Hi folks here is the ZMAX V2 Steampunk Bottom feeder I have been working on.
It has two brass tapwheels one on the top with a short thread for the 18350 configuration) to clamp the battery and make the - connection, and one in the front with a longer thread to allow for the shorter length of an 18650.
Tha temp gauge is again funtional, as it the big brass button that depresses the juice bottle for squonking.
this V2 board will fire a 1.2Ohm coil, and with the volts set at 4.8v that is 19.2watts @4Amps, but with a 1.5Ohm coil at 6v you get 24Watts @4Amps.
The wiring and soilder points have been majorly beefed up to aid in efficency along with the brass body and contacts, far superior to the original SS ZMAX V2 setup.
Again all parts were hand made with a pi;ar drill grinder, dremell and soldering iron.
I will include a few pics of some of the build for interest, as I never did with the copper version.
Cheers
SV
