The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

warp -

i have a suggestion on how to make the adaptors smaller.



Take off all the plastic. Join (solder) the atty socket to the RCA as closely as possible. Then use magic putty (epoxy putty) to fill the space and make a nice round finish.

This stuff begins to set after a few minutes and is usably strong in 1/2 hour.

When I say 'all', probably need to keep the ring on the RCA but can cut off all the threaded part, and don't then need the cover.

Great idea kina, how about you show us some pics of it when you are done?
I already have more adapters than i need, and they are working perfect, that was the purpose of my "creation", to forget about having to deal with connectors every time we build a new mod.
The only thing i will probably try in the near future is getting a 510 (so much buzz about it) and build an RCA adapter for it.
I really hope people catch on on this soon, it has saved me so many headaches and as you have seen has given me the chance to extend my options far beyond what i imagined before.

I'm sure it will work

That putty stuff is not quite rock, but it would give a stronger unit. But the main point would be to get the adaptor as short as possible. < 1cm should be possible.

Thanks, warp...I appreciate the pics and the links.

oh, I need a parts list for all this stuff.... please. Do you get it at radio shack? Where do the little black boxes come from? Questions and more questions. I and my hubby will try to make one.

Here's a link to how to build, and recommendations for parts (exclusive of warp's RCA parts, listed above):

How to build the Nicostick

[franklyspeaking]

I just stumbled upon this. Very nice idea!!! I love the dual 18650 power pack. I think running two of these and stepping it down to 5 volts would be a great idea.

stepping down the voltage...
Has anyone been able to come up with a way for doing it for real.
Any realistic approach?

[mnealtx]

Probably some sort of power diode to drop the volt.

Another way would be to read the resistance and the current draw of the atomizer and put an appropriately sized resistor inline.

Thank you very much for this idea. I finished my first mod today and it uses this method (as will anything else I build). I just wanted to say thanks and post pics to show off your idea at work.

Below is a copy of what I posted at VF (pasting instead of linking because I dont know how a link would be taken here):

I finally got my first mod finished. I have been messing with flashlights for a week and without tools kept failing. I have been drilling holes with a sharpened screwdriver while everyone in #vapors irc channel laughs at me. I finally splurged on a cheap soldering iron, hot glue gun and a flashlight just like the maddog vids show. I followed most of his tutorial which surprisingly is very much like what I had started doing on my own before this. My main problem was that I was using a different type of flashlight and no soldering iron.

Overall it went well the second time around and it works, although it needs some airholes because I get almost no air through it. My button worked great until I put it in the case and now you can barely feel the click when you press it. I am overall pleased with the way the rca connector is working and still need to pull it apart and solder it up.

Now for some pics (large on purpose, wanted you to see detail).
