Oh all right.
The photos are pretty self explanatory - nice job.
Yet one more night spent modding though.

Nico, nice work. I'm sure there are a lot of modders who appreciate you showing the how to pic's.
How's that duel coil treating ya? Have you tried vapin it? Hows the air flow compared to a dc- carto?
Thanks for sharing. :>)

TY roadrash...the only carto I ever used was the CE2's so I cant compare...but you can make it any airflow you want by adjusting the air intake tube size. I have mine about half the ID of the mouthpiece tube...that way there is a strong air flow hitting the coil and has the pull about like a cig. If your MP tube is smaller than the intake you dont get as much intake air creating that blast on the coil. I also run the MP tube down almost touching the coil so it pulls all the vapor out immediately so it doesnt have a chance to hit the outside tube and cool and create condensation.
I just whipped that DC up and threw some wick in it for the hell of it...I'm not really going to use it..just wanted to pick some more brains!! lol

very nice nicotime, well done. Just goes to prove that a decent designed device could be built if the Zombie apocalypse was ever to happen
. Very well done indeed.
All the best,
Wing.

Awesome, From the ground up to the Roof . Windows to the walls. There is one thing for damn sure. The FDA is not going to stop this man from vaping

Again I appreciate the comments guys! 
BigBulli...I know what you mean....my casting has many improvements needed still. One problem is my resin has now reached its two year shelf life so its getting harder to keep air bubbles out. The main thing is keeping the moisture out. There are ways around that but I'm cheap! Vacuuming is the best way..I built a vacuum chamber out of an cast aluminum cooking pot and an old refrigerator pump.
A few things I forgot to note though if your actually going to make one.....
When molding the silicone divider/support plug you can mold it in the same size glass tube you are using. You want that plug to slide easily up in the tube. For a while I was using it with no divider but I found it turns all the juice dark and starts to taste nasty by the end of the tankful..I guess because it mixes with the condensation. This way the tank stays clean the same as when you fill it.
You can also find a tube of plastic or whatever and mold a whole rod of silicone..then just cut off the length you need with a razor. Dont use glass tube to do that though.....as it will bond to glass if its clean and dry and you will either break the tube or dig it out in little pieces...dont ask! Use a mold release or some cooking oil too.
Be sure to make your mod have at least a small air space all around the tube so the heat wont warp your mod...and so the tube is free to expand and contract without cracking. I made the space for the atty the same size as I made for the battery....about .1" larger in diameter than an 18650...that gives it a .050" air gap all around it to dissipate the heat. The connector keeps the atty centered in the space and the MP tube does at the top. It gets hot around the atty but stays localized within about an inch or so...also be sure the batt compartment is divided so the heat wont get to it. The first one I did I didnt do that so I added a flap of insulator material between them.
If you decide to get Pyrex tube I would get Medium wall stuff...I'm using the standard wall and you have to be more careful cleaning and removing the plugs.
This is a good site for working with the glass tube...at the very minimum you should know how to cut, flame polish and stress relieve it...none of it rocket science...and fun.

Thanks l3oertjie...how you been buddy?
One new change on the coil posts to make taking the coils in and out easier without having to use a tool to hold it open . Simply file a notch on the stationary and the spring loaded outer tube like in the pic below. Just push the spring loaded tube down and turn so it rest on the protruding flats of each part...then change the coil..and turn the tube back until it snaps down on the coil again.

AHHH! Clever idea! I like it.
All good thanks Nico - you? I see you have been a busy boy with R&D.
Really nice ideas you come up with. Keep it up!

Good to hear!!
Wife was off work for a month so I had no choice but to hide in my office/workshop and play R&D!!
Very impressive. I love coming across things like this in the forums. Even though I don't think I would do something like this myself because I don't have the time, tools, money, or patience, it's still inspiring. It's crazy the ideas that people come up with. Keep up the good work.
All I can do is bow and yield to the master. Truly awe inspiring. I've never built a mod - probably never will unless the zombie apocalypse happens and I have to - but I do resin casting and I do soldering and I know what was involved in all this. You're one dedicated and talented man.
Nico
Most excellent self made mod. This has to go down in the books. wish i knew 1/10 of what some of you experts know. Thanks for great pics and sharing.
