HAAAHHHOOO I got my first mod box working

[tims]

I've been getting the stuff together, and finally put together a 4X AA USB changer. I took the USB part out and put a 1/4 jack in, plus added a Rshack M button hooked it all in and tested it. Volts checked out at over 5 volts, I'm using a 801 atom setup.

I put some cherry Vhigh juice in, it seems a little weak on flavor but good vapors. I can feel the nicotine and it's a bit harsh as I'm vapin, but I got the cherry to mix once I get the mod box's done. It's long and a bit heavy, but I like it for at home usage it's great.

I didn't soilder anything at all, I got a new solidering gun but good old duck type worked fine. Anyway the 4X AA seems to be working great, it needs to get the atom burned in. Once it is I'm sure the harshness will go away, and the cherry flavor will come out better as well. It feels good getting it done, and even better using it for sure.

I too used a 4 AA box for my last mod. I also have a 5 volt power supply I use with the 901. 5 volts just seems too hot. I do NOT get the same good taste as with 4 volts. So my solution is to use 3 batteries, just have to cut down the power supply to ~4 volts. Thinking a couple of diodes will do the trick.

I prefer using this mod to the store bought. Even has room for a juice syringe "mod". Keep modding.

Its a great feeling when you get your first great hit out of your very own hand made MOD. Now you will look at everything a lil different "I can mod that" LOL
Happy vaping!!!

What kind of batteries are you using? Regular aas? Nimh rechargeable? How many? How long do they last?

I'm using new high grade 2200 mah Nimh rechargeable's, I have not used it till they are dead yet. When I get some time I'll take some photo's of it, I'm now ready to start on my 2nd mod box.

It is a bit harsh for me, I may try to find away to lower the volts some. I thought that after the atom is burned in, and some stronger flavor would fix the harshness. But it may be a little to high voltage, the draw seems a bit hard, and that may make the harshness as well.

I know I could do it once I got started, but it does feel great but I also felt bad as well. We should not have to mod ecig's because they are so badly made, they could of made them much better and to hold charges longer.

A poorly made ecig will keep most people I know, from ever even trying one because it would be a bad pain for them. They just want some thing, they don't have to mess with or having it break a lot. My mom asked and I tell her it's not for her, same with my dad they could of done ecig's right.

There is no reason not to have them built nice and soild, have carts that last a while, and battery's that do the same and no reason. People should not have to drip to get a good vap, or may be I'm asking for to much, and in the year 2009 it can't be done. May be the tech is years off, kind of like the tech to go green so many year off as well.

If using a dc jack connector, splice apart a little the two halves of the centrer pole/pin. Gives better electrical contact too.
