cell phone e cig

[crowman]

Hi guys
Well I have been at it again.
I found an old cell phone with a 3.7 V rechargeable battery.
I removed most of the guts and placed an atomizer from an E health in where the antenna used to be.
I had to drill out the screws so I have a hair bungee holding it together until I can get to town and find some real small screws.
But hay !! I can charge it up in the car or here at home.
Smoking hot idea Because most of us have old phones around.
vape on people.

Is the battery compatible with the atomizer? How did you connect the battery to the atomizer?

 

[crowman]

The Battery is a 3.7 and that powers the atomizer fine
Just don't let it burn dry.
I soldered the pos and neg to the Brass connectors that meet the pos and neg on the battery.
Don't try this after to much coffee....LOL

Freakin slick! I def have a few phones hangin around. That would be a much more reliable power source too. How does it activate?

I too was wondering what activates the battery? Is it manual?

 

[Extremeodd]

Im assuming its a manual switch since creating a diy auto switch that would be reliable seems difficult. Now only if I hadnt bought antennaless phones for the past long time...

 

[crowman]

Yup
I gleaned a switch off an old cd rom
They are small and fit in where the headphone jack once was.
Works great but I am having a hard time finding the itty bitty screws to replace the ones i drilled out..

I would include more detailed photos but my downloaded photos of my cold heat mod has used up most of my allowed bandwidth on this site.
I am working on a new mod.
It's one of those flashlights that you crank to charge up.
Turns out the thing has a coin li-ion Bat with 3.6 volt
Then somewhere around here I remember having a radio that can be plugged in Or charged by solar OR cranked.
I will try to find that and see what power voltage it has.
If someone wants to donate any old atomizers I would be a happy camper.
All I can do now is wait for my last E health bat to take a dump on me.
Till then
Keep On V aping

Ha ha .....snap.....I have just converted my old nokia phone....the batteries are perfect for the job.

The only thing is that I removed the phones electronics but now I am worried because I checked out the nokia charger and it pumps out over 12 volts....now I am wondering if the phones electronics played a part in regulating the charging. ...I am going to try using a 3.7v charger that is a bit closer and only pumps out 5.7 volts

You can remove some of the guts like the speakers and such.
But for charging most of these phones have a circuit dedicated to keep the battery from overcharge ( 3 rd pole on the battery I believe )
If you remove to much you may have to hook up your charger directly to the battery .
Then without the 3rd pole I am not certain the bat. will charge properly.
If it will take a charge you will have to be careful to not overcharge <<Tricky>>
Continue to experiment and let us all know your results.

We need to learn from the mistakes of others... Their is simply not enough time to make them all ourselves.

Thanks crowman ....now I am cursing myself for doing a crappy rush job, without even having a plan in my head. The phone could have been a much better nod......now I am probably going to end up ruining the battery. ..damn.

NAAAA Dude
If your chosen charger is putting out under 4 volt and you don't leave it on for to long you should be fine.
Even the e cig battery's tell you to charge them for 3 hours after the first charge of 5 hours.
Mine at least suggested you NOT leave them on the charger over night.
But Hay!!
At least you had the desire to do one and that's a But load more than a lot of folks will try.
Go do another they can only get better.
I did one with a cold heat soldering gun.. It's still the workhorse of my e fleet.
4 rechargeable aa battery's
SWEET!!

The phone is actually my second mod ...I have also modded a 3.6 volt black and decker screwdriver it looks like a Penquin but it works great.....although I should change the batteries in it because they are about 5 years old and they don't quite last a full day on a charge...... it's fun trying to work out what to mod next.........lol.

 

[crowman]

I am in the process of turning a 76 fiat x19 into a trike.
I cut off the front of the car and welded a 76 honda 750 front end on to it.
Now if I can get the voltage right I can mount a hooka type hose some ware up front fix my atomizer on the end with a handlebar activated switch , I could be vaping down the highway .
ROFLOL.

everytime i go to a hardware store or similar i look at things in the strangest way thinking "hmmmm could i use that for an ecig mod?"

 

[crowman]

Check it out
I was just sitting here looking at an old air brush
