The Incredible Extraction Contraption

The DIY BYOH Vaporizer Kit!
(That's Do It Yourself / Bring Your Own Heat)

Backstory: When I started thinking about designing a DIY Vaporizer Kit, I had a long internal debate.  Should I create a DIY Kit that could only be assembled in a specific way out of components that could only be sourced from DDaveMods?  Or should I design something that will be fun, educational, fully-functional, and allows the creator to make it their own?

I picked the second option.   I'm a tinkerer and a maker.  I wanted to build something that I would like to use myself and what better way to pass on some knowledge about what makes a vaporizer tick than a DIY Vaporizer Kit.

If you like what you see, follow the guidance below including the specific mounting parts.  Or if you want to get creative, choose other mounting hardware and make it your own design!


First, the finished vaporizer!
Can be used mounted to Station Unit, as seen, or...
... can be used unattached as injection style vaporizer.

Additional Steps for those who wish to mount their vaporizer on their stand.

(soldering iron station model dependent)

Parts List: (Part numbers and descriptions from Lowes Hardware. You provide.)
  1. [Mounting Plate] HTP37Z Simpson Strong-Tie
  2. [Bolts] 409487 #6-32 x 3/8-IN SS Machine
  3. [Nuts] 409466 #6 32 SS SAE Hex Nut 20-C
  4. [Vape Heater Mount] 817786 SIGMA ¾-IN EMT 2HL STRA

  6. Split high temp silicone sleeves are provided in two sizes so you can tailor the fit of your particular model soldering iron to the mounting bracket seen in this pic.

Step 2: Remove the two screws from your soldering iron station in preparation to install the mounting plate. In the pic, they have already been removed.

[DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS!]
Picture

Step 4: Gather the Vaporizer mounting hardware
Picture

Step 5: Add silicone sleeve(s) to vaporizer handle, IF NECESSARY.

(You can test the fit first by placing the mounting bracket on the vaporizer handle, then against the mounting bracket.  If you can touch both sides of the mounting bracket easily to the mounting plate, then you probably need at least one silicone sleeve to adjust to a nice snug fit.)

Step 6: Press on the Vaporizer mount
Picture

Step 7:  Install Vaporizer on the mounting plate

Picture

Step 8: Wrap cords as preferred using the two supplied Velcro straps (not shown)

Step 9: Heat up your vaporizer and enjoy!

When mounted, the heater faces upwards and the vaporizer is used in same fashion as the Arizer EQ or XQ2....

Works with all EQ mods offered on this site and is compatible with 18mm glass accessories.
