My bottom fed repairable atty!

[SammyT]

Just finished modding this. It feeds well from bottom. Big thanks to meatsneakers who provided a very detailed walkthrough on this. It has some Cisco spec parts in it. Steel wool from 357, 1.5 ohm coil from 357 (dont have my kanthal or wick yet) wick from 357, the little plastic piece that goes on the bottom of Cisco atties on top of the connector is in there too. This is hitting pretty well and feeding well, but it takes some airflow adjustments to get working well.
Sorry for the bad pictures, this takes a 510 drip tip.

Dang, you made that yourself? Congrats, your the first REOnaut to make their own rebuildable atty!! That takes some major skills. I'm sure once you get the air flow the way that you want it then it will be working excellently.

Thanks washvap, It was not as easy as it looked but totally worth it!

looks great way to go

I'm sure it isn't and sounds like it took a little bit of time before you finished it. Really did a good job though. Looks like you bought it from a vendor or something. Anyways, no problem.

This thing is a whole different animal than most atties I have used, the TH is AMAZING, but it floods easily. Of course once I get more experience juicing it things will be better. I would like to try and add a ceramic cup to it, I tried but the 306 type Cisco cups are tough to get the posts through. I will probably buy a joye 510 and steal the cup from it.

That's the beauty of rebuildable atties. You can choose the ohms of it with the resistance of the wire. Also the amount of wraps around the wick as well. I'm sure you'll get the feeding technique down pretty quickly.

The ceramic cup will definitely help with how much juice the atty can hold. You can get a ceramic cup from a CE2. That will be a lot easier and a lot more cost efficient.

EDIT: Or clearo, fluxomizer depending on the size your going for.

Congratulations on that accomplishment! A 357 thats rebuildable. I have a 357 but haven't ventured there yet.

 

[SammyT]

Thanks Rocket, I wouldn't reccomend anyone try it that is not good with a soldering iron. But anyone who is decent with a soldering iron, has helping hands, and has a multimeter and basic understanding of electronics can do it. I tried to get helping hands today at radio shack and they had sold out and it was a PITA to make the joints without it.

@ washvap: how do the clearo and ce2 ceramic cups compare in size to a 510, that sounds like a good route but I have never even seen one before in person

awesome job there. im using 357s now and love them but have killed a couple during cleaning? got a dead one sitting in front of me taunting me,lol

 

[par292]

omg that is my dream atty a rebuildable bottom fed atty, congrats, now maybe somebody can put up a tutorial, so maybe i can figure it out

 

[SammyT]

It works real well with my pipe stem

-Sam

The clearo is going to be much larger. The CE2 is about the same in size. The difference is that the 510 is square while the CE2 is round. So, it's going to be a little wider. It also has a stem at the end of it. Which will result in you having to cut it off.

Woa...I bow down to you, Mr. Sam T....
I have some vacation time this summer- would be glad to come down to Auburn, and help you build these!
I would gladly pay you for one, personally!!! Can I be your beta tester?

Just curious- did you do the needle eyes or did you install screws for the wire?
I'm really, really, really wanting a rebuilt atty!! Also, on Meatsneaker's post, it seemed the wire was way high for juice to get to from a bottom feed- did you lower it some? I'm just curious how/what you did!!

 

[SammyT]

Thanks TennDave! rob is going to be building atties soon so I sure wouldn't want to step on any toes. I used sewing needles, as the screw posts would be great for a top feeder, but there would be no way to connect the screw post to the center post of the atty connector without completely sealing the post off with solder. The sewing needles work fine though, and you would be surprised just how high juice gets when you draw on an atty. I do let it hang kinda low though.

[SammyT]

Thanks misplaced sooner! There is a step by step on the atomizer mods section of the modding forum on ECF.

[misplacedsooner]

ill leave the making to you guys, i dont know alot about electronics so im stuck as a buyer.

Step on my toes buddy The only reason I plan to build a rebuild able atomizer for my mods is no one has done it right imo if someone beats me to it I think that is great. I would buy one tip my hat and be happy to keep shucking mods
