Here's my first iteration. I'm going to play with the switch, as it's very hard to press, especially with no room to grip on such a tiny hybrid.
For the + post, I used a section of brass rod, about 3/16" in diameter. I passed this through a random plastic sleeve I had in my "bits and pieces" box. It had a nice flange around the top already, which I cut down to a smaller diameter. This passed through the top cap, into battery tube and I trimmed it to extend just beyond where the battery WOULD rest, had there not been a positive post. Then I filled the inside area around the + post with epoxy to hold the post in place, and seal the battery compartment against juice leaks.
I drilled/tapped the top of the + post for a 4-40 screw. Then I drilled a small hole for the wire to go through to make it simpler to re-coil... I really prefer drilled + posts. The negative post is just a drilled/tapped 4-40 hole in the top cap. Simple, but effective.
The bottom of my drip tip is about 1mm away from the + post when everything is seated. I will probably end up trimming the drip tip so it absolutely CANNOT touch the post, but as it is now, I really doubt that would be possible, without WRENCHING down on the top cap and severely distorting the thick o-ring.
I drilled a 1.6mm air hole so it lines up perfectly when the top cap is threaded on snug, and have a reference point of where the hole should line up with the "Innokin U-Can" lettering around the lid, so I always know exactly where it belongs.
I've heard bad things about using brass in contact with juice, I'll do some more research before I really start vaping on this little guy, but I couldn't help but try a few quick toots. Even with a battery only reading 3.8V on the meter, and a used/cleaned coil I had laying around, this thing blows clouds, FAR better than I had hoped.
And I LOOOVE my mods small (I use 350 mech mods and small RDA's exclusively) and this one more than meets the criteria...
