Homemade Mods

[SammyT]

tips for you...
Where to begin? If you use an altoids tin, do yourself a favor and use a step drill bit to drill the holes, otherwise it is a MESS! the cool thing about the altoids tin is it is really easy to recess a tank in to it. The bad thing is that it is rounded and awkward to get a battery in there straight. I just finished a 3.7v bottom feeder altoid mod for a friend of a friend. It only took a couple hours.
Use 20 gauge wire. 18 gauge is way too thick to work with, and 22 doesn't handle enough amps. For me 20 is perfect. Lets see... don't skimp on your soldering iron and solder. Get the good stuff right off the bat. Don't throw your money away on the terrible Radio shack soldering irons and solder. I have some of their lead free solder and it's awful. Use flux... on everything. Get one of the bronze sponges to de-oxidize your tip.
Other than that, take your time, have fun, and post pics of what you make!

Thanks. I just started carving out the Auburn last night. Don't know if I have it in me to do an Alabama one lol. The wood might burst into flames. J/K. However I am super excited to get those finished and wired up. I will post again when I am done. WAR EAGLE!

Awesome! only 3 bucks? I'll get one just for that purpose lol. It makes the vivi look sweet, and I don't like the big ol' honkin drip tip on it.

Well just tried a different wick today. It's called the Jack Frost Wick. It's The same but you burn it 3 times flat before rolling it. Then Roll it and burn it 3 times again and DA** it's WICKED, lol. And if you add the cotton under the coil it's even better.

Had a brain fart today while Mom was doing some sewing, lol. No more falling out of my pocket, lol

Great idea Fox!

 

[DragonXIII]

Cool idea Fox

 

[DragonXIII]

Just thought of a novel idea. I would like to see a mod made to look like a Saturn V rocket. It would go over great here in Huntsville "The Rocket City"

Just a thought.

hey fox, that vendor in your sig carries a smok vivi with an esco top cap... oh and you gotta love what they wrote on the bottom... "MADE IN THE USA" and "building new ways to vape". yeah... nothing about that atty is made in the usa, and they didn't "build" anything... just hacked the top off a VIVI and stuck the esco cap on there.
