    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Hi Rickstar. I am not the grammar police. If I can understand someone without giving myself a headache, I leave the grammar and spelling stuff alone. This is the internet after all, and we are trying to convey our ideas in a timely way - not consulting dictionaries and such. As for the content...

    My DIY - DSE901 - MAGNUM POWER

    LOL, then the wizardstick is the way to go, or maybe a fog machine. I gotta get to bed for real. I will be thinking about it at work tomorrow. Goodnight.

    My DIY - DSE901 - MAGNUM POWER

    I feel ya on the wallet thing. My checkbook hides when it sees me coming. Honestly, the 901 does quite nicely on 3 to 5 volts. At 5 volts I have noticed the burnt taste - my USB passthrough is now part of my FDA doomsday backup plan, for when I am desparate enough that the burnt taste might be...

    Great choice, Wildsky. Those batteries will work wonderfully. I will be sure to post the how to for putting a switch in the box too. I was debating about that, but if you are going to shop at RS because you can walk in and get it today, then you are going to need to know how to put in a kill...

    My DIY - DSE901 - MAGNUM POWER

    This is what I think you guys bought. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices This is what I bought. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices I caught it on sale. It gave me that extra half inch to play with. The top part actually screws off so you can...

    My DIY - DSE901 - MAGNUM POWER

    Wow Panderson those are some mad drawing skills. The set up looks great. Have you tried a roomier flashlight body? I got one at Harbor Frieight that left me a little room to play with. It is slightly larger than the one Madog used but the build feels better to me and it is roomier. I will go dig...

    Maybe we could do a thread where we all contribute our tips and tricks for general modding stuff and our cautions and warnings and hard knocks lessons.

    Oooooh, that is a great idea! Are you heading up the committee? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Seriously though, it is a good idea.

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    You folks around here are all so supportive. You make these things labors of love, really:wub:. I feel a stronger sense of community here sometimes than I do in my own apartment. The parts list is complete and posted. My intention is to post the entire pictorial instructions just like in the...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    I have not seen a protected CR2 anywhere yet. The Cr123A is very close in size (about 1mm larger in diameter and about 7mm longer). If you can find a way to make your battery area about 14mm longer, you can use the CR123A. This is one of the reasons I never went to CR2 with my Magnum mods. I...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    This time I will go through the parts list more thoroughly and provide links since the parts are from more than one place. The box came from Battery Space. Battery holder: 2 x AA Covered Battery Holder with On-Off Switch - RoHS Compliant - BB2AA It already has a kill switch in it and does not...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Thank you both soooooo much for your support in this. In my zeal to make the smallest mod I could dream up, I neglected the battery safety issue. I posted and instructed a mod using an unprotected cell. Now, there are people in the world with Shortcutters' Disease (I was among them), who will...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Here is a side by side comparison of the New NicoStick and the previous version. Both have the kill switch. Both have the recessed atomizer. The size of the box and the battery have gone up to accomodate a PROTECTED battery ( I keep using all caps because that word is extremely...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    In light of the responses I have received both on the forum and in private messages, I have decided to revamp the NicoStick and its ECF thread. Safety has become a concern of mine and I feel it is my duty to incorporate safety into any instructions I give. So without any further ado, let me...

    still tinkering

    Billy, I am so glad you explained the tubing thing. I kept looking at that thing trying to figure out how you could vape one of those, or two, without getting an atomizer up your nose. Then I thought, maybe somebody thinks they can get more vapor by using their nose too, but how would they keep...

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    Thanks, Kinabaloo. That means a lot from you. I have had a little devil on my shoulder for a while now telling me to take one of those batteries apart to see what makes it work:evil:. I just keep reminding myself that everytime I take something apart to find out how it works, I really just...

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    None of us knew what the we were doing when we learned to walk and talk either. We just imitated what we observed, made some mistakes - some of them painful - and learned from our mistakes. We are doing the exact same thing here except we have the advantage of having language to help us share...

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    Thanks Jim. I am still learning too. I am completely lost when these guys get to talking about thermistors and resistors and capacitors and such. So far, I can solder awkwardly, I can wire a switch, and I can make a very simple circuit with no change in voltage. That Magnum mod was a bear and my...

    My latest mod, inspired by all of you.

    ANY implication of anyone being stupid is NOT intended. There seems to be a school of thought that says "I'll just read the HOW TOs, throw something together with the cheapest stuff I can find, and I won't need to participate, read forums, learn anything about the device, etc.". I will not go...
