Got that itch

[Toker]

I've been hovering around the modder section for several days now and every day my itch to try it out is getting worse. I was gonna wait till next pay day to order parts to try my hand at it, but I can't wait any longer. Just put in my order and hopefully it will get here this weekend and I can tinker around with it.

Just the thought of being able to make my own is filling me with excitement and joy.

Gonna start off simple to see how I do at it. The 2xAA 3.7v box mod looks to be the simplest to start with. Ordered enough to make 2, one for me and one for my fiance. If all goes well on them, I hope to be able to attempt a 5v juice box.

We're here to help so don't rush it and ask questions here if you need to. The NicoStick is such a simple mod and you can get a good 8 hours or more out of one fully-charged 14500 battery which is so nice compared to the standard battery that comes with an e-cig.

Good Luck!

Just remember: Don't grab the soldering iron by the tip

I've done it over a dozen times now, I think.

and don't put the battery in backwards.

You would have to blow instead of suck.

*Warning* Modding is very addictive! That 2xAA box is a great size & like Shortstuff said, if you run into any probs, ask.

Jiff, how many times did it take to break you from doing that?

I think I ordered everything I need:

2 Protected 14500 900 mAH batteries
2 470 Ohm resisters
2 3mm red LED's
2 Horn style switches
2 Silver 510 assembled battery connectors
2 2xAA battery boxes with on/off switch

What is some good epoxy to get? And am I missing anything else for a standard 3.7v box mod?

Yeah, I ordered the charger too. Batteries wouldn't do me much good without a charger.

there are several epoxies that are useful.
The two part tubes are handy but if you do volumes not economical.
Some of the 4 min or 5 min epoxies cure a little soft (flexible) and are handy repairing a crack (see if this passes the censor) in a plastic box.
The 'Plastic Weld' dual tube cures hard as a rock and has good dielectric properties for other applications also.

JB Weld is indispensable. Anything that Duct Tape can't fix, JB Weld can.
Tower Hobbies, Hobby Lobby, etc sell bulk two part epoxy with different curing properties. And different thicknesses of Super Glue. Imagine quart bottles of Super Glue.
Fiberglass suppliers would be a good source for polyester resin kits if you want to mold your own.
Gorilla glue, don't go there. Messy.

So sounds like JB Weld is the thing to get.

I'm seriously dying here. Has only been 11 hours since I put in my order for the parts.


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't stop thinking about it.
