Interesting. I'd be curious as to the method. Looks good, nice improvisation McGyver
It was pretty simple, really.
Bought a cheapo $1 flashlight from a local dollar store. Gutted it and kept the bottom cap with the master switch.
Drilled a hole in the body large enough to fit the button I bought from the Radio Shack.
Soldered all my wires to the button, threaded them thru the hole I drilled and mashed the button in place.
Rolled out some epoxy (like Mighty Putty) and used the "Cookie Cutter Method" to make a top cap and battery plug (where the (+) touches inside). Drilled holes thru both when cured totally.
Pushed the 510 battery connector thru the hole in the top cap
Soldered the (+) and (-) to the 510 battery connector
Folded the (-) wire to the side of the top cap and press fit the cap in place. (Its tight and not coming out unless forced and holds my ground wire to the body of the mod)
Ran (+) wire thru battery plug and soldered a small connector plate to it (thats where the (+) post from the battery connects).
Pushed the battery plug in and all the way up the battery case til it was where I needed it. (again......its very snug and isn't going anywhere)
Slapped in a non-conductive battery sleeve and loaded a 16340 battery in it.
Done.
Vapes like a BEAST!!! I mean blows CLOUDS!!!!
