Want to make....atty stand any advice?

[Mrsmac]

As the title says, I am thinking of making an atty stand inspired by a post on here a few weeks back where one was made from Perspex with some 510 to 510 connectors were used.

i am thinking to keep it simple and cost effective, not sure what to use and how expensive it will all be. Ideally, I would like it to be able to hold say 2 kayfuns, 6 protank type atty's and 6 ego threaded mini atty's.

Am I being too ambitious? Are the connectors expensive?

Hi i made this from a cutting board i bought from Tesco's £9 and some drilling and a few hours work

Grandad, yours was one of the originals that inspired me followed by another member here. Can I ask a couple of questions please

What size did you use for your 510 tanks?
What size were the mini tank holes?
What size did you use for your mods?
How did you do the mvp bit?

I could maybe do it this weekend

Hi Mrsmac sorry for late reply

510 Tanks = 7mm drill bit
Mini tank holes = 16mm Flat bit
Mod holes = 25mm flat bit
Mvp hole i drew round the mvp where i wanted it then drilled a small hole in each corner then cut from hole to hole and sanded to shape afterwards

Hope this helps and good luck with your stand post up some pics when all done

I think I might try something like this also but may need some shinney to fill them up, ( I quickly look left then right then around 360 degrees in case she who must be obeyed under the penalty of death is around)

Phew she wasn't lol

Mrsmac - If you want to explore having one made for you, it doesn't hurt to have a look at www.ecig-stands.com

Pop an email to Sue, she'll give you a quote for any spec you want.

I have one from them:

I love it, and although I think Grandad's home-made stand is excellent this is like a piece of fine handmade furniture that has pride of place in my living room.

Just had a look at your stand ionian that is a work of art

Go on have a go chill36 the end result is very satisfying, Be aware shinnies are very addictive. Tell the wife you swapped them on here it does work

Good luck mate

[Mrsmac]

Grandad, thank you so much for those measurements

ionian gonna have a look at your suggestions, still going to try my hand at my own though, the one I have drawn out is nothing like I would probably be able to make, but i may try and see, I can imagine the satisfaction would be immense lol

[Mrsmac]

ionian your stand is absolutely lush and not a bad price too, wow off to check out the site....whilst my drill is charging

Did you have a go at making a stand yet?
I really like Grandads one, I think I'm going to give it a go.
