What atomizer can I mod to have easiest draw THROUGH the connector.

I am making a mod that will, in essence, be a minature theatrical smoke machine. It may also benefit those who have COPD, and have difficulty with even slight draw resistance. It would not be unlike "Air Powered Assited Module (APAM)" posted by Scubabatdan, except it won't be as cool looking. It would also be viable to put other circuitry inside that would do things like allow me to set it to automatically put out a puff every 30 seconds or some other timing.

I am thinking of doing it as a standard, cheap box mod (like MadVape's 510 box mod), with the addition of a tiny fan that will take air into the box. Then, I will hope to enlarge the hold in a non-sealed connector to allow the air to flow through to the cartomizer.

I have now purchased a fair collection of cartomizers, both the standard and repairable. It seems that all of them are designed so that air is drawn from between the threads on the cartomizer and the threads on the battery connection. THe air must flow through the connector on the cartomizer.

The 510 connectors seem to be maxed out, in terms of how big the existing hole is. So, I am wondering if there are any other styles that might allow me to drill a large hole through the center. I guess an alternative might be to make my own connector, but I am uncertain what approach to take for that.

Any suggestions for an ultra-low-draw cartomizer?

I can hardly remember, but aren't 510 cartos fairly airy? The air comes in through the center hole, not the small holes on the sides by the threads. If the battery connector has a center hole as well then there isnt as much resistance. Sorry I can't help with differ ent models.

I am not certain, but when you say "510 cartos" there are actually multiple possible products that fit that description. I think the actual draw force required may vary depending on what is inside. But, I suppose the connector style will limit the maximum possible draw through the connector.

I am currently looking at my Phoenix style rebuild-able. It has a hole in the side that I can drill out to enlarge. The draw back, is that this is not a tank, rather it is a drip-style atomizer, and will tend to leak juice. This is something I don't want around my electronics.

I also ideally want my air to come through the connector so that I can blow the air from inside my enclosure, out through a connector in the wall. But, I just had a thought that I could poke just the mouth piece out a hole, and keep the connector fully inside.

Don't know if this helps but I was a 50 year smoker and My lung capacity is shot. Sometimes vaping left me breathless. So I made a real small 510-510 connector, open at the top and closed at the bottom. Then I drilled a hole in the side of the wall. I get great airflow on any thing I use and it makes vaping really easy now.
