I see. The mod battery doesn't fall off as fast as the 901 battery. That's probably the reason.

Well, I did get the N size coax jack from Radio Shack, and it doesn't work with a 510 atty... I thought I had read somewhere on this forum that the 510 and 901 attys were the same size...
At any rate, they only had 2 coax connectors of this type there.. Size N, and size M... And the N size connector doesn't have any interior threads to screw the atty into, so even if it was the right size, it still wouldn't work.
Do you know if they have one that'll work with a 510 atty?
Thanks for all the guidance thus far from everyone. I currently have just one more question that others may be curious of as well. Is there a way to close the atomizer so that leaking into the battery box is not possible? Sorry if this has been posted before, it only seemed logical to close the hole. in my opinion, if you soldered the hole in the bottom of the atomizer closed the N connector i'm using would still make contact... and might even make contact better?
ronjon, if you decide to do this, please PM me with details of any sudden atomizer failures. I'm especially interested if you use an 801. Thanks.
One could enlarge the air inlet hole and seal the battery hole to gain the easier draw. I like to keep the connector open, because it is easier; but then i've never found juice getting into the battery/box.
Well I got my very own hand crafted nico stick vaping away now 
I did manage to get the connector out of the aluminum tube. Long story short, it involved a hammer a chisel mounted vice a pair of pliers and an exacto knife for cutting the epoxy once I peeled down the aluminum like a bannana. This really is an awsome mod and I'm absolutly loving having a manual switch instead of a preasure switch. Thanks Nico for the well made instructions and the whole forum in general for being a wealth of information. I reccomend if you havn't built one yet and are thinking about it go for it

Thanks Nico for the well made instructions and the whole forum in general for being a wealth of information. I reccomend if you havn't built one yet and are thinking about it go for it after closing the hole on the bottom of atomizer and slightly boring out the air inlet I've had no trouble in the past couple of hours of vaping. The N size coax jack from Radio Shack is actually a little easier to connect with the solder covering the hole. The first "nicostick" I made I had to separate the middle connect with a small screwdriver and this one was simply thread it to make contact and it was ready to go. I'll post back as far as results on atomizer life, but this far it doesn't seem to be running hotter than normal.
Jeez, I must be a .....! I have the AA battery box and the Ultrafire 14500 but it will not fit in the box. It comes close but it won't fit in without almost busting the plastic. Should I be taking the last spring off where the neg contact is on the batttery? That would probably make it fit but I didn't see where it said to.
Edit-- I either have a funky battery or the wrong box because even without the contacts in the battery will not squeeze in. There's a lip around the top (+) side that is too fat to let it seat properly. Maybe I can cut the center divider a bit. If my Janty stick would get here I wouldn't have to do this.lol I've already wasted a perfectly good flashlight and now this.

Yukon--Order some of these--they fit the 14500 perfect.

Cool, I will. I should have known better but they did look exactly alike. Thanks

Hard to say without the specs Steve---the 14500 uses 12V-400mA input and 4.2V-450mA output. Best to just buy one ---they are short money------Sun
Yeah the specs sorry. 4.2v at 100ma. I guess the problem would be the low ma. I'm sure I'll get an actual charger for the 14500. It's not a money issue. Just that I can fit the charger from my 401 inside my nicostick and was thinking about taking off the usb cable end and adding a small female mini. Hence it could of been a rechargeable nicostick.

So I'm wondering what sort of bribery I can use to get my hubby to make one of these for me or if I'm going to have to bite the bullet and try to do it myself . Maybe the thought of not having to buy a couple of batteries a month will be enough to get him to make a couple.

Do you have a link to or pics of this? Sounds interesting ...
I assume you mean the circuit board from the charger fits in the NicoBox.
Right, the circuit board will just barely fit. I decided not to put it in the 2 nicoboxes I just finished up. Maybe next time. I'm sure it will charge the 3.7v 14500 but not sure how long it would take with the low ma output. Guess it one of those wait 2 weeks for my batteries to get here from china then run my battery down and time it. I'll see if it will still fit in the ones i done up and if so i'll post a pic. It won't exactly be pretty you kind of have to put the board at and angle so it will fit and i won't have it soldererd in just show how it would fit. But god bless epoxy maybe the next one will have it. Damn i guess i'll go pick up another battery box and switch to build it and test it. If nothing else i'll only be out 10 bucks or so
14500 are rated at around 900mAh, so 100mAh will charge them in about 10 to 12 hours, so it will be an overnight charger. Slow charging Lithiums is ok.
You could have a problem if the charger has a time cut-off. What chip is that charger based on? Maybe you could change it for a faster charge too, some can be modified by changing just a resistor

I'm going to start a new thread to discuss what I have brought up. Hopefully to not add clutter to this current thread. That and it's not exactly to discuss the nico but to try to mod it.
