Cappy,
Great idea, the cup helps to force the air at the coil in a more concentrated pattern. Thanks for the shout out and I glad you are happy with your SG3.

Ok DSU v6 is under way
Here is a couple pics, one of the new 48" lathe and the first piece of DSU6, notice the knurling YAY!!

Nice tip 'cappy', and vapor to boot. What are people cutting the top poly down to, is it .75"? I know originally it was 1".

Yeah, 0.75".

However, I didn't notice much of a difference in the vape from using the 1" top poly piece.

Ok, thanks. Did you drill a hole on the top cap?

I tried that too.

However, it made the draw to airy for me.

Too AIRY. PKZ, looking at your avatar I think I understand why you dont like "to airy".... lol! You just may be blown away....

 

[lexi60]

That's a shame.
It took me a TON of tinkering.
But lemme tell ya, once you get it right. It blows any atty or carto out of the water.
And u ain't gotta drip or refill anything for 3 days. Now finding a battery that can last what the tank does.......

Hi guys! Does anyone have a couple of extra springs that I can buy? I hate to spend $25 with McMaster for 2 springs. Please PM me if you can help.

BTW my local Ace carries the M1.6 nuts and the O-rings if anybody needs any. Be glad to get them and send to you.

Very nice Dan. I have access to that exact same lathe, circa 1952. The manual is downloadable if you need it (Logan lathe). I tinkered briefly with threading and must say that inside threading is challenging. Yours looks great.

I searched google images for Logan Lathe and got this:

Wondering where I can get one now.

Cool got a URL for the manual? I have been looking with no luck.
Did a leak test on the current parts and it passed with flying colors

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, it's looking awesome indeed! The knurling is a great addition as well. I really think you're onto something pretty amazing here.

I will have to look at the one at work again to see what info I downloaded. EDIT: I downloaded the gear change info below. I will tell you that if you open up the gear cover and clean the grease off you will most likely find a stamped metal chart for the threading gear change info. Do NOT remove this chart like I did because you can download that same info online. You can go to Logan Lathe's site and order the original manual there.

I done some 32 tpi threading with pretty good results.

On a side note....Have you had any problems with ....I used a piece of delrin in the fill hole to keep it from leaking when on it's side. With it in the upright position in the truck after the inside of the truck heated up it leaked all over the place. I think the juice heated up and increased the pressure in the tank and it wicked up and flooded until it ran out of the batt connector. Had this problem? It's 104 in TX.
