uses 4aaa batts and a 510 connection i ripped off a really old 510 auto. just one question. does it look too weird to be cool?
so, i made i pipe...i think

Nope, as far as I'm concerned, the weirder it looks the better...very creative Hopefull
havent really given it a name yet. however, i was planning on branding it with a soldering iron (draw a pi symbol). the "pipipe"! great, a dorky name to go with a dorky unit. i had to hand widdle it, i don't have a safety switch, and the batteries are kind of hard to switch out. i've never soldered before in my life, so i was a happy camper just to know that it works
don't know much about batteries, but i'm guessing it spits out about 4 volts and there's no capacitor so the performance i imagine will just get worse and worse until i can change the batts
Absolutely exclusive thing.
It's huge! And I like that! I was very into pipe smoking for several years. I always loved the look of big freehand briar pipes. I've been kickin the idea of doing something very similar around, buying a briar blank and then finding a way to shove the circuitry in there. Nice job, vape it with pride.
I always find it odd to see someone i personally know on the same forum through happenstance.
Call it the Pi Piper.
Also, I don't know how your insides are set up, but you could probably fit a couple 14500 li-ion batteries in there if you have 4aaa (i'm assuming NiMH) batteries in there. Or a 14650 li-ion. Both options would give you less voltage, but be easy to remove. Both batteries are AA diameter and the 14500 is basically a AA with Li-ion. (14650 is a lil' longer...)
Also, Also- it took me a while to figure what the numbers mean for the batteries. the first two numbers (14) represent the diameter of the bat in mm, the second set of numbers is length in mm (50mm or 65mm). The length is only approximate, though, as the nipple on the positive side of the batteries can add a mm or two. Correct me if I'm wrong, here, Oh More-Experienced-Than-I users!

A single Li-ion battery (regardless of size) is labeled as 3.7 volts. A fresh-out-of-the-charger battery might register as high as ~4 - 4.2 volts on a voltmeter, dropping off with use. When the bat is almost dead, it can register as ~3.2-3.4 volts.
Not having a voltage regulator in your pipe circuit, whatever the battery output is will be roughly what your atomizer receives. There is some internal resistance in the circuit, but not enough to make much difference in practice.
