Nice! This is a conspiracy to make me order more mod parts isn't it? lol.. I REALLY need to try a 5v mod soon.

That's great, thank you! What button did you use? Also, do you know if the master on/off switch can be removed from a batt box to use elsewhere or is it not worth trying to get that thing out?

ooooh YEAH!!

I used a new switch that I'll have on the site soon. It's a tactile but has a silver ball bearing like top. I wanted to test one before selling them.. Works good with a loud positive click. I think the 6mm tactile would work good here also..

Master switch is only worth removing if you need more room in the box otherwise it has no casing and really can't be used elsewhere.

RS's selection (in store at least) of slide on/off switches is terrible. Sometimes a mod in a non battery box is cool but it's more work and parts sometimes can be tougher to deal with (like trying to get batteries into a box that wasn't made for batteries!).

I love the low profile switches and can't wait to get a hold of your new one. Though it'll be awhile before I get around to using it (I've got a dual rocker I'm dying to make the right case for, and might try a juice bottle on this one too - all of which is waiting until I figure out this damn spring/magnet problem!).

well heck now you got me wondering if I should toss in another order and get one of those boards before I do my first one lol

 

[MastiffMike]

I'm STILL putting off the soldering on the mod I'm working on but I can't see how the board wouldn't make it MUCH easier!

And you know with Madvapes quick shipping you'll have it in a couple of days!

 

[Thyestean]

lol exactly

What is that bread board stuff? Got a source for it?

I cant Google it as I don't know what its called.

Thanks

Hi Jason, I think it was called prototype board or something like that. I've got some big sheets that I'll be slicing up and putting on MadVapes. Seems to cut pretty well with cutters although I'm thinking a score with a razor and snap might be cleaner.

Mmmmm. I love that switch! I can just see them in my parts bin! You never disappoint Hoog!

I think you did this for me

I forgot to order a regulator when I ordered my box and switch though, so i will need to wait until my next order to actually make this.

 

[hoogie76]

Chef Scott got a hold of the 5 volter tonight and it was a struggle to get it back..

I'm big on testing and this is the first mod that I built start to finish with only 1 test, the battery voltage in the pics.. I wanted to see if what I was feeding you guys worked..

As soon as you get that switch on the site I think I'm going to build a couple more of these, I like how that one looks.. I passed my 5V box around to friends at work who vape and now they have a hard time going back to their 3.7V batteries.. so I told them I would make them some

 

[MastiffMike]

Stomp, when you gonna swing by my house and do a little soldering for me?!?!

Seriously though, IMHO it'd be cool if you could buy the regulator already wired up (obviously the wires would have to be 4-6" long and then novice modders like me could just cut to length and then solder onto the other components). I know there's no way to have everything pre-soldered but there's a lot going together at the reg. and it'd be handy to not have to deal with it! Or maybe I'm just lazy and unskilled!
