You might find one on something like an old motherboard or something out in the shed... just the leads will be short on it.

Wow!! I'm amazed to see over 10 pages of discussion on this little mod
Curvy: Don't forget to just try another standard atty on it before deciding it needs a major overhaul.
Just a little history of where it came from. I picked it up with some other mods, etc...in the classifieds. I used it with basic (no idea of exact ohms/voltage) attys for a couple of days, but didn't like how hot 5v was. It was tested with an atty I was currently using right before sending it out. It fired up perfectly again. Unless something happened in transit, I think it's just being touchy about whatever atty is being used.
I could be wrong since I didn't use it for a long period of time, though. I hope you can get it going again Curvy! It is a pretty cool little mod for someone who likes higher voltage. Good luck and maybe you can make it into a variable. That would be even better

Thanks trouble!!! I completely believe that it worked fine since I can get my LR atty to work. I've been having trouble getting these atties to work good on the Juice Box that I got shortly after this one, so it's no surprise that the atties may be to blame. LOL I'm not giving up and I'm still completely thrilled that you were kind enough to give this to me. If anything, it's inspired me and the hubby to try our hands at modding!!! With the help of the friendly folks here at ECF, I'm sure we'll have it vaping our fave jucies in no time!! (Provided I can ever make it to RS! LOL)

Oh yea, I have no idea that the cap replacement will change the way a given atty will work (or not) in this mod, but for sure it shouldn't have bare wires in it.
@ trouble
your a cool guy for the PIF.

Okay, so I found the capacitor at RS!!!! I know....FINALLY! Life gets a little crazy in the household with the end of the school year fast approaching. I'm not going to attempt doing anything with it this evening, but I'm willing to try to solder in it tomorrow....Or should I say the hubby will attempt to solder it in... My friend shipped me a regular atty from a different vendor on Friday, so I will let you all know how it works when it makes it here.

Just please no bling on the cap itself, it needs to fit back where it was
I'm kinda surprised the local RS could deal with this on there own, without hitting up the warehouse.

I promise...no bling on the cap, but the box itself is a whole different ballgame! LOL

Didn't want to leave everyone hanging. Hubby is having a *little* trouble soldering the capacitor in since the loose wires in the box are very short (the red one anyway)....Stay tuned for updates tomorrow as he's gone to work this evening...... Oh, and the atty that was being sent to me was ripped out of the package....Thanks USPS.... GRRRRRRRRR

Hahahahhaha!! So any thoughts about the pyrex tank yet????
For some reason, that thread was locked....
Oh man gummy.... I didn't recognize your avatar (woodstock in headdress)!
P.S. Bet a virtual nickel that the atty would have worked........... atty was "ripped out of the package"? Odd. Dang. Setback.

Yup, ripped right on out of the package along with the tank she was sending me.... I'm still livid!!! I have some CE2 XLs coming in soon though from Good Prophets. It's my first order with them, so I don't know how long it usually takes, but they said it's been shipped.

now i'm post office paranoid.......grrrrrrrrrr
Beck, tell your husband to use "flux" or soldering paste, apparently it makes it much easier when soldering & the Rosin Core Solder. It's silver solder which is a very good conductor. They actually use silver solder on the space shuttles.
(ooooooooh yeah baby, hopefully my next mod can take me to the moon & back!!!!)

This is actually a good thread I've got resistors if you still need them........then again........the post office likes my stuff too much so they rip open my packages.
