I got the go ahead from Jules on this, so here it is.......

After reading about people who don't have a backup PV for when their's breaks or dies and need something while it's repaired, I've decided to offer to build 3.7v boxmods for those who don't have something as a backup.

Let me say this first: Please don't ask if you just want a boxmod. My time, like everyone else's, is limited and I'd like to donate it for those people who truly need a backup. So again, please only ask if you really need something as a backup.

Now, here's how I envision it working. You'll need to buy the parts and mail them to me either along with a SASE padded envelope or box with enough shipping to return it to you, or paypal me $2 to cover the cost of an envelope and shipping it to you. I'm going to recommend you buy the parts needed at MadVapes.com, but you are free to buy them anywhere you like. It just might be easier to get them all at one place.

Here's the parts you will need/price each w/links:
510 Battery Connector, Sealed 2.69
Horn style switch -- Black 1.79
Black 2xAA Battery Box with On/Off Switch 1.99
3mm Red LED 0.59

$7.06 total. Use Coupon code "strell" for 5% off entire order.

These are the parts needed for a 510 box, obviously if you need a 901 or something different, that can be done also. Please let me know if you need something different so I can point you to the correct part if needed. The LED is optional (but recommended) and can be any color you like. The button can also be changed, but again please contact me first to let me know..some buttons work better than others.

Then, if you don't have them already, you will need at least one 14500 Li-Ion battery and a charger. I recommend having two, so one can charge while you vape with the other. Please, buy the protected 14500 batteries. They are much safer. It's up to you of course, but really...please buy the protected ones. You *must* have these batteries, regular AA's you buy at the store won't work, and the rechargeable batteries at Radio Shack will not work either.

Battery:Protected 14500 Battery, 900 mAH 4.79
Charger: TrustFire TR-001 Lithium Ion Battery Charger 9.99

19.57 total for two batteries + charger.

Please ask any questions here in the thread. PM me if you need one built so you can get my address and paypal info if needed.

Also, I'd gladly accept any donations of parts, dead batteries, boxes, etc. Always nice to have some spares on hand and if I get enough I can build some extra boxes to have on hand or put in the treasure chest thread.

Bahnzo my hat's off to you man! Things like this are what PIF's all about. Let me know if you need some stuff to get started on a few, it'll be my little part in a huge PIF. boB

PM me if you have stuff to donate. It would really be perfect if I had enough parts to build em and just send them out and let people get batteries and chargers if they need them.

Bahnzo, that is a very generous offer. Bianca and boB have got me covered with some batties to use while my GLV is in the shop. I'm obviously gonna send em back when I get my GLV back:D. ( hopefully not too long:( )
I was looking to see what box mods were available but they would all require more batties and another charger.
Can you do a box mod that would use my cr123 batties and be resisted to 3.7v?

Not sure of any easy way to do that. Would either have to do a variable mod or find a chip that regulates 3.7v. A variable mod is my next project here eventually, but for now I'd have to say I don't have a way to do this right now.

Thats putting your modding adiction to good use!

Exactly. I've built 5 so far (given away 3) and it's a nice little distraction in the evenings.

newbie question cause I'm a dumb ...., what is an SASE? :blink: I know I'm dumb.. I promise it's not contagious! LOL. I'm waiting for a little bit after the first and then I think I will order one from you. Also when I go to order from madvapes I just have the things sent straight to your addy right?

I didn't think of that. I'm sure you could have MadVapes send them to me, but it would probably have to be more shipping for me to ship them to you if you are ordering a charger and batteries. Overall it would probably be cheaper however....I'd have to drop it off at the post office to see how much extra, but it could be done.
