box mod kits

[HappyHooligan]

I double checked the legs when I put the led in. after I got it all soldered and it didn't work i disconnected the legs and wired them and the resistor directly to the battery, the same way I tested it before I installed the led and I got nothing. oh well no led but it still works. don't want to risk killing the whole thing just to try and fix the led. The mod may not work perfectly but I definately learned some lessons for the next one.

I'm going to wait till I get a better iron before I attempt to make the other box.

That was kind of painful to read, actually

how do you figure that kit has all the hard thing's done aka drilling hole's everything else is well you a this end connect's to this and this end connect's to this easy bad switch get a new one bad LED get a new one it's not like those thing's are gonna empty your bank account buying this stuff and realy if somone bought 6 or more of them they could have bought a cheap drill from sear's or any other place like that people upset bout a $8 kit or realy having trouble putting it together. there is more then one how to for thing's like this

Helping Hands or Jumbo Helping Hands with LED Lights

Thank you for the links to this, I was always wondering what people were talking about "helping hands" Christmas is comming I will have to make sure I put this on my list for santa.
Also thanks for all of the helpful advice.

That's enough, guys. Berating someone for their spelling ability is not very nice. Try and be a little more respectful to each other.

There is so much good info in this thread that it's a shame to see its demise… or maybe assassination would be more appropriate.

As for me, I just finished the kit and I highly recommend it, enough so that I have already (in a last minute supply run to Radio Shack) bought a box and parts to do my own. That’s what the box mod kit is all about. Yes, there is cleanup on the case, and no the kit doesn’t include instructions but they are available (http://www.madvapemods.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10) . Yes, I made a couple of goofs like unknowingly bumping the atty fitting before it dried… so what, I’m finding that vaping at a 60 degree angle is rather comfortable.

Relax, take your time and enjoy what you learn. Have fun and good luck.

with the leds, i use my multimeter on the ohm checking setting to verify the polarity on my leds. It helps me to visualize it a little more and make sure i'm soldering them in right.

Thanks Fizil... My tester actually has a diode check so it will fire the LED on ohm check.

I like the ohm check cause it lights up the diode a lil. I'm sure diod check would be safer/better.oh wait...i think mine has diode checker on it to: ->|- ?
