Lightsaber Led Cartomiser Mod

Nice! I'm so gonna make a uv and a green one!

One more thing johan, you seem pretty clued up on the electrical side of things, any suggestions on how to mount it inside the tank to get that connection from? Basically only going on that pick and your advice at this stage...

You can bend legs and connect parallel with coil in your atty, there are so many ways to do it. I would personally coat the components (apart from the ends that connect to + and - posts with 2-part Pratley clear expoxy, the latter being resistant to 99.9% of chemicals and can handle very high temperatures without off-gassing.
 
Thanks for all the info Johan, end of the month I'm gonna go get the supplies and try this out! Might just get some ce4's or 5 ' s just to test first then ill go for the more expensive tanks!

If anyone tries this out in the meantime, please do post some pics for us to see!

Just a last thing, my assumption is that the bottom of the coil is + and above the silicone washer is - am I correct with this?

Running the led paralel with the coil, wont that affect the ohms of the coil?

Neg-liable effect, current choose least resistance and in this case the coil.
 
Little off topic, running 4 x 3 ohm coils in serie, will that give me 12 ohms?

Yes when calculating resistance in series you just ad; i.e R (Ohms) = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 Ohms. When you connect in parallel it will be 0.75 Ohms

Oops forget to put "how-to-calculate-in-parallel" R = ((1/R1) + (1/R2) + (1/R3) + (1/R4)) = ((1/3) + (1/3) + (1/3) + (1/3)) = 1/1.333333 = 0.75 Ohms
 
Any ideas on placement? I'm thinking it might be a good idea to not allow the laser power while the coils are firing.

That will require extra circuitry and might not fit inside tank
