If you do use tape, I suggest on putting the fitting a pinch lower then what you have it in the photo. It should be in the area where the shaft was held into place. You have it very close.. that's why I say only a pinch. Wrap plenty of tape around the atty so you can "smash" the enclosure on it... If you get too much so you can't smash it.. remove a little of the excess at a time. It will also help to make sure you have a atomizer + cartridge attached so you can line things up... When your done you should be able to pull tightly on the atomizer without it moving... it should be rock solid & not budge at all. You may also want to add a push button switch & use the rocker as master.(for safety reasons) Beyond that it's personal preference.... LED's, etc. I removed the OEM stickers, you can use a label remover. Liquid is preferred as it is plastic, but a heat gun should work too. Other then that this design is about as simple as you can get.
Homemade dremel vaporizer - Easy MOD for beginners + 510 smooth smoke info
IMAGE IS AT : http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/6375/dremelvapor.jpg
Let me start by introducing myself... My name is ZeroNullity, I’ve been an e-smoker for awhile and a “former” smoker much longer. I’m also a Electronic Engineer & Unix Computer Administrator . I thought I would share this easy mod with everyone. The good thing about this mod is you don’t have to do any modifications to the housing just unscrew it put your atty & wiring in. I currently have it hooked up to a power supply so that I can plug it into any 110v~ outlet. However there is plenty of room in the case if you want to add a rechargeable battery & charging circuit …. If you have soldering experience it takes less then 10 minutes to make one of these.
Required Materials:
1.Cheap dremel knockoff – ones found in cheap silver/metal cases. You can find them in many different colors I just happen to have a blue one on hand.
2.Dead battery from your favorite e-cig. You’ll be using this for the atty fitting. I use a 510. But any atomizer battery fitting should work.
3.Power source – Wall wart (output rated at 4w-5w), Variable Power Supply, Battery/Charging circuit or USB Circuit (with heavy protection circuit) depending your personal preference of power.
4.Good atty, cartridge, & e-liquid.
5.Tools – screwdriver, soldering iron + solder, and masking tape is all you need.
Procedure:
1.Take apart cheap dremel knockoff casing. Remove motor, shaft, and key chuck.
2.Wire your atty & power circuit into place. I won’t get too detailed here… because it will depend on your needs. If you want to use a power supply like I do (variable power supply to adjust the heat of the atomizer) or maybe you want to use a battery, etc. You may need to add some masking tape around the atomizer fitting so it will stay in place when you screw the housing back together depending on the size of your fittings. Don’t use electrical tape as it will slip when heated up. There is even a extra hole to put a led/switch were the key chuck use to be. If you need any help on this stage with wiring/soldering just let me know.
3.Assemble & use.
Power info on the Joye 510 Atomizer
The heating elements on these units are rated about 4-5 watts.(based on vaping) 4 watts is perfect very smooth smoke…. Or if you want a massive amount of smoke you can go around 5 watts. (be warned it uses more liquid, but will produce more smoke)
Please note I use wattage to describe the heating element. I see too many people using only voltage… when they should using power/wattage to describe the power source /destination. If you use a different atomizer your wattage requirements may very.. As each atomizer uses a different resistance wire for the heating element.
When I get time I’ll post some more of my modifications up. I’ve done many experiments with lasers, ultrasonic, microwaves, & homebuilt heating elements. I’m currently working on a vapor king monster similar to a herb vaporizer with a long lasting heating element for home use.
For wattage/power calculations -
multiple voltage by amperage.
For example
5 volts @ 800ma 5 x .800 = 4 watts
5 volts @ 1000ma 5 x 1.000 = 5 watts
12 volts @ 350ma 12 x 0.350 = 4.2 watts
12 volts @ 400ma 12 x 0.400 = 4.8 watts
I need to get permission from the forum gods for this one. I got the step by step from another forum. I built it today and it was very easy. It was the first mod I ever built and its great. Its a 5v 510 passthrough that plugs into the wall instead of using a USB port. Its extreamly easy to build. I even made a video to go along with it but it refers to another forum. If it is OK with Chris, I'll copy and paste the step by step.
