Here's a pretty helpful guide to building a 5v mod. Obviously this isn't going to be exactly what you will do, but it gives you some insight.

Dose thealtoids tin conduct electricity

Yes, the tin is highly conductive. Do you have a multimeter? You can always check things like that with a multimeter. I think the best way is to use a small piece of wood cut to size, to install your battery terminals to. You can just screw them in to the wood with a tiny screw, or glue them. Also what I have done is fill the space with hot glue (also non conductive) and trim it to size with a sharp knife once it has cooled.
There are many ways to do it but one constant is you really should check your work with a multimeter for shorts. Never just shove batteries in a mod you made without checking for shorts. Of course you probably already know that

Thank you so much for getting back to me and no at this time I do not have a multimeter I was getting over out of my truck and it's fall out and later when I want to leave I ran it over on accident

Electrician's tape I put around the edges of my tin mods and bottom, anywhere a wire or connector touches, then hide it a material
Do I need a ground or can I make the tin the ground

I just use 18-20 gauge wire for grounding... I suppose you could use the tin as a ground though.

Do you have much knowledge of electronics? I ask because of some of your questions. Please don't be offended. I'd highly recommend doing some research and learning about other mod-builders' work before trying to dive in without much idea and crating something that can be very hazardous to yourself and/or others. These batteries have highly concentrated, stored energy. Imagine a rubber band that's stretched-out. When it's released there's a violent release of energy. If you short a li-on battery, there's a violent release of energy, except there's fire instead of a snap.
That's why I'm asking the questions now is so I know you guys got any tips for drilling through the tins I messed 2 tins up trying to drill it

if you can put a block of wood or something inside of it to stablize it as you dril through that will help. I'm guessin the drill bit caught and torqued the metal right?
Other trick is fast drill, slow even pressure.

For drilling through the tin, use an awl or nail to get a starter hole and use an 11/32" or smaller drill bit to drill the hole for the connector. What I usually do is start smaller than the connector and then enlarge the hole with a cone-shaped stone grinder bit so that the connector is as snug as possible. I highly recommend the pilot-tipped dewalt drill bit set from home depot which do a decent job of preventing the bit from walking, but a little pilot hole is still a good idea. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...1&keyword=titanium&storeId=10051#.UHox3d1lQbM
Step bits also work nicely but are usually $30+. Well worth it if you often need to drill holes into metal, dont leave for work without it http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...0053&langId=-1&keyword=step+bit&storeId=10051
Other than fast drill and slow even pressure, try and drill as straight as possible. "Let the drill do the work" is what I was told when I was a young electrician's helper. A good quality bit that's used for its intended purpose will save frustration/money.

Ty for all the help man
the end is here. the end of smoking that is lol vape on
I use a dremel rotary tool for all my mods, the kits you buy usually come with various tips, sanding discs, and cutting tools.....an invaluable tool for myself and my mods
Harbor Freight has step drills for as low as 7.99 for a set of 3. They also have stepless step drills and a decent T-reamer (3.49) which might be the easiest way to get a clean hole in the tin.
