Hey everyone;

So, I've been building a lot of FlashMods lately, and my latest itch was to make something with a dual exhaust! I still have to come up with a more precise method of drilling the holes/better glue (I used a mix of E6000 and super-glue for the prototype)...but with a bit more finesse, I should be able to make commercial-level FlashMods such as this.

All I know is that two atties ARE better than one!!! This thing's rocking a 3000mah BRC 18650 from madvapes, and it doesn't seem to be suffering any power suffocation by using this particular battery. I'll have to get some high-drain 18650's to really see what it's really capable of, however I'm satisfied with it thus far. I'm throwing on some pics, and one for size comparisons...tell me what ya' think! :)

Looks good and powerful, I too would 2nd the one mouthpiece idea, something in rubber maybe, y-shaped? And hey, whats the mod black with 2 silver bands in the bottom of the last pic? Another flashlight?

That one's a 14500 mod I made from a Home Depot flashlight...I left the bottom switch assembly intact, as disassembly of the "test dummy" unit showed little/no potential for momentary conversion. That said, you have to click it twice: once to vape, once to turn off. It's actually not as awkward to use as it sounds, and makes a nice little unit.

As for power...YEAH...This thing OWNS. I would *love* to see what it's capable of with a high-drain batt in place, but it's pretty powerful as-is. While I think the Y-adapter mouthpiece would prove useful, it would be impractical with daily use, especially come refill-time. Instead, I'm designing future revisions such that the angle of the connectors will allow the mouthpieces to meet each other in side-by-side, allowing for one wide, thin mouthpiece. I've got a rubber band around the two LR atties, and that's keeping the mouthpieces squeezed together for the moment.

Like I said, this one's just a proof of concept for me, merely to see what I'm capable of...and see if the device would be feasible under such a load without going haywire/blowing up/etc. So far, so good! Eventually, I want to build these kinds of devices on the regular and see if my work's worth a few bucks, so I need all the practice I can afford to take! :D
