Step By Step Juice feeder pill mod AKA Transformer

[Scubabatdan]

Ok was asked to do a step by step, this requies 3 pill "fobs" I suppose it is possible to do the work with just a dremmel tool but used a metal lathe and mill.

Here are the two housings after I modified them for use, one is the PT and the other is the 6ml bottle holder.

Bottom, notice the theads I put in the bottom of the PT for the male RCA jack.

Reverse Side, notice the holes I drilled for screwing them together.

Tops off

Atty and male RCA connector, I prewired the RCA jack.

RCA Jack Installed

Soldered the Pos Wire to the atty

Soldered the neg wire from the RCA jack to the atty

Ready for switch

Switch soldered

Switch installed

Inserted the screws to hold the juice holder to the PT

Fully assembled ready for an atty and juice.

Time to make the portable battery pack, I drilled out the top and inserted a female RCA jack.

All the parts you need, I used a AAA battery spring and cut the hole in the liner, and reinserted the liner upside down in the top so the center post will make contact with the battery.

Spring installed in liner

Liner and spring installed in battery housing.

Battery housing assembled.

Battery connected to mod

PT cable attached to mod for USB computer/car/or AC to DC adapter

Fully assembled with a 901 to 510 adapter and 510 atty, the tubing is from a bic fireplace lighter. Juice bottle is a 6ml plastic bottle from U.S. Plastic. Fire red one in the back ground

Working model VAPES GREAT! That is a vapor Grin

Hope this helps, or gives you ideas.
Happy Vaping,
Dan

I was just talking to my brother today about using pill fobs for mods!

Thank you and I just sent him a link to this

Thats a great Mod Dan. You always do nice work on your things. I like the color too.

 

[nicotime]

Man I hope you deburred them holes before assembly...and instead of cutting a flat for the switch you should take a mill a little bigger than the trim and do a counterbore.

Just messin with ya Scuba...lookin good as always. Thought you fell off the planet.

That's purdy Dan. Is that switch a press fit? I didn't see the nut over the wires, just wondering. As always you do good work and thanks for sharing.

Scuba, very nice all around detailed howto. The custom threading is a nice touch. I am liking these fobs more and more every day and definitely going to get some they seem very practical. Thanks for this

Yes it is a press fit, I use a drill that it just fits into, so the treads act and a locking point, no nut.

very nice mod,im starting to like rca connectors myself now.

 

[CloudBurst]

Very nice Dan! Can you do it without the PT and use the 16350 battys?

I suppose you could move the switch to the top and move the atty over and use a 16340 battery. As they fit perfectly. If I have some spare time I will try one.

Nice clean job on that Mr. Dan

Just a quick one.
Will those pill boxes fit an 18650 inside with a battery spring.

Very nice mod BTW..

Thanks everyone,

Nope those pill fobs only take a 16340 battery (16mm x 34mm)
The 18650 is 18mm x 65mm Way too big, The outside dimension of the pill fobs are 60mm x 20mm, inside dimesions are 17.5mm x 52mm I suppose if you could find a pill fob that fit it then it would work.

Is the black wire even needed? Wouldn't the casing itself provide a proper connection between the two connectors?

The problem is the anodizing of the aluminum, the threading is anodized. I have lost connectivity when using the housing. For the ones that do not have the anodizing and just plain aluminum you can forgo the black wire. An alternative is to wear off the anodizing so there is aluminum to aluminum contact. Seemed easier to solder one more wire then spend 30 min removing the anodizing from the inside and ouside threads.

Wicked design Dan, and I like the modular approach. Is there a fob that would fit a 18350 with atty and switch?

that is so hot. you love those hairspray caps , thats for sure...


i need to get some aluminum stock , a drill press , a lathe , and ... i guess a 4axis table for the drill press...


i love the way your mods scream "i have too much free time , and a machine shop" , yet they are still something the average joe could do...

if youre taking orders , id like a mod using the crest spinbrush charger , so that you dont have to plug your ecig in , you just set it in the ashtray charger...

just an idea for poker night/ sitting around... i do need one of your atomizers though , seriously. i am ordering a couple 901's , but you should pm me if you want to make one with an rca , and an rca-901 extender...

seriously...before im broke again...lol...

I built my own lathe, drill press, foundry, gear cutter, mill using the Gingery Machine shop books. I think the grand total for my initial run through was something like 100 bucks. I'm rebuilding the lathe for a wider bed/swing and changing it to steel and brass as opposed to pure aluminum. Its time consuming, but man it was so worth it each time I had my new machine ready.

its not that i wouldnt love to do that, and waste entirely too much money in the process . the wife would have my cojones if i told here i was going to be lathing some aluminum in our apartment...


i have looked through those books , and with the exception of the gear cutter , i have made a "lathe" out of a dremel for fly bodies , a nd a foundry for...well....nevermind what that was for...

yeah , she is giving me....the EYE
