I would assume this would work for just about any atomizer with slight modifications, tried it with my 510 and it worked great.

Sorry about no pics, but I didn't think to take any while experimenting.


I was having trouble pulling off the rca jack mod to any decent effect due to the type of rca jacks i had lying around, but then looking through my box-o-wires I discovered that I still had plenty of those slip on (not screw on) coax cables.

Ripping off the outer layer of plastic, I found wire weaved around a plastic tube containing a sold wire (meant as shielding I'm guessing, probably runs as a ground too...thats what I use it for)

If you take a paperclip to it you can unravel the weave in maybe 2 minutes and have a pretty good distance of wire to just spin together. On the model I had, the center pin is connected to the plastic tube, so by pushing/pulling on it you can move it up and down making the next part pretty dang easy.

Simply bend the center pin into a "u" shape with a pair of small needlenose pliars, set the distance about half way down (you can probably go ahead and epoxy it in place if you want) and plug the atty in (for a 510, if you use a smaller or bigger atty just bend the metal a bit so it'll fit) The atomizer becomes quite plug and play, and sits fairly snug.

I find that in most cases you can actually remove the center pin through the bottom of the device, bend it, drill a slightly larger hole in the plastic piece where it went through originally and you'll have an easier time bending it.

Just another option to reuse old parts. ^_^

vape away gentlemen. (at some point, if you guys like it I may repeat the process for the hell of it and upload some pics. If someone is doing it already and feels like taking pics that works too. ;) )

Edit:pics incoming as soon as they're ready.
edit2: yah....I can't seem to get the pics small enough, damn 8mp camera. I'll try upping em when I'm not sleeping

No looove? :( pass through I set up with this is working great. One thing I've noticed is that a ? shaped pin in the center pushes through the hole in the atomizer and holds it in place QUITE nicely. Lemme know what you guys think of the idea, I'll keep working to perfect it. :)

Sorry bout the pics...I just can't get them small enough to fit on the forum and lack any imagehosting. :(
