I've made a handful of Altoids mods, if you look at my started threads you can see where i asked for help and the answers i recieved.
post 8 shows my very first tin mod, 2nd mod ever i believe.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/391533-couple-pucks.html#post8950527
this was my first vv.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/335654-my-vv-booster-altoids-tin.html
two mods,one thread.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/412223-my-2-new-scorched-altoids-tins.html
then this one kinda died at the concept phase. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/422534-my-almost-stealth-18650-dna-20-a.html
if you cant tell i like my tin mods.
The most important thing ive learned about these is you can never have too much insulation, would be ashamed to admit how many times i have shorted something in one of these, never vented a batt., but i have generated an extremely scary amount of heat.
hopefully this will at least point you in the right direction, any questions feel free to ask.

Maybe you should spray paint the inside with a rubber coat for better short circuit protection?

If you're planning on giving them away. Go on ebay and get like some cool altoids tins that fit their style. Maybe some vintage.
VV/V/W, I don't know if you checked the price tags on the chips. The LM2596S DC-DC Step Down module is a easy install and cheap. 1/2" thickness. You could also do a mini voltage display. That combo is about $7. You could do the Vamo chips from Fasttech for $11 a pop. There also the OKLA chips, seem thin, never used them though.

i had thought of spraying the inside of the tin, but was worried the coating would make it a bit harder to close. i guess you could mask off the edge on the lid to alleviate that issue. Fasttech now sellls their cloned dna chips for 25$ each may be a viable option,havent done much research though
