The Cap-O-Mizer! Instantly vape from any 30ml bottle.

[capecodjim]

Here's my latest creation: The Cap-O-Mizer!

Turn any standard 30ml bottle into a PV just by screwing on the Cap-o-mizer!

vape for a week without refilling!

Everything is built into the cap. It can be screwed into any 30ml bottle. On the left is a USB jack for power with a tactile switch mounted on it. Plug in the power, prime the atty and vape! What could be simpler?

Here it is connected to a battery pack adapted with a USB plug. You can plug in USB power and use it as a 5 volt pass through. The design can use any power source and any voltage.

Everything is contained in or on the cap including the atty, an air supply hose (leading out the side of the cap with the wires), and a wick to bring juice to the atty coil. I used strips of coffee filter (no PTB handy) with the wick string securing them to the base of the ceramic cup.

The unit is completed and only needs the cart tube inserted through the cap top.

......................................


The juice supply is separated from the power and air supply by the nonlinear design and can be fitted to any type of container or open or closed juice holder, any atty and any power source. .

The bottle stays sealed and there's no leaks or spills because it doesn't need to be vented. Fresh air comes through the tube and around the coil from the outside via the hose. Make sure the hose is up high enough so it doesn't get squished when you screw the cap on!

The best part is that it actually vapes great, feels good in the hand (even with a battery strapped to it) and it's super convenient as a PT.

Comments? Suggestions? Pics of your version?

Modding is a lot of fun!!

Vape on!!

That's just crazy man.

That's cool as long as it works.

Have to say that is probably the weirdest thing I've seen so far.

Now thats EXTREME! Now what would be more extreme is that you would vape that much in a day.

Now find a battery set up that would make it through the 30ml and I am in. would last me about 3 days

 

[Liv2Ski]

That would get me through the day (well actually about 3.5)! Very cool

Ya, it works great! You never know what you might see.....

My Tekk mod (link in my sig) can vape 5v regulated for about 3 days on 2 18650's. It charges from any USB and has a USB output to power anything with a USB input including PV's

That is beyond weird..

Thanks! Nice emoticons btw!

What can I say? It's a prototype... built in one night to prove the concept...

To quote David Letterman: "There's no off position on the genius switch!"

capecodjim, nicely done! What a great idea. Can you field a couple of questions?

Looking at your photos, it appears the air tube is mounted to the bottom of the inner thread connector (or maybe the air tube itself) so the electrical connections seem to be moved above on the tube. Did you find the new connections are better placed in any particular location? e.g. keep the positive on the air tube or just hard wire to the coil lead on both sides?

How do you keep the coil cup from floating in the tail pipe? Does the standard ring hold it in place? Seems like the air pipe/tube, wires, and wick would put more of a pull than the regular cup ring would handle... I may not give it enough credit.

I know, on some of mine, the cup will float on the air tube - do you secure that if it happens?

Does the bottle need to stay vertical? I'm thinking about using this in a 18650 box mod... I have a bad habit of laying them down. I think you may have had a sealer on the wires and tubes, but I couldn't see anything on the tailpipe... does an undersized hole do the trick?

You've definitely got me rethinking my box - I was thinking tank, but you're talking TANK.

Thank you for the ideas!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to have this type of thought. (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/133862-oil-lamps-why-not.html) I moved on to studying another thread though. I think I put too much ADD on my cereal in the morning.

Very cool capecodjim !! Now all you need to do is put that inside a sippy cup & use the mouth piece of sippy cup for inhaling. I enjoy creative minds & you sure have one !! WTG

Thanks! The concept had been floating around in my head and finally came together. I'd be happy to answer some questions.....

Did you find the new connections are better placed in any particular location? e.g. keep the positive on the air tube or just hard wire to the coil lead on both sides?

I removed the stainless air tube from the cup and cut it, wrapped some teflon tape around it to seal it and put it back in. I didn't touch the electrical connections. I just cut the thin wires as long as I could and then soldered to them so I was hardwired right to the coil on both sides.

How do you keep the coil cup from floating in the tail pipe? Does the standard ring hold it in place? Seems like the air pipe/tube, wires, and wick would put more of a pull than the regular cup ring would handle... I may not give it enough credit.

The silicon ring barely held it in place and it slipped out a couple times... Then I kept the cap level with a chop stick as I pushed the cup into the other end with the push pressure on the air supply tube and worked it in. It took a couple tries to get everything snug and I didn't want to restrict the wicking action.

The coffee filter tied around base of the cup kept it in place. I had to push pretty good to get it in there. It's tricky to get it out if you have to work on it because you can't pull hard on the wires or the coil will be damaged.

Does the bottle need to stay vertical? I'm thinking about using this in a 18650 box mod... I have a bad habit of laying them down. I think you may have had a sealer on the wires and tubes, but I couldn't see anything on the tailpipe... does an undersized hole do the trick?

If everything is sealed properly the bottle can be in any position. In theory the only access between the inside and outside are the little slits the wick goes through. It's hard to get a perfect seal everywhere and I wouldn't trust it too much as my bottles aren't airtight like they should be (no resistance when i squeeze) so I know juice could leak out. The hose and wires have to be high enough so you can screw it down all the way for a tight seal. I put mine too low and need a rubber washer or something to make a good seal there.

I have hot glue sealing the wires and air hose and sealed the tailpipe on one that way. On the other the tailpipe was a tight fit and I heated the metal and twisted it a little to try and seal it.

If you want something that's totally a closed system w/o leaks or spills, look at the pump bottle mod at the link in my sig. Every puff is like it was just dripped.... (it also has a USB charge circuit for the 14500).


You've definitely got me rethinking my box - I was thinking tank, but you're talking TANK.

Great! I'd love to hear more about your box....

Ya, I'm working on the 60ml version with a battery from a 6v emergency light.... j/k .... but it could be done on any size container!

Thank you for the ideas!

You're welcome! Much of what I learned came from the forum and I'm glad to be able to give something back to other modders!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to have this type of thought. (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/133862-oil-lamps-why-not.html) I moved on to studying another thread though. I think I put too much ADD on my cereal in the morning.

The problem with the oil lamp concept was the air supply... the bottle had to be vented which led to an open system prone to leaks & spills etc....

Drawing fresh air from the outside directly to the supply tube via the hose solves that problem. The bottle becomes a closed juice system that's virtually airtight and leak proof!

Most (all?) other systems have been linear.... from one end through whatever parts a, b, and c to the other end. The air, power and juice were all one combined system. I isolated and separated the air supply from the equation to make it more flexible.

ok, I have a question for you: Froot Loops or CoCo Puffs?.... Which for some reason made me think of another question: Ginger or Mary Anne?

LOL!! Thanks for making me form the mental image of vaping from a sippy cup!!! Too funny!

50 amp hour li-ion battery pack

capecodjim... thanks for the excellent response! You really took some time and walked me through it. I'm hoping to work on the box in the next week or so - I was looking at the 6ml bottle - now that will be tight. I've got some small tubing so it may work. I was looking at my spray bottles too - they do have possiblities, but the top would really be crouded on those... may work though. When I strip out the box I'll know better exactly how much room I have with that 18650.

Glad to help and hope the details come in handy. Not sure what your planning or why the top would be too crowded.... The pump is right next to the atty on my mini and the small tactile switch is up top also. I left out the LED also... less is better IMO.... It's best when the pump bottle cap is near the atty because there's less hose to worry about. The bottles I use are about the same size as an AA or 14450 battery from the threads down..

Good luck with your box. I'm eager to see what you make!

No need.... It's self cleaning!
