Smallest repairable atomizer?

[urquidezj]

i was wondering when the micro g would show up, u got mail btw Dan. here is what i did today, ill start with the explination.

the one i made first i used an old atty that was burnt couldnt press it, soldered it, kept falling apart, my posts where too high, it sucked, but still worked. i let one of my co workers taske it to his wife cuz he was complaining to me that she goes through lr attys in 4 days on her jessy m. so i began on the second one, i turned some brass down, left it a lil on the fat side so i could get a good press, threaded it insulated it, all the good stuff, drilled on the brass i connector i made with a 1/32 end mill stuck the ic connectors in and soldered. assembled, marked my hole on the body and used a 1/32 em to make it. after that i used some lock tite glue we have at work that cures with uv to seal the bottom up to prevent leaks. it vapes awesome. nice tight draw, thick clouds, excellent flavor, not genisis flavor but really good. flavor you will never get from a china atty. i wanna thank meatsneakers for the info, i no longer need a bulli lol. on to the pics.

dremeled a grove for the negative ic connector.

holes drilled to 1/32 for the ic connectors

Small rocket!

 

[meatsneakers]

awesome! very nice machining too. how's it hit?

 

[urquidezj]

Hits good, better than any China 510. I think the 1/32 hope gives too tight of a draw. I'm thinking about opening it up I don't know.

As far as I see this is a dripping device only, no liquid tank at all. Am I right?

No tank, I use mine with a bottom feeder though.

 

[slimest]

meatsneakers, yes, I see. Your atomizer is obviously for external tanks. I meant urquidezj's pictures with separately working atomizer and driptip.

 

[urquidezj]

Yes strictly drip

Been vaping for three days on it, after dropping down the coil to three wraps its perfect for me, thick clouds good flavor, gets really hot tho, I imagine its just because the coil is so close to the top cap. Thing is awesome.

ok, I'm stupid, I soldered the center post fine but the outside post I'm having problems with the solder holding. I'm using flux and both parts are hot. I'm sorry cause I know I'm new at this and everyone is rolling their eyes but if I could just get past this step I'm good to go

 

[meatsneakers]

You need to rough up both the post and the side of the RCA connector with some sand paper, something like 120 grit. Then add some flux, get a decent amount of solder to pool and do the same to the post. Now position everything and make the iron touch both surfaces. Once they both wet, lay off the heat and you should be good to go.

Thank you , and I shall report back, but by now I had like 8 beers lol so maybe by tomorrow

 

[meatsneakers]

haha just remember which side of the iron is the hot side and I think you'll be OK. Post pics once you've got it together.

I use 3/64" drill bit and it is perfect.

I will open it up on Tuesday

 

[CaminoDiablo]

This is what I came up with, had a non working CE2, so used the ideas here and made a working atty. Well, lol, it worked for like 10 minutes then I started having a short issue. I will try another, good thing I never threw away old stuff. Lots to practice on. I must say this atty rocked when it was working

this is great info.

I mentioned this in another thread, but someone should do a "for dummies" version of this thread.

What I need is a very basic step by step for someone who has never worked with any type of electronics. I need all parts listed along with tools needed and instructions a 6 year old can understand.

I am sure everyone would be super happy to see that thread.

thanks in advance.....

So you suggest some kind of 'How to' Book For Dummies, written for you? It will cost a lot of money

P.S. Anyway this is a good idea - to publish something like a monthly magazine with colourful pictures and tables, explaining for e-cig modders, what to buy for modding - a lathe, Dremel with accessories, files, a saw, a hammer, how to drill holes, how to solder etc...
Just imagine...
