It would probably work out cheaper to draw up your design on a cad program and then pass it on to a small engineering firm to make it up for you. As long as they have the correct taps and dies for the treads you require it wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg. When I left school, for the first 5 years or so I worked in the machine shop. I then moved on to other parts of the firm. Eventually they closed the machine shop and the chaps who worked there were allowed to keep all the kit and they set up on there own. I still keep in contact with them so if you draw a design up I could give it to them to get you a price on it.

IMHO there is a lot of hype about vw, unless you are using various atomisers it seems a little pointless to me. I only tend to use a couple of different attys throughout the day and it only takes a couple of seconds to adjust my vamo, lava tube, twist etc to the sweet spot for the atty / juice. Personally I use my lava tube as much if not more than my vamo as it is lighter.

The Clarke would be a better bet, I suspect you would end up needing the Tail stock, Among many other things, like a dead centre, bench grinder to sharpen the lathe tools etc etc.

After getting a response from Imeo, I've managed to order a new tank and mouthpiece (and some ceramics, plastic bits, and O-rings) from the Greek outlet. I used the "Contact Us" bit on the site and Vassilis got back to me via email to set up everything. It's certainly not cheap but it'll teach me not to drop it again! Well done, would you mind saying which greek outlet it was.

I am surprised it leaks, I have quite a few mini and normal ones and never had a leak. I have looked at my mini nova and is has an oring on each end of the tank., the normal size ones have orings fitted onto the metal base and top. Are they genuine novas?

Are you sure it is polished as it looks more brushed than polished. Nice dinner by the way

I am tempted to make one myself, think I might put a timer circuit in though to limit the cap charge time rather than guessing how long to hold the button down for. However this will mean I need to use a higher voltage batt, so will have to probably put a voltage regulator in to charge the cap.
