Hello all. Let me start of by saying that i am in the National Guard and i will be deploying some time later this year, and I decided that none of the mods can meet my needs, so I've decided to build my own mod.It is going to be bigger than anything I've seen, but will be tactically sane. The case I have chosen is the same case I carried my analog pack in during a previous mobilization, the otterbox 1000 case http://www.otterbox.com/OtterBox-10...-01_color=01&start=3&cgid=otterbox-1000-cases . I've been researching my project for over a month now and I have came up with two different solutions, and one possible idea. Let me also say that I am not an electrical engineer and cannot dicipher your guys magic lingo, so please don't berate me with your circuitry mathematic skills. Simple feed back please.
My first idea, and also the one I have put the most thought into is this:
I this is just a copy of http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...6-very-easy-vv-mod-w-switching-regulator.html . my switch is waterproof, durable, and can handle the juice needed http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...75900&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_2372wt_1242 . Amazon doesnt have the specs on it, and I lost the site I had found the info. The dual 18650 battery holder is from digikey.com. I like this mod for price and how easy to assemble it while actually be and it would be a VV mod.
mod solution #2 is same case and switch, but buying a tekkeon from amazon or ebay, hacking it up and fitting the guts into my case. I would turn the usb port upwards so when you open you see the ports. The layout of the atomizer would be high center but with the switch in the far top right corner of the diagram. custom battery boxs too, so I could swap out batteries, and have enough juice in one box to need power for a full week but I am not sure if I would have enough room. This mod is easy and I can follow any of the various tutorials out there, just the end result would be a different case. Another plus is that I have two o these otterboxs and I could mod a portable solar panel into the second one. If I did this, looking back, I would not need the battery holder. Only issue I have is that I have not seen a variable volt mod how to, so it would be a fixed 5v. I see alot of functionality of this one tho, so I am leaning towards this one even still.
My third idea is still just that. It would be a single 18650 battery using a VV boost circuit with usb built in to charge it up with, but all I can find is those crazy diagrams with hocus pocus squiggly lines called a diagram. I am great with my hands and can make mods, but for me my learning process has always been a monkey see, monkey do kind of way. This leaves this idea pretty much dead in the water, but i can dream.
in all of these mods while I was writing this up, Ive decided to mount my atty connector to a a raised swivel type mount so that I can use Nhaler's ato-miser inside the case. To vape it I can take a government issue pen apart and stick thru the pre-drilled hole. this will put the hole closer to even possibly over both halves, making it harder to water proof, but it will be worth it as it would be easy and cheap to buy enough wire to take with me that will last the whole year. I already have plans to use a rubber plunger to plug the hole while not it use.
Any comments , ideas, or help will be greatly appreciated.
