    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    I believe the cell batts are unprotected - the phone circuit board carries the protection for it. To wire up a USB attachment is simple. To do it safely is not at all simple. When li-ion batteries are overcharged or recharged after being overdischarged, the results can be explosive and...

    Thank you for being a playful soul. I so needed that smile you just gave me. It takes a while to get the hang of just how much pressure is needed to cut through only the insulation and not the wire, especially with the smaller wires.

    Oh darn, I missed the nibbling:evil: Seriously though, I have used kitchen knives, the sharp edge of scissors, a boxcutter, a pocketknife, whatever is available. Just please don't use duct tape or WD40 in your mods. I might then have to put you in the Hillbilly category in my mind. That...

    Wow, Wildsky. Did you solder that or hubby? That is one nice clean soldering job. Wanna come do mine?

    Shipping does not change much between shipping 3 items and shipping 10. It might make your per piece cost lower - just a thought.

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Cell phone batteries have been used in other mods. The difficult thing with cell phone batteries is that you have to find a way to charge them. The circuitry inside cell phones contains intricate stuff to protect the battery. I do not know enough to put all that in a mod, so would have to have a...

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    A regular 901 battery is 180 mAh. 2600mAh should last 14.4 times as long as a regular 901 battery. So a day and a half maybe 2 days. Oh, forgot. That is the battery I was speaking of.

    The 3ml bottles from USPlastics or Juicy Liquid fit quite nicely in the battery slots. Maybe an atty, a battery, and 2 liquids - a day's worth of vaping in a neat little box.;)

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    Wow, great work Wildsky! That looks wonderful for a fourth try, but a first try, unbelievable. If you are superanxious to try it out you can spend $20 at Rat Shack for 1 Saft 14500 battery that is not rechargeable. You could also put regular batteries in a 4xAA box and clamp the wires from that...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    MoonMan is absolutely correct. Wiring in series raises the voltage. Wiring in parallel raises the capacity. SmuckFog, a regular battery is usually only 180mAh. 2100 mAh should last you more than ten times as long. You should be pretty well set there. My guess would be about a day and a half...

    I need box help!

    The wiring looks good. Until you get some solder, you could try putting your black wire between the lock washer and the nut and then tightening the nut down really snug. This would make the nut carry your negative connection. The previous poster was correct. 3volts will just barely power an...

    Vaping PS3 controller

    Wow, great job Garry. I bet the Puresmoker guys will love this. I think you said it still works, that you can play and vape with the same controller simultaneously. That rocks. Love the video and the choice for musical interlude - a personal favorite of mine.

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    I am putting this project on hold briefly. It is becoming apparent to me that I need to start even more basic than this. It seems there are MANY people here now who have missed the basic information about wiring battery mods. I will go do a thread about the basics for them so that they can work...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    I've done it. You have to dismantle a 510 battery for the connector. Positive wire goes to the center part. Negative wire goes to the outer part. All other wiring is the same.

    Eastmall Liquid Review

    555 is a nutty tobacco flavor. A little sweeter than most tobacco. Like a calmer RY4, IMO anyhow. I really like it mixed with my fruit flavors. I haven't tried Hilton or Kent yet. Don't know that I care to really. I am in love with the fruits and beverages flavors. Coffee has a tobacco like feel...

    Rick, could you please go spew your anger and resentment elsewhere? This thread is about a mod, not laws or importation or anything else.

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Ok, folks. I have a small bit of bad news for ya. The Radio Shack version of the size AA boxes are not as easily remedied as the size AAA boxes were. With time and imagination and some skill with hand tools, it can be worked around, but I do not have the patience or time to do it, take pictures...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Disclaimer: I did not think to take pics as I did the New and Improved version, so I will be using pics from the one I did have the foresight to document step by step. The pics will show a smaller box and a smaller battery and a smaller switch. The wiring does not change at all. For those of you...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    The wires are the 6" leads that were part of the original box. They are stranded. I did try solid wire in my Magnum mods and it only complicated it as the wire was so stiff it was hard to bend it into those tight quarters. I was using bell wire then (the smallest solid I could find). As for...
