New Atomizer Prototype

I have found that I can use my PH(-) chem for the hot tub to condition the ends of the nichrome. I was then able to solder using silver solder.
exactly.
It is essentially an acid. I couldn't get the wire to solder at all! worse thing I have ever tried to solder, so I tried to find some acid at the house and tried that. I did get that thing to solder to some copper wire-with silver solder.
Thanks jacko. I'm no electronics expert, but I do have a fair understanding of how an atomizer works, and the general workings of an ecig (flow of fluid through the atty, effect of differing voltages to an atty, etc...). After spending about an hour chatting with the rep and explaining the current nichrome heating coil, the temps that have been taken of the active coils, the purpose of the heater, and giving him measurements of an M401 and a BE112 (801) atomizer, he seemed to think it wouldn't be a problem with 3.7V that we are using, and agreed that the biggest issue was the cost difference. He, of course, was quick to point out other benefits of his devices over the nichrome coil.
If someone can provide me with a link, I would love to educate myself why these wouldn't work. As far as I can see, the cost is the only factor, and they may even be plug and play replacements. Now I'm thinking I may get a few and experiment after all. Nothing like someone telling me I can't do something without backing it up with facts to get me to try....
I seem to remember that several folks told Carlos he would never be able to build an 801 atty from scratch, but that happened.
Thanks for the motivation, RoadKill. I have 20 samples on the way now from a similar manufacturer in China. I'll post a thread if I have any luck.

Damn - you mean I have to go buy a hot tub to do all this modding??!?!?
Sure.... it gives you a great excuse.
I hate it how my projects lead to new projects.

And now I'm tempted to take it one step further.

im an appliance repair man and i get tranformers all the time looks like im gonna be making a spot welder
HEHEHE I have a old microwave in the attic... now I know what to do with it (Evil Laugh) Mhaahahahahaha

BEFORE you do Dan, put a old CD in it (with a cup of water to slow the 'show' down) and turn it on, just trust me
LOL Have done that before, wonderful light show in the dark!BEFORE you do Dan, put a old CD in it (with a cup of water to slow the 'show' down) and turn it on, just trust me
zappp... zaaapapappappppaaaaa.... zap!
hehehehe

i had a fluorescent light tester once that was cool don't know what happened to it but i herd you can tap the ends of 1 and it would light up.
Has anyone talked to a neon glass blower??? They work with glass and electrodes all the time. You can buy electrodes from suppliers in almost any state, they ship to the others... Pioneer supply is one on the east coast. Goggle sign suppliers for a BIG list.
I think if you start bigger, you could find what works and then miniaturize it.

I definitely haven't talked to a glass blower. My only option is homebrew, at least until a solid working prototype comes along. I would love to have professional-blown glass atomizers though.. *drools*
This guy has a cool article on blowing filament lamps though, and a bunch of other cool glassworking stuff. I've been trying out some of his stuff in a really ghetto fashion.
