Howdy all, me and my first DIY mod

[tombeau]

Hello all! My wife has been sending me stuff on here to read for a while now, so I thought I would post something finally.

I've vaped for 2 years now, after smoking for 20. I started with E9's but recently moved to an EGO rig.

After seeing all the crazy mods that are available, I thought "Hey! I can make that!" (I really wanted one of those wooden cube ones, but...someday...haha)

My wife already posted a pic in another thread but as a newbie I can't get any feedback there. So, let me know what you think:

It's made from a HAKK0 FX 901 battery powered soldering iron. I bought it a couple of years back because it came with a free pair of wire cutters. The soldering iron and wire cutters together were cheaper than the ones I was just about to purchase. And it sat in a drawer for 2 years (the wire cutters have seen a lot of use over those years)

I learned a lot looking at the tutorial here:

How to Build the Puck e-Cig Battery Mod - Part 1 - The PUCK eCig Mod

Working well so far!

Well that's awesome tom, way to go!!! I wouldn't even know where to begin doing anything like that. Sometimes I wish I had the skills that some of the fantastic people on here possess, how cool would that be? Welcome to the forum, it's so great to have you here!!!

 

[SeaTownLassy]

Wow, thats so cool! I'm pretty dumb when it comes to building stuff like that. Maybe one day I'll try my hand at a DIY mod. Great work!!

 

[Smokachino]

Awesome! Where shall I send my order?

Ok..I'm totally dieing laughing here.

It does work better than any of the "gas station" ecigs I've ever bought in an emergency though!

Welcome to ECF. I'll claim this dork... he's my hubby

Awesome looking mod!

Since you've proven yourself at making an unusual mod, try a shoe mod next... Think of how cool it would be to have a Get Smart style mod... hahaha

 

[InTheShade]

Are you kidding me Tombeau? That is awesome

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought you'd made a mod out of an empty Mobil1 container

 

[TomCatt]

I went from the cig-a-likes to making Puck mods, then to getting some 'store bought' mods

Stop by the Modding forum; lots of good ideas there for your next project

Ingenious, I was thinking of making a coffee cup mod somehow, which would be stealthy for me since I always have my coffee cup ;-)

 

[Red_Bird]

Good stuff, Tom.


Surprised you waited this long to jump on in. Anytime you need any help I'll be there for ya. Stick around, man.

Someone out there already made a coke can mod, I think a coffee cup would be even better! If looking to stealth vape you could just blame the vapor on a fresh brew of hot coffee

I was thinking that same thing. I'd have to limit myself to coffee flavors though. Some people have strong noses.

Hot chocolate? Latte?

With a bit of wire, you can get the innards into just about anything. The chosen battery size is the limiting factor.

How about the square 6 Volt lantern battery as a source? Not rechargeable, of course, but they ought to last a day or two...

I'm not sure that those lantern batteries could supply the large drain (high current) needs of a atomiser coil, but you could probably fit 4 18650s inside the shell of one lol

Useful sharing.It's great.

 

[Dynila]

Heh. I have a project for you. After seeing a few avatars on here that are 'smoking gun' images with cigarettes sticking out of the barrel I'm wondering... Could you mod a battery powered hot glue gun? I'll supply the raw materials

Welcome to ECF, that's awesome.

Welcome to ECF. I'll claim this dork... he's my hubby

So, what I'm hearing is, he comes by the dorkiness by association?

Welcome to the forums, tombeau! You got some catching up to do before you'll surpass your wife! I've heard she's even re-coiling her Kangers.

Awesome mod neighbor!
