So Ive only been vaping for about 3 weeks now and Im sorta still new to the forums and I'm sure a few of you have seen me posting around a few times... Anyways I decided to make a USB pass through this morning cus I was bored.

This is it! Its not pretty at all and more just jumbled together to make sure everything works well. I will be closing off the end of the silver battery casing so that the USB cord is snug. I will be putting all the wires and stuff in a nice box that the button will be attached to so its pretty and the wires will connect to the button from underneath it and the box its attached to will have the USB plug in the front for the ecig to attach to and will also have a another female usb plug in the back to plug a male to male USB cord in to plug into the computer for power.

Its not beautiful mainly because it can only be used at home and can not be brought in the car... though when its finished in its box I guess I could bring it in my car and attach it to my dashboard but that would be silly :)

I designed it around the button cus I think its a freakin awesome button. It will also be easy to fix if it ever breaks.

So I hope you like my new and very first homemade pass through! Ill post pictures when its all in a pretty box but that could be a few weeks :(

cool button.... I like to se you mount it in the e-cig ;-)


Haha oh I'm working on one like that also. Would be huge and catch alot of attention also :) I'm also gonna make one using a Reed switch.

I should also mention on a side note... Ive been vaping with it for a little while now and I decided I really like this button as a desktop button, Its comfy. I should also mention Im using a 801 penstyle with it and the freakin thing vapes like a beauty!

A magneticly operated reed switch?! How will you use it ??

Yup a magnetic switch. I have not decided yet how to use it. I have a few different ideas floating around my head. Its not gonna be easy I think, but should be fun.

Nice and simple. I like it. How about a foot pedal, if you like a big switch. Hands free, plus you can be like Peter Frampton... Wa wawawawawa.... wawawawa

I found a foot pedal switch at the store so I was actually thinking of that. Mounting it to the floor of my computer desk.

can ya do one with like disco lights between the atomizer and battery? Like the antena on my cell phone

Honestly I could do something sorta like that but I may pass. Might be more work then I have time. My stupid busy life gets in the way of my fun mod time :(

Well thats a novel idea ,A two handed ecig ..(Thats a meaty switch ,looks like one of them telegraph switches there ?)
With your left hand operating the button your right holding the ecig,
I will have to try this myself someda

Yea when i sit at my computer I hold it with my teeth and when I need a puff i hold the switch for a few seconds with my right hand and grab the ecig with my left and put it away to exhale and then I go about business. Ive found it helps me not over vape if I do it that way.

can you transmit morse code with that thing over smoke signals?

I probably could... but ive found that I need morse code or a flare or something to get out of the vape cloud that this thing surrounds me with!! :)
