From the second pic it looks like you have a "hot spot" between your post and coil. Does it still fire all coils? Looks like you may need to put the post closer to the coil itself.

Still working on it, going to shorten cap and other things as well. Just wanted to test it first.

items used

2 jacks
2 safety pins
510 connection
ceramic cup from atty
solder
solder flux (makes it stick better)

ceramic cup from atty

if you cut off end first, (pointy end) it will fall apart easy.

pulled apart, to show ceramic cup between two end caps.

make sure to put tubing around safety pins so it doesnt ground out.
when making, start from bottom up.
making sure safety pins fit threw ceramic cup holes, ( i got assorted ones).
keep pins long till you finish. you can trim after.
hope this helps.
remember, solder good, so no leaks.

How do you fill it with the bottom part all soldered together and where do you put the ceramic cup from atty? Or is the theaded part soldered to the bottom section.... if not, how is it held on?

Drill hole at top & use rubber plug. Refill made easy
The cup goes between both threaded caps. Pressed.
Its tight fix so makes it for no leak.
I'll post pic in next post.

Thanks, that helps.... I am sure I will have more questions unless your other pic's answer them.

[Deadite]

Where did you get the stereo jacks?

 

[notsmoking]

Looks like the ones from a 510 atty, definitely not CE2

Nice work! Very compact and good-looking atty.

A few concerns though: do you know what material the jack itself is? Might not be safe for food consumption: most of those jacks are some type of nickel/zinc alloy or nickle/zinc plated over copper which I do not believe is entirely food safe.

Also, did you make sure you used lead-free solder?

Cheers, and mod safely.
