Hi
There is a diagram about because I thought of making one myself it was made using an old flash camera, let me look around will try to find it

BS : always good if you find something to let others know

Ok the quick way to make one is to get an old film camera with flash and solder alligator clips to the wires from the flash bulb and the shoot button becomes the fire button !!. Thats it !!

So to make it pretty rip out the guts and put it a nice project box from maplin buy a button a bit of soldering and Bobs your Auntie

Also found this from a Greek site translated to English on an American site

Might get me one of these looks like it would save a bit of faffing. Wouldn't know how to make one though never even picked up a soldering iron before lol

@bob salter which source did you use for it?

A VMAX and an LM2577 board to make my wire zapper.

I remembered bob salter had mentioned it in the vapemail thread

I used the one you mentioned here. It runs at 36v. So far I have only tried nichrome to kanthal but it produces strong welds.
