Mini juice Machine Mk3
Hello All.
The http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/64983-e-pipe-juice-machine.html thread is not over, I think everybody who participated may use it as a reference thread.
The Mini J M. Mk1 is at home with me working 24/7.
The Mk2 has had problems with the push switch, battery connections and feed tube.
(It is on it's way back to me for a postmortem)
The Mk3 is on the build bench and progressing.
I was hoping to use the silver tactile switch from madvapes, with a mosfet.
But I was unable to contact Mark at madvapes. I know there site is being updated and my emails may have been overlooked. This is not a bad comment for madvapes as I also know they are setting up a UK outlet. (I can't wait).
So instead I decided to go with a miniature microswitch with roller actuator.
Great smooth action and rated 3A @ 240v
Ordered 2 18650 2600mA, When they arrived I was surprised to find that they were 4mm shorter than the 3000mA version.
Surprised but happy, as it allowed me to add a -ve battery spring within the box.
Main slide switch as usual, but this time I've added a main power ON LED.
At the bottom of the mod are 2 chrome studs, which are a direct link to the +ve & -ve of the battery for a charging stand..
WhatAClumsyGirl was good enough to find me a UK supplier of 3ml eyedropper bottles, which I ordered with some 7.5ml bottles.
Delivered within 24hrs, great site Clumsy.
The 3ml bottles are very small and I will use them in the Mk 4.
But the 7.5ml bottles are a perfect size and shape.
Have a look for yourself
Atty and tubing not installed yet......
The light material supporting the battery is epoxy putty (great stuff)
Even though I sanded the inside of the box prior to installing the epoxy putty. It still detached from the box after curing, a little liquid glue sorted it.
You can clearly sea the power on LED and the charging studs.
The bottle still has to have the screw lid cut and the tube added.
If you can see, I took the green sleeve off a length of the wire an slipped
it of one of the LED legs. Saved a little time and soldering.
Good close-up of the microswitch.
More to follow.
