My 18650 Copper Mod (With exploded pictures)

[DuineAnaithnid]

SO I made this guy almost a year ago now, but I figured it was time to share.

This thing has been my reliable standby, never failing me while other devices have been tossed to the wayside.



The first picture is of the assembled mod, second of all the parts and the third of the atty toucher (maybe a better way to describe this) assembly.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

First question I have is how much did it cost to make? If it's affordable, I'd really like to see a tutorial on this! I made a box mod and for my next I want a mechanical switch tube. That's what this is, right?

Interesting.

So basically you are sliding the battery against the spring to the atty connector?

Yes, it is a mechanical switch.

The cost for the pats should amount to about $25 if you have all the tools you need already (pipe cutters, torch, drill) and I used a trumpet valve spring (I work at a music shop) but I am sure it would be easy to find a suitable substitute.

The part with the nylon spacers has an RCA jack inside of it that I tore apart and stuck inside with heat shrink tubing. That sits on top of the battery with the spring between it and the top cap that has the atty connector soldered in.
