If you are keeping the hole open for a brass tube (bottom fed).
Try soldering the brass tube in the hole and then solder the wire on the tube.
I do this all the time. Finding it much easier to solder the tube in place instead of a wire.
Yet another wonderful solution that I can not use with this design. I am not working with brass tubing, my design is using a large blunt end syringe needle used for filling ink in my printer. The way I have it set up, it stays in the bottle, and comes out when you want to change your liquid. I am sure there are other ways to do this, but I found this to be a very simple way that works well, and does not seem to have any leaks so far. There is so little room to turn the bottle, I could not find a good way to leave the tube/top in the box because there is not enough room to remove the bottle and have the rest stay in place. I did try that at first, but it just did not work. Maybe if I rework where I put the switch I can allow more room for the bottle to move.
Once I get this
juice box #2 finished I will experiment with that idea and see if it helps. Will the syringe needle work the same way as the copper? Is there any concern with it making contact inside the atty/carto causing some kind of issue if it's wired up as the + ?
I really want to get outside help, but I should probably figure this thing out so I can make a bunch of them. I appreciate the offer paso, I wish I had the time to take you up on it, but I am about to be traveling for a while and won't have a return mailing address for an unknown amount of time. This seems to be the main stumbling block in this project for me, the rest is going just fine. So I should probably keep working at it, I have about 9 or 10 901 connectors left to give it a go.
I might have to eventually rethink my design, but really I should just keep trying to get this soldering thing down.
I really do appreciate all the advice everyone!!
Just to stay more on topic, when I started this thread I wanted to find out if Madvapes had any plans to eventually offer pre-wired connectors in their inventory, but I have not seen any feed back about that.
