Making your own 510 connection?

[wood0966]

Hi there,

I am just messing around with a 510 atomizer and I am wondering how I would go about making a connection from a battery to just a 510 atty. I don't know where to start. I have tried just placing wires onto the bottom of the atomizer and have not gotten anything. How does an atomizer work, like the electronics of it? where would I have to place wires or something to get it to work?

You can get 510 battery connectors from most suppliers or you can cannibalize a dead 510 battery for the connector. It is much easier to just but some than it is to modify a rca jack or something similar. A connector is only a couple bucks or if you have a dead battery to tear apart its essentially free.

Edit for more info:
The center portion of the atty base (where the hole is) is the positive connection and the threads of the atty make the negative connection. It really doesn't matter since atty's dont care about polarity, but for standardization that is the way they are wired. This WILL matter when you start adding regulators LEDs and other things to a mod so get in the habit of using the center post if the BATTERY connector as the positve terminal.

Electrically, an atty is just a simple heating element. Current passes through a small wire and it becomes hot. There is more to it than that technically speaking but it pretty much works the same way as the filament in a lightbulb.

I know but I want to make a connector from scratch

there is a post w/pictures floating around on just how to do that, maybe try a search for home made 510 connector.

here are a few links that can help you if you feel the need to make your own connectors.
