Tutorial: Juicebox for around $8

[boringdays]

Can anyone tell me how I could wire the LED so that it's lit when the master switch is set to on? I'd rather use it as a reminder of the switch than to go off only when firing.

Thanks

edit: as you might be able to tell I'm diggin the Mr Puff..

All my top feeders work better than all my bottom feeders,including the one's I built or purchased.

I just dont want that tube on the outside on a top feeder. With my bottom feeder one 3 second squirt floods the atty then after a minute it drains back into the bottle. So after I vape I reload and then all set for next time. Cant get any easier for me

I try not to flood my atty,and it's much harder to flood an atty that's top fed. I'm also a function over form type of guy.but if you're happy that's all that matters.

Anyone got info on adding VV to this mod? I wanna try to turn this thing into my ultimate vaping machine if possible.

As a side note using this as much as I used my leo I am using much less juice. With the leo about 3.5 mls a day and with my oldgoat about 2.5 mls

Here's my first attempt at it:

In the end, it ended up not even a bottom feeder! I toyed around, learned a lot and decided after it was too late I wanted the battery/bottle layout different. It does work though! I'm still proud of it. But you can bet I will be taking this knowledge and building on it for another box I'll make as soon as the next check comes in. At least I've got a backup w/ a 510 connection now!

That looks good boringdays.

The first one is always the hardest. You'll be surprised at how easily your next one goes together.

Alright, so after a little blunder (using gorilla glue to hold things down), I had to adjust my box a bit. The main things that happened were that the glue expanded and made the master switch and the button too sticky. I was able to salvage the master switch, but the button was screwed. Luckily I had more tactile switches laying around (however the button is shorter, so I had to shave the side of my box down a tad).

Also in my the time I had, I figured out how to make it feed juice. No offense, but I didn't care for the way your 510 connector is epoxy'd to the feeding system, I wanted my connection fastened to the case. So what I did was to meld together the little dripper tip thing from the juice bottle w/ a needle. Now, w/ mine, you've got to hold it upside down or it won't work atm (I'm going to get tubing to go the length of the bottle later on).

Anyways, here's new pics of THE STANKBOX!

Now I'm off to stop neglecting my kids..

You should have started your own thread seeing as this is nothing like the OP's rather unique approach.

So with your mod you do not need to squeeze the bottle just tip up side down? That might even be better than having to squeeze bottle. Did you cut away part of the atty connection to solder a piece of wire to center?

 

[boringdays]

No I didn't cut the atty connection and yes you've still got to squeeze. I kinda just threw something together for now till I could find a tube to build a normal bottom feeding system.

Is that an atty conneection from madvapes? Does the atty connection come apart so you can solder center post?

 

[boringdays]

It is from madvapes, I don't know if it comes apart, however it wasn't hard to solder to still attached. Also, madvapes sells a connector that's got wires presoldered to it for like 50 cents more if it's a prob. I think they seal the hole w/ solder though.

 

[highping]

Hmm?
I would be worried about melting the little rubber isolator ring when soldering a connector without taking it apart.
You didn't have a problem with that boringdays?

Any ideas on how to cut the nice opening like missy's wetbox has?

I think a dremel with a cutting disc would work for the rough cut. Then clean it up with either a dremel sanding bit, or just sand it clean by hand.

I'm not sure what that type of cut would do to the structural integrity of the box used in the OP, but it might be ok.

If you try it, post some pics.

 

[mgmrick]

I have made some improvements on the mod box that suits my needs. Used a piece of the plastic tubing for a gasket/o ring between the needle and the atty connection. Seals the connection up so I can flood atty and then let it drain back into bottle for a perfect 5 vapes every time.

Moved the fire button to the top so when in shirt pocket it does not fire by accident if I forget the on and off switch.

Now to figure out how to get that nice cut used on missy's mod box

Well I got a big thumb, needed some room.

I used a piece of 3/4" copper pipe. I sharpened one end on a grinder (basically thinning the wall). Heated it real good on the stove's burner and plunged away.

Didn't need to do both sides, just the top was fine.

Getting a rough hole however you want, take a dowel of the hole size you want (e.g. broom handle) and use it as a sanding block with long straight motions. I use 120> 240> 1500> 2000 grit. Works well for plastic and metal.
