looking for a builder

[kylecuppett]

Hello,
New to all of this so information is key.I'm looking for someone to make a box mod from an ice blue Hammond case with recessed Altsmoke metal 6ml tank.dual 18650 Batts and vv with readout.would also like an auto switch with a kill.if I could find someone to sell the circuit I'd construct the box myself.krimsonkustoms site is down and madvapes doesn't have any way I know to contact.let me know something

Your best bet is to get 5 posts so you can post in the modder's section and ask someone there.

I've been trying to educate myself as much as I can.what people are using and why.and how it would or would not suit me.thank you for the direction. The site is flat out awesome.

Here's a couple links that may give you ideas.

P.S. Document what you do, sounds like a great feature set and if you can pull it off I'm sure others would love to try too

Check around with a few folks first. Don't just go with the first person you come across. I was wanting to have something
Built to send to a buddy in Afghanistan fighting for us & I found it really odd a few of the folks wanted to take me for A ride price wise. First time I ever ran across anything like that.

Oh wow,thanks for the info.just found some nice batt holders that look sturdy at this point a diagram for the auto switch and I'm placing a parts order and sitting down and laying out the wiring and placement.searching the web for vacuum switch diagrams now..lol

Good point,comming into this blind is a recipe for disaster.I trust my assembly skills (already looking at high temp/strength epoxy to use that's non toxic).but the old saying holds true,measure twice cut once.

If only I nstill had all the tools and equipment I had before I decided to leave on an "adventure" and move 300 miles from home and end up homeless back when I was 18 lol I'd be able to design some amazign electronics and control circuits for you, thats all I did when I was younger, I was a big time electronics hobyist from building my own 8-bit game system yo building my own digital watches. But alas, it would take me years at my current rate of pay to get any where near that point again, hell the only tools I have now are screw driver set and a soldering Iron lol

I don't mean to be an ant at your picnic, but a vaccum switch, activated through a mouthpiece, in-line with a tank = disaster waiting to happen. There is a very good reason, actually a couple of them, that no high end mod has an automatic switch. Destruction from leaking is one of them. Lack of control is another. The necessity of a timed cut-off is another. Unneeded complexity is yet another. I could probably think of more if I tried.

Do yourself a big favor. Unless you have an overwhelming need for it, like vaping as you cling to an antenna tower, ditch the automatic switch idea. Your mod will be too big to use hands-free anyway, and as long as your finger is attached to the rest of whichever hand is holding the thing, pushing a button will be second-nature in no time.

Also, why dual 18650s? Is 24 hours of straight non-stop vaping too short a time? Or, is this gong to be regulated down from 7.4V instead of boosted up from 3.7V? By the time, you add the electronics and, presumably, some area for a recessed tank (not sure what you mean by that exactly), space will be at a premium. You can get a 3100mah 18650 battery. How big is this enclosure anyway? However big it is, it's going to be too big to dangle from your lips with one or two batteries, which is a good reason to nix the automatic battery spec.

Not at all,THIS is actually what I was looking for from the vets.the intent from the design was two external controls for voltage control and killswitch.the tank being recessed into the box because of people saying their tank began to leak because of repetitive blows over time.that much battery because during a work week a 6ml tank would last two days.and I HATE running out of battery midday...lol.case is 3.2x2x.8 internal.this was intended to see what was possible and what was unneeded.

If you look on krimson devils YouTube channel its the papa smurf mod,that's the case.and recessed tank 14500 I believe for the tank mod.

I see. Maybe you should investigate bottom feeders. The Reo Grande VV sounds perfectly suited to what you're after.
reosmods.com
Bottom feeders have a juice bottle built into them. You give it a little squeeze and it feeds juice into an atomizer from below.
I don't think you'll have a problem running out of battery with the sizes available in an 18650. You can get 3000mah or more. That will give you a solid 20-24 hours of use with a variable voltage, more with a fixed voltage. I vape pretty heavy and 6ml is about the high side of my daily consumption. That's about 16 hours on 6mls. You can easily do that with a 2000mah battery and a 10ml juice bottle that fits inside your box.

I don't get the thing about a tank leaking from repetitive blows. If it's a carto tank, the weak spot is the battery/carto connection. If the battery connection is strong enough, the only thing that could happen is the end of the carto gets messed up. But they're disposable anyway. The only other place for leaking is the o-rings around the carto. They're rubber, so blows won't hurt them. I guess if you made a recessed area around the battery connector, you could create a well in which the tank would sit, but you'd be giving up a lot of flexibility just to brace the joint that may or may not be vulnerable in the first place. Strikes me as more needless complexity, as well as a weak spot in the case, which might not even be thick enough to accommodate it anyway.

I really think a bottom feeder might be the ticket to what you're trying to accomplish. I'd suggest picking up a low cost fixed voltage one like the Boge Revolution, and see if the concept appeals to you. If it does, you can base a design off of that and/or the Reo.
