    What is that little switch rated for in terms of volts and amps?

    SWITCH
    SparkFun Electronics - Momentary Push Button Switch - 12mm Square
    I checked it out on line, but they don't list the specs.

    Yes, no specs on it, i ordered 20 of those about 1 month ago and have been using them ever since with not one problem on my mods, including this 6V and also on a pass through that i plug into a 6V or a 4.5 wall power adapter.
    Being so cheap, i gave it a shot and so far so good. Light years from that little 6 x 6 they sell at radio sharks that always seem to fail after you worked for 30 minutes installing it on your mod just to find out it does not work any more

    Default The mini altoids box mod

    Since i didn't want to add more to the 3 million unnecessary threads that come in the forum everyday, i just added here since it is "related"

    This was a fun project to do with a 14500, 900mAh battery.










    have fun

    I bet you could disassemble the mouthpiece and fit it all inside the box, almost!

    Nice work!

    Ah so that's how those switches work lol. The stop both currents.

    Nice box mod! It's original!

    Also someone wanting to learn how to solder. The biggest trick is getting the solder on the wire. Don't get solder on your tip, and then put it on the wire.

    Roll your wire tight with your figure tips. Then hold the tip of the gun on the wire, and let the wire heat up. When the wire hits the soldering melting point the solder will just run to it, and it will soak it up. Cut off the top, and down a little bit(so it's not really long. Then just tap the wire with your gun were your soldering it onto. sometimes you will need to heat up the other side a little too.

    With chips(just say computer chips). It's good to use a copper tube(with a end on it) on top of the chip to chase the heat away while your doing it.


    Didn't want to take the thunder away from this mod.

    GREAT WORK WARP!

    Thanks mnealtx, yes you are right , it would almost fit all inside, i just don't do it anymore because i don't want to deal with juice leaks and such, but it would be really stealth hehe.



    Thank you also DaMulta.

    A little dab of flux paste will help the solder wick into the wire, as well.

    Since many got very confused with so much stuff i included in my first thread, i will be doing some individual parts in different threads. For those that didn't see that thread...

    The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

    i have not seen a box mod that can carry 6V , i might be wrong because there is so many mods around i could have missed it. I know there are other altoids mods out there , but don't remember any with 6V.

    So here are the pics...






    And thank you once again to kinabaloo for help posting the pics.
    These are cr2123A batteries? Aren't they 3.7 volts each? I am confused.

    Yes indeed it is very confusing.
    Turns out they make CR1234 on 3.0 and 3.7v.
    Why call them the same?, it really exceeds my capacity of understanding.

    This are 3.0v each

    On the table i included on the MYTHS thread, it shows all of them.

    Ya know what? Ultrafire makes 3.7 volt CR2 size batteries too. Another one to add to the list and confuse people!

    Cheese graters could also be marketed and sold as sponge ruiners. Think about it.
