5v 14500 AA Box Mod Plans??

thats exactly what i wanted to build asdaq, but i couldnt figure out what parts I needed, so I went with the 2 CR2 battery mod. What kind of connector and switch are you using in that?

It's boondongles, from his gallery. He put it up two years ago, so the regulator is most likely a 3-pin from madvapes and the connector looks homemade, a hex nut or something. The one they carry now that has threading and a nut would be helpful for this.

The switch I don't know, but it sounds like the one you have from RS is really close if not the same. It is the bottom of the battery box where the master switch goes, so there is less depth for the connector, and the negative pin from the regulator is soldered directly to the battery tab and there is probably some black wire in there too that doesn't show up in the picture well.

If the screw post was removed it wouldn't be so cramped, but then closing it would be more difficult to achieve. Maybe a magnet glued to the lid that sticks to the magnets?

You can also use the TI booster with a single 14500 battery to get to 5volts. I get about 6hrs of heavy to moderate vaping.

He wants 10hrs though. The booster 14500 is definitely not so cramped to build though.

It doesnt have to be 10 hours, 6 would probably work fine. I actually just finished building my first 5v mod with the 2 CR2 batteries, but my mega dual cartos are tripping the protection circuit on the batteries

My higher resistance cartos will be in the mail tomorrow

Naw, it's probably a TI UCC283 or 383.
