Looking for a tool to hold my attys while I build them.

[jimkipila]

I'm looking for what I thought was called a "third hand mini" but can't did it anywhere. It was a tool that had a base, a bendable arm, and a clamp at the end in which I'd use to hold my attys to rebuild them and have more sturdiness while building/rebuilding. Building on my mod has become obnoxious when I need both of my hands. Does anyone have something like this? What do you use to hold your atty while rebuilding?

I use either my little black box Ohm meter or an Atty stand I bought at a local store (looks similar to this: Atomizer Seats - 101 Vape). Both are small and are probably not what you are looking for. What you describe sounds really cool though!

I thought that would work too. I bought one. The atty just sits on it loosely. It is not held in place at all. I was a bit disappointed.

ETA: Sorry about that. Those looked just like the stand I got from FT that are not threaded. But, the website says that they ARE threaded. So, thanks for the link. That's a much better price than what I paid for mine.

I know the stand you're talking about, but for the life of me I can't recall who carries it.

I just use a threaded base or my ohmmeter, just like Btsmokincat.

This is what you're looking for: AGH - Rebuildable Holder Base

Didn't realize the ones from 101vape are not threaded. Mine is 510 threaded and holds my atty's securely.

I bet if you had some type of stand with a 510 adaptor attached you could use one of these to hold an atty while rebuilding Goose Neck 510/eGo Flexible Adapter - Avid Vaper

With some luck, taking the top cap off of a mod will provide you with an excellent building platform.

... or you could pick up a bunch of these for next to nothing https://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10007110/1579700

Be warned, tho... they don't have any 510 threading. Just a hole for the 510 protrusion thingy. I actually prefer it like that. Some don't.

A fly fishing lure vice would be perfect. Even has small rods to wrap coils around...

You're right. They say they are threaded. I shouldn't have assumed they were just like the one I had bought from FT. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the link.

I just use the beauty ring from my mvp lol, its the easiest thing I found considering I use my mvp and its going on together anyway.

 

[crxess]

Most of the time I just sit mine in my Ohm reader. It does an excellent job of keeping things in place and I can check my build with the flip of the switch.

If you scoot one of those around, you are trying to hard.

What's great about the threaded stands (and the reason I wanted one) is that you can use them as top-cap pullers. Some top-caps are held on so tightly by o-rings that I was concerned they might damage the 510 threads on my devices. A threaded stand solves the problem.

These stands are threaded and work great.

Thanks guys. That AGH base looks like it could help. But what I'm talking about is bigger. It's git a base like a microscope then at the end if the arm is a clamp to hold things. Say a magnifying glass or light. Stuff like that.

Something like this: 3.5X Magnifier with Clips?

 

[WattWick]

Not sure how well it would hold an atty, but I believe you are looking some Helping Hands

i.e http://www.harborfreight.com/jumbo-helping-hands-with-led-lights-65779.html

Hi as for a tool to hold your atty while you build it, harbor freight has this really cool tool it's like a helping hands tool it adjusts and has a light with a magnifier glass and two clips on each side that extend and will hold things in place. Pm me if your interested and I'll shoot you a pic of mine. It was only about 10 dollars. It's great for builds because the magnifier really helps you see what your doing with the coils.

 

[realsis]

Didn't read above post, the helping hands is exactly what I have. Check it out it works great!

Get a 510 connector and attach it firmly to whatever you want, I have seen one on a big round piece of wood.
