FINALLY, I have my order straightened out, and my quartz tubing is on the way.
From GE Fused Quartz Tubing, Tube and Rod
I ordered 50' of .5mm ID x 1mm OD and 50' of 1mm ID x 2mm OD tubing.
These come in 4' sections, and not cheap. Since they required a 50.00 min order I doubled up as I am interested to see what the .5mm x 1mm can do as I can increase the lenth of the heating area with out increasing the ohms. And with a reduced ID I migh not need a restrictor. We will see. If anyone want to try some of this I will have extra LOL, and I can cut it to the length you want, just PM me.
Will let you know when it is in and how I fair :)

Nice find Dan, Wish I would have found that place when I was looking. The smallest I could get was 1mm ID x 2mm OD. I would be interested in purchasing some of that .5mm ID tube. I paid $30 for (2) 4ft sections after shipping. I doubt I'll ever even use the 3mm ID tube I have.

You're right about that 0.5mm wall thickness. You should get much better heat transfer and more area coverage with less power required to do the job. Can't wait to see you try it.

I wanna play! :p Let me know when you get it and I might take a length of each size if you want to get rid of some. Probably make sense to cut it down to ship.

How is this stuff as far as getting juice burnt to it C? This Duran will not clean up and its supposed to be used for hi-temp sight glass in furnaces. For my setup it deletes the purpose of using glass to see through.

No problem got your PM, I will let you know when it is in. That is my hope, if this can be miniturized down to a stock atty dimensions then it can use the standard voltage.

No problem I will PM you also when it is in. I will see if my high speed cutting wheel will cut this stuff :)


I wanna play,too! Like Nico said, a little of each please...
And, yes I will follow the request and pm you. Big fun, Dan, thanks for the invite!
Charged, I'm still serious about the Paypal. Lemme know where to leave the email in an unmarked bag........;)

Got your PM and will respond when I get it in.

So is there any chance of that type of atomizer running off 2 or 3 3.7v rechargeable batts?

If it can be miniaturized to near the size of a stock atomizer, I'm all over it.

That is the hope with the .5mm x 1mm stuff, smaller surface area, more wraps. I am hopefull.

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.

Mission #1 accomplished:

Was successful with installing the new glass quartz atomizer tube with wetting wire into a stock Wizard.

Atomizer:

Installed: Made the electrical connection to the atomizer coil outside of the tube to allow it to be easily disconnected for removal if need be.

I hope your going to lower your nic juice to like...hmmmm...1mg! :D

LOL, Yea it does hit pretty hard but is controllable.

Now that we know good vapor is attainable using 7 Watts of power. I want to modify the battery compartment to use (5) 14500 3.7V batteries in parallel, then add in the TI PTN04050C step-up adjustable regulator. That regulator is capable of 12 Watts of power. I want to see how much overhead we really have available. I'll use a potentiometer so I can dial the voltage up and down. If there is enough overhead, true closed loop power control will be added for the ultimate vapor experience.;)

Hey C...you should send the video link to Zero Toys and see if they are interested in buying YOUR design for the Wizard Stick!!

Oh...saw your car vid on YouTube...pretty cool...What is the speed limit up there???

You can catch mine on the "Car Passion" thread...nothing fantastic though.
