I want to build my first mod

[RichieRich]

I havent been very mechanical in years, but I am pretty confident I can do it. I just need to know what I need to buy. mad vapes has a 3.7V kit on sale for $7.99. Is that the way to go to start? I have not vaped on anything other than an Ego. And, a 510 many years ago.

Battery Mods

You will find many mods here.

You will find that here are two types of modders here, the electronic geniuses who build unbelievable mods from scratch (not me) and those of us that just assemble mods from various components some preassembled.

To 'get your feet wet', the MadVapes kits are nice. Since you've used 510/eGos, the 3.7V kit should be perfect. However, if you go with VV you can get 3.7V up through 5 or 6V. And, at least for me, once I tried vaping at higher than 3.7V, I can't go back, just not the same .
Using the eBay converters to get VV isn't all that much more complicated than a 3.7V mod.

However you proceed, Welcome to the wonderful wacky world of modding!

I would say try the vv kit they have its not hard and works good

 

[RichieRich]

my goal is to do a vv. I have a vision in my head of what I want but I was thinking the 3.7 would help get my feet wet.

my vision: vv box, small. Smaller the better. I also want to either bottom feed or top feed. I'm leaning toward top feed. Something about exposed tubing sounds sexy . What do you guys think is better?

the big question though is can I fit all this in a 2xAA box?

Start simple, build it RIGHT, and then use the experience to move on to more complex mods.
Good clean solid connections, STRAIGHT battery connector, and neatly done epoxy......

Look around the forum for pics of mods folks make; the well made ones are easy to spot; they don't have a bunch of slop in the box and everything fits together really well. I enjoy seeing someone post a well made mod because it shows they take pride in what they do.

Best wishes with your build...it's a lot of fun.

thanks bj. I'm gonna check those out and narrow down my search.

You might check out this thread for an easy to build bottomfeeder w/(mostly) madvapes parts;

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/95728-tutorial-juicebox-around-8-a.html

I built one with a few changes. Used silicone tubing instead of copper, with a piece of 16g needle(also from MV) soldered into the positive pole of the 510 connector. Works great!

 

[RichieRich]

yeah Para. I am thinking getting it right with a cheap and easy mod and working my way up. I'd rather mess up on an $8 mod first.

 

[RichieRich]

I want something like that Rainz, but can I fit parts for a vv in there, safely?

 

[Rainz]

Not sure about that... others here will know more about VV. It was pretty tight, you might have to step up to a 3AA box for that if you also want juice feeding.
