my first mod

[lynch]

Made my first 3.7 mod and the th and vapor is awesome, also brought stuff to make a 5V but if I knew these would be so good I would have just got these.
Thanks to all that posted tips on making mods, I even connected the wires to the battery connector what a pitb will be buying prewired ones from now on.

If you do find yourself doing this, a visit to Gummy's Free Clinic may be in your future

Congrats from another first time modder, built my first one over the weekend. There's something so satisfying about producing vapor from something you put together

Yep wiring the battery connector is indeed a PITA, but as per suggestions from other members I didn't even bother disassembling it on my second mod, I soldered that sucked in there as-is and it took me all of 10 seconds but I can see how it would be easy to melt that grommet so gotta be careful.

I just did that without taking bat connector apart and it came out good. Its a hell of a lot easy, but me like a dummy picked up the connector before it had a chance to cool off...OUCH.
Madvapes has the prewired ones for a buck more going to get them also.

I was considering order the pre-wired ones as well but because they're not always in stock I figured it's better if I just order a s**tload of connectors and practice until I get it right and I can do it with my eyes closed

If you really want to build your mod totally from scratch, here's a way to make your own batt connector from MadVapes website.

And here are tap and die sizes for common atty/batt threads.

I haven't tried this yet, but keep meaning to

Well FWIW there is nothing wrong with using the unsealed connectors (the ones with the hole). You just use the right sized wire (go for a semi-tight fit), pre-tin it with solder, shove it in the hole (make sure it's a little less than flush on the atty end) and just heat for a few seconds. The resultant joint is usually quite solid and easier to do right.

After you've tried a few atties/cartos it's a good idea to fill the whole cavity with epoxy. This usually helps keeps the center post in the right spot, so hopefully it will never get pushed in and lose contact.
