If you can't do it matey its not a problem i'll to try to get a high power auto draw battery there's got to be one knocking about somewhere.
Especially since I'm on vacation next week, so I'll have time.
Yes definitely higher pg give the throat hit and when there is a long have between the tubing and device it may be a better change of throat hit
The higher pg gives a better throat hit the higher the vg the more clouds where your looking for a satisfying hit period the thing higher pg is best option
I hope you won't mind.
Okay @neal1981. I've finished the automatic drip tip and it works. I've called it the Neal Tip
Here's a photo of the parts: you can see (from left to right) the drip tip (yep, it's square - for now), the main cylinder with the diverter channels, the sensor holder above it, the return spring for the piston, the piston itself, and the 510 adapter:
Here's the thing all mounted, without the sensor:
With the sensor in place:
And finally, a small video of the device in action (only triggering a meter for now, to test it):
Tomorrow I'll clean it up and enclose everything. I've yet to figure out if I should leave the airflow fixed or adjustable: if I make it adjustable, I have to figure out how to make it stay in one piece. Then I'll rig one of my mods for remote-trigger and try it all out.
Stay tuned
I don't mind biting on it to fire it at all so it will be called the bite neal drip tip lol cheers Giraut!Dammit... This is turning to be rather trickier than I expected.
The device works... once: as soon as the vapor condensates inside the cylinder, it's sticky enough to jam the piston. And if I connect it to the atomizer's air intake, by the time the switch triggers, there's hardly any volume left out of a mouth draw to get any decent amount of vapor.
This ain't working good. So on to plan B
@neal1981: I've come to the conclusion that a drip tip mouth switch is the best option - to fire the mod with your lips or teeth.That way you can "pre-fire" the mod before drawing, like we who have the use of our hands do, to get the densest possible vapor. How do you feel about this? If you'd rather not use your teeth, let me know.
EDIT: I couldn't resist. I have a prototype "bite" Neal Tip half-made. It should be done today or tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have to wait for some epoxy to cure...
Well you look like somebody out of seedy BDSM movie lol. I think No 4 would be the safest/easiest best way whats the damage on it?Okay, I've finished the second prototype and it works well. Check out this video:
Sorry I've had to rename it "Neal Tip #2": when I entered "Bite Neal Tip" as a title, Dailymotion apparently thought it was some kind of BDSM video and rejected it
It can do direct lung hits very well, and mouth-to-lung also. However, in the latter case, since you have to clamp your teeth on the tip, you can't draw as much vapor as you would if you could open your jaw fully. I find the best way to do it is to fire the mod a good second before taking a toke, and then take a slow mouth drag with the airholes wide open. When you "run out of mouth" so-to-speak, slowly open your jaw until the mod stops, then pull briskly what's left of the vapor in the atomizer. It definitely takes some getting used to, but it's doable.
As you can see in the video, there is no contact between metal and your teeth. What you bite on is a piece of rubber tubing. It's rather safe I think.
So now the question is: what do you want me to do with it?
1/ I can send you the Neal Tip alone, and you get a friend who can work a soldering iron to externalize your mod's firing button for you
2/ You send me your mod, I rig it then I ship it back to you with the Neal Tip (no guarantee that I won't destroy the mod in the process though: the electronics in them things are usually very small and very, erhm, Chinese.)
3/ I buy a mod locally, I rig it, then ship it to you with the Neal Tip (again, no guarantee - same as above)
4/ I sell you my Dovpo E-Mech (the one in the video) which is already rigged, and I ship it to you with the Neal Tip. It's not the most exciting mod in the world, but it works well. At any rate, it's not worse than an iStick 30, but it's certainly a lot bigger, being that it has two batteries.
5/ I keep the Neal Tip and you get a handyman friend to make you a copy. It's not terribly complicated to make, I can send you some drawings.
Or if you want some other arrangement (or you don't want it anymore), let me know.
Well, I have to admit... That's my personal policy of never showing my mug on the internet, you see. Unfortunately, it's not very practical to demonstrate a mouth-activated drip tip
Damage on the mod you mean? It's spotless. I take very good care of my belongings. Well, it's been opened and it has a wire coming out of the battery compartment now, obviously. Even so, if you disconnect the drip tip, the wire stows neatly inside the battery compartment, so you could resell it to another vaper yourself. I think I still have the original box and everything. It's not new and it has a few miles on the clock, but you couldn't tell by looking at it.
I can shoot a few closeups if you want.
Your right there Haadkoe i cannot thank giraut enough!! Heisenberg i thought that straight away lol!
Absolutely brilliant Giraut i haven't seen anything about price matey send me a private message about the price please buddy>... and that bothered me. So I improved it today: I added a big red "toke extender" button. What it does is, when it's activated, the mod keeps firing for roughly 1.5s after you release the drip tip switch. That way, you can take a real, full mouthful like the rest of us - those who do mouth-to-lung anyway.
Check out this video:
The only drawback is, you can't turn the mod on or off with 5 clicks anymore. That's why the toke extender has a button, so it can be deactivated. Not that you'd ever need to turn off the mod though: I suspect your friend @tomo2882 will set it up as a passthrough - permanently connected to a wallwart - right?
Also, if there's anything James Bond movies has taught us, it's that all devices should have a big red button
No problem my friend. As long as I'm having fun making something interesting in my workshop, it's my pleasure.
You need to tell me if the price is right for the mod. Then I'll contact you in private to complete the deal and send you the setup.
How many people in the world are 1/ quads and 2/ want a better vape, do you think? That's a rather small subset of a rather small number of people. So you don't have to thank me. But I do appreciate the kudos - thanks Neal and everybody!
Just so they know.
