My goodness it`s 2:00 a.m. I`ve been shaping this box for hours!!! Hope to have wet sanded tomorrow.

Dreams and Chains, I`m not cursing you for the horn button yet, just wishing I would have looked over your album a little better. I ended up mounting it @ probably a 45 degree angle out of the corner. I imagine I`ll get used to it. Really, really like the idea of the corner mount though, and forming the box wasn`t as bad as I thought.

I`m starting to think that just maybe I can make something presentable:thumbs:

Nicotime.... thank you about the spring (in wiper motor) caution. That's why I actually ended up robbing ConnMan of some springs out of his mod box.... perfect for replacing the brush springs.

Circumspice .... when you find the Chrysler engineer.... PM me..... :evil:

Actually I very much love my Chrysler..... and have driven and worked on Chryslers for years..... BUT..... the engineering sucks.... no other way to put it. Like the wiper assembly.... created to set in an area that easily collects water.... thus.... wiper motor sets in water..... rots...... and here I am..... wiperless in Florida Thunderstorms.

zbasspro....... do you mean something like this happened....?.......

I have a bunch of them in the process here.... and this one that insisted on going it's own direction...... :(.... I even saw it before it dried.... I wrestled with it..... got it straight......... but Nooooooooooooo...... it was determined on choosing it's own path in Life.

Any Left handed vapers out there? LoL!

And zbasspro...... isn't the shaping of the box therapeutic?! Just makes ya feel good! And wait til you see the mod that results from it!

The slight rounding off of the corners and edges on the "AA" boxes cannot be encouraged enough...... try it people!...... such a small difference to make such a huge difference in the hand and comfort you did not realize was lacking terribly.

So good to see people making these or knowing they will when they can!
 
dreams n chains No it points diagonally out of the corner, if that makes sense? Where as your button seems to be slightly more on the side of the box, mine points just a little more toward the top. I wish I had a camera, mine just took a crap on me, but I may try my iphone, I`ve just never had much luck with it. I also want to learn to text my pictures the way you do. But as far as left to right, it`s perfect.

I`ve found that a high speed dremel cutter just makes it so easy, and was less aggressive than I thought it`d be, and yes, therapeutic. I put on a pot of coffee, and was vaping, posting, contouring til the wee hours. The cutter tends to actually cut and not melt and burr up so bad.

I`m looking into a way to eliminate the aquarium tubing, do you see a problem with the volume of that tubing in any way? Like Nico I believe shortest, and smallest diameter tubing would probably be best, but maybe the aquarium tubing allows for air/liquid transfer and additional liquid reservoir closer to the cart? In fact the more I sit here and think about it, it probably is beneficial, if you experimented in this area please share.

Thanks again

No.... sorry.... I have not tried any other tubing there either. After about two or so months, it started to leak around the tubing and the o-rings on the brass when the bottle was squeezed. So I would recommend a monthly change perhaps.

It really is leak free and works perfectly so that is why I have not experimented with other tubing or set-ups.

You know the old saying..... if it aint broke, don't fix it! :thumb:

EDIT TO ADD:
I just want to add in here.... The bottle barely needs to be squeezed to inject liquid into the atomizer on these mods.

That`s good enough for me, I`ll stick with the original design. Thanks

:ohmy: OMG!!! I spent $334.04 at Harbor Freight last night!!! :shock:

I'm preparing to start modding and decided to start assembling the tools and equipment that I will need.

I got the suction cup mounted tilt vise.
I got the helping hand with magnifier.
I got a bunch of rotary tool bits.
I got a mini drill & rasp set.
I got a precision knife set.
I got organizer drawer boxes for tools and parts.

Then I saw other tools...

I got the 10 pc SAE 6pt color deep well socket set.
I got the 10 pc SAE 6pt color standard depth socket set.
I got a battery float charger.
I got a 4 foot level, a torpedo level & a post level.
I got a 24" square.

Then I saw the lawn and garden section...

I got a hammock with frame.
I got a 6 foot bistro umbrella.
I got a drip irrigation set.
I got 2 tarps.
plus lots of other miscellaneous lawn & garden tools...

When I started seriously considering buying a concrete mixer, I had to get out of there! (I NEED a concrete mixer!)

I have so many ongoing projects, I don't even know where to start.

I also drive a Chrysler product, a Dodge Ram conversion van. I have continual problems with the wiper linkage. The nylon bushings keep popping out or wearing out. I've had the linkage fall apart on me 3 times in the last year, always during a severe thunderstorm, while I'm on the road... It's maddening! I've used OEM bushings and after market bushings. The OEM are only marginally better than the after market ones. I think it's just poor design. We won't even go into how difficult it is to do common scheduled maintenance, because of the dang doghouse! If I didn't love my van so much, I'd hate it! :p

So, if I find a Chrysler engineer, I'll save some of him to send to you...

zbasspro... thank you.... you reminded me of some pics I've been wanting to take and post. The most simple and yet needed pics I should have put up long ago. How the Nico-Drips work and why the brass adapters are there. Duh me!

In my upcoming Nico V1 thread I already have the pics.... but not any on how it works. Will do...... finally.


:ohmy: OMG!!! I spent $334.04 at Harbor Freight last night!!! :shock:

(snip)

Uh....... I almost hate to say it...... you forgot neat little diamond plated files?
:unsure:

Oh.... and do you live close by me.... I hope!?! (/borrow-borrow) :p

New Chrysler wiper motor = $90.oo
Missed time from work = $75.oo+
Time to put motor into horribly designed assembly = $100.oo+


some of a highly paid Chrysler Engineer sent to you = PRICELESS!

:lol:

Nah, I didn't forget them... I already have them, along with a battery tester, digital & manual calipers, a pick set, a scribe set, a mini pliers set, a vast array of glues & polishing compounds and too many other items essential to jewelry making to even try to list. I'm a natural born 'tinkerer', which made it easy to become a mechanic, an electronics tech (looong ago!) and a jewelry maker. I'm at my happiest when working with my hands. (you hear that Chrysler engineer? Bwahahaha!)

Oh! have you ever tried to repair busted wiper linkage in a severe thunderstorm because you can't continue your trip without wipers? Picture how you need to get to the linkage on a 15 year old Dodge Ram van. You have to remove the wiper arm assemblies first, then you have to remove the grill just above the little hood... all in a downpour, out on the road... (for me, usually after dark...) After that, then you open the hood and get to work and hope you can cobble it together well enough to get to your destination or a better place in which to work on the dang thing! Ah! The joys of being a mechanic!

Dreams - I love your exploded diagram of the Chrysler Nico-Drip V2!!! That says it all! :lol:

:blink:

People..... these Nico-Drip mod how-tos may test your time and patience but it is all here for you to see. Nothing hidden, nothing exaggerated, nothing for me to gain or lose by doing them.

And very much appreciated! I haven`t had time to get back to mine yet......that`s a lie. I keep getting stuck on this forum! But I actually am happy with it, and will set aside a day to finish it up, and then post pics.

HUH!!..Can you get an 18650 in that??:unsure:




:unsure: That sounds like a challenge to me. :blink:

And I shall accept this challenge but it will be slow going since my plate is full at the moment.

Did you hear I got a Carlos JB now? And I just had to mod it already. :oops:

Oh and I almost forgot. Check my new signature bar. :banana:
