Rebuildable 510 Herb Atomizer (Ribbon feature)

Updates?

Sorry for the late reply, I'll post an update soon, but I can already tell you that there will be a delay and that it won't be for at least six months. I'm currently very busy with my DynaVap project (I have to admit that this one delayed me a lot) and everything that comes with it.

I've also made a few improvements to the airflow adjustment system. I thought of opening four areas instead of the current two and proposing two different airflow adjustment bottom rings (one with only two areas and the second with all four areas). It can be easily selected and modified by the user. This will make it possible to play with uniformity and offer more airflow adjustment to suit everyone (from the most restricted to the most open). Another big advantage of this method is that you can choose the orientation of the air holes (with the two areas ring) on an SBS mods (to prevent it from being blocked by the wall (because I have no control over this and it depends on the many SBS mods available on the market)). This way I'll also be ready for my own SBS mods in the future. I'm also learning about the many TC firmware available (I'd like to be able to offer profiles/settings adapted to each of them). I still have some work to do on that one.

These new features is currently in CAD and has not yet been manufactured by the factory or tried out, hence the delay (I also need a little more financing). I think we're getting close to perfection now. Everything is well thought out and arranged, and everything corresponds to the specifications. I think it's worth being patient. The last few years have been very enriching for me, and I have high hopes for this project

Excited for this!! Please look at the impcognitos design on how it dosnt have a big metal plate making direct contact with the mod being used to avoid over heating the mod! How is it on spotting? Is it an even roast or plans for a kind of diffuser if needed nice radiant roast of the herb <3

Unfortunately, it's not possible to make a wooden base like on the IMP, as there's an airflow ring in this area and the wood modifies the thermal conditions too much for that (as for the wooden sleeve, it can become complicated to adjust the airflow according to temperature and humidity). IMP has a Maple (one of the most neutral woods for most people) inner lining on its sleeve to insulate the exotic wood outer shell and it doesn't work with a spiral ribbon (it uses two ecig coils). For my project here, the idea is to insulate the wood completely from the air path (for a purer taste and to avoid scorching wood). I had considered an internal SS/glass lining to be integrated into the wooden sleeve, but this is not an appropriate solution for this design.

I have now fully resumed the design and manufacture of the atomizer and it will finally have two vertical clamps with jaws (like a mesh ecig atomizer) instead of the friction connection initially planned. The friction connection (like a Taifun BT) was a good basic idea, but given the rebuildable nature of the atomizer, this limited the choice in terms of ribbon thickness for a successful connection. Now you can connect any thickness of ribbon and it also makes assembly easier

Part 2 no longer protrudes from the atomizer, and now screws directly onto the upper part to fit inside the atomizer to create a shoulder and diffuser (or simply a screen) for the TM mouthpiece. It also prevents herb particles from falling into the atomizer (and there's less work to do on the wooden sleeve (idea is to simplify things (and the cost) for craftsmen who want to offer wooden sleeves in the future)). Simple and efficient.

Now I just need to find a reliable manufacturer for the wooden sleeve. I also have a few tests to do on this one to see if it's worth (in terms of cost) making holes in the wood to evacuate the heat even better (a few honeycomb holes here and there for better temperature/humidity regulation) I should be getting a thermal camera in the next few months if all goes well.

I really can't find any improvement on this latest design and I think this one is really perfect! The very thin thickness (and no contact between it and the wooden sleeve in the ribbon area) and the four areas holes in the knurled airflow adjustment ring on the bottom (instead of the large knurled mass) of the unit as well as the deletion of the huge upper part 2 have greatly reduced the overall weight and height of the atomizer, which is a good thing

A Pixelfed link to the project should arrive in a few months time for details and pictures. Sorry, I still don't have an official date to announce at the moment.

All designed with entirely open source (from OS (Debian) to CAD (FreeCAD)) software, I like it!
