My first mod using a 6v lantern battery, a mini led flashlight and rca connectors and cable!

The 6volt secret:
6 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Amazed! - Video

Has anyone tried this? If this really works I'll be making a trip to walmart soon. lol

That video is a hoax. 6 volt lantern batteries usually contain 4 D, or 4 F sized cells (same diameter as a D, but longer). Their mah capacities range from 10,000 (cheapie carbon-zinc) up to 26,000 for alkaline. They also make double wide lantern batteries that have up to 52,000 mah.

I'd guess, though, that because of the relatively high internal resistance of these kind of cells, when used for a PV, the usable amount of capacity would be much less. I'd figure on a carbon-zinc lantern battery giving power for about 3 to 5 days of moderate to heavy vaping, twice that for alkaline.

On the other hand, a mod using 3 or 4 D sized NIMH cells (much better for high current use, like powering a PV), would last a good week's moderate to heavy vaping, before needing to be charged again. And with their huge capacity, they would delivery very steady current, even for long drags.

I've been considering building such a beast.

Ive used a lantern battery in a pinch, it lasted me about a week before the voltage was down to an unusable 3v. Its quite easy, a rubber band and 2 wires works great. Rubber band to hold the atty down, one wire jammed into the center hole the other touched to the outside to get a hit.

A hefty paper clip works too...twist it around the spring and you can swivel the atty into the other.

I happen to have a battery here...why? Who knows...but here's another "if you are in a pinch" pic

So, I'm sitting here looking at the Lil' Kawasaki quad my son got for Christmas...it says "6V" on the box...hmmm...

I wonder why people don't catch on after the Gagfilms screen on that video lol, I saw one where you can take a VCR apart an it has a Ipod blackberry ect inside.

My VW runs on a 6v battery, could probaby be set for life lol
