I would be extremely flattered if this crappy mod could be an inspiration for fellow vapers.
It all started out when a friend of mine introduced me to e-cigarettes. It seemed pretty interesting but I was unwilling to fork out the cash to want to buy a kit as the cost back then was sky high from local suppliers.
My friend was kind enough to donate a cartomiser, some e-juice and a dead ego battery. He told me if I could fix the battery, I would then have my very own e-cigarette. (I do have some basic knowledge on electricals)
However, as you all know, those damn ego batteries are very poor quality stuff made in china and the wire was so damn thin that they were impossible to put back. (Cause of dead battery was a wire broken in 2 places)
And since e-cigarettes used voltage to power up the coils, I wondered "Why not?"
I then proceeded to get a battery holder and switch from a hardware store. I could only get the one that held 4 batteries and was too lazy to modify it to a 3 battery holder or get a dummy battery so I had to use rechargeable batts instead.
I couldn't use alkaline batts as they were 1.5v each and 4 of them would be 6v and that would pretty much burn out the cartomiser I had. Rechargeables are 1.2v and 4 of them would only add up to 4.8 - 5v. (Batteries and charger were once again so kindly donated by said friend)
Then I hastily assembled the whole damn thing using super glue and some connectors to see if it would work, and it did!
I was then happily enjoying my mod but was too lazy to improve on its design (Damned super glue holding the ego connector kept breaking off) and it has been lying in my drawer since.
I'm gonna try another mod using li-po batts this time as they are more compact and easier to work with. (I did not want to use li-po at first due to their tendency to explode if used improperly) but after some research, I am now more confident to work with them.
Wish me luck as I embark on my Journey to the Mod!
To each his own i guess.... i quite the liqua cola. hahaha. got a 100ml of it sitting around
Hi Bro Enigz, if you are not aware, do u know a lot of box mod came from ppl who decide to build their mod from scratch. Ie: billet box mod. They are now selling it commerically thru pre-order. The reason ppl build their own mod is to meet their own needs. Sadly, our creativity in all sort of ways are pretty limited here.
Yeah..When I thought about the box mod, I didn't know that ppl have already done it before. Then I sourced around for ideas but was too lazy to do a proper one, so I basically just did up a very very basic box mod. (meaning shortcut)
But what do you mean that our creativity here is lacking??
Anyways I saw this video and it reminded me of my box. LOL

It's nvr been crappy mod. Your willingness to tried mod fm scratch is really inspiration.
I too had a damage ego but was too lazy to even mod and yet I spend on new mod and tried most tanks and I could not get the right taste so I go right deep into checking for good tank and gear
Now I found a really nice mod body. Astro with a drip tank with ceramic inside, it produced huge vapor and taste frantically good.
It nvr ending! Each mod I had I swap battery and tanks and tried so hard to achieve the real juice taste.
I had even took out Ce5 completely and try on Vivi Nova and re coil on it. Now I had also achieve good vapor and taste.
Except, due to my poor knowledge on electrical and took lazy to use my damage ego to box mod it.
Cheers to you for all the hard work!
You can trade with others for flavor. I too have some bad taste of DK premium sitting around
