I was doing some thinking about how small a mod could get. I know the main point of mods is to get better battery life, but what if you wanted to take it in the other direction? Highping's epoxy mod and the jumpstart mod are pretty damn small, but I think you could get smaller.
I believe the smallest protected battery you can buy without custom manufacturing is a 14250 (half AA). At 350mAh, it has more juice than any of the standard e-cig batteries, and it's much shorter (27mm). Allowing for 8mm worth of connector and thin aluminum or brass casing, you could potentially have a device that measures only about 70mmx15mm including a standard cartomizer.
The trick is offsetting the atty connector to one side, then having a half collar on the other side to house a MOSFET and SM tact switch.
I'm fairly certain that actually making one of these is beyond my abilities - definitely so with the tools I have available. However, if you do posses the requisite skills and machinery, feel free to steal the idea.
