MOD body recomendation

[bstedh]

I am looking for recommendations on a body for two mods. I have been looking at everything I see and haven't come across something yet that looks just right.

1x 18650 with room for VV buck/boost

2x 18650 with romm for VV OKR

I do not want a standard box mod. I am looking for something kinda ergonomic. I realize that these batteries are going to make the mod fairly big but the smaller the better.

I'm thinking something wide at the bottom for the 2x and narrows at the top. "coffin" shaped =] maybe.

get yourself a nice hardwood and just cut away everything that doesn't look like what you want.

That.

Or...

Magic Sculpt.

 

[bstedh]

Too much construction time =] I'm hoping to find something that is just right that can be gutted =] Tearing something apart is half the fun...

Vampfangs Coffin Gift Boxes

Possibly the jewelry box, but might be too small.

These might work as well...I think they still sell them at craft stores like michaels or hobby lobby

That might be pretty sweet. I will have to mock up a cardboard one to see how it will sit in the hand.

Sone joystick handles may work.

I have always wanted one made from an old atari controller, but thats just me.

I'm following this thread too because I'm getting the parts together for a mod now. The widest selection of boxes I've found is on ebay but, it's tricky to get the search critieria right.

I found some key fob remote boxes at Digi Key that look promising for a single AAA or AA sized battery. I am kicking around the idea of getting one of them for a stealth key-chain vape =] I didn't book mark them when I came across them so I don't have a link unfortunately.

I was thinking about using a 18650 battery case 2 x parallel connection DIY case - eBay (item 190531401443 end time Jul-07-11 22:26:09 PDT)

Looks like room for some stuff in top and its rounded-ish

I like the fact that it has rounded edges.

There's a nice mod using that enclosure on VF in the modder's section, evercool + recessed map tank.

 

[Worldgod]

Wow...yea more room in there than I thought. Could probably put a boost chip in there as well (not with the recessed MAP tank prolly) and keep the parallel setup goin. I'm gonna order that case on payday

I've found the 4050 with a couple of caps takes less room than the 8100 with PCB and resistors and caps. As long as the switch isn't excessively large it should fit fine.

That's a really nice box! I would switch it to series and put in a switching regulator. I would like to find one to stack 2 18350s and a switching regulator
