Waiting on parts here too gonna give this a shot with sx350. Worst case scenario I can make it with a single battery. Thanks.

Where's the best, cheapest place to get the little buttons and fuses. I know eBay, but which vendor? I'm thinking the purple efest batteries, and I think that's it. Already have the board and the enclosure, wire, epoxy, etc...

The pictures I saw on the Vapor Joes thread shows some photoshopping in the picture, not sure if it's all legit.
The ones in line? I found them pretty easily last night by Google searching the fuse type. Bought 4 and they shipped today.
Did you mean these ones?
PTC Resettable Fuses

this is awesome! im going to start collecting these parts and build a wood version. thank you so much for doing this!!!
My parts are trickling in slowly... So far have gotten the fire switch, the battery contacts, the 20 gauge wire and some epoxy. Oh, and my helpings hands soldering holder. I'm going to use the Veroboard method with my fuses and test everything on breadboard before I solder anything.
EDIT 7/2/14 1446; I have received all parts Except the charger case. Getting excited!

Ok, so I have a question, I was just reading a thread where someone said they bought a 5A fire switch and it wouldn't work for sub ohming. I have bought a 3A fire switch (wasnt paying enough attention to the details, Doh!) so will this work, or am I back to the drawing board looking for a proper switch? And I should mention I'm using the SX350 chip.

You're okay. The SX350 or the DNA30 don't pass the current through the switch. Maybe 50-100mA at the most.
Good! I saw that the DNA 30 didn't but wasn't able to verify about the SX350 before my eyes told me it was time to go to bed 
Keyboard impression on the face!
Keyboard impression on the face!Hi Johnny D. I need to ask you about how you wired your switch. I can PM you if that is ok.
Hi I'm trying to build an arlo as my first mod as well. I've got everything ready and have started soldering everything up. I just noticed after I got my contacts in place that my flat top batteries hit the plastic channels for the positive contact and don't make connection. Button tops work fine but just want to see if this is normal. I apologize if this has been answered as I'm not completely caught up on this thread at the moment. Thank you!
Here's mine btw...
Started by fitting all my buttons and made an acrylic window.
Glued the window in and sanded flush, then cleared over it to make it smooth and seamless.
Painted it a coarse flake silver with candy orange on top.
Re-fitted everything and now I'm trying to get all the guts in which is the hard part IMO.

That paint job looks great. What method and paint did you use?

Thanks! It's really just a bunch of stuff I had left over from old jobs. Silver is diamont from a Nissan Titan with a coarse silver flake from house of kolor mixed in. The candy is rm carizzma and clear is diamont dc92. Sprayed with an airbrush so I had to over reduce the clear to make it work.
Nice work good looking mod I ran into the same problem with the positive contacts and the flat tops I used a dremel to shave the plastic down a bit and it was fine
