Modbox Banger heater

[nicko0]

I am a professional glassblower 15 years and I use a desoldering gun to heat my bowls and quartz bangers.

It's important to me that there will be a portable temp control heating device to pair with standard* design glass art. I really do appreciate all the things you all build. Most of it doesn't work with the glass we make tho.

So please help me figure a few things out.

I would like to build a pancake or donut coil on a cord wired to a temp control Modbox. Then place this coil against the bottom of a quartz banger. I'd like help choosing a stainless wire for the coil. It seems 26 or 27 is a good reliable size. The length of the wire for the coil I haven't figured out yet.

The width of the coil would flat in a spiral would optimally in my mind be as wide as the bottom of the banger which would be 16mm to 25mm depending. The coil would need to be given a base to attach it to the wires; this would be a bit of tinkering but it's a very simple idea so shouldnt be too difficult to get a prototype functioning.

The wire would lead to the Modbox probably best to attach it to an existing 510 diy thread base and just make a cap for it to cover the connections.

So I'd like to use a very large battery. It seems 200-250 is what the current chips handle.

Temp control is a must for my needs. It would be nice to use a quality chip but I don't know which ones could work. Since the heating time would be quite a bit longer than it's intended use it would need to not automatically cut out. And it's be nice if it could manage it's battery under what I think might be usage outside of what it was designed for.

Yihi chips look promising since they supposedly monitor ambient temps for accurate temp control. but Im just now doing research. I'm open to any suggestions.

This really is important to me personally and for my business as a glassblower. Any effort you put forward I promise will see a functioning device in the near future.

thank you for your help.

This is actually almost exactly what I have been working on for many monthes now. I am just pulling together funding and then I will have the first 50 units ready for sale. Hopefully within the next 2 monthes I will have 50 units ready for sale. I can tell you to build something like this takes a good bit of effort and time. The device I am making will be able to attach directly to any glass piece with a 14mm female joint or use any adapter that will connect to a 14mm male joint. This will bring portable dabs to everyone's favorite heady rigs!

In case you are looking just for a quartz cup 510 atomizer there are a few. Cheout longmada motar giraffe attachment, also quartz quest and saionara .

I see that you already saw the STRAW thread. Well TUBO software works with my banger wrapped around with SS wire. The only gripe is cleaning,you still have to torch it redhot which also degrades the SS. There is no way at i havent figured it out to make a wrap that is easy to detach from the banger and still be in good contact with it.
Here is a picture of the motar

You just wrap it! That's awesome. I wanna know more deets. I'm super noob. Obv.

I will try to take a pic this weekend so you can get a better idea of my DIY. I used 1mm 316L around a meter maybe less.
Part of my post went missing .. i messed something.
About the picture i posted above. (the longmada motar)
I meant to direct you to 510 atomizers that have a quartz cup like the
Longmada motar 510 ,quartz quest and the saionara in case you are looking for a something minituarized.
