Spent Sunday afternoon finishing my first mod, an 801 2 RC123A based, copper tube based on the Fog Log. Took longer to get the parts and tools together than it took to actually build it. I went with the 1/4" audio jack setup, not willing to sacrifice any working batteries for my first mod.
I'm very happy with the results! The vapor it produces is so warm and thick. Have been a little nervous about running at over 6 volts though, and plan to add a 1 ohm 2 watt resistor as soon as I can get some. The other thing I plan to change is the switch. The one I planned to use mounts from the top, and due to the 1/4" jack I couldn't access it to solder. Had to go with a lighter weight switch. Looking for a better option.
Over all turned out pretty well for my first (but not last) attempt.
Here's how it looks, be kind...
