My Pipe MOD - The Tough Brass Jr.-TS (Trigger Switched)

[bino]

I am a fan of Imeo's and his GG mods. In fact have purchased one of his GGTBs and am very satisfied with its performance. I was amazed on how his switch design worked. I always wondered if I could assemble one myself. Since I had very little tools at home, no drill, no soldering device, no adhesives, etc, I wondered if it would be possible for me to assemble one by just finding the parts bought right off the hardware store shelf. And so, I went to our local hardware store one day and searched the place for parts and here is what I have finally created.

-510 atomizer connection
-No adhesives or soldered/welded parts.
-All mechanical.
-Repairable and Recyclable (made from locally available parts in standardized sizes).
-Adjustable mechanical switch with lock.
-Spring fuse.
-Tools used: long nosed pliers, scissors, and sandpaper 400 and 2000

I call it the "Trigger Switched" Tough Brass Jr. Pipe.

I buffed the brass bushings to bring out the brass color to add some contrast to it.

Very nice job Bino.

Thanks boomer2506

That's really cool Bino and very nice work. It's fun making mods out of everything. I've had parts for another one but I've made them out of everything but the kitchen sink and it looks like you beat me to it. Great mod, My hats off to you.

Looks good.
How did you make switch and atty connector?

 

[bino]

The atty connector is a standard 901-510 adaptor from the e-cig shops, the switch is from the hardware shelf (trial and error type of fitting) composed of a bushing reducer, short coupling, hex lock nut and bolt, nipple, spring, and an acorn nut

OK.
Don't forget the vent holes.

 

[bino]

Thanks. Got it sir emus, it does have one big hole at the bottom bushing.

So you are going to sell me one right? What battery does it take?

 

[moonlessnight]

Looks great how heavy is it?

Sir, as of now it takes 2x 3.2v 16350 LiFePO4 batteries. I havent tried it on a 3.7v 17670 yet but I guess it would fit as well. I will update you when I get a hold of one...

 

[bino]

Thanks moonlessnight, I haven't weighed it yet and I will inform you on its weight without batteries as soon as I get a hold of a digital weighing scale.

Thank you for the information!

If it starts to leak, you can always call a plumber... LOL
Nice work Bino, looks great

 

[bino]

Oops sorry for the typo Col. Gaunt, it currently runs at 6.4v on a pair of AW LiFePO4 16340s alternating with a pair of generic LiFePO4 17340s and it would probably run at 3.7v on a single 17340 battery plus a false battery...

 

[bino]

BTW, I have another project under development, although I still haven't found a tube that will fit a 3.7v 14500 battery... I hope I find one...

This time I used another reducer and a snap on 510 connector instead of the previous 901 to 510 adapter in place of the threaded stainless steel nipple on top which used to keep the atomizer from wiggling...

15mm Brass pipe and fittings hold 14500 batteries.
I made this from parts I found at Bunnings (local hardware store) on Friday.
Weighs 180g vs 150g for the Provari.
All up around $15 in parts. Not bad.
