altoids tin mod

[stan_lg]

Can anyone tell me where to find instructional information on how to build a altoids tin mod

I searched and there really aren't "show me how" instructions on ECF. Putting together a plain mechanical Altoids mod is straightforward and you can see from the pictures pretty much everything that needs to be done. Like here:

If you wanted to make it variable voltage you best source for info on low budget VV mod electronics would be here:

More expensive version here:

You post count is now high enough that you should be able to post questions in the modding forum to ask for specific help there as well.

I made one from the guts of a VV Gripper that I had laying around. It's not pretty, but it does function. Bought an 18650 battery holder with leads from Amazon, along with 10 oz. of JB Weld, and now I have an Altoids tin mod. All I did was drill a couple of holes in the tin for the 510 connection, and the fire button, laid out my electronics from the VV Gripper, and poured in the JB Weld after I mixed it. It weighs a ton, but everything works as it should.
