I would recommend against trying to use a paper clip as a switch! RUn down to radio shack and get you a few cheap pushbutton switches. I'm going to make a much better version of this as soon as I get a chance (the ghetto mod is working just fine so no rush), I'll post up pics when available. Good luck doing your USB mod. I'd like to know how it turns out so post up when you're done. -J

Thanks for the video. I originally envisioned being able to extract the battery and using the existing pressure switch but its all to tightly packed for any such hopes but the way you did it.
I made one of these but with me being the switch (plug/unplug manually), until I Can solder one up.

.......... has these for $15 +20shipping for us US buyers.

Its defiantly cheaper to DIY until puresmoker.com or one of of our US suppliers starts to stock them.

I'm really excited about this one! Only been at this two weeks or so, and I'm already tired of changing/charging bats at work. Since I write code for a living. I'm always at my computer...

I hope Cash gets them sooner rather than later...

BTW - I really like the length of the USB cable that is pictured in the above post. Hope it's for real.

I'll still use my home made cables, as I like the manual switch more... but this is a great product for people who can't make their own cables.

the .......... one frankly sucks. Just my two cents.

Thanks Rat. I was really close to buying one. I've seen how you love good vape, and if you say it sucks, I'll wait for something better.

I may be building some more with manual switches, still trying to determine price point and what it's going to cost me to make them. I've never used an .......... cable so I can't comment on them, but the ones I make don't suck. They won't be that cheap because they are hand built and it requires a battery to make them. Keep an eye out for a request thread...if I can get enough people committed to buying then I'll make some.

Exactly Rat, e-cig is a big Question mark for me as I've spoken to them about items on there site via the chat feature and they said they were out. Why does it say "In Stock" then?! Anyway, 1st thing I learned is never drop your e-cigarette as it can damage the pressure switch. It did give me an excuse to try this mod out though which is nice! For e-cig to put a usb cable behind that pressure switch scares me. While I would like a pressure switched USB option, I'd like to try a manual switch like you did B.

Well I gotta say thanks Bastage. Followed your directions and built a USB mod for myself. This thing absolutely rocks. Between you and Invidregis feeding my compulsion for new gadgets I have a feeling I'll be playing alot.
