My First Mod!

[kpfister]

18650 battery, Rad Shack switch, madvapes 510 connector, 510 atty, drip tip, 3/4" copper pipe and ends from Lowes and redneck engineered guts. I love it, so much better than my 510 batteries!

That's pretty neat. enjoy.

Nice looking little copper, pretty good for a first mod, congrats.

The copper makes it look really steampunky-coolish. I want one!

Thanks, it was fun to put together and it works great, battery has lasted me all day and it's still going strong, 15 hrs and counting! Too bad I have to leave it at home and get on a plane tomorrow. Back to 6 standard 510 batteries per day for a couple of days. Oh well, better that than go through TSA rigamarole and risk having to leave it at the gate. I guess the next mod is gonna have to look a little more security friendly.

You did a great job on it. Very nice.

Thats pretty cool, nice job. I've wanted to make one out of copper myself, or brass, i just like the way the metal looks. Did you use a guide (link?) or just come up with it yourself?

Wow.. I love the looks of it. Very cool.

 

[dizzytrmpt]

I like the copper!

Nice looking mod!

Just wondering...How are the caps attached?

 

[FreakyStylie]

I wish I had that kind of skill and ambition. Nice looking!

I know you probably don't want to take the chance, but I can almost guarantee you'll have no problems.
I think hundreds of us have taken all sorts of shapes and sizes of mods with us on flights and there are never any problems.

nice job. now you better get some polish, they get dirty easy and start to corrode.

Its just a pressure fit, they need a tiny bit of muscle to remove. Quite secure.

Well, there's not really one specific link, I was inspired by the box and copper mods in the mods section of the forum, and then I just went to lowes and looked for bits that fit together with the battery I had. I'll post a pic of the guts when I have a minute.
