G120 Batterybox mod , not my own design ;)

[Kelemvor]

just a quick and very dirty work, as mentioned the original is made by scherdel from the german e-rauchen-forum.

i think, the detail is not really that useful and the interior is not something to be shown proudly, because i just got one of these G120 cartomizers for free from a very nice guy. i was really over nervous to build this vaping beast.

base is the 18650 battery storage box from http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18074

the switch is one that is used on lots of boxmods i saw, from an electronic store in my city.

the DC jack for the atomizer connection is from conrad electronics in germany.
i think i found something similar here:
PANEL MOUNT DC POWER JACKS - ME978

its the 980 in the table with 1.3mm centerpin, i bet you know where to get them in your neighborhood.

i think i haven't seen much G120 ( VR4 in germany ) around these modding board.
so a little pic explains more i think


all in all its a massive vaping machine which holds ~4ml liquid in its cart
and the atomizer is easily cleaned, because you can pop it out of its shell and drop it overnight in CC and brush the crud with a toothbrush away.

inside the plastic cap is the really big depot which is refilled easily.

in this youtube video Scherdel shows how to get inside the cartomizer:

sorry, german language only, i don't know of an english version.
but the video is relatively self explaining... at least i think that

i'm not that good in english, so i have a nice excuse to not do a step by step guide

Very nice. 4ml and a decent battery.

wow, I don't think I had seen a cigar like that used in a mod before, very interesting and the 18650 complements your mod.

Great job Kelemvor, yes, a vaping beast is the right description.

I'm just not sure if that is a disposable cigar?, since I've never had a cigar of any type, I'm not sure.

Thank you for posting the video, it was quite interesting to watch and see that little SD turned into a LONG lasting juice machine


Now you got me thinking on even more mods to make

[Kelemvor]

yes these are greencig G120 disposable cartomizers, but reusable battery.
not the greencig disposable cigar G100, i haven't one of these until now. but they atomizer could be similar / same.

igetcha did a review on the G120 cigar already. its the same atomizer technology that the other greencig carts use, only bigger and with shorter resistance.

the atomizers mostly only degenerate because the long haired wicks breaks more and more over time, and with each decomposition of the cartomizer.
but still, they work sometimes longer than generic atomizers.


btw, scherdel used until now a drill to get the insides out, but a few days ago he pirced right through his little finger using that.

i would suggest using something other like a small Hex key

[Col. Gaunt]

Can you tell me where I could find some blank g120 carts please.

[Kelemvor]

that should be Cigar Atomizer Pack Xhigh Strength Only - NHaler

at this high prices, i would split a pack with someone else. 3 carts hold really a very long if they are cleaned and refilled.

i use my 1st 2 carts now for 3 weeks, and they are only cleaned once.

in the EU you have to look for the Vinirette VR4 Cigar, its the same thing.

Excllent post and I like the mod keep up the great work!!!!

[Kelemvor]

a little correction, the usable amount of liquid is ~2.5ml.
filling more leds to weaker performance and gurgling noises.

[Kelemvor]

just a reply, because i still think most people are not getting whats so very special about those cartomizers.

i uploaded a few pics of a decomposed VR4 / G120 to show how easy these are to clean and reuse. some may even replace the fibres and coils easier than with any other atomizer.

the parts:




the coil, see what i mean with easy to clean ?




Originall VR4 / G120 vs Mod Shell with Cigar Mouthpiece



again but this time on BullyXtreme VR4 and cheap Modbox



ok, that was my little teasing update to the most underrated cartomizer

[satoshi]

Kelemvor, what would happen if you just stuck a syringe in the mouthpiece end to deliver juice? It's a cool setup, but I'd be scared of damaging the expensive cartomizer trying to mimic what Scherdel does in that video.

I figure I would still get more use out of the cartomizer that way even if I didn't worry about opening and cleaning the coil.

I want to try an e-cigar, was thinking the 701/4062 but this looks cooler.
