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 have made this mod and it works great. In fact, it was the first mod i ever made and was very, very easy to make. Once I got the parts I needed, it took me about 20 minutes to assemble.

For those of you who may be interested in making this mod, I put together the following parts list and where you can get what you need. I am lucky to have a Harbor Frieght hardware store near my house so I went there and picked it up at the store. The other parts I needed to order.

Dremel tool mod

Parts:

Cheap Dremel Tool: ( $9.99 )

Battery Connectors: ( $3.00 )

5 Volt Power Supply at 1000mA. ( 5 Watts ) ( $11.99 )

You will also need a few things from your local hardware store.

Electrical tape

Masking Tape

Soldering Iron

Solder

extra wire...I just cut up the cord from an old adapter

Multi Meter (Optional) Not really needed but get one. They will save you a lot of headhaches.

I used putty epoxy to adhear the 510 battery connector to the casing. I would suggest using masking tape as suggested in the directions. It will allow you to change the battery connector if you want to switch to a different atty and provides a tight fit. Using Masking Tape will also let you make sure your atty is stright. If you look at mine, its a little skewed.

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.

I'm about to run out for a bit. I'm going to pick up a pressure switch at radio shack...I spend a lot of time worrying if I have the rocker switch in the "Off" position. Its like leaving the house and wondering if you turned the oven off.

Woah, pretty awesome mod, does seem easy to do!

Its extreamly easy, and its fairly cheap which is good for your first one. If it breaks, its no big deal.

I added a pressure switch to the mod this evening. I learned a few things about plastics and how they crack. Its ugly, but the switch is in securely and it works. But that’s what first mods are for...you learn a few things that you don't do, or do differently, on the second mod. However, I'm a lot more comfortable with the ugly pressure switch in place. It doesn't matter if I leave the rocker switch on accidentally now as it is now just a safety switch.

Next come experiments with adding LED's. But I need to do a little reading before I add those.

looks great! I like the the tool brand too! Big fan of Harbor freight.

yeah, and its cheap. Its a good mod if you've never made one, or if you want a 5V passthrough that doesn't need a computer. Its very good and it vapes like a champ.

[StevenP]

I gotta check harbor freights then, see if they have the parts to try and make this

There is a parts list on the first page of this thread. There are also links to get what you need. The important thing is to get the correct power supply. The one listed in the parts list is a champ. It delivers 5V/5W power that makes for a really good power supply to the atty. It really hits the sweet spot.

You should be able to drill/burn/cut through the plastic without much issue. Just need to be carefull how you add the switch... May want to use soft rubber washer & be light on the torque. Just about any switch will work, depending on the size. You can even find switches with LEDs. A good place for a small tactile switch might be where the key chuck was... might take some finesse to get it placed. It looks like it would be a good hold & easy on the hands.
