Destroyed a perfectly good $30 flashlight.....

[j21blackjack]

But I created my first multi-voltage mod!

So I've been waiting for two weeks for my madvapes order so I could build my first box mod (USPS lost it temporarily). So I get all my stuff together with the how-to brought up of the computer, and start going at it. At about the 5 minute point disaster struck, I shattered the battery box trying to drill the hole for the atty connector. I say a few not-so-nice words, then proceed to digging through all my junk for something to mod. Lo and behold, I find my Coleman Max mini ultra bright flashlight ($30 at Walmart). It looked so innocent sitting on my night stand, and I remember relying on it so many times in the car, and when the power went out. It was also my carry daily carry flashlight and my go-to flashlight in the middle of the night. However, my overwhelming urge to mod something overpowered all of that. It took me just a few minutes to gut my poor old pal, and then I proceeded to rebuild her into something completely new. Now she has become a 3.7v or 6v vaping machine.

I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

A moments silence please.

Now, long live the mod!!!

Actually it was pretty short lived. I couldn't leave well enough alone. I tried to replace the factory push button with my horn style switch. It was going pretty good, but for some unknown reason I lost continuity on the switch AFTER I had super-glued and soldered everything together. And of course, I destroyed the original push button getting it apart! So now every thing is in the trash, maybe I'll just buy one of Ken's boxes for $20, it would have been much cheaper, lol.

Damn... That was quick. didn't even make it to the finish line.

Just go to radio shack and get another $2 box and start over.
Don't mod expensive stuff!! You're going to miss that flashlight.

Chalk it up to practice and go again!

No not the trash. Never throw anything like that into there. There are kitchen drawers for that kind of stuff.

Super Glue can be broken. I would never give up on it yet. A new switch and back in action.

Now JB weld would be a problem.

a good soak in alcohol will loosen the superglue
