Posted this under the mod section but figured my fellow RN-4081 users would want to see it as well.

Been eye balling the chucks and another user that built one out of brass pipe and end caps, so I played around in the garage after work today and came up with this.



Note to future modders, USE A DRILL PRESS TO DRILL THE CONNECTOR HOLE, or it will end up crooked, like mine :(







Ugly as sin, but it works soooo good. Been hacking and coughing all evening trying to get used to the extra vapor



My boss has a metal lathe and milling machine, I may go play with it and see if I can make it smoother and prettier looking. Minus the batteries and super mini parts I already had, this build cost me 12 bucks for the brass, and 2.99 for the switch. I'm really happy with how well it does.

I think I'm going to figure out a way to put a USB end in it next, so I can plug a cable in when I'm sitting at my desk :D

This might give you an easy idea, a simple dowel with two thumbtacks, I made this for my prodigy.

Edit: Removing pictures to link back to another post where more will be displayed
