i cant find a bulli anywhere, orlly? brokeness and scarcity lead to this

[urquidezj]

So I been trying to find a bulli a2 at a decent price or just find one period LOL. Researching and researching, polish forum, Russian forum, every forum, I ended up making this. It was the most frustrating thing i have made to date. But its worth it in the end. It's a total knock off, I used info from the Russian and polish forum and pics of bullis. I will use it only as a dripper but might order the stuff to use carts. I uses a headphones jack from rad shack, gutted it, drilled it through. Made a ss piece pressed onto threaded side of jack, drilled the holes equal distance and drilled the back side to accept a 306 atty connector I extracted from a burnt one i had. My last one out of 4 attys I ever bought. Made the brass posts and tapped them at 0-80. Insulated the positive pressed that in along with the negative. Pressed connector and soldered positive to positive. I test fired it and it worked but haven't built a wick. Gonna find a good setup for dripping. I made a posts a little taller than a normal bully so the wick can have some "feet" to pick up juice. Delrin drip tip is ugly but I just built it for now. Here are some pics.

Next to smaller version (thanks meatsneakers for the help)

Comments welcome and thanks to those who helped me. Will report on how it performs.

Beautiful work. Knockoff or not, it looks just as nice!

Ss wick installed four wraps on coil, Vapes like a monster!

Wow that looks amazing. I own a bulli myself and this looks just as nice ! Maybe make a tutorial

 

[urquidezj]

lathe was involved so tutorial would be restricted to lathe owners/operators I would think

[dogpound9219]

you gotta make a how to for this man it looks awesome!

 

[urquidezj]

I will if you have a lathe

 

[REET_AZ]

It would be awesome if you would share the step by step directions. I do not have a lathe, but most certainly arrange to have that part done by a shop. Your mod is really spectacular, and I would love to try it. The look satisfies the steam punk girl in me

awsome job very nice on both, im sooo jealous, i wished i was able to make something so nice

 

[JacobDaniel]

Vary nice job, I wish I would have been into this when my dad had access to CNC, I would have drawn up some stuff, lol

 

[urquidezj]

I'm having problems with it, it leaks a lot, so for now this is a fail. It works great but leaks into the connector are No good, need to pull apart and figure out a way to seal it

 

[JacobDaniel]

ohh yea I forgot to ask, what adapter did you get, I haven't seen a silver one around here.
Too bad about it leaking, im sure its a simple fix though.

 

[urquidezj]

Ah I don't remember the part number bit i found em at radio shack. There where gold ones and silver ones, don't like anything gold, wish I could find black ones.

 

[JacobDaniel]

Thanks, i'll have to check it out more. I dont like gold myself and it looks odd on my silver prodigy, lol

 

[urquidezj]

Ya doesn't match at all, although i must tell you, they do kinda look brassish No matter what. I need to make em outta stainless, during Christmas ill have access to a lathe with threading so i will be making one out of ss all ss including connection. Will post it when finished.

 

[urquidezj]

Took apart cleaned it added a bit of gorilla glue to the positive post let's see if that helps, went with a silica wick this time and wrapped it at three coils, hits good as you can see on vid

Looking good U, my Bulli A-2 was leaking, Cetin told me to make sure the positive screw was tight and to clip off wick at screws. Too much wick = leaking. Also to glue is necessary like you did.
