    Lithium batteries go boom... AGAIN… this one hurt!

    I’ve debated posting this for some time because honestly, I’m an idiot and I was asking for it but for the greater good, I will humbly accept my role in what happened. I originally posted my story of my exploding CR2 rechargeable lithium batteries in the Mod forum (currently a sticky) but I...

    Lithium battery failure = boom (I'm okay)

    I was sitting at home this morning happily vaping on my Magnum Box mod when all of a sudden it goes boom and gives off a small explosion with gas venting out of the box. It scared the crap out of me and I'm glad I wasn't injured. I made sure to get clear of the vapor immediately and once I...

    yet another mod... AA Magnum!

    After the headaches I had with my Detonator mod, I was a little wary of Madog's Magnum mod, but it went together extremely smoothly. I didn't feel like grinding down another piece of printed circuit board so I simply used the flashlight lens to mount the atomizer connector. Also the pvc tube I...

    CSPAN - Congressman from Indiana promoting harm reduction...

    I believe it was Congressman Steven Buyer from Indiana who was speaking and it was one of the few times that I actually watched CSPAN. He was proposing an alternative to the tobacco cessation bill and was also commenting on the FDA and the potential for them to limit new alternatives for...

    My Detonator/Magnum mod complete!

    Many thanks to D_struct and Madog for their help putting together my Detonator mod. This thing is a beast and it was well worth the learning pains of putting it together. My biggest challenge was finding a way to ground out the atomizer connection. I tried the multiple point solder from the...

    The Happy Hi-Liter Mod - when the office and e-cigs collide!

    Bored at work, I started looking around my desk area for anything that could be a potential mod. My eyes found it's way to a hi-liter pen and the rest is history... :D Compared to the juicebox mods that I typically do, these constrained space mods suck! I must have shorted...

    How much power can these things take?

    The Magnum runs on 6v, usb is 5v, and the screwdriver i believe runs on 7.2v. How far can we take it without melting everything or starting a fire?:evil:

    the world doesn't look the same anymore... i want to smoke it!

    Ever since I caught the modding bug and after seeing some of the inspired mods that you guys have come up with, I can't look at objects the same way anymore. I look at a stapler lying on my desk and I start thinking... could I smoke that? I have a bobble head frankenberry on my desk and his...

    My latest mod: The Dragon Box

    With the success of my usb juicebox mod... I had an extra housing left over and I wanted to try the same mod with a Red Dragon (loongtotem v9/bloog/EAZE Magnum/Smoke 51 clone). Again, I couldn't bear the thought of killing a perfectly good battery so I simply used one of the many...

    e-cigs = Philosopher's Axe (Theseus Paradox)

    If you guys aren't familiar with the Philosopher's Axe paradox, it goes something like this: A philosopher has an axe in which the head eventually wears out and needs to be replaced. After some time the handle breaks but the head is still fine so he replaces that. The question is whether or...

    question about my litecigusa 901 charger/batteries

    I picked up a 901 from litecigusa a week or so ago and while I'm loving it thus far, I'm concerned about my charger. It looks like no matter how long I leave the batteries in the charger, the green light doesn't go on. When I take the batteries off and use the charger and use them, they seem...
