I use to make a shi1tload of nicosticks & magnums for my friends and called them g-boxes/g-sticks.
It all started a while ago when my HP Mini 6 cell battery died, cracked it open and 2 from each stack were still cherry.
Thats when I thought about what I could do with them so I searched and I bought one of those 4 18650 mobile power supplies from ebay. Since it was regulated 5V 1A it did not perform like I wanted, so I gutted the board and hard wired it to another housing from the madvapes voltmeter (moved the meter in to the 18650 box) using a RCA cable with jacks. vaping 8.5V 2s2p was too much for me, plus the RCA cable was too thin and restricted the current. My friends silverbullet @ 6V perfomed much better than my box so I decided to give it an upgrade.
I swapped the RCA cable with smaller gauge speaker cable and threw in a madvapes VV kit (had to remove 2 of the 18650's to make room for the extra parts. I also used a larger pot for the VV so I could have the shaft stick out of the box for easy tuning (gotta shave down more as it sticks out too much). The regulator also get pretty hot, luckily I had a nice mini heatsink I took from an LCD tv.
I love how it came out plus I only spent around $50.
w/diy tank = GAME OVER
