MADOG....congratulations on showing us the "how to" video,
are you thinking of selling theese..and if so at what price range?
I am shure (hope) i am not the only one interested.

You are sooooo not the only one interested.

Exactly. This is an area with one monopoly vendor with one monopoly price. I would love to see competition - not just for the price, but also models, shapes: Many are nicer than the monopoly one.

Thanks to maddogs video I have made a similar model, have a look at the link below

Yet another Torch Mod for DSE901 Atomiser

Nicowolf While you are building your soldering skills I will add a few pointers.

Tinning. The idea is to heat both the contact and solder together so the solder sticks to the connection. This is done to both parts that are to be soldered together. Then put them together and heat again. This way the solder melts on both connections and joins. Avoid the fresh joint moving while it cools. Have a practice on odd bit's of wire and your old charger.

If you are putting two connections together without tinning them 1st you will not have much luck.

My easiest way to remove battery connections from 901 batteries is to soak the connecter end in a little hot water for 20 seconds or so then proceed with Maddogs method off using an atomiser and wiggle it about. Comes out without a struggle.

Thanks, Spyder. I have not given up yet. Tinning the wires does help. I am wondering about soldering paste. I here there are some that have solder in the flux, so you could, theoretically use that on tinned wires? I have gotten quite good at tinning, but joining them once they're tinned, needs more practice.

Well, a friend and I made the Magnum with only slight changes. One change we made was put a real small epice of electrical tape under the spring so as to not risk shorting it out. Another we tried(and wasn't too bad) was instead was used 3 AAA rechargeable batteries. Ni-MH AAA 1.2V 900mAh. Not too bad. Going to try the PVC tube and bigger battery to compare. But as not having that at the moment we made do. Everything else was pretty much the same. Getting the button in and glued was a HUGE pain in the you know what..

Thanks MadDog for the video. Was very helpful.

Madog,

I'm really interested in atomizer longevity. You said you'd been using the same atomizer on your Magnum for 2 months with no cleaning -- I'd be interested to know, to what do you attribute that long atomizer life? Do you think the higher voltage produces a "cleaner" burn that leaves less residue?

finally got around to making a flashlight mod. the flashlight i used is almost identical to the ones bastage used. been using it for a week and have been really happy with the 900mah 14500 batteries.
it definitely is more practical than my first (cordless telephone) mod. lol

thanks maddog, bastage, everyone who has been posting mods!

Good job! What's the blue stuff you have the battery connector mounted on?
