Innokin U-can modded to Full Mechanical Hybrid Mod

[jasl90]

I really wanna see what's under yours, Jasl! How's your u-can progressing?

BTW: double 510s and a '350 battery? hmmmmmm

Was planning on getting most of it done tonight... The belt on my drill press had different plans.
So, basically out of commission until the new belt gets here.

That said, I do have my design finalized in my headand I'm 99% sure about how I'm going to do it. (Hint... It's going to involve copper pennies and magnets)

I'm kinda glad my other ucan, the one I use as advertised just started leaking from somewhere...i could try to identify the problem, but then again...

I've been donated another U-can, so a different adaptation is on its way, hoping to cut the length of the whole hybrid RSST and battery tube by another 10mm, might not seem like much, but I'm aiming for the shortest modded hybrid set-up to date.

Well now, that looks downright professional! Very nicely done.

Posts are from? . . . . .AGA?

Thanks The posts are scavenged from one of those ERA clones I got in a co-op. I tried popping the post and insulator on 2 Igo-L's to no avail then started eyeing my much loved clone and decided to give it a whirl. It worked like a charm

Here is mine all together Don't mind the angry furry thing in the background lol.

Temporary moment of stupidity lol sorry

Man I wish I had those posts...might have to buy a clone just for that
As an update, mine leaked into the battery compartment, and the battery got soaked with juice, but it was still vaping

I have intentionally tried to flood mine to leak through the post to no avail. I do need to work on my bottom contact though as I feel if I get the plain more even it will fire more consistently, but it does fire great as is. All in all for the small amount of time, labor, and cash I put into this mod I am impressed and thankful to the person that thought this up.

I have to see the natural!!

There is no way I possess the skills to perform such an involved modification. That being said, I am duly impressed with the workmanship. Absolutely brilliant idea to convert a "U Can" into an 18350 mod. If anyone is interested in selling one let me know. Alternatively, I could ship my U-Can with payment for the work to perform the conversion

Just a thought

I haven't started with my Ucan yet coz I haven't found the right materials... I guess I'll dismantle my ERA clone too.

For those looking for posts... I'm using PCB stand-offs... Drilling a through hole in the side for the wire and then grinding them down to the diameter that I want. I haven't completed assembly yet but I can post a pic of a test post I made once I get home.

No need to destroy another working RBA for posts...

True there really is no need, but you have gotta admit it looks good with actual atty posts If I had paid more than 6 bux for my clone it would still be sitting on one of my devices though lol.

This was a test... My finished posts will be a little cleaner than this but it should give a good idea of what I'm doing.

A single standoff is long enough to make two posts... I just haven't cut it in 1/2 yet.

this is sic! looks like I got a project wen mine goes to hell like most peoples did .. thanks for sharing

 

[bapgood]

I also got a u-can donated to me. I was going to just try running it as a juice tank, but since they aren't seeming to hold up I guess I will have to join in the fun.

Studio....it's a race and challenge then for the smallest u-can/rsst hybrid

I'm dying to get in on the Ucan modding fever. Just ordered one from fasttech for cheap. Hopefully, it gets here soonish. Thanks for the inspiration. Loving them all so far.

Well... Thought I had my switch done last night and had planned on getting to top deck done today... Not so much...
A trip to ACE changed my mind with regards to the switch and quick test fit of my posts has them touching the ring in the top cap...

Anyway, I did go ahead and get the switch redone and I'm loving it. Here are a few pics...
These are the 4 components broken up.

I used 3 copper pennies, ground down and soldered together to beef up the area under the battery deck to make solid contact switch post. The switch post (the part I found at ACE made me rethink the original design) is a 1/4" aluminum spacer with 8/32 threading.

I sanded and polished it to slide smoothly through a 1/4" hole in the pennies.

The spring was an extra that came w my PAPs... Perfect fit!

The battery pin is just a 8/32 brass, pan head screw, ground down low enough to keep off the battery when not firing.

Here is the assembled switch...
