Ever seen the guts of an e-cig stick?
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics
As you can see the two different sizes of batteries, plus the positive [red], negative [black], and "activation" [yellow] lines of the automatic type, I think this is an industry standard as I took apart one of the cheap gas station ones a long time ago and it was built almost the same
The smaller one is 220mAh, the larger one is 340mAh, most of the larger type e-cigs (the cigar sized ones_m run 1000 or higher, the one I currently have has a 2100 mAh battery in it if it gives you any idea the longevity of the charge of the batteries...
Both of these batteries went kaput, well not the batteries kaput but for some reason the LED when charging would come on, or when you take a drag, but after about 2 days the led on the front stayed on (like it was shorted) I think it might have been because I cranked down on the atomizer too hard, (I wonder if this was what was happening on those battery recalls) oh well...decided to gut it to see what it was like inside
I could solder the batteries together in parallel adding current capacity together and keeping the same voltage, then maybe put a manual button on it, and a 510 screw down connection, then cover in heatshrink for a makeshift "mod"
I highly recommend anyone getting an e-cig get a workhorse (the e-cig cigar type with the large batteries) not a stick
