Just thinking out loud.
What do you guys think about an all DELRIN top cap, press fit w/ AFC??? Pros and cons please?
One major pro that I can think of is that it's gonna be CHEAP
One con I can think of is the cap wall is going to be thick for durability?
Thoughts please

I just got around to setting up my Zenith V2, in top fed mode for now. I Don't know about an all Delrin top cap but the delrin insert on the zenith makes a big difference. Little to no heat transfer to the drip tip. Also because it protrudes through to the other side of the cap a little it takes some of the space out of the vape chamber. I think that also does something for the flavor. I'm not sure what it is the flavor is awesome.

So I setup my usual dual coil 12 wrap Nichrome 80, 1/16th ID @ .4Ω. The chamber is wide and ends up being filled about 1/3 or more with cotton for top fed dripping. The coil can pop blister splatter all day long and with this design the juice splatter never makes it through the drip tip to your tongue.

So, if I were to suggest improvements for bottom feeding it would be to make the holes in the post lower, shorten them and bring down the cap height a little. Keep the Delrin insert. Keep the screw-lock AFC ring with the slotted air holes.

The short wide vape chamber puts out impressive vapor and flavor just like the Rip dude said. And you can go as hot as you want with your coils without the blistering tongue splatter.

Not really sure yet how I'm going to make this thing bottom fed. But so far I like it better than anything else I've tried to date.

My fun fact about 42: my wife and I got married on a beach in Hawaii on 10-10-10. 00101010 is 42 in decimal. I work in IT and have had a computer in my hand since 12, so it makes me pretty happy that our anniversary is binary for the answer to the universe! haha Be pretty cool if my OliveR was 42 by chance...

Cool stuff X-Puppy, was really curious how those vaped. I missed out on the Challice II. I kind of want something brass/stainless but stainless inside for my OliveR, but for now I have a cyclone and hornet to try out.

When I made the first shape (the prototype, in early stages), and was checking for and modifying "hand feel", I found myself walking around the house "spinning" it in one hand . . .. like you would with those Chinese Jingle-Spinnie Health Balls ( . . . .. sort of). :blush:

Your post reminded me of that, and I started doing it again . . . . kin'a addictive :p

There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't. ;)

Better seal that thing up before juice bricks it turbo.

.....

I do really like the dna's, especially in a bottom feeder. I put one in my woody, I built into the side on that one but I haven't finished the brass cap with the butons yet so I'm using it naked.

A few pics :)

he's only bricked 2 dnas so far with juice . . . . and every time he says, "I need to get this covered up before I kill it with juice".

To be fair, tho, he did figure out that he can wash it with distilled water and it works after it dries out.

Noted for future use, I was unaware of that. :2cool:
