Can anyone identify this mod?

[asnider123]

I got this DOA mod from an acquaintance but he does not know the history of it. Perhaps someone can identify it ??? It's a 1-14500 basic 3.7 mod built into a project box. It has a 3a push-button switch on the side, magnetic catches on the lid, a homebrew battery compartment, and a 510 sealed connector with a drip cup. It is all sealed with hot-glue. He said he dremel'd the cup shorter so he could connect other things on it (presumably a tankmod).

So the question is: did this come from a company or is it a homemade model? Does anyone recognize it? I will be rebuilding it, but I thought it may be a blast from the past

Looks like a homemade Radio Shack battery box mod. And the past is about 2 years in this industry, so don't get too nostalgic...

It looks like a homade boxmod to me too. There's nothing wrong with that though. I've built a couple and they work nicely. Go ahead and rebuild it. If you're looking for parts check Madvapes.com.

I don't recall any vendors that sold box mods with that type of switch so my guess is, like everyone else's, homemade.

I have all the parts I need for this job .. I just wanted to be sure and do a "before" picture

Start with the switch. Really the only part that could go bad in that build. Those are RS switches and I've had plenty go bad. The RS nearest me finally started carrying 3A switches

omfg thats my mod!!! I sold that thing like 3 weeks ago!

I love that drip cup too. I was in a hry when I built that, I was going on a trip out of state and needed a back up and it was only half done. Thats so mind blowing you ended up with it.

If I had to guess whats bad in it it would be the connector. It was used on another mod before that one, I harvested it. Theres a chance that rubber ring that seperates the positive post from the negative melted. Start with the switch cause it will be easiest (though I've used the switches in almost very mod I've built and never had a problem with them) but it might be worth a look and the connector.

I dremeled the drip cup off not knowing what it was for but now I do. I got it from silentt.

 

[Creniker]

Yeah it was a bit big and cumbersome and could have been made smaller, but it was also quick and easy to set up.

If it were mine I would have remained silent lol

Thanks.......

As I said I was in a hry, and it was free giveaway with something else I sold. I was just surprised it got around.

Mystery solved Now that I know it's origin, I will get out the good old meter and do a little trouble-shooting. Love your magnets, Creniker!! It's pretty neat, I will get it working for sure!!

Thanks, Alan

Yeah it had a good magnet design and catch cup but terrible waste of space inside. Easily could have been modded to store either extra cartomizer or atomizers and a 3ml bottle. Good luck. You should put up some pics of what you do with.
