My first flashlight mod

[asnider123]

Hi there, Alan again .. not enough posts to put this where it really belongs

My first do-it-yourself 'screwdriver' or flashlight mod ???? Aluminum 3-piece body, momentary switch, 510 connector, 18500 LiIon battery. No LED on this one, couldn't figure out an attractive place to put one. As with my boxmod, it vapes nicely.

Made entirely of recycled parts. Cost: $0.00 ... that's possibly the best part of all

Basically, this is a 3-pc triple-aaa flashlight. The nice thing about it was the removable head. The other nice thing is that a 18500 liion fits perfectly (I am using a 14500 with a sleeve right now)


I gutted the head and did all my work in that one section. Replaced the click switch with a momentary one


Mounted a 510 battery connector where the leds used to be (note the little wire: it is to get a good ground from the connector to the case)


Replaced the original battery connector (just a little metal head) with a battery spring I had left over from my boxmod


Topped it off with a washer


Little drops of super glue gel here and there and Bob's Your Uncle.
Also, I got a washer that lets me use a510 to 801 adapter, so by recessing the 510, I am able to screw in a 801 adapter and make it look like it was made that way

Well, there it is: 'ALAN'S 510 / 801 3.7v Screwdriver'

Wow, wishing I had some clue what I was doing, I would love to do something like that. It is very cool! I was trying to figure out how you did the part where the bulb used to be, now I see. Big washer! That's very cool. Great work.

Very inspirational asnider123. When I first started vaping I was after the look and feel of an analog. 2 weeks into it now and I don't really care what it looks like as long as it works. Someone in these forums said something that rings true for me and that is I traded my addiction to analog to a eCig hobby. It's incredible.. Still addicted to the nicotine though LOL.
