    Shotgun mod in a neat case

    Well, I'm not claiming to have come up with the "shotgun" name...I'v heard others on this forum use the term. As an update, after using this for a bit, one of the nice (though unexpected) features of this mod is that I have to refill carts less often. Instead of having to swap out a cart...

    Just did my first modification on the VK

    Will the battery still fit in a PCC, now?

    Ouch. Sorry to hear about that. At least now you have the fun of rebuilding!

    need a cheap 18650 bat charger...

    1x18650 charger $4.30 -- This is the cheapest I could find, and it's going to be very slow. 2x18650 charger $5.80 -- Only a bit more, and it will charge a whole lot faster, as well as charging two at a time. All in one charger $8.70 -- Good for a whole range of lithium-ion batteries...

    Starting to think I have a problem....

    I thought I was feeling a bit under the weather... Thanks! Whatever skill I have comes as a result of many, many failures and injured fingers. Nice lineup, there. I was just taking batteries out of old cell phones and using them in my mods, but you went and used the whole thing! Wild.

    Starting to think I have a problem....

    This all happened in the last 6 weeks or so, and it's not even counting the ones I made, then scrapped for parts: (I made the pink one for the wife. Don't doubt my masculinity.) I'm no longer a cigarette addict, now I'm a modding addict. Anybody else? Show me your collection!

    Shotgun mod in a neat case

    I did this unintentionally, because I grabbed an atomizer/cart with 555, and another with orange creamsicle. Actually didn't taste bad at all.

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    Well, they're not ruined. In my mod, I didn't even use the USB port...I just soldered the battery to the bottom of the board where the stock battery goes, and then back out from those points to the switch/atomizer/etc. So you could still use them for that. On the one I'm working with now, I...

    Shotgun mod in a neat case

    During my recent move, I found an emergency Palm charger lying around that I thought would be great for modding. It's essentially a 4xAA box, but the batteries are arranged 2x2, rather than 4x1, so it fits very nicely in the hand, even though it's a bit large. It also has a battery door, so that...

    First Magnum Type Mod

    Nice work. It looks tough. Tough as in badass, not tough as in durable.

    17500 Battery Anyone used it?

    What Vendo said. If they made a 21500 or 22500, I'd order a dozen without blinking.

    Recommended MosFet for 5v mods

    Don't laser pointers have a tactile switch and mosfet on a PCB? Shouldn't you just be able to pick up a laser pointer at the dollar store and use that? I'm not telling, I'm asking. Seems like a good way to get it all in a nice small package for almost nothing.

    Very nice work! I'd actually been thinking about using a cigar tube, so it's great to see it applied.

    Laser Pointer mod Guide

    No, it runs on a 3.7v lithium-ion 10440 battery. You're right, a standard AAA would not be enough.

    Help with flashlight mod

    Just to clarify, what do you mean when you say you are using one 10440 battery in the original holder? Do you mean that you have a single 10440 in one of those 3xAAA cylinders? Because if that's what you mean, that's your problem right there. Those are set up in serial, and having only one...

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    Huh...nope...mine's definitely not conductive. I just pulled out the multimeter to test it. Must be a different model. Those are awesome! What are they and where do I buy them?

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    I didn't shorten the spring. I figured it would be entirely compressed anyway, so there would be nothing to be gained by it.
