    Default My newest Mod - Kinda sorta inspired by the Jantystick

    My latest creation! If you've seen the pre-release photos of the Jantystick you'll see it's somewhat similar in shape, although I've had the idea in my head for a while. The parts involved are...

    DSE901 atomizer - my last good one until order comes in.
    2 AA battery holder w/ wires.
    tactile switch from defunct $1 laser pointer.
    3.6v lithium ion battery taken from a Panasonic electric shaver that I don't really care for - I bought the shaver with my employee discount, and it will still work so no loss.

    I couldn't wait any longer for my new AA (or 14500) batteries and charger from dealextreme.com so I took the battery out of that shaver. The good news is I can still reinsert the battery, because it was not soldered or otherwise permanently installed in the shaver. I can charge it when neccesary, and it only takes one hour to charge. I am assuming it is 750mah, since most other batteries of similar size are, mine doesn't indicate capacity. I had to hard-wire the atomizer in there as I have no dead DSE901 batts to sacrifice. It was just a matter of adding a jumper wire in place of the 2nd battery, and soldering the red and black wires that came on the battery box through the switch and to the atomizer, and pack the switch and atomizer in hot glue to keep 'em steady. Vapes GREAT. It's nice and compact, very light, the switch takes a little more effort to push versus other switches I have used, so there is less risk of it activating whilst in my pocket. I think this is my favroite mod yet. I'm dying to try this out with an M401 atomizer, but they're a little too small to hard-wire in like this, so Version 2 will come about once one of my M401 batteries die, or I get a dead one from a gracious Forum member, (hint hint, I will PAY for dead M401 and DSE901 batts) so I can affix the battery connector through a hole the box, epoxy it in place, and be able to swap atomizers without the soldering iron.

    This is a very easy mod, ordering the batteries and charger is simple. The switch is very common, and I have no shortage of solder and tools so, anyone who is soldering iron challenged, and who may be interested in a similar mod, drop me a line. I could make them to order, penstyle, DSE901/RN4075, supermini, M401, etc. all I'd need is a battery to sacrifice for it's connector, and you'd be able to swap out atomizers just like on your own e-cig

    Sorry if the pics are fuzzy, I just can't seem to focus this camera on close-ups. I got it second-hand with no instructions

    EDIT: I should note, that the battery holder DOES have a cover on both sides. It's not normally open like in the third pic. Just wanted to show all of you the guts.

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

    This is a very impressive-looking mod. Great stuff!

    How much user time do you think you'll get from a charge?

    Nice work!

    Nice Job on the mod. I'm looking into something like this but instead of the switch part I'm going to mount a manual switch from a kissbox to the battery box and screw atomizers to that, this way the internals will be a simple solder from battery to kb switch and done. I love the changeable battery design. Keep on modifying.

    Where did you get the battery box you are using?

    Thanks guys. I'm working on the run-time, I just finished it at around 3:00pm today, and it's 6:20 now. Each puff as good as the first. Compare it to a DSE901 at 180mah, mine at 700mah or so, I'd have to say 6-7 hours of good vaping. The box came from The Source, electronics store.
    Cheese graters could also be marketed and sold as sponge ruiners. Think about it.

    but instead of glueing the atomiser,try glueing 1/3 of a battery with threads.
    this way the atomizer would be easy exchangeable/removeable.
