Right then you lot, HOPEFULLY one of you can help me.
Basically, I've been wanting to build a mechanical mod for well over 3 months now, and have drawn up various plans, looked at different kinds of switches, and made a rough plan of the design I want to build (Purely as it's simple!)
The plan is this:
Aluminium Body, with a SS Head with the 510 connection drilled into it directly for the negative... Then, use a copper positive connection designed like the chi yous to adjust for battery rattle and to allow for a flush fit of atomizers.
The design, is a simple bottom switch (Again, like the Chi You), but running a central copper tube through Acetal rod which is screwed into the bottom of the button assembly (Which will reduce the chance of shorts from using badly sleeved batteries).
I would insert a badly mocked chi you button, but, it wont let me attach from uploading , only url
(Much like the negative 510 actually...apart from the internal section WONT be threaded)
The copper tube, will then screw into an aluminium button which is recessed into the body (Which will HOPEFULLY remove the need for a locking ring making it easier to build)...
The reason for aluminium - It's got MUCH better conductivity
rice than SS... Infact, if it was slightly cheaper I'd use it for the connections as well! (Actually, I might)...
The reason for a SS head - It'd be much stronger, and since I wont need THAT much of it to make the head I shouldn't loose that much with voltage drop...
Ideally, I'd make the whole thing out of copper, but to do that would be twice the price at least...
Soo then, does that sound like a good idea? I would put the drawings I've done up, but they'd be taken off a webcam, so bad quality.... Hopefully I've explained it well enough.
