iAtty succesful methods !!

[lorderos33]

lorderos33 any news about your iatty improvement.?
it's so pin in a... changing the non resistif wire
i hate that,,,

Yes, good news. I got the parts I need ordered from Bruce at COV. Once they come in I'll mod the parts and if it works, I'll post pics of it. I'm hoping Imeo will like the idea and make more elegant machined pieces for production. I think it will benefit everyone with an iAtty and make them more user friendly.

I don't hate the NR wire, I just think the iAtty could use this small revision .

can give an idea what you're thinking to doing

Sure kromo, I'm thinking of feeding some small hollow stainless pins through the top delrin piece that will attach to the positive and negative connections. They will be sitting on either side of the ceramic (possibly even touching it) that the kanthal will be secured to with pins. This is for proof of concept. The final product will likely be very small spring loaded terminals so that no pins will be needed either, just push the clip, insert wire and let go.

I should end up with a very solid connection and no NR wire. There looks to be just enough room to do this under the cone and if the delrin is thick enough to do this without substantially weakening it then it should work out very nicely.


But now the surprise is ruined for everyone

That sounds awesome lorderos, very good idea

kromo, dont hate the NR wire because its the best way to make the exact resistance you want. Without it you will never have the ohms you really want

Not only you didnt ruin the surprise but you made the anticipation bigger lord! hahaha

I have a question about the SSmesh for the iAtty, do I need to oxide the whole mesh or only the part in contact with the coil? I had try burning the whole mesh but still having problems with shorts after putting the cone in place. I already give up on the ss mesh but with any hint I would give it another try.

 

[imeothanasis]

To avoid those problems you can put the wick as you already do but in the middle of the wick you can put only a small piece of mess around the wick Nandy

I hope it comes out the way I think it will. I think a lot of people will want to do the same thing if it does

I oxidize the entire mesh, and I put a small piece of the fiberglass wick between the NR wire and the mesh. This should eliminate all shorts.

Also, be sure that you heat to red and quickly quench in water at least 3 times to oxidize the mesh. I do this 5 times myself to be on the safe side and to make sure the mesh has a good non-conductive coating on it.

Hope this helps. Happy modding

despair. Today once again did a resistance lasted 1 minute, 2.4 ohms at 4.4V.
testing the lorderos method.
tried first with the mesh, you could not even after the burn with torsh. I think it was a short circuit. I put the wick and was what was.
I know it's my fault. but I'm tired: (

Did you do a dry burn for one minute? If you did no wonder your coil popped, you do a resistance check off the battery with a multimeter , hope this helps
