Need help with crazy idea

[Trox.Shawn]

Well, a long time ago when I first ventured into e-cigarettes I decided to try my hand at building my own mods; although that soon made me realize that I do not know much about building anything. So now I have five of these 510 connections that are just sitting around collecting dust. Which led me to this crazy idea, but of course I will need a lot of help from everything here that actually knows about these things to complete.

The Idea: eHooka.

I want to make an eHooka, complete with a five 510 atomizers and a way to plug it into a wall outlet (with a USB cord of course), and have a juice tank to fuel them all.

My issue is I would not know where to begin when it comes down to the wiring of the atomizers, nor would I know where to start with the juice tank. Any diagrams would be of great help with just basic wiring of the atomizers to the USB power supply. The juice tank could be developed after I actually get it woking.

the center is + and the outer is - as far as the tank you could have small tubes running of the tank to the cartrages like ive seen with other mods.

I am planning an e-hookah, but the vase part will just be to hide the standalone usb power source and maybe to store the juice bottles and extra attys for the passthroughs.
In other words, for mine I am taking the easy way out with standard passthroughs on a standard power source dressed up to look like a hookah. Although, your idea of having the attys in the vase with a single juice source has my wheels turning. If I come up with anything I will let you know. Although, from my understanding of the function of a hookah, (which may be wrong since I never used one) it warms a wad of tobacco soaked in some sort of oily substance which vaporizes and you draw off of those vapors. Sounds familiar doesn't it? If I am correct about the function of a hookah, replacing the tobacco with a wad of cart filling and soaking it in e-juice might just work as well. If you are electronically inclined, you could rig up the attys where the fire would be and turn it into a true e-hookah.

(yes, the preacher is contemplating building an e-hookah!)

I originally thought about just having a large battery supply with hoses that connected to that and have the atomizers on the tips. Where each person would have a button, and control over their own atomizer. Although I then started to think that really if I could rig a way to have all five connectors wired together so that no matter how many people are "hitting" it you would always get all five atomizers firing at the same time.

But I really have no clue how to connect the connectors together so that I do not reduce the resistance to much and just blow the atomizers.

I would try cutting the tops off the attys, clustering the 510 connectors together, and setting it up that way... Then have the juice bottle (since size is no problem, use 30-50ml) and have tubing angled so there is a tube above each atty to drip onto. This is something where it will have to be 5-6v of power to each atty to make enough vapor to feed 5 tubes with people sucking through them... Even then it may not work... Anyway, you will need one helluva switch to handle this project. Powering 5 attys is too much for a regular switch... Try a wall light switch...

My suggestion would be not to use a USB, you will not find a power source big enough to run all five, it is hard enough to find one good enough to power one. Also you will have to figure out how to regulate power to each of the 5 adapters so when only one is being used it doesn't use "all" the voltage because it would kill you and the atty and if the overall voltage is too low then all of them will not work at the same time.

 

[chev327fox]

To run all five at 5volts you would need 25volts and 10amps, and it would need to be split up between the five, 5v 2a to each one. Like I said in the last post they each would have to be regulated to that because you wouldn't want to use one at 25volts but any lower and you will not get them to hardly work.

It might be you only need 5v 10amps, I'm not really sure if the voltage splits up or not but I would think it does like the amperage but I could be wrong. It would be better to get someone in here that is good with electronics.

Well, I know that with my Double Barrel mod running on one 3.7v battery it has 3.7v going to each atty. I think it would end up being 5v 10amps that needs to be run through to the attys in question.

Honestly, I think the easiest and safest way to do an e-hookah is to have the 5 passthru's all running to a central location...

I just had a thought, what if he is going to put in a couple central attys and then have tubes just sucking out of the center like a real hooka?

Then he would only need (depending on how many attys in the center chamber, lets say three at 5volts) 5volts 6 amps and all the tupbes just suck from the central chamber after it fills up from the one switch that runs all 3 attys. Either way could work but I think the way with each hose have it own atty would work much better but it wouldn't be as much like a Hooka.

I think from the speed at which vapor is produced by an atty that a central chamber may not work quite as well, especially to produce enough for 3 people or so.

However, modding a wizard may do the trick for it.... Though that defeats the purpose of it using the 5 atty connectors the OP has laying around...

Put this in the center & fill it with e-liquid.

Connect 1 hose per 2 holes in the output.

I said (3) in the central chamber... but your right it might not produce fast enough.

Whoah, go back to the beginning there Shawn. I think you've made a mistake with the 501 attys - far too complicated and maybe you should sack them off.

As I see it, the easiest way to make what you want would be to get a Wizard, as first brought to our attention by Charged back in January.

Make a cap for it with five pipes coming out. Get rid of the switch and put a combined normally closed valve / normally open electrical switch by each mouthpiece which can be operated by thumb.

That way everybody has control, it's only on when at least one person wants it & no-one gets a mouthful of vapour when they're not expecting it.

Then obviously, paint the thing up.

What do you think?

 

[jiff]

I was thinking (for the wizard) he could cut off the tube and get a half sphere to stick on it as a central chamber. Then with tubes sticking out everywhere it would be easy for people to just suck as they please, since it produces so much it wouldn't be a problem to keep enough in there pouring out.

EDIT: No reason to mod the switch on it. Just turn it on and keep it running as long as everyone is continually vaping off it, then when you're all getting ready to stop, turn it off and clear the chamber.
