The underside is the most revealing. Note the following in the pic below:

1. Black zap-straps holding down the dual D-cell holders
2. Blue single-strand ethernet wire holding down the four sockets
3. White socket-wire travelling through holes from inside of unit to switch on outer rim. The holes were drilled so that the wire can go through 'inside' the spindle base so it won't lean.
4. Inlet hole for air flow.

Spindle Vaporizer [G3]
Codename: Harmony













Yesterday I completed the third-generation filament vaporizer device! It was tested last night and works like a charm, much cleaner than G2... I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to make this unit. Below is my working notes, the plans which fed yesterday's feverish creation. Some minor points may have changed in the execution, but not much. Also, the D-cells remained cold throughout operation of two sessions.

--------------------------------------

This unit is a derivative of G2; the differences between it and G2 are:

1. Hereafter referred to as the BS, a 25-size spindle is attached to the bottom of the main 50-size unit by three screws, of type low-clearance flatheaded which take small nuts.

2. The BS holds two D-cell holders and wiring.

3. Wires travel through holes and deliver power to sockets in upper spindle (US).

4. Sockets in US are arranged in a flower-petal design.

5. Number of sockets in US is 5.

6. Air intake hole. The hole left behind by the central shaft removal is used. A hole is drilled on the outer edge of the spindle base, allowing air to enter between the two bases and travel up through the hole.

7. Switch. One switch is used, same type and position as G2.


The G3 design has some advantages over G2:

1. The US vapor chamber's volume is increased by removing cells. Cells will no longer become sticky due to resin condensation.

2. US can be isolated from BS, providing safety against cell or wiring fumes in case of short, etc. (highly unlikely in this design).

3. Layout of sockets in US can be optimized. Radial flower-petal configuration preferable and finally obtainable.

4. Increasing the filament count from 4 to 5 will both cut loading by 20%, and also cut per-filament power by that number, resulting in cleaner, cooler vapor.

you my friend are a true macguyver smoker lol. but seriously, this, in my opinion, is an absolutely awesome idea, im sorry, invention. as natmoon said, it just needs some perfection on the body design, but other than that, i believe this is a marketable product. you could also offer your own style of extraction kits to help people have a need for an efficient hash oil vape. i wish you were my neighbor, we could get stoned and get your product on the market. happy vaping bro.

Thanks for the feedback! If you want I can make a unit and send it by mail... they are fairly cheap to make (most of the cost is in buying the 25 and a 50 spindles of Memorex CDs/DVDs). But if you use CDs/DVDs then it would be quite cheap.

Oh and I wish you were my neighbor, my real ones are fairly lukewarm on the idea, they are addicted to cheap joints. Unfortunately here in BC, bud is so cheap that it has really retarded the development of better ways of getting high.

In regions with little production, people tend to use more concentrated resins (cheaper/safer to import).

i dont yet have the ability to make hash oil, working on finishing my first grow, some crappy shwag cause that is all we can get down here, but would definately be interested in one. never smoked hash oil, but would love to. plan on buying an extractor for after the next grow, nl and ams. seriously you should look into perfecting your product and starting a company that helps fund the cause. (like my canadian hero Marc Emery)

nice work, bro. i hate the media stereo type of lazy stoner when we all know the inventivness and capability of even serious pot heads. imagine trying to do this shit drunk. props.

this last redesign is much better: moving the electronics out of site.

iso you should message RIU or one of the mods about adding this to the growfaq...

if you put together just your build posts then it would make a great little guide!

I'll be keeping my eye out for when this goes on the market! ~

I'm going to put this on the "To-Do" list tonight when I get home. Its a big whiteboard that me and the lady keep all of our home improvement projects on, and I so definitely think she'll agree that something like this is worth while! haha

Ok, so she might laugh at me, but once its really done she'll appreciate a vape that actually works. The only thing better than a good vape is a good lady friend to smoke with ya!

Keep the improvements coming Iso. Very impressive so far.

I finally put a friend's DVM (Digital Volt Meter) on the G3 unit, to measure both current and voltage, to determine the power in Watts.

2.12 V
1.82 A
3.86 W

Less than four watts! And boy does it put out the vapor... this kind of power efficiency means you can breath COLD vapor, rather than HOT; something no other vaporizer can do.

cool invention! Im coming back when i can spend more time
