3 Minute Lighter Mod

[Connman]

This Electric 2 AAA battery lighter has been the simplest mod I have come across yet. Took 3 minutes to make. Unless you want to count the time it took to heat the soldering Iron up.
They can be bought on E-bay for under $5 and are the same size as a Bic Lighter.

Now I took this one a step further and Air Brushed it for a finished mod.

There also seems to be enough room for the atomizer with cart to fit inside with a bit more modding.(cut the spring down and trim the plastic by the atty connector) for a nice carry along I`d recommend doing this since the actual slide switch could easily be triggered otherwise.

Parts List=
Trustfire TR10440 600mAh 3.7V Battery
Atty Connector (510 shown in these picture)
Small Positive wire

I have been wanting to one of these for quite a while. Love it. its just the 10440 batts that make me reluctant.

Does the switch just touch the neg. side of the atty connector when you press it? or is it more complicated?

very nice, and simple. Could make for a very good looking mod as well. I like

Hello, I am Dr. j0ker, I'm not a real doctor but I play one on the forums. I have some bad news for you sir. It seems you have a case of incurable Icantstopmoddingitis. We're sorry but there is no treatment for this but on a good note, you seem to be very successful at this illness.

Great job Connman!

You got it the spring helps hold it there as well and the other end of that spring touches the negative side of the Battery

Yikes I do have it don`t I. But this is better then fishing got a bunch of bites before I even set the Keyboard down. Thanks for all the great and fast comments. Much appreciated.

WOW! That's all I'm sayin' !!!!

 

[Connman]

I had to make sure my claim of the atty and cart fitting inside was possible. Yes it does fit. I had to do a little more cutting and snip the spring off at the base of its spiral. Where I cut the place for the atty threads to fit I also cut a small grove at the base for the wire to go through and ran the wire underneath the atty in the corner to the spring area.

For those that don`t want to do this I recommend cutting some of the top slide cover off so it can give you some additional room before the thing is turned on. If that sounds confusing you will understand when you do one.

Sweet Connman...can the heating element be used by putting an empty atty shell around it with some wicking?

Sure looks like it but then again I`m not sure. I sure as heck saved mine though for just that idea. But I wouldn`t know anything of the safety of it.

On a side note sure appreciate you work with the Wizard.
I will be getting one of those soon.

He sells laser pointers that might work for a quick mod too...
