I've spent quite some time making this e-pipe. My intention was to make it function and feel as much like a real pipe as possible. I hope people like it - I had a bit of fun making the video too... ...

I've built a touch switch following Scubabatdan's instructions. I've used a IRF8736PbF mosfet and regular 47k and 10Mohm resistors - running from a 3.7v battery. The problem I'm having is it runs 'on' all the time... there is a low level current when the touch points aren't being touched...

I've always wanted to make a mod that operates like a car does... once the ignition is turned on it 'idles over' - ready for the accelerator peddle to be pressed where it engages to becomes fully active. Not knowing a lot about electronics, it's impossible for me to approach such a project from...

Any modders looking for good quality, surgical steel, fine-threaded male/female, tubes (for end caps, etc) might want to check out 'flesh tunnels'. These jewellery items are used by people wanting to gradually widen a hole in their ears (!!! - don't ask). They come in a great range of sizes -...

It's getting really bad... now I'm even modding the new ECF logo!!

I'm thinking of trying a 'delay off' function on a mod I'm building. That is, when the momentary button is released the atty will continue functioning for 4 seconds - before switching off (or, ideally, fading out) Reading around on the net, I understand that a simple resistor/capacitor circuit...

No one seems to have attempted a mod using induction charging yet. Here's an effort I've built - with a 650mAh battery in an adapted lighter for the PV and a base made from a CD jewel case front. In the video, the PV is using a 510 dual-coil carto. Just tossing the PV down on its base station...

Well, I invested in a new web cam... so here's a video I've made of my latest mod...

Here's a mod based on Raidy's famous design, and yet the finished thing is narrower than a real cigarette!... even though it is built to give the full Genesis vaping experience. What's more, changing the nichrome coil is as quick and easy as threading a needle. And no soldering is required to...

If I have two unconnected 3.7v batteries, is it possible to wire up the + terminal on one and the - terminal on the other to power up an atty? If not, why not? I did say it was a silly question :P Cheers.

I have been working on an easy way to make WTA juice to mix down with PG or VG. What I did: 1. I heated up 12.5g tobacco with water and a pinch of sodium carbonate. The solution was very runny when mixed together. 2. I let it sit for a few hours and then strained off the juice through a...

Here's a very easy and lightweight mod I made a while ago. It's for any standard atty and makes your device look exactly like a real cigarette. Ideal for using out in public places, or whenever you just want to remind yourself of what having an analogue between your fingers is like. This mod...

When we watch people smoke analogues - and remember our own smoking days - it quickly becomes apparent that cigarettes are almost always held with the lit end tilted upwards from a horizontal position when not being smoked. Likewise, when people take a puff on a cigarette, more often than not...

Here's my latest mod... El ......! It's only 6mm diameter, and just 60mm long. It weighs next to nothing (like an analogue) and it puffs like there's no tomorrow. A roll-up would be hard pressed to come in any smaller. Has a lovely smokey ash end too! Clint would be proud :)

I've found this interesting-looking cheap touch switch IC... HobbyTronics | HobbyTronics Touch Switch IC Can someone please explain to a electronics-diagram total novice how the wiring would work shown in this diagram. It can be configured for momentary or latch operation and has two...

Introducing - The Bar Fly... (shown next to a regular Bic - for scale) One of the things I miss most about an analogue is just holding it in whatever position feels natural... rolling around between my fingers, flipping it between fingers and thumb - all those gestures which just seemed to go...

I want to remove the USB plug from the end of my passthrough and solder the wire ends directly onto a 5v battery pack terminals. The M401 passthrough uses a green and blue wire and I believe the auto cigarette part has a miniature circuit which reduces the incoming current to 3.7v (which suits...

I'd like to find a really flexible wire to use for a 3.7v passthrough mod. Thinner the better. It wont be very long - about 2.5 feet. Is it possible to use the kind of 1mm wire that comes on headphones (that would be perfect)? I read that silicone coated wire is very flexible - but I'm not...

I've been looking at all the mod boxes and some of them are great. How are the batteries in these boxes recharged? Does the box have to be opened, the batteries taken out and placed in a recharging unit? Or can the boxes be recharged through the atomiser connector (using the original ecig's...

Great forum. Just coming up to my 7th day of smoke-free vaping (1st time in 20 years!!) I bought a 'MiLi power miracle' USB portable power supply to use with my automatic passthrough on my 401. (beebuyer.com/product/411210-MiLi-HB-B20-2000mAh-External-Power-Miracle-Battery-for-3G-3GS)...
