Hey guys,

My old crappy taped mod died after 5 months of use, which I think is not that bad :p but it WAS my first mod ever. I went without 5 volt vaping for a few weeks because of this and was missing the experience horribly.

The Switch was the Achilles Heel of my old fugly MOD, so I decided to get a bigger (And hopefully more durable) 3 amp switch from The Source.

The Old 5 Volt PT:


This MOD sure was fugly, even I admit it, haha. But you guys were kind to me and didn't put down any of my aspirations. I decided to re-make it and use some more of the knowledge I have acquired.

The New 5 Volt PT:


No more tape on the top and bottom to secure anything. In fact, there is no tape at all. I lightly epoxied everything in place so I could service it when it inevitably breaks too.



For these pictures I used a standard 510 atty with a HappyVaper SS T-Tip, I would have shown it with my silver 510 LR atty to complete the look of it, but knowing my luck... I would accidentally activate the switch :blush:



The only re-used pieces are the thread and USB cable, and it works amazing with 510 Cartos. :ohmy:

This only cost me $2 for the flashlight, $7 for two switches, and the USB cable is an ancient one I found laying around the house, and 15 minutes of soldering/ epoxying the switch, thread and end caps.

Anyway, works great and I just wanted to show it off and thank you all for helping me break into modding.

Now I just need to come up with an idea for a new, battery powered MOD to have as a backup for when my eGo dies while I'm on the go. :toast:
 
the first mod is always sort of the ulgy duckling of the bunch.
hell, mine was a syrunge turned into a ecig. yet i think the idea that my maglite (current mod) was at my brothers shop and i threw that together in about 45mins was kind of impressive. i used the most random of things to slap it together. dremel buffing pad, cdrom drive screw for (+) connection.. lol
