Juice Attachment Mod

[jburns3]

I first posted this in the Atomizer mod section but I dont think it belongs there
I originally wanted the GG AVS system but it was out of stock so I made this instead.
Its working really well. Here are some photos

Very precise attention to detail. JB, this has a sinister device look to it. Is the bottom cap done the same way or is it just brass sheet brazed to the tube? On your 1st one, is that aluminum on the top and bottom?

This is very nice jburns. I made my phidius woody kinda similar with the brass tubing coming out the side. It works great but leaked just a tad. i am working on that. but what i liked about the top feeder was one short press of the button and the perfect amount of juice went right on top of the wick. anyway back to you very nicely done.
2 questions.... that piece that looks like a horseshoe did you bend that or it came that way. and how you connect the brass tube to the mod tube?
Again i think you did a great job. you gave me some good ideas i can use Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone
Asdaq, the bottom is just the sheet brass brazed to the tube and the top is the only opening. The caps I used for the first one were made out of steel that was chrome plated and they would slide off the tube a lot so thats why a made another.

cos, I made the horseshoe bracket out of 3/16 brass rod that I filed the sides flat so using square brass stock would make more sense (but round rod was all I had around). I used a broom stick to bend it around. The brass tube is 1/16 so I drilled the same size hole in the brass top cap then heated the 1/16 tube and used it to make the hole the right size in the plastic bottle cap. It will just melt it the correct size. I kept it on its side all day on my bench, then in my pocket for a while and so far no leaks. The horseshoe bracket works great with my GG, I screw the telescope sections down on the bracket so it clamps it nicely. I tried it on another tube style mod, it works but it wants to move a bit. Maybe I can find a better way to attach it if I am using another mod.

Very smooth. I used a broomstick with sandpaper to shape a finger hole once, worked great. Maybe have 2 or even 3 brackets for added stability on other mods, and have a "juice parasite"

Multiple brackets would do the trick and look really cool too. great idea. I have been reading the tube juice feeding thread (it is a long read) cant wait to give that a shot

Beautiful work jburns... Now I have to learn how to braze...
Any good links on simple how to's? Will just a propane torch work?

 

[jburns3]

For this I used a propane torch and a silver solder (stay-bright made by harris) the bracket joint seems to be holding just fine.
Im lucky, I run a musical instrument repair shop mostly doing stringed instruments but the other guy does alot of brass instrument repair and has a few different torches and a lot of dead flutes I cant wait to use for parts. But anyway a propane torch works fine and is less than 20 bucks.

Cool - so I just have to find some silver solder and go from there... (That and try not to burn down the house.. My wife would get cranky...)
Thanks!
