looked for the 5v solution (I dont prefer it at all) and I thought of something very simple. I made a little cylinder with 2 caps front and behind, with 2 holes in every cap. Inside I will close a little resistor and his wires will come out of the cylinder's holes. These wires will touch the negative of one pole and the positive of the other pole of the batteries. To explain it in simple words, this cylinder will go between batteries and thats it..
I was waiting the w/k for rest but NO REST AGAIN!!!
Sounds like the 'disc' idea for a drop-in, glad to see it sorted.
I'm not sure about the 'sending out to people with orders' - still no invoice from Tim for me, should we have gotten invoiced yet? The contest being 'first Transformers' and all?
Will you be able to include the disc?
Thanks...off to go strip/gut my office now, finally have a weekend, woo hoo!

I just working on this disk and I saw that the registors I found here in Greece are a little big for what we need. (10mmx20mm squared like a cube)
I had seen some small ones but they were only 1 watt. I thought they were bigger but only 1 watt. That means that soon or later it will get burned. No solution at the moment and maybe if I dont found these registors the solution is impossible. If you wegster or someone else finds something, please inform me.
Maybe edo had found something
Dont you just need two metal washers, a nylon washer sandwished between them and a rectifier diode connecting the two metal washers?

Frog, say it again slowly and cool because my English in tecnical terms are POOR
Imeo,
I too was thinking about a diode. A silicon diode has a constant voltage drop. They can hold high currents and still have a cylindrical shape.
Just as a quick example I downloaded the datasheet of the first 3 A diode I could find:
A 1N5400 diode can hold 3 ampere, has a voltage drop of 1 volt, is 4 mm in diameter and 8 mm long.
In theory you would have:
6 volts from the batteries minus the 1 volt lost in the diode = 5 volts. Atomizers have around 3.5 ohms resistance, but some have a lower resistance to give more vapor (for example the 801 sold by EastMall), like 2.7 ohms.
5 volts through 3.5 ohms give a current of 1.42 ampere.
5 volts through 2.7 ohms give a current of 1.85 ampere.
3 ampere diodes have enough margin to handle also the low resistance atomizers.
If you invert the batteries nothing happens because they can hold 30 and more volts inverse, and with 1V * 2A = 2 Watts dissipation the inside temperature will raise 30 degrees celsius. If it's a very hot day, like 40 degrees, it will reach 70 degrees that is quite OK for a semiconductor (operating temperature can be up to 150 degrees).
I hope this helps. If you need more info just ask.

Vic, please saw me the links my friend
Oh, I just got the first 3A diode I could find at random. Any 3 amperes rectifier diode will work.
I tried writing you the URL but got this reply: "You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more." Maybe the staff is a bit paranoid and afraid I might be a URRS spy!!!!
Let me see if I can work around it...
I went to www dot diodes dot com , I chose rectifier diodes and got the first 3A one I could see from their list (on second page): www dot diodes dot com/products/catalog/list.php?parent-id=7&page=1
1N5400 was the first 3A one in that list, I downloaded the data sheet in pdf format from that same list: click on acrobat symbol in first column (that links www dot diodes dot com/datasheets/ds28007.pdf)
But it's not a critical component, any 3A diode will do. Just go to an electronic shop and ask "I want a rectifier diode for 3 ampere currents".
What the?????? ummm, there pretty...but...... can you not paint one of them for me please.
xa xa Dino, I see that you dont like it at all but you are kind and you said "they are nice" 
These are the final colours for the first 10 (they are sold already). I will make a video when they are finished (thats tomorow) to see live how they look, and we spoke again

hey IMEO when I order mine I only want the clear anadiation...I grown to love the GG in its true form....if you send me the GG the way it is now I will just sand it down.

can't wait to see um', and don't get me wrong I really do think the finish look great, the application technique is fantastic, however i am very fond of the original billet aluminum look of the GG past. I do understand why you are putting the finish on and as i think about it more i can see how perhaps this may be better for me as well as i frequently work around large metal machine surfaces. But nither gold nor purple are my cup of tea, but that's just my cup. Actualy, right now my cup is orange, and it's full of coffee not tea.......oh oh can you make me an orange one?!!!
