    Default Suck at soldering? Try this.

    Something I found as I was looking around at ThinkGeek.com. I think I might get some, as I haven't soldered anything in over 25 years, and I wasn't good at it back then.

    i can see keeping some handy while traveling also. so what if you're a thousand miles from your home and all your tools. fix that broken connection or slap together a quick mod before you crash for the night and wake up ready for the road. heck, i can see spreading that stuff straight onto a piece of plastic and using it as a wire or even batt contacts.

    Some very good points.

    If anything, it might be good to just add to your modding arsenal.

    I have some silver conductive epoxy.

    It does come in handy sometimes.
    No e-beer yet, so I'll just keep drinking :)

    I came across that stuff a while back and when looking into it I found this:
    electro-tech-online. com/general-electronics-chat/85955-found-wire-glue.html (sorry, can't post links yet)

    I'm not saying this wouldn't work as I've not tried it, but given that it has a resistance 500000x higher than copper, and a short connection could add around 1 ohm to the circuit, I think it wouldn't work well in the long run and could drastically change the quality of your vape. I think making a "wire" out of it by putting it on plastic or something could create a wire with a relatively high resistance and would be right out.

    With that said, I think gluing two metal discs together to make a disc shaped resistor to regulate 7.2v -> 5.0v/6.0v or 6.0v -> 5.0v. Each could be custom made and would hopefully handle a large amount of power to make this a safe and easy way to reduce voltage to the atty. Plus, changing the vapor characteristics would be as simple as adding/removing a resistor disc to adjust the voltage.

    I may have to get some and try to make some 0.5-1 ohm 10w resistor discs to experiment with...

    Depending on how good of a glue it it, could be just the thing for gluing battery threads into various mods....
