Selfmade "Big" Genisis Style Atomizer HowTo


..i want to show you the "making of" my Atomizer i use at my Copper Tube MOD and the VV MOD Copper-Tube :
but at first...sorry for the bad english, i try to give my best...
I had the idea to build a "Big" atomizer wit "normal" things i can by "offline", cause not everybody has the luck just to go downstairs to the lathe as myself.



the following parts are used:



For soldering i use a special Silver-Solder-Paste (lead-free ...sorry, don´t know the english name for it...)


First step is to put 6 washers (5x13) together, holded with with a screw M5 srew.
...the closer the better the final will fit.
i use shrinkable tubing to fit the 5,3mm exactly to the M5 screw.
these "smaller" washers are used as Nuts for the O-rings.
I have to "file" down to 14,5mm for my 20/18 acryl-tube.



therefore i lay a cheap on the table,pressing the washers on it while drillig...


It is absolutely positive for your mind when you sweep away the tiny pile of brass shavings that are on the table after 5 minutes to see that tere is REALLY a progress :)
( ... to front and back...front and back...front... :) )

180 Sandpaper:

polish:






and because it was such a wonderful game the same procedure with 8 pieces of from 6,4x18 washers down to 17mm:

( ... to front and back...front and back...front... :) )

...on left the result, right side the waste



come on...lets go on:
The smaller washers are drilled out to 6mm inside ...



and soldered together:
put on one of the "threaded bushings" one Big, 2 small, 1 Big, 1 small.
(the small washers have now exact 6mm inside to press-fit)
the "threaded bushings" i use only to become a fine, long 4mm Hole for the 4mm Brass-Tube.
If you use 6mm Brass Tube there is no need for these 2 Parts...


for pressure between the parts (...and cool fingers...) i use this "construction":

looks really mad after the "solder orgy" :)



but a little steel wool and everything is fine again:



Drill with 4mm, 9,5mm at the other side for the 510 from the old Clearo:



did look fine after pressing in, didnt it?



Now the Top Part:
put together, after solder paste between all parts
(thick,thin,thin,thick,thin)






after soldering:



polished:



a little 2,5mm drill in the lower part ~1mm deep holds the SS in place.
In the Top part the following holes:
2mm for SS, as near as possible to the middle,
1,5 mm (M2) for "Kanthal-Hoder" (-), as near as possible to the 2mm for SS,
2,5mm (M3) for the filling Hole...



Put the 4mm Tube in and solder:
The Silver-solder-Paste only in the inner part, we dont want contact with liquid!:



510 inner Part (+) drilled to 2mm inside, 2mm Brasstube in, Shrinking Tube over the complete ...



the m2 and M3...



preparing the SS:



filling with 2ml Liquid:





Top Cover made from the left washers...ready:



At current model i use a 1,5mm hole in the acryl-tube direct beneathe the SS.
Didnt blow hot steam to my face when breathing in to the mouthepiece :)


I wish much fun if someone wants to build...


greetings from germany

Great walkthrough, I read it over at ERF the other night, thank you for bringing it here too. Much appreciated. :) Where did you get the M2 tap? All the sets I see are M3-M12 which have only a couple of sizes I'd be interested in right now. I do like that you use readily available parts, but this one seems difficult.

do you think that the same can be achieved with stainless steel washers? I have a SS tube mod and i think the copper wouldnt look too good on it...

Im assuming that flux with quality silver solder and a lot of heat would do the trick...

derJuF do you have any experience working with these materials?

working with stainless steel is quite hard withot the right equipment... especially drilling or filing...
What´s about Aluminium?
You can use a alu-rod for the top and bottom peace with the correct dia (~17mm)
- cut off 2 pieces of ~1cm
- drill a 4mm hole into the middle of both
- put a 4mm screw in to get it into the drill
- file the nut on both
- drill the dia of what your 510-connector has in one of them
- press fit a Alu-Tube with 4mm dia outside between the 2 Parts
.
.
and the best here is: nothing to weld :)

Didn't wanna say anything but u beat me blue, that's seriously a dangerous reaction about to happen. Didn't beleive it until it happened to me with brass.posts. felt sick every time I vaped. Don't even think about aluminum unless its anodized.

...hmmm.. i had looked for several datasheets about pg, vg ... you are shure you have used leadfree material?
All datasheets i found said Brass is used in industrie for pipes while production and storage...
I translated the datasheet of PG from one of the leading companys in industrial technology:

(VG is the same result)

...but i dont know if you can get "unclean" brass as washers or tubes... the washers and tubes i used are "technical-clean" and LEADFREE materials...
