My first mod, The Camel Carto Box

[rotten76]

It's nothin' fancy, but I had this wood box from a camel zippo and thought it would make a nice mod. It works awesome with 510 carto's. Check it out, enjoy .

How does it latch? I've never seen one of those boxes before. I love things made of wood.

It doesn't latch. The lid is just pressure fit. I was going to add a magnet to secure it. I've been using it for two weeks and the lid has never fallen off. But if it becomes an issue the magnet is an easy fix.

I want one sooo bad. Just like that! its so nice and simple. I've always wanted to try to make one except i dont have a spare 510 atty connector from a dead battery. is there a place you can just pick those up?

Battery connectors - Wholesale & Retail Best E-smoking Supplier

Or

Battery Connectors electronic cigarettes e-cig

W/ that site i'd have to pay 15 bucks for a $6 part . where do you find the low profile buttons?

If you find a cheaper route, feel free to enlighten me! lol

Just about all the suppliers on ECF have the adapters for a couple bucks , next time you order something add one to your cart.

Exactly, just buying connectors alone doesn't seem to justify the shipping costs! lol

 

[rotten76]

You even get the adapters free with some mods. That's how I got all mine.

 

[Harleymedic53]

ya true. then all i'd need to find is the battery terminals

 

[Harleymedic53]

Oh i can use adapters? and not specific battery connectors? do the baattery connectors have like tabs on them for sodering to?

Actually, that's $6.00 for five connectors; however, if you aren't going to buy anything else, the shipping and handling is a substantial part of the sale. Whenever I've purchased from either site, I've ordered enough to spread the shipping costs out thinner.

Of course, please yourself...lol

Yes the battery connectors have tabs. Thats the easy part. The adapter is PITA solder.

I thought I had seen all the stuff from Camel (for Camel Cash) but don't remember this Zippo box.

Nice mod. It looks like you could run a 18 gauge tube from the bottom of the juice bottle into the cartomizer and have a bottom feed system.

wow, I love it. Very nice looking mod. And like that button as well. That`s one Sweet mod job.

Gotta love camel cash, this was from '98 I think.


I was going to do that. But I figured I'd keep it simple this time. I have some wood snuff boxes that I'll try a bottom feed on next time.

BTW, before I got sidetracked on connectors, I intended to compliment you on your mod. Nice job!

I think I'm addicted to modding myself! lol
