My clay pipe

[Boom]

This is a little pipe I made. I figured I'd try my hand at a step by step of my process:

Everything was purchased at either madvapes.com, Ace Hardware, or Hobby Lobby.
4 oz Sculpey Primo clay
1 leather concho
1 1/2" dowel
1 1/2" locknut
1 1/2" male copper fitting
1 18350 trustfire protected battery
1 empty battery tube
1 510 auto connector



Take the locknut, slide it on the dowel, and measure up the battery. Make a mark on the dowel.


After conditioning the clay, mold it on the dowel past the mark.

Next, trim the clay at the mark. Next slide the locknut on the dowel, and press it into the clay. Make sure it's not too deep. Throw it in the oven for a bit.

Part 2 in a few.

 

[Boom]

Part 2:

Time to make the cap:





Trim the male treads from the copper fitting. I used the handy dremel with a cutoff wheel, and attach it to the back of the concho with some trusty JB Weld

Since we've mixed up some JB Weld, we can go ahead and glue the locknut to the bowel:

 

[Boom]

Part 3:



Punch a hole in the bowl, insert the empty battery tube, and mold more clay. Time for more baking.


While it's cooking, extend the wires on the 510 auto switch. I capped the wire going to the LED.


Trim the empty battery tube, and insert the 510 auto switch. The battery tube can now be inserted and glued in place. I used an old ego-t atty to get the depth right.

 

[Boom]

Because I'm lazy, I soldered directly to the battery. It's a protected battery, so you gotta be careful.



Slap the battery in, screw on your favorite atty, tank, clearo, or whatever (Innokin Iclear-16) and vape away...

Cool.

Too much 'show' these days, it's nice to see some 'tell'.

Good Job.

The UK folks got some nice stuff not available in the US.

Seems like they could be useful for many things.

I've been wanting to do something similar with all of my left over polymer clay. Now I know how.

Thanks man.

Nice job on your build. I enjoy seeing people take what they have and turn it into something new. Did you paint the bowel?

 

[WillyB]

... Did you paint the bowel...

I think that would hurt.

Dam auto correct.
