LOL, yeah a mini.
Would be ego specific:
Body total length would be 1.8", dia 5/8"
It would hold approx 2ml

Actually it would probably be heaver than the one you have, if it was made out of SS
Since the one you have is aluminum, it is actually lite compared to the SS version.

Make sure to let us know how it stands up to heat. I already have a request in to a local plastics company to see how much they would charge to produce these as they would be light weight and hopefully cheaper to get...
Also does anybody have any input into what type of plastic may be a better fit or if Delrin is pretty much the best choice because if it's ease of machining?
Dan how does your DSU compare with the Scubagen3 in daily use? It looks like the parts for that would be much easier to make. Looks like another good Delrin candidate =]
Your correct robert, the v1 was delrin. I had no problems with heat as the coil was about 1/4" above the deck as it were.
@bstedh The DSU works wonderfully, I would say not as much throat hit and the scuba, and it is a much cooler vape as compared to the scuba which is quite warm. I would like to try another version of the DSU v4 that uses not so many extensions... IE
Only 2 metal pieces, the top:
And the bottom:
Now I set this up with the concept of filling from the bottom so when the unit is filled, the juice does not flood the coil area due to no negitive air pressure. There are 4 total pieces minus the drip tip. The outer tube and the inner tube. Of course I would like to get some poly rod stock so I clould turn down so the rod to stair step like the tornado does.
Well it is a concept in progress.

The DSU should be called the SCUVA

LOL I like it!
So it is a SCUVAGENv4

Thanks all - esp. Dan for the great ideas!
Here's in the 18650 box.
Vapor blows out the autofocus, but you get the idea... and it's burning way too hot!
Still trying to balance and trying different coils, ohms, and volts - It's way too hot for my liking. I must admit, there’s a temptation to try out the DSU too!
Wood lathe.... I can only get down to about 200rpm so I'm sticking to the softer stuff.
It is soft... thankfully, it doesn't melt the same!
5/8" on the base- same as the MAP...

I like the smaller tanks too - more unobtrusive...

LOL that is why I should not release info until I have actually built it and tested it LOL
Man give me some time to develope

Looking GOOD!
About 2.0ohms for 3.7 is good, around 3-4 wraps with 32AWG Kanthal works for me.
DSU has a few more pieces to it, that is why I am gonna try v4. Fewer pieces to maintain and cheaper price point with only two metal parts.
How are the rounded washers working to hold the kanthal?
Nice set up!
Dan
Delrin seems to do fine with the heat - don't recommend long 'burns' like in my previous photo though.
I just got some polycarb and a lexan rod - it's supposed to be hard to work though. I'll let you know when I get a chance to work it.
I started at 36g 3 and 4 wraps, dropped to 34g 4 wraps (thats the flamer at 4V), so next stop is 32g. I also went from the standard width of mesh to a larger 1.25 fat roll didnt affect it much.
The washers work pretty well, but take some work. The nichrome can slip more easily than with the beveled nuts. I used a small, rounded copper hammer to get the convex shape -man, those little boogars will squirt right across the garage!. I needed the extra overhead above the spring due to the bolt mount of the electrical I probably could have used one bolt, but the 30ga lead wires dont get as much contact when just trapped against the delrin. Soldering a lead to a washer or making a locking washer to grip the wire may work and give some extra space.
Thanks Dan.
for those washers.....could probably find/make something similar/cheaper...
...a machine shop and a scrap block of steel....?

Was sitting here trying to figure out why you are running so hot.... The only thing I see is that you are not at 32g Kanthal.... (yet)

Sorry Dan, I wasn't meaning to be pushy. I missed your last co-op and I was just expressing that I would rather not miss this one if it comes to fruition.
LOL I know I was just giving you crap
No harm no foul.
Dan
No time to waste...Ship them out quick quick!!! We need vape now(in caveman voice)!!!! There is no QA or R&D here!
Just teasing.
