DIY E-Nail

Very smart about asking Mobile Soldering Station or Outdoor Water Heater idea. I just might do that the coil is 100w. That's per hour when that rate the watts of the coils right?

Im not sure i always thought that was the max it could handle id have to hook up a killawatt with it but i dont have one.

sooo...how about plugging into an ac converter in a cig lighter in the car? will the normal unit pull too much?

Nope thatd work just fine i was just explaining how easy it could be to get it to run off a DC source.

Hey bud bro...can you get nails still???? I am hoping to make one for my buddy but he wont spend the money for HE

Yup they should be in within a few days!

awesome. ill check back

quartz?

^^^I just came back to ask the same question. I have found PB for $150 no carb cap...IMO an enail needs a Carb cap

No luck on the quartz got a few people workin on that. But good US machined grade 2 titanium. Not sure exactly where he gets his Ti but i would assume from a reputable place he makes carb caps and other Ti nails for other small companies and none of them have had complaints to my knowledge.

I'm reading about these coils directly from china...they seem to be malleable? So u can bend them to fit different nails?

I wouldnt. from what ive heard thats what breaks coils. being malleable doesnt necessarily mean they should be bent once theyre formed into their shape. Ive seen people try to do that and the next day they complain about their coil not working.

Itd be easier buying a nail made for coils or a coil made for certain nails. They have the post heating coils which i dont like that heat the middle threads of the nails and they have ones like the OG enail nail that fit perfectly around it. Very similar to the nails im having made.

yea it looks like u can get a custom coil even for around 30 bux, i may do that. i really like this new ceramic nail I got off the bay, but it needs a coil ID of 22mm.

Probably want to make sure the nail is strong enough. With the long "rod" coming off the coil it puts quite a bit of tension on the head. Thats why even i am switching to Ti. Only thing i really trustto support the tension put on it. I love quartz but im not paying Joel Hallen aka scam artist to take 10 minutes out of his day to weld one tube to another tube for the ripe price of $200. And same with everyone else out there making quartz enail nails. FUCK YOU! peak n beagle makes em too and for the asshole tearing price of $220 on the d-nail site you could own a small piece of glass.

You know its sad when REAL grade 2 titanium goes for less than quarts. I cant back a nail that costs almost as much as the enail im trying to offer to the community. let me know how it turns out and feel free to post some links. The guy i talk to in china said i could get custom ones made i just dont know ANY of the specs besides size. Nor sure the resistance or wattage i should choose. So ill just be stickin to the ones i bought but like i said feel free to throw some links and pictures and give us some feedback on the customer service.

SSome companies have the "rod" bet at an angle to decrease the torque on the nail so you could possible have them do that for you.

someone should make a youtube video on how to make a enail.

Workin on it. Probably wont get around to it til fall/winter busy summer season. Im trying to work on it but i really just need to sit down for a week and bust it out and with the weather bein this nice its hard to do that. Ive tried to make parts bit by bit but its all hard to put together. Just gotta do it all in one go.

I will be workin on it though. Probably make some PDFs with wiring diagrams and shit on them.

Someone on FB offered me a quartz enail nail for $75. if anyone is interested

Here comes china, $100 for a complete digital unit with coil heater
