My First 3.7 Mod - Altoids Small Tin

[hillock]

I've wanted to create my own e-cig for a while. Accumulated all the necessary modding tools yet never started. Ironically, it wasn't until I actually quit vaping that I decided to build my first mod box as an emergency vapemod if I REALLY need it.

It's a regular 3.7v mod in an altoids small can with a digital read out for the battery level.
Size is for 18350 AW ICR.

Great job! I didn't know all that could fit in a smalls. Pic of internals?

Awwww it's a cute mini one

Does this close all the way naturally without being bulged out or anything? I have several of these tins and just eyeballed a 18350 next to it and it seems to be a couple of mm too flat. Nice getting all that in there, but is there something the pics aren't showing?

Your right in the fact that originally the 18350 would be a smidgen too big for the case. But this can be address in 2 ways: (1) Alter the hinges on the other side so it evens out or (2) use the top cover as a "cover" instead of a "swinging" cover. Mine does bulge a little bit though.

Well hey, I'm surprised it fits as well as it does. Way to make it happen.
