UDMSBF V2.0 - (Upside Down Mini Stealth Botoom Feeder)

[ecitek]

Here is the first one I built - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...3-upside-down-mini-stealth-bottom-feeder.html

Here is V2.0. Switch is now a small button that presses a metal strip into the body of the atty connector to make contact. The first unit worked leak-free and pretty much flawlessly, but I didn't like the jumbo button, so here is a pic of the newest version. Enjoy:

Oh, that's nothing... Short of AWESOME!!!
I'd add an internal movable insulator of some sort just so's I could have it "pocketable"; that would really make it my holygrailstealthvape!
Now I REALLY have to build me one! Thanks for sharing!

BTW, what are you using as an atty connector stabilizer in there? Looks interesting and like it really adds rigidity. Mine ALWAYS crack up there!

I used PLASTEX to build up the wall thickness of the box so the damn atty wouldn't wiggle around like a loose tooth. JB Weld sucks for these!

It doesn't "go off" in my pocket it that's what you mean.

I built the feeder tube out of a 16ga stainless piercing needle soldered into a 12ga needle. The 16ga is small enough that it will fit into the hole of most attys. The 12ga needle pressure-fits into the tip of the bottle - no glue needed. See the post for V1 to see a better close-up of that setup.

Then I remove the center post of the connector and solder it to the feeder tube. The tube acts as the positive side.

The bottle tip stays on the tube and the bottle pops off for refilling.

Love the look ecitek, simple, clean and boxy.

I use the same switch mechanism in my emergency keychain PV. Hell its the same switch mechanism that most "super cheap and usually given away free" flashlights use, nothing to wear out or break and they last forever.

Cool, thanks for the info!
Yeah, "pocketable" is my technical term meaning it won't go into meltdown in my pocket, like when I forget to turn off my master switch, lol. I'm a mechanic and usually lean over (and under) vehicles and it really takes it's toll on my boxmods.

I really do wish these boxes came in double thicknesses (or comparably thick aluminum with internal plastic insulation!); they're just not very mechanic's-pocket-friendly (or at least this mechanic's pockets). I just love the size of them and a 14500 will easily last me a shift. Having it become a bottom-feeder would be absolutely perfect for my purposes!

Plastex is some pretty cool stuff. If you like to fix / build stuff then you have GOT to get some Plastex. It bonds right to the box. I use it to rebuild broken tabs on the plastic panels on my motorcycle.

where do you think i could get hold of an atty connector? TIA

BTW - I got all of the parts for this from madvapes.
