    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    YEAH! We need some good, very basic stickied threads. A soldering basics, a battery mods basics, a wiring basics, etc. Each one with its own safety precautions. We also need a collaborative thread of modding tips and tricks.

    You stole the words right outta my keyboard. Mishaps are entertaining and many times informative. Hard knocks lessons can be shared and avoided by others. The best and the worst thing about the 'net is that you don't have to worry about what others think of you.

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Sometimes batteries require some cycling before they reach their true capacity. Glad to hear you have achieved vaping harmony. I find keeping the soldering iron clean makes helps - oh yeah, and lots of practice.;)

    We all have our moments, some of us just admit to them more freely.;)

    I voted zero. No one around here seems to have heard of them before I come along. When I try to explain it, I see lots of people just humoring me thinking it is just a gag or a fad - like the virtual pets. Those I know who are trying to quit smoking are still insisting upon using the patch which...

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    I spent hours the other day trying to figure out why a mod of mine was only producing weak vapor and only intermittently. I took it all apart and found a broken terminal on the switch, but still touching because of the epoxy. I rebuilt the entire thing and put the same battery back in to test...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    That is why you tin the wire and tin the contact on the switch before attempting to solder. Also, you want to have a good connection physically without solder as much as is humanly possible. That way the solder is only acting as an external mold that makes the connection more firm. Try not to...

    There are 17500 and 18500 batteries that are the same lenght as the 14500, but the diameter is bigger. They have a higher capacity (mAh), but the diameter makes it so the box won't close.

    Me too, but I gotta get to bed. My alarm clock goes off in 4 hours.:(

    Positive wire goes to the post that is on the left in this photo. Negative wire can either go directly to the threads, or to the post that is in the background in this picture (this is Apostle51's method and requires the solder bridge shown in my diagram photo above).

    Nope. It actually fits perfectly with the nut. I originally started taking it off when I was mounting my atomizer connector on the box instead of recessing it. The plastic from the box took up the same amount of space as the nut.

    For the switch you used, it does not make any difference which side is which. For the connector: Maybe this will help. For the 801, people are using a 1/4" Mono Jack and modifying it. Here is a link to a thread I started with another possibility...

    The info I offered here was incorrect, so nevermind this post.

    Actual 801/901 Connectors

    I would love to see if it is possible to get them without all the other crap attached to them. The Joye510 is a particular problem since it still doesn't have a workaround for the connector. DSE is a great start though.

    Those batteries you suggested are available locally at drugstores and department stores. You gotta look for the specialty batteries, but they are there. Those and the size N (are those 1/3 AA?).

    The most difficult part is learning to solder, and that is really fairly simple if you follow directions and keep trying. The folks here are really quite friendly and helpful. They have taken me from being a scaredy cat with no soldering iron in sight to posting instructions. You really can do...

    Most excellent suggestion Kinabaloo. You rock. Edit: It won't work after all. The voltage is too high.

    Welcome

    Ahhhh, Ikea. They make some of the best dykey stuff around. Multi-purpose, transformable, ecofriendly, AND I get to put it together myself. What more could a fellagirly ask for?

    I need box help!

    Something is wrong here. I have done a 3xAA mod with NiMH and a 3xAAA mod with NiMH. The AA was 2100 mAh and would last me a day and a half easy - I usually just charged them because I didn't want to push my luck and be stranded with dead batteries. The AAA was something like 800 mAh and would...
