Hi.
This is my attempt to make my own e-cigarette mod. For that I used an old dead mirage battery, that I removed all electronics and battery from its case. Then I used the two remaining unused parts from a 14-in-1 mobile phone charger kit... The AAA battery box, and the USB-charger adapter!!! (The kit also included wall-to-USB charger and 12V-car-to USB chargers)
Anyway, since I removed the original Mirage battery guts, I used a 3.7v Nokia Li-ion battery from an old (broken now) phone. The battery fits in the AAA battery box if I remove the lower spring contacts. I chosen not to solder the power pins of the battery but instead I used some contact pins (very common to find).
Next to the battery I fitted the empty now mirage battery case with only two cables that are attached to the contacts of the threaded end and give power to the atomizer. The AAA box had a mini jack power connector that I had relocated on the bottom of the box, in the space that the mirage battery case left. This mini jack is used to charge the battery, as well to use the USB-charger thing as USB-passthough!!! In the original place of the mini jack I used a small switch (very common on desktop pc) and a bright blue LED in series with a 220 Ohm resistor as an indicator that I actually provide power to the atomizer when I press the button.
Its easy and fun to make, and will save you from charging all the time spare batteries... It will charge in only 1 hour and will last 1-2 days depending on how heavy you are vaping. One advantage of it is that with the manual switch I no more need to try hard to drag on it to vape, as it was happening because of the pneumatic switch on the original battery.
