PURE TITANIUM WITH A LITTLE 34k GOLD ATOMIZER

[Jim532]

I have now completed the first UKVA Maxi. Its machined in pure Grade 2 Titanium & the centre post & screws are stainless which I plated with 24k gold. Gold as we know is a superior electrical conductor & Titanium has a greater conductivity than stainless. This Atty needs superior current flow as it can handle up to 3 coils/wicks. More info can be found on the original thread as there is a limit to the pics I can post here http://ukvapers.org/Thread-TODAY-I-BUILT-THE-UKVA-MAXI-by-Jim532?page=14


You may notice that this one does not have the big ... o-rings behind the glass. No o-rings to be seen. It holds 4mls & the tank is a 22mm Quartz glass in frosted or clear. I have also machined tanks in pure Ti. So 3 options of which tank to fit. Tanks can be changed quickly without needing to remove your coils/wicks. Just screw off the bottom, empty, change tank, fill & screw bottom back on & good to go

BTW the title was a misprint. 24k gold not 34k lol. Perhaps a mod could edit it for me as I am unable to change the title. Or I don't know how to on this forum

Those screws look familiar...you the guy that made the COIL out of SS?

Tank looks diesel though!

 

[Jim532]

Not made a coil out of SS yet. Perhaps most other things. Titanium, Ribbon Kanthal, ribbon Nichrome ect. Love to experiment. The tanks on this atty were going to be Pyrex but that changed to Quartz by popular demand. I have another thread with the 15mm version of this Atomizer

Very well done Jim Just gone thru ur entire thread @ ukvapers and I must admit - I'm impressed.



I thus, had to repost ur pic here. Masterpiece. Now how do I have it?

 

[Jim532]

Just posted pics of the 2nd one that goes for review in the week. I will post a link to Todd's review when he has done it TODAY I BUILT THE UKVA MAXI by Jim532

Have you seen the 15mm version? TODAY I BUILT A REPAIRABLE TANK ATTY

^One word : SUPERB !

 

[Jim532]

Fitted with the Titanium tank & clear Quartz tank below. I will be making more of them for guys, but they will never be mass produced in large numbers. So they will be limited & it could be a wait to get one. Some guys even want them to add to their collection display. There is no brass on this one. If its gold coloured then its 24k, if its metal then its pure Titanium. It will last far longer than I will live.

This is simply amazing.. I think I would even take it to bed with me at night.

Jim, can the top-cap height be reduced? I mean can we shorten the overall length of this RBA to something tad smaller than the Smok-RSST (22mm x 42mm)?

 

[qorax]

Jim, u've got two threads.... which one should I follow?

 

[Jim532]

Be very difficult. The tank is 22mm height as well as diameter. That only leaves 22mm for the rest & the chamber is 12mm. That would leave 10mm. since 4mm needed for the tip that leaves 6mm. then 2mm each for the top & bottom section. That leaves 2mm. Need 7mm for the cap retention part so we are up to 48mm +22 for tank - 70mm. That's the design for maximum hit. Yes ofcourse things can be reduced, but that would effect performance. BTW I use both threads, but on the Maxi one at the moment as Todd's review link will be there

So, what's exactly the size of ur RBA, more than 42mm in height (sans the drip-tip)?

There is one on ebay but it won't go cheap

Not cheap is right - just over $300 USD. That is what I had budgeted to bid on it but I got sidetracked with my new Nemesis that just arrived and forgot (doh). When are more going to be available? I have to say, this atomizer looks fantastic!

One question - I noticed that there is only one air hole but you can set this up with dual coils. Would you be willing to drill an extra hole for the 2nd coil, or maybe include a 2nd top cap drilled as such? Thanks in advance.

I want one!

Hello
I need one
Where can I buy?
Price?
Thank you.

Excuse my delay, but been rather busy since Todd's review.

Its actually able to take 3 coils/wicks. Should I drill 3 holes? Guys who set up multi coils usually position the air hole between the coils. I can make the hole any size to suit. Yes I could make 2 holes, or even 3 but wouldn't recommend it. I do have a design that would give the option of 3 air holes which could be positioned at each coil. The holes could be blanked or regulated. There would only be one air hole of about 1.5mm to be seen on the exterior of the top cap. The design is in my mind. No doubt it would work just fine. But the additional work involved would push up the price. The basic Atty without a Ti tip & only one tank would cost £150 ($228USD). Then the tip would cost another £15 ($23USD). Considering the materials that I am using & the hours put into each one, this is not a profitable venture for me. Hence why very few would hand make attys to that standard using those materials. I have a passion for creating them.
Keep an eye on the thread on UKV for developments. There will no doubt be a wait as you can imagine the demand. But I will build them as long as guys are waiting on one. BTW, the one on ebay is on its way to Australia. So there is now 2 in UK & one in Australia. None yet in USA, but I have a feeling there will be. TODAY I BUILT THE UKVA MAXI by Jim532

Honestly, I have never run dual coils so I am not speaking from experience. However, it would seem to make sense if you were running dual coils to have two air holes positioned right in line with your wicks - maybe I am missing something, but wouldn't having air holes positioned between the wicks cause increased throat hit and decreased vapor?

Either way, I am going to keep an eye out and try to get one of these beauties - great work, my friend!

I will try to give you a better insight, although the best insight would be to hand you one loaded with your fav juice.

This is a 22mm Atty which is not a common build. Watch Todd's review. The reason it doesn't need an air hole right next to each coil is because this 22mm Atty has a 15mm diameter chamber. When you fire twin or triple coils in this diameter chamber there is no gap in the vapour between the coils. The theory was tested on a Perspex top, then an Aluminium top prior to committing to a pure Titanium build,

A single coil is more than enough for most. But the twin or triple option is there for the adventurous. The holes are also positioned to allow a U wick to run past the centre post rather than need to go over it. It is the same hole layout design as in the 15mm version.
The 15mm version has a 12mm chamber. The design was discussed at length by vapors in UK & USA, & several changes were made. Then I built several Attys in Aluminium & sent to testers in UK & USA. You would find much difficulty trying to find a 15mm version in the classifieds & not a hope of the 22mm version being sold by their owners. Therefore its down to me to build as many as I can for guys. So its inevitable there will be a wait as there are a few waiting to get hold of one. I haven't started a list as such.

The reality is that I don't commit full time to building them. Why? = It pays me well under the minimum wage. I would earn more washing dishes. Bear in mind the cost of the top class materials + the expensive tools that Titanium eats. Then the many hours that each build takes. There is a demand for hand built Attys, even more of a demand if they are built in top class materials. If there was profit to be made then I wouldn't be one of the very few building them. I have a passion to create them for the collectors & those that want the best. I will keep on building them as long as guys are waiting on one. I will also build a matching mod. Yes also in pure Ti.
