DIY Box Mod Questions

[jcharles41888]

I have been an avid vaper now for a little over 3 months and have really taken off in the DIY hobby of vaping. I have been doing some research on box mods and am really interested in building my own so I can have that ultra cool mod that is guaranteed to be a one of a kind item lol. I would like to ask for some help in finalizing my ideas and appreciate any pointers or points in the right direction i can get on this.

My idea is a full mech box mod that runs at 7.4v with 3 batteries in a 2 parallel, 1 series config. My questions are as follows:

1. Does anyone know of a switch that can handle upto 30amp DC as I intend to use Sony VTC4 or 5 batteries to there fullest potential.

2. Would it be more trouble than its worth to integrate a recharging circuit into the mod so as to be able to use a battery pack in lieu of having to change batteries? and can someone point me in the right direction of a schematic for said circuitry?

3. Any suggestions on parts or places to order parts from?

Any help would be appreciated and I thank you all in advance for said help Vape on my friends!

thanks for the link Kbalz, and bringing it up Jcharles, I was saying the exact same thing yesterday, it'll probably be my first Fasttech order, I've got a cool Altoids Wintergreen tin(my favorite) or an Old Camel's tin they had out for some promotion, I thought the irony would be hilarious.

I would say that the three battery idea is a train wreck looking for a place to happen. (unequal discharge rates)

I'm kinda old school and advocate gaining the skills and an understanding of how all this works. So hone those skills with a couple of OKR regulators first.

Check out this link for instructions on what's involved with building a mod.

Just go to the bottom of your first post and click on the "triangle" on the left hand side. You can ask a moderator to delete your thread and explain that you reposted your question over in the modding forum.
