Introducing The NEWMAN'S OWN MOD

[Digital-Dragon]

Thanks lilith, the dragon is my favorite also. I have been using the first one I made exclusively for months. I take it everywhere I go, and it's still in great shape except for the writing on the back of the tin is mostly worn away, but the front picture is still in great shape. I'll post more pics. I'm working on different versions of these, which have mini/micro usb charging and a built in protection circuit, and maybe also vv and bottom feeder. I'll post pics of those soon also. I'm not trying to sell anything at this point, I may look into becoming a vendor at some point. The reason for the thread is about how Newman's and Altoids lids are interchangeable.

Right on, I've been making tin mods for over a year now, glad to see its catching on.

Those are really nice. I love the lids and the color coordinated buttons.

Thanks guys. I still use the first one I made, my avatar, I like how it's a little worn. Though as of about a week ago I've started using my new usb charging tin mod! Looks the same but has micro usb port. No more having to take the battery out to charge, I'm loving it. I'll post pics when I get a second.

Btw, have one of the new empiremods dual coil 306's on it right now, it totally rocks. My diy ginger juice is giving me new flavors.

what connector are you using? i have tried both the shorty 510 with a nut and the normal 510 connector from madvapes but both seem to evently go loose and start spinning. right now i have to use pliers to hold the connector when i want to change atomizer/cartos. btw i have used both jb kwik and epoxy but both give and im not over tightening at all

[Digital-Dragon]

You can use hot glue or super glue. I use a putty epoxy like quicksteel on all of mine, on the advice of thepuck.

I'm getting ready to follow DD's lead on this, and have a half dozen dragon tins. I'm wondering if you guys have tried the industrial strength Loctite on the threads? My plan for mine was to Loctite the threads with with the blue stuff it takes a torch to get off, then either epoxy or quicksteel over that. Maybe I'll solder the nut down as well.

Hope it works.

Awesome Tins. I am going to attempt to build a 3.7v bottom feed tin and your mods are motivation

Hey Digital,

Are you using your tin as the negative connection, and the switch as the activator? Im trying to figure out the schematics of powering up my tin and want to be exclusively mechanical.

Thanks for your time
