Sometimes I love to look back on where the GLV started. Keep in mind some of these pics are before the GLV. As a matter of fact there was only 2 real mods on the market when some of these pics were taken,and the 510 connection had not been invented yet. The GLV was going to be my new hobby, and I would have been happy to sell 4 or 5 of them a year LOL, but because of all of you fine people/ GLV family I had no other choice but to develop the GLV into what it is today. It was your input and feedback that made that all happen.

Yup I would make an e-cig out of anything lol, and yes it works as a remote and an e-cig at the same time. The red button is the fire button.

Is a passthrough end cap in the works? I'd buy one or two. It could just have the connector in the cap (not hardwired); although even if it was hardwired it wouldn't be a deal breaker. I don't know if the GLV2 (5 volt) head cap configuration would cause it to not be possible or not.
Hmm.. I'm not sure about any of this lol. I made one and used it one time..that's all. The resistor would make for a very light hit if its only getting 5V of power to start with. You would need a mini/6v head cap. It would not be hard to turn a mini into a passthrough. Take a usb cord cut off the end that is not the usb end. Connect the + wire to the battery connection/post, and then connect your - wire to the spring..plug it in and enjoy your new passthrough lol. I would be willing to make that kind of thing happen for you if your interested. I could proly make it not hard wired as well. you would need a dummy battery tho. Ill think about it today and see what I can come up with.
