This one is dedicated to all modders in this forum, for all the hundreds of ideas and the support.
This is my most polished design yet thanks to all of you.


I have no idea why the video shows under my avatar lol.

Ok, that looks insanely useful. I might have to throw the spiny arm option on my next mod. I'm thinking more along the lines of an oldschool BNC network connector rather than an RCA though so you get a little spiny lock so your atty can't fall off a worn connector though.

EDIT: Oh, and FANTASTIC VIDEO!

Good idea the BNC.

Maybe warp used something like that (not an RCA).

I'll have to try it. The fear is the BNC might be *too* spinny. There's really no friction grip aspect built in like the absolutely perfect RCA, and there might not be an elegant way to create just the right amount of friction in the connector that would be permanent and not work itself loose eventually. Woot. Connector hunt. : ) This is going to be fun.

Great vid warp ! Whimsical and stylish.

Good design too :)

(I might have missed the bit about the button though).

Oh, and you forgot to mention the Janty Something ;)

You seem to make a new VP every day!

Thank you kina, the button meaning you can basically twist the thing to any position you can imagine, either you like a top button, on the end like an SD, on the sides, atty on top, atty bellow, inclined like some of ZiMoshi's, etc.

It is really comfortable to use, if you get tired of one position, you just twist the atty and use other fingers for the switch.
You might be right about the BNC, not so familiar with it, but if it fits the size for adapters and cables...why not.
I doubt the RCA's will ever wear out, i use them every day in audio applications plugging them in and out for years and never had one fail. Only time will tell ;)

Thanks, it was a lot of fun doing the vid :D

One can also consider the joints used on things like electric screwdrivers whereby the angle of the connecto allows a straight tool or a gun-like shape, if you see what i mean. They have ball-bearings inside (?) for a snap into position effect.

You are probably right. Just in case though, have some connector-gasm:

OMFG, those flexible whips would ROCK. You could literally put your atomizer anywhere you wanted. One of these:

Smooth! :cool: What IS the battery holder? I think I'm gonna make one of these.
I ought to pay up some kind of royalty...

Also, I know where to get RCAs, other than ripping open a ~$20 battery, is there some source for connectors?
