My 3.7v and 5v NicoSticks (pics)

[Shortstuff116]

I have to once again say Thank You to NicoWolf for her inspiration and madvapes for the parts and instructions, which I couldn't have done these without.

I've been very happy for the past month using my 3.7v NicoStick and it has been providing me with an average of 8 hours of use per battery and a consistently great vape. This one has a red LED.

I only wanted to build my own 5v unit to say that at least I tried it and all I can say is that it really makes a difference! It only takes about a 2 to 3 second vape and it give a much greater throat hit and a lot more vapor. I won't know for some time how long the pair of 14500's will last in this 5v mod, but I can be sure that if I'm in the mood for some strong, effective vapes, this will do it. It's cranking out exactly 5.3volts. This one has a green LED.

Thanks to everyone whose input and posts have made these mods very easy to build.

Nice work short.
I have been using the 3 AA boxes for my 5 volt mods. I was thinking of using a 4 AA box on my next one, and using the 4th battery space to recess the atty, or hollow it out for atty/tip storage. Has anyone else tried this? I have seen the nicosticks with the atty partially recessed. There just does not seem to be enough room to recess the atty on a 5 volt unit in a 3 AA box. Transport with the atty attached seems to make the device very vulnerable. I thought about using velcro to hold the atty to the side of the 3 AA enclosure, but heat could be a problem. I thought mayba a couple of clips to attach the atty to the side of the box during transport, but they would probably catch on everything. Any ideas?

Well now on top of all the mod stuff I'm working on already. I now just ordered the stuff for this one. See what you did by making such a nice mod. No really thanks for the info and pics.

I know that with some thought you will find something that will work for you. I remember seeing one guy that made a sweet mod that had a "flip" type atty/cart that folded down and clipped into a storage clip when not in use, a really sweet idea.

I did remember seeing another great mod one member did and finally found the thread. Go here and go down the page to post #7 and take a look at what he did. You'll see that at least he got a great storage solution from it too.

Hope this helps.
