Blue LED Transplant

[scuzzy19]

I had an old battery that had an intermittent LED on it sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't. It sucked regardless but I had a very generous person who donated their dead battery guts with a blue LED that I was able to make use of! here are the results.

You are more talented then I, if an LED ever goes out on me I will just have to learn to live without it! Glad you got it going though...

 

[dracis]

Wow, that's awesome.

I wish I could do something like that. No matter how many electronics I'm surrounded by, I could never, ever get along with electricity or something electronic.

personal experience indicates that I have a 90% chance that I get shocked no matter how careful I am. I think I'm just generating too much static or something.

I did live with it for sometime but I had this one replaced im glad I can finally get it working correctly. I have a spare Green led now if you need one repaired

I havent done too much solder work in my life in the past but ive seen enough of it done where I can do it on my own. But lately I have had practive at work fixes charge ports on blackberries so doing this didnt seem like too much of a task. The hardest part was resoldering the led back on.

I couldnt apply to much heat on it or risk melting the LED itself so I had to preball the bottom points and solder them sideways to the LED assembly

Everything works and im vaping on it atm

I had a friend with an interesting suggestion.

What if the LED changed color every couple seconds of drag?

Don't know if it'd be possible with such little space, but it'd be like Joesph and the Technicolor dream smoke

 

[dracis]

They do have those color-cycling LEDs.

Zomg you lie! Where?

 

[dracis]

They've been around for quite some time now. They use them a lot in those mini-fountains that cycle water through them. I see them at Fry's all the time.

Can you imagine someone taking a drag from that to get all of the color changes? ROFL!

They even use them for keyboard mods for the backlight.

Here's a site here that has them. $1.59 for a 5mm changing LED light at the bottom.

lol funny I open one of my batteries the other day and i was thinking of doing that, putting my orange led on my with battery and putting my my blue in the black

 

[PRboy25]

and I just broke one of my new batteries traying to do that

 

[Stephra]

WANT!

Having a batt that cycled colors would be seven kinds of awesome!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would pay a pretty penny for one of those?

 

[CatMommy]

I just saw rapid color changing LEDs for $0.98 at MapVapes. Don't know if they are the right size to fit but for 98 cents, I'd be willing to try.

 

[Tasselhoff]

Hey Scuzzy; I'm glad to see you made it work !!

 

[JuneBug31]

Awsome job scuzzy!

 

[MrSmokinToad]

Chrome Manual XL with multicolor LED would sell like mad.
I want one, my wife wants one, my dog wants one, my daughters cat wants one too. Can we get Leaford to put it on a wish list or something.

How bad was the damage? I may be able to fix it for you

if you can provide me a link ill sure as hell buy it and try it as long as its the same size as the one it comes with

@Scuzzy How did you remove the part with the threads without destroying it? I murdered a batt trying to get that out. Nice work btw
