Gummy strikes again

[Gummy Bear]

So I got board today. Just goofing around with an Idea for a switch. It’s a dinky little 14500, no wires , The battery just slides in until it hits the center pin of the atty connector.

The belt clip is the switch. It’s not the belt clip that I want to use, but it will do till I can get to the flea market tomorrow to buy some cheap knife with a good belt clip. . This belt clip was one side of an old set of feeler gauges.





I just can't forget and lay it down on a metal work bench.

So simple, But such an awesome Idea, and it looks awesome!
edit: where did those caps come from?

Very nice indeed !!!
Perfect example of "sometimes less is more"

 

[hankbizzo5]

where did those caps come from?

This right here. I MUST make this my next mod! Absolutely wonderful.

The end caps are 3/4" pex test caps. just cut them down to about 3/8" total height. that removes the barbs and then they will press into the 3/4" ID lexan tube just right.

 

[drewk302]

nice. I will do a search but if you dont mind where did you get yours? I ordered some free samples from that plactics company, Thanks that worked out great.

 

[Gummy Bear]

the lexan was a free sample from that plastics company that you just mentioned, yea what ever their name is, damn it. The pex are from lowe's part # is PXP34 by Vanguard.

Atty connector from madvapes, and cut the outer flange down so that the center pin is sticking out below it.

Great little MOD Gummy!

I like it.

I'm goin' with Parky50 on the "less is more" thing for this MOD.

How about we start a "Gummy Hall Of Fame" ?

Ain't it tho. but I do have to get a real nice belt clip. ( I'll re-post then)
You know how it is when you have a sudden onset of Modumust fever.

I think I'm infected with that same bug too, and my fever is rising.

Ain't no think to it. we all have it, (some worst than others). Very contagious.

The bottom cap fits real tight now but in a month it will be very loose and then I'll cut an L slot into the tube and solder on a stud on each side of the cap. Kinda like those B.B.s used on the copper mods.

Gummy, that is very nice, if you left the clip the way it is it would still be great. The looks, the simplicity, the switch.... And with your tank, oh my. And all I did was go and put a bunch of holes in my tank as of yet.

 

[Gummy Bear]

Thanks asdaq, your word means a lot to me. (don't forget to hit that stupid "Like" button).
I got a 2.6 ohm Vortex on it now. but they leak to bad to be a permanent thing.
Perhaps a low ohm clearomizer with a matching tank.

I fixed my post. You're right no think to it.

That's a great idea Gum, and while on your belt, it will never accidentally fire. Great carry mod.

I really like that Gummy. It's funny when you go to a hardware store and everything starts looking like a mod opportunity. I went today looking for some odds and ends and a battery spring. Found out flashlights were cheaper than battery springs so I walked out with a few......now the wheels are turning. LOL

I just can't forget and lay it down on a metal work bench.

hey, why not dip the ends and clip in rubber and just cut off enough of it where it makes contact?

 

[PKZap27]

Make a cap for the end of it that is cut away in one spot so you can turn the cap to shut it off.

 

[VWFringe]

or clear nail polish to insulate - is there any danger to palming it and making direction connection from one end to the other? (i'm slightly buzzed, so pardon me if this is rediculous...i'm enjoying the idea that i could go one better and make my hand the switch, rofl...)

wonderful solution

EDIT: wow, there are huge holes in my knowledge of electricity, hahaha
