Hi Petercro!
Thanks for the kind words and yes, it did vape like a champ but I am not using it at the moment. I have set it aside and tonight I will be working on the molding prototype for my new design. I am going to use silicon molds and RTV plastic for this one and it should look cool. Hopefully, if it all works, I will be left with molds that can be reused to make more.
But first, I have to build the prototype. I have tried piecing it together with plastic and melting plastic over a clay and metal forms - neither has yielded any great success. Tonight, I am going to start shaping it out of wood, and when the outside dimensions are complete I will set that into a silicon mold. Then I am going to modify to wood prototype slightly to get the inner shell dimensions. At that point, I should be able to pour a mold of RTV and when that is dry, I can modify it to account for the battery holders, etc, on the interior of the box. I have it all measured out and documented.
Again, the goal would be to have molds remaining that could be reused. Wish me luck! As a tease, I am attaching a crappy photoshop rendering of the side view. Note that this will be slightly large than a cigarette pack, hold 2 18650 batteries and incorporate the same juice feed as the Ugly Box. I am calling this Project Smoker (sounds kinda James Bond like).
In the meantime, I did try to get a good picture of interior of the bottle cap but could not since it was now set into the box. Sorry! The tube does extend through the top of the bottle cap and into the bottle's nozzle, but you can't really see it in the picture below. No issues on this one with leaking or flooding.
