OMG!! Thanks Dan, I think I get it now, I'm going to try and make my own mag mod.
Just another question, do you just push the battery connector in to the rca barrel and it should fit tight, wouldn't this be the weak point of the whole mod? because the female rca connector is force-threaded in to the body so I guess it fits really tight but it seems that the battery connector could just fell apart??
Anyway I'll be buying all my pieces tomorrow and start working on it... thank you

Then tap it with a 1/4in 28 or 32 thread tap. Of sacrifice one connector and force thread it.
Hope that helps

LOL it is a very tight fit, I have been using mine now daily since I made it and the conector is still very tight. But it is quick disconnect so it goes into my pocket with out being very long so there is no stress point. Has not fallen off or loosened up.
Hope this helps

Cool, Pics when you done?
Did you make sure to cut off 2mm off the RCA center post?

yes, i did.. thanks for the reminder though. and sure sure, i'm kinda waiting on the pics til i can get one of me actually using it to employ as my profile pic here ;D i'll post some of both though, made an 801 and 901 connector/switch. which, again: that's just a brilliant idea. you guys have done us all a huge favor by sharing that one.. rca jacks are much easier to get ahold of for future mods than having to keep on ordering more 801/901/etc connectors. i *love* that all i'll have to do in the future is screw my attys onto one of the switches i've made and plug it in.

For those of you who do not trust 50ma tactile switches, here is picture of other switch that i used in RCA adaptor got it at RS , i had to come back RS many times to find only one of this switch again. This switch should be a reliable one but you have to file the RCA and the switch to make it fit and surfaced, also the switch is very light, easy to activate so you may need a safety on off power or have to take atts or adapter out when not in use.

Great Job, I found that the cartamizors work great with this mod as well, the hole for the switch allows enough air flow to vape perfectly. Of course I am using a 901 batt adapter so they work great!
As far as the 50ma tactle switches, mine has been used daily since I made it and has not failed yet!

How about some blueprints...I'm blown away.

I had problems with making this mod with a Blu atomizer to get the center pin to connect, bu I found a solution that works rather well. First widen the hole at the end of the RCA plug to fit the atomizer as the original instructions show.

Then snap a BIC mechanical pencil or open up an old click-style pen to get the small spring. The BIC pencil springs fit perfectly around the center pin of the plug and are just long enough to meet the atomizer. I soldered this in place to the plug, but just crimping it may be enough to make a good contact.

You need to insulate the spring from the outer shell so you don't get a short from the spring shifting or something, and the little piece of clear plastic tubing that comes with plug fits perfectly and holds the atomizer in place quite firmly.

I've been using this setup for about 2 weeks now to connect to a 3x AA nimh battery box and haven't had a single problem.
