Cigarette packet mod

[jugs]

Hi all!

I'm a new member to the boards and I did a cigarette packet mod just for laughs, thought I'd share the outcome with you. I based the design on the nicostick but with 4 AA batteries in series. I used the standard 1.2V AA rechargables in series which means it's vaping at 4.8 volts.

I don't have any pics of the inside, but it would just be a repost of what has already been done! It's 4xAAs in a battery enclosure which charges via usb with a dodgey on/off switch at the bottom (which came with the enclosure). I have a 901 atty wired and attached to the outside of the casing. The batteries fit snugly in a cig packet and then I just taped it all together haha. No LEDs or any bells and whistles really (except for usb charging). It would have looked a lot nicer having the atty in one of the battery enclosures rather than hanging off the side, but I didn't want to go down to 3.6V! Also, the cigarette packet is could have been cut a lot better

Oh well! Nothing too serious here. Don't know if this one will leave my bedroom

haha! Thanks to nicowolf for the nicostick

Nice, I kind of like this one

This is very funny... I love how the warning label is right next to the atty...

Hey, it works and that's all that matters! You can be proud of your efforts.

Makes for a good working mod. Now for a more sturdy model.
Happy you found the Forum and are a mod minded person. Welcome to our sickness.

I found a Cig pack along the road and almost did that but I needed storage space for extra carts, mods, and E-liquid. What I guess I`m saying is my box is bigger.

My box mod can be viewed at photobucket.

You can put the atty on the top. Just epoxy the connector to the case. I put it where the wires come out.

Nice green switch.

Where do you get the higher ends switches than RadioShack?!

Mouser?

Mouser?

Mad Vapes has a bunch. Switches. I've also gotten some from All Electronics. Switches - Pushbutton | AllElectronics.com, I've gotten other stuff from Mouser, but never any switches.

Haha Connman that mod is mental! Do you keep that thing in a bunker?

Thanks for the tip Sci. I will definitely give that a try, it looks a lot cleaner than my current set up. At least the thing worked which was my main objective! I use the past tense there because while trying to clean up the wiring I ended up dropping a large chunk of solder into the battery connector! Thus connecting the pos/neg and shorting the circuit! I've been trying to heat it up and kinda scrape it out but I'm making a bigger mess. Can anyone give me any tips here? I really need to learn soldering 101 before I try something like this again!

Loving the information on this forum. Thanks for looking!

You need desoldering braid or a desoldering tool to do it cleanly. Avail at most reputable electronics places.
