SilverPill - yet another 18650 body

[utak3r]

So... just another 18650 or 2x16340 body it's massive, but pretty small.
No electronics, just for 4V vaping
It has an eGo head, so you can attach any eGo atty or carto.
Still trying to get this better...

Hey that looks sweat not to big great to put in pocket 4volts!

Looks great! How is the connector held in place? I would really like to see how you have the inner workings set up.

 

[Rockproof]

What did you make the body from? Something store bought for another purpose I assume?

Looks sweat?

But, ya, pretty nifty.

 

[Vermonster13]

That looks sharp, I'd like to learn more about it also.

Yep
While searching for something asdaq were using for a suckaton (this is it: $1.55 - Aluminum Pill Shaped Keychain (Color Assorted) - Camping & Hiking Needs) I've found a much bigger version: $2.61 - Aluminium Alloy Pill Shaped Keychain - Gifts

And as for the details:


Few things:
- it's quite hard and thick. Drilling such a big hole isn't easy - at least with my tools...
- every point you want to make an electrical contact you have to sand with a dremel, otherwise it won't work.
- it's really hard to solder this thing... so the spring in the bottom is a real PITA.

For now (while still thinking over this thing) the connectors head is just tightly pushed in - no hard glueing.

Perlion, those are quite a bit smaller. The one Utak3r has will just close with a protected 18650 using the given o-ring, end to end it is snug. The ID is a bit roomier ~20mm. They both however, would make massive suckatons.

 

[utak3r]

Well, putting two of them together in something like one of your brass things would make a nice massive battery with a suckaton Jeez, few days of vaping without charging nor filling!

Heh, I've thought of that and have 2 even, but I like raidy's genesis and 18350 version in just the one, which looks like a lot of work especially with mounting the mouthpiece. And your ego big batt is great too, these pills sit real nice in the hand.

I have finally decided to make one of Raidy's Genesis, and I too plan to make something along the lines og the "Brass Beast" with an 18650 on one side and the Genesis taking the other side. <insert evil maniacal laughter here>

 

[Ragman]

any chance of a tutorial on this one?

Which one? The SilverPill? Does it really need it? Hmm... I'll try to make a tutorial when I'll be putting the new mosfet based switch in it - and thus it will be in parts again, so it would be a good chance for a tutorial.

There is also someguy's approach from a few years ago for the soldering challenged.

[utak3r]

Ha, thanks for this link, didn't knew it. Now I don't have to do it for myself

 

[belialNZ]

That pill shape looks like its excellent in the hand! Very nice work.

 

[utak3r]

Yeah, it's really handy. The only bad thing is you can't stand it on a table - it has to lay down.

 

[asdaq]

You just got the wrong size hole in the table
