And you're done.... or just getting started!!
Having 3 different ones, which switch do you prefer?

I swapped the black & white backs for a different look. I favor the white soft touch switch but you better have a main shut-off! It doesn't take much to trip it. The horn-style is great, appears to be good for heavy use and easy to find in the dark.

BUT the mini push in the flashlight seems to have problems. I have to fiddle with it to get it to work sometimes. I KNOW it's not a connection problem. To even make it worse, I epoxied all connections and filled the top with JB Weld prior to sealing the top for an even balance, so if this switch decides to go out, it's ALL toast.

Lesson learned: I have a new breadboard now and will ALWAYS test everything before it goes in.
 
Very nice work and I like all 3 of them. Madvapes is a good source for a lot of mod parts and their 5v LDO regulator is very easy to work with so don't wait any longer, you've already got the skills.

True, but the one I really need with the control leg is OUT OF STOCK! I don't know of a proper substitute...
 
looks like you did a good job on those.. which did you start out with first? im assuming you had some electrical knowledge before hand..


Hey thanks, Mud. I went with the boxes first. The LightSabre is basically the same circuit but the challenge was the work and time modifying stuff to make the battery ends. I've tinkered with some electrical stuff in the past but not very much.

I think I found a new hobby.....I just need more $$ to support it!
 
Now that`s a great start on a nice collection of Mods. :thumbs:

Reminds me when I started. 2 box mods then the 9 LED flashlight.
It`ll never stop I`m thinking. There are just to many things to stick batteries in out there. :blink:

Me either. I keep an eye open all the time for stuff like electric toothbrushes and what-not, always on the lookout for a cool box!
