I built a GOOSENECK!!!

[Diagasa]

Ok so let me start by saying that I will probably never make another one. I spent almost two hours on it and I'm still waiting for the headache to go away!

I used a pipe cutter to split an xl dual coil carto and used it for my end caps. I then tore apart a gooseneck candle lighter and ran wires through it. Then I soldered up the salvaged carto end and a spare 510 connection that I salvaged from an old yeti battery. Next I pressed it together and proceeded to vape my face off.

Now I know why these are $20 from TTTE. These things are an extreme pain in the tookus to make!
Price rundown:
Salvaged parts~ Free
Labor~ Minimal
Skill~ Soldering
Patience~ High
Final Note~ Just buy one!!!!

That's so cool!!! You should make instructions on how you made it. I'm a broke college student that could really use a homemade gooseneck.

making one of anything is a PIA, but you did it.. and are enjoying the result.
good choice on the candle lighter salvage..

I am so glad I won one in a contest, I do not have any form of patience or twenty dollars to spend on one.

Looks good!

Here's another easily adapted tool for a goosenecker.

Good job diagasa!!

I made one a couple months ago out of a usb led lamp that you plug into laptops on the go. I just cut the ends off and essentially did the same thing with the connectors. It is almost twice as long as the one from TTT

I'm now looking into using some clear vinyl tubing from Ace. It wont have much flex or stability but it will sure look cool being that it will be see through! I also picked up a black goose from Walmart today... So much to do, so few days off.... I'll keep ya'll posted. I think the black one will become a permanent feature on a box mod I have planned.....

 

[Diagasa]

Ok, slight snag... I'm out of 510 connectors . I hope to get some ordered soon because I have a few mods I want to make...
Also the black goose is too big in diameter... back to my local f&h for the silver ones.

Bump! I will make a step by step tutorial on my next one!

Check out Good Prophets for 510 connectors - 5+ @ $0.99 each.

These laptop leds are easy to convert.

Hey, WTG, guys. I admire your ingenuity. I'm sure I'll be doing something along those lines soon. I'm envisioning that (I forget what you call it) flexible casing that's on metallic-clad house wiring, with heat-shrink tubing on it maybe. I'll have to look at it to check its size.

That be called conduit cable...but 3/8" is the smallest I believe....and there is coated stuff also....have fun.

I just looked at what I have - 12/2 w/ ground, metallic. Too big. Maybe 14/2 w/g...
Meh, it was just an idea off the top of my head based on what I have around here. I'm sure better ideas will pop up.

cool sig, Nico
