the tubing is an IV tubing i borrowed from the hospital and the connectors are some necklaces jewelry DIY that screw to each other. i got them from michaels craftstore. it reads "findings hidden knot barrel clasps".
Everyone is doing a wonderful job here with their concepts...
I made one... high voltage, bottle, light, resistor, tubing... RN4081 atty/connector LiFePO4 14500 batteries (x2)... vapes like a champ...

Okay, your great mods have me doing nothing but lurk in my own thread!
To all: With the size of tubing that you are using... does it easily flood the atty? Mine is much smaller and I still flooded the atty once this past week. (okay, it was on my way home from work, while I was driving and a bit overzealous on vaping!)
MisterD.... (BTW, I love your mod with the flashlight head turned around!)... I would worry a bit about using jewelry due to the fact that it is made in China and remember the news reports about the poison they had in kids jewelry not too long ago? We have to worry about what the attys are made of already... I just try to keep any new concerns to a minimum. (Not that I haven't or wouldn't have tried it or other experiments too. Or, that using tube and fittings from a lighter like I did is proven any safer!) Great and humerous Mod bottle adapters by the way! There are two ideas that you have mentioned lately that have me pondering on attempting when I get a chance.
MisterD asked for pics of the cart/tube connector I used so I took some today:
I don't have many stores close by where I'm at... but I did check Lowes out very heavily in an attempt to come up with adapters for these juice boxes. The best thing I have found so far that is feasible would be to buy small brass screws, cut off the ends and drill a hole through them. I wish I had bought some to try out. Will in the future and post my results somewhere.
(/me back to lurking and working on the "how-to" now)

I like the brass fittings on the feed tube. It gives it a finished look instead of a hose going through the body. Tou did a nice job on canting the switch and the LED plus the bottle. I like it all you did an excellent job.
Thanks 5CardStud!
BTW... while I'm in modding pictures and making the "how-to".... I should let you know....... I came home from work this morning and started re-modding this mod...........
I'm playing Pool with it presently............
I'm gonna put this Button in the corner pocket... and color it purple:
announcer:
"Lady's and Gentlemen..... can she do it? Or will she ruin her Nico-Drip V2 like she did to the original Nico-Drip?!?!?! Stay tuned to this MadVapes interNetwork to find out more!"

Voila! Fini! 
I'm sorry but I really feel better at work with the purple one. The pearlized Turquoise is a beautiful color and I did not put much gloss on that to really bring it out... but it's back to pearl purple for me.
After a weeks worth of vaping freely on it... I decided to put in an unmodded horn button switch and move it up a notch to be more in the corner. Although its location will be in it's testing mode for the next week also.
Anyone making this remember..... you do not need to stick with the horn button switch if you do not want to. I like it because it has proven itself such heavy-duty reliability and because it is form fitting. As you saw with the original in this thread... you can even file it to new shapes.... to meld in with your design.
As I've proven here.... the switch can be replaced if needed.... and these little plastic battery boxes that MadVapes sells can be screwed up, filed, grinded, sanded, melted and painted and still come out very nice in the end!
The slow changing LED on the inside has also changed location since the first pics here but it works just as efficiently at illuminating the juice in the bottle.
The top heart has proven to me that everything is that much better if you put a little heart into what you do! Not only does it serve as possibly pretty... but it also serves as a fluid flow indicater. When you squeeze the bottle... the LED is lighting up the tubing through the heart. Even in the dark, you can see the juice going up. It gets to the heart of the matter!
The lower heart will always remind me now of my brother, Connman, whom I love dearly and has always been my partner in crime! It will remind me of him because he was the one to bring to me this little transparent red plastic strip and a wonderful concept. Put on the back of the heart... when the LED changes colors..... that little heart only lights up when the color is on red. Therefore, the heart actually pulses! At night it is simple but thrilling to see. Heart lights up red.... LED illuminating the inside.... LED changes colors..... heart disappears.... LED cycles through the rainbow of colors... Heart lights up again. One would think there are two LEDs in the box. I'll have to make an animation maybe?
The little dot that glows between the two hearts is a glass bead that is melted in with a soldering iron from the other side. Wanted to test this because people could put their names or stuff on the boxes using this method. It lights up from catching the glow of the LED. Would be great as stars! Being a poet, it also has come to symbolize something to me.... it reminds me of the poem "The Dash" by Linda Ellis..... and anyone who has read that poem knows that is something worthy of being reminded of!
"The Dash"

So.... the beauty of this one is more than simple beauty.... it is extremely functional to me, inside and out, in both vaping and soul searching! It is my Zen Mahmba! I think I've reached the peak!
Now that I've created a work-horse to ride on for anyone willing to travel this road.... it's back to installing that voltage regulator into Nico-Drip version 1 for me! Or building the 5volt........ or......... ?.....!.....
Oh, that "Dash"!
(/me not sure she wants the V1 now though because it doesn't carry an extra atty for comfort and security like the V2.

Beautiful, Dreams! I got my order from MV yesterday and 4 days off! Gotta get to work...LOL
Thank you MisterD and Stormi!
4 days off?! I am on my third night off out of three and lovin' it! Just responded a bit ago to your mod, Stormi, in the Modders forum. Great idea and setup! So...... should MadVapes start carrying vibrators now? LoL! Talk about a one stop shop!
Just posted this in the Modders Forum so we'll see how it goes and I'll get outta peoples hair here.
May get around to working on the nico-drip v1 regulator experiment today.... if I blow up, Connman can let ya all know!

I wish he carried the tube at least! I have so many bottles of hairspray with no tubes, you wouldn't believe it!
