Discussing the NicoStick

[AngusATAT]

OK, but how is that 1" section connected to the case? is it just glued?

You're talking about the battery connector? If so, I've read some folks using hot glue, super glue, epoxy, or JB Weld. I'd most likely go with epoxy. Just be careful and don't get it all over.

Also, I believe Nerf here on the forum sells the battery connectors if you don't have a dead battery to take one from. Check out this thread:

for first timers I'd suggest an epoxy putty, easier to form lil balls and mash them around the connector. I've had more than my share of liquid form epoxy getting into places it shouldn't be, glue guns should be reserved for heavy duty jobs like scrap booking and popsickle stick art.

Whoa, hold up a bit there, chief. I haven't even made my first NicoStick yet, so don't start getting me all confuzzled with the talk about the scrap books and popsicle stick elite modding.

I use a round file, and make the hole so the batt connector fits tight. Then a drop of super glue packs it in. A few drops of epoxy will work too.

Make sure you pull the center connector out and remove the rubber ring before you solder the new wires on so you don't destroy it. And let the solder fill the center hole so no juice runs into the unit.

I've done a fair amount of reading about this mod, and am seriously considering making my own nicostick, but I do have questions...
1) I've never seen the helping hands thing in any of our brick & mortar stores, (at least local) and would like to know where to find it.
2) Is there an atty type that anyone would recommend for such a beast, longevity and inexpensive taking precedence in the decision making process?
3) What kind of cost am I looking at altogether, assuming I already have the tools, minus the helping hands mention above.
4) Where would I go to purchase the atomizer connectors, considering I'm looking at buying the connectors and atomizer, rather than destroying a battery I have?

Figured out about the atomizer connectors, but still needing answers to the rest for anyone who has them...

Has anyone added an LED to their Nicostick? If so, could you post a pic of how you did it?

Thanks!
