Have you chosen the musical score for the next video Bastage?

Maybe this time I'll actually explain stuff! haha

Now why would you go and ruin it Bast? I thought the guessing part was the most fun part!

This is all great stuff people I'm begining to understand.

Well my first battery version is actually looking quite good now that the batteris are inside a 2oz tobacco tin and the adaptor has been reworked for the cable to exit properly. My next version will use more batteries but with the output held at 3.6 volts and I'm hoping to use the auto switch because at the moment the switch is mounted on the tobacco tin so require two handed operation but it sure beats the normal e-cig batteries. The problem is that those micro switches are not really able to handle the current in long term use so I intend to do some electronic switching. so the switch can operate at low current, the atomiser at high current, safety cutouts etc, once I have perfected it you will see plenty of pictures but for now, I'm sorry you'll just have to wait.

I wonder if anybody would be interested in making a few of these to sell to those of us who aren't as technically minded as the rest of you.

PS I don't have a dead battery ( yet )
..or a soldering iron
..or a pair of needle nose pliers

..or the ability to use them..hehe

..I could get my hands on a switch from my CD drive though..now where's that hammer ?

You said it, Toastie. It would be really cool if someone would do this mod and then sell us the battery.

I get in enough trouble for spending money on e-cig stuff. If I were to throw in electronics parts and tools and still more mess on my desk, I might be widowed by heart attack while chastising the spendaholic.

I could easily justify spending a little extra on a part that has already been modified.

it is coming ........

I might just have a solution - For our solder fearing friends - And It is NOT going to require - "KILLING" a battery for parts. Hopefully I will be able to upload the whole thing tomorrow. I know - "What a Tease"

Well, that'll be interesting! The main reason I don't want to build one from a flashlight case is the size. I've got 2 3.7v 2500Mah 18650 batteries being shipped now, I see that they are bigger than AA so that rules out most conventional electronic devices to be used as a tube. One of the main concerns about my newest idea is that the battery wouldn't be easily replacable so...I can either make one too big or make a small one that needs to be torn apart and rebuilt when the battery needs to be replaced. Until I build a new one I'm trying to find the smartest way to do it to maintain small size and still be able to pop out the battery easily if needed. I think the 18650 battery as a power source is a good start. I'm really glad other people on the forum are also pitching in their ideas - I think it just makes this "hobby" better sharing these ideas. Someone could take my USB mod and say wow I like it but maybe this will be better... then it eventually turns into something really good. Lets keep it up. The better and easier to use my ecig is, the less likely I am to smoke cancer sticks. That's one of the main reasons I got into tinkering and trying to make the ecig more reliable and easier to deal with. Looking forward to seeing what you're working on madog.
