Came out nice but the first lip activate switch I built didn't work nicely so I switched it with a side button switch.

Some nice work for a first!

I can only imagine your subsequent builds got better and better.

Looks awesome @Boer !Like especially the fact that you split it in half. I think I must do this as well. I struggle getting the internals into my pipe. I'm not a gyny. :D What module is in there?

Hi Tyler, nothing bought on a shelf. All home made guts in there.

Will post some more pictures a bit later.

Loosely based on a replaceable coil like this (When I say coil, I mean just the silica rope and resitance wire - nothing else). 5c a coil replacement (including VAT)... lol

It's a bit dirty but you can get a feel for the size of it here - (That's my pinki by the way)

Wow, that's awesome! Can't wait to see your other pics! That is true DIY!
 
@Boer that is very original! The ceramic insulator for the coil, is it from an old spark plug?
 
C'mon man!
Makin us all look bad!

Lock me in a room for a hundred years with the tools and materials, I wouldn't come out with any of that...
 
The atty connection and replaceable coil idea originated a million years ago when we were still fooling around with 510's (Cigarette sized batteries). This picture below I believe was the original idea for modern cartridge type atty's...

I called it the "needle & pin" design. That's exactly what it is. A needle pinning the coil into a syringe needle connector.
 
Well done. Most interesting thing ive seen here for a long time. You wanna post more photos, feel free, please. :D
The pipe looks good, i think i'm beginning to like the idea. if i remember correctly, it looks something like an Oom Paul too.
 
Wow, awesome stuff. As someone said, real DIY. Thank you for sharing with us.
 
wow you really have an eye for detail sir

Impressed with your work!
 
Wow that's some very fine work there @Boer , nicely done sir! I love the look of that pipe, very classy, and that cigar looks epic! You've got some skill there ;)
 
I see some nice medals in this man's future... this is art!

@Boer if you can do more like this with more power I'm pretty sure you would have more than a few buyers lurking around here

Hi Johan,

No, I can't remember what they were called, but a number of cartridge type atomizers came out with these ceramic "cups". The picture below shows what one of these looked like. I think it was called a CE2 or something...

Haha BumbleBee, thanks for that....

I doubt I would ever consider creating these things for potential buyers - takes far too much time to make one... (And I get too attached to each one I make)

By the way, what follows is tongue in cheek:

P = IV (Power or Watts = Current (I) x Voltage)
V = IR (Voltage = Current x Resistance (Ohms))
I = V/R
so
P = (V^2)/R

Voltage doesn't change considerably no matter what Lithium Ion battery mod you're using. It's going to range between say 3.6 to 4.2V. The electronics will limit the current output depending on the resitance of the heating coil otherwise the chemical reaction of lithium ion will be irreversibly damaged and your battery will be useless.

In my opinion, if you get the balance right between the coil's resistance, surface area of evaporation for the juice and the heat produced by the coil you can pack a BIG punch in a small package....

The thing I've been using for the past 2 years - I call it "little beast", has truly stood the test of time against many. It costs me little more that 5c to replace the coil and wick, takes 5 minutes of my life every 2 weeks or so (I change it because I want to, not because I have to) and I can change the resistance of the coil to whatever I like. Personally I love a hot vape, with lot's of vapour and as much flavour as possible, and Throat Hit like an old Guiloise (the blue pack they used to sell 10 years ago)...

My little beast delivers all these - and a standard eGo 900mAh battery will last me about 8 hours. More than enough for a nice game of golf, even if I have to go and look for the ball quite often.

I'll post some more on this build in a seperate thread a bit later.

PS. can do a dual coil in there as well. The only prerequisite is you need 20/20 vision or strong reading glasses or both ;-)

(and a steady hand)

This is an old picture of the first prototype - looks a bit better now. The tube at the bottom is a removal tool to disasemble the whole thing to clean, change coils etc. This particular one is now in the hands of a friend who could not find an "off the shelf" product that delivers as much punch, flavour and TH.

Guiloise Blond .. Ah the old day's :)

Thanks, must be well before I got involved with vaping.

Those little ceramic cups are still around ;)
