I use this to cut glass tubing and it works great. Just score all the way around then press down a little and it snaps right off nice an clean.

You can find them all over then net. Picked this one up locally at Wards Natural Science. They have a wharehouse down the road from me but they do sell online as well.

Just ordered one, thanks
Dan

OK concept design for a quick removal atty that can be cleaned, thoughts?
Think box design and a gutted atty that goes over the end into the box for inhaling.

Whats going to shield the box from the heat...the gutted atty? What size tube are we talking about, I forget?

I'm thinking the .5 x 1mm stock if it works as I envision it. I will probably raise the connection posts so it is in the air, away for either side of the box.

Looks nice Dan. The possible problems could be excess liquid flowing out of the exit side of the tube and leaking down over the coil causing poor electrical connections to the coil. Or possibly causing the coil and tube to glue themselves to the connection points making it hard to remove.

I've been wrestling with ways to get good connections and isolate them from liquid contamination. Since it's all glass there is not much that can be done right at the glass to coil points (I like the rings around the tube in your drawing). You almost have to have some kind of high temp epoxy to hold things in place.

Another tough item is keeping intimate contact between the coil and the glass. There is a small amount of expansion and contraction there going from hot to cold, so it will eventualy loose efficiency as the coil loosens from the glass.

Another thought is to maybe use a silicone O'ring between the exit of the glass tube and the gutted atomizer case. This way any excess liquid would hopefully just collect in the gutted atomizer and maybe flow back down inside the tube and not down around the outside and coil.

Thanks for the sketches and sharing your ideas Dan. Looking forward to see your test results.

I really need to get back to this pretty soon.

I've been looking at the standard RCA connector to use for the electrical connection point for the coil and also as the mechanical support for the glass tube. My 2mm OD tube is just a hair to large for this, but, the smaller 1mm OD tube Dan has coming will work perfectly. If you were to chop off the end of the male RCA plug connector you would have a hollow tube that will allow the glass tube to pass through. The female side or jack has a clear open path directly through the center. Using this combo it could be possible to marry the glass tube with the male jack and create the electrical and physical support needed for the glass tube and coil assembly. You could simply unplug the whole assembly to clean or replace.

I have everything but the small OD tubing.... hurry up UPS and deliver Dan's tubing..... :D

I hope it will be soon, I was playing again and have a few more concept pics. Notice the double o-ring adapter for the tube in the old attomizer case. this would help hold and seal the atty from leaking into the electronics area. and internal bevel would allow excess juice to run back into the tube.

Got it. Well done.
Here is the RCA connector concept. Yea crude diagram but just making a point.:)

Yes Dan. That's a much nicer rendition. The only difference is that you wouldn't have the top of the coil wired down below like that. If you look at the inside of the RCA plug. The outside typically the ground side has a long connection point that goes upward towards the exit side of the glass tube and it has little points that fold over your wire and act as a strain relief of sorts. My plan is to wrap those points around the glass tube for support and then solder the coil up there as well. Then down below where the tube goes through the plug I plan to RTV that area to add support and allow it to grip the tube.

Dan what program are you using for the 3D drawing? It looks pretty nice.

Naw really the QUARTZ TUBING ID HERE!!!
kool.... that is really really really small :)

OK I see what you are talking about, The program I use is Lightwave.
Well time to play, still waiting for the cutter to come in and the ceramic coating material. I will cut these into 6" lengths if that is ok with every one, and ship em to ya. Just PM me your address and how many feet you want.
Dan
