Didn't see many DIY post of these, so was curious about opinions for making my own.


This is the same dimensions for the outer diameter for diffusers 22mm bowls but inner 19mm for injectors and just cut off some of pipe and put it into wood.

Any other better cheap solutions for DIY projects? Thanks.

I'll place the order and give it a shot! I'll let others know when I get around to woodworking a station to hold items.

Just hope it doesn't scratch the ball vape, maybe sandpaper any sharp spots to smooth the outside for diffusers sitting.

That tube might be a tiny bit big on the inside to hold a 19mm joint as the standard joint is 18.8mm at it's largest point (and about 15mm at the tip) so I think you may be better off with a 22mm OD 18mm ID tube

thanks. I was mainly wondering about that. Didn't want the injector to go fully inside and scratch up the head, where it sits on.

just wondering if sandpaper will make it not scratch a diffuser when laying on it.

got an idea on how big the biggest part is or maybe put ceramic spray paint coating on the pipe and just let it sit on the pipe, so it fits both injector/diffuser without scratching.

I don't want the thing to go in 20% and 80% are just a tap from knocking it over.

or some kind of material to put over the top to keep scratching on the bottom resting and preventing scratches.

the CH heat post has a stopper to prevent the injector to falling all the way down, unless I can find something to stick inside and not move to keep it from sitting flush but it doesn't scratch the diffuser sitting on it.

actually, wrench sockets work great and scratch resistant. just have to use it based on if you're going 22mm or 19mm. Chrome looking too

My only question after reading this for the first time: why are you selecting Aluminum tubing for your project? why not Stainless Steel?

On just about every list of DIY parts to avoid i see plastics (any type) , Copper and Aluminum to be avoided.

Great call out there! Under no circumstances should you use aluminum for this purpose. Even anodized aluminum in a device that has metal rubbing against it constantly is a no go.

To that end, be very careful to research the materials and coatings you use. It's very easy to trip and fall into something that looks safe visually but has horror materials baked into it.

*sprays with bottle* No! Bad! Bare (safe) metals, not chrome!

Titanium and Stainless Steel (303, 304, 316) are cheap and cheerful everywhere. Use them.
