You know I have been unsuccessful in trying to acquire a batt connector from members here. And I am scared to death to order online. All my stuff came from other HELPFUL members. LOL. Anyway a trip to Sim Lim got me some ideas and this is what I came up with. It works I can vape from a 14500 900mah batt. Just need to tidy up the circuit though. I used a 3 batt box, a switch and some other ingredients. I hope I can post some pics.

Well done, bro.

if u use 901 thread carto, u can use 2.1mm power socket as batt connecter...but need to fine tune abit

U just need to get 2x AA box for a single 14500. Unless u r going for higher voltage which u'll need a voltage regulatorand spme funky stuff. See me mod here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/sg-vapers/241002-510-3-7v-box-mod-new-post.html. No fancy stuff just a little drilling and soldering will do. U don't even need extra wire just use those that came with the box is enuff.
 
Thanks Karl,
Actually making the box mod is relatively easy if you had the connector for a 510 type atomiser. However the challenge I overcame is the build of the connector itself. I had to find a way to build the connector from scratch with nothing more that some nuts, 2mm round head screw some spruce, epoxy and a spring. If you look at the original post you would know what I mean. It is so difficult to get a 510 connector short of ordering one on line. Actually there are some bros who offered to order some for me but it would take a while. So while waiting I decided to build one myself.

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to this forum and very interested in getting a PV.

I smoked for 20 years about a pack a day and quit cold turkey on Feb 27 this year because of my newborn daughter. However, the temptation of going back to analog cigs are still strong even after having quit for 8 months. I therefore wanted to see if vaping can help me resist smoking again.

I did try to get some Safe Cigs from the US but it got stopped at HSA - to say I was disappointed is a huge understatement as I was waiting almost a month for them.

I was about to give up but was searching online for more info (wanted to buy from Australia and have someone bring them back for me) but I stumbled on this forum.

I am starting to get excited about the possibility of vaping again as I had no idea there is a community of vapers here in Singapore!

I am really interested in getting a kit and spent the whole day (literally) reading the threads and the whole 51 pages of this newbies Q&A thread so I wouldn't ask stupid questions and piss anyone off...haha.

From what I gather, I had 'my eyes open' and visited the few links in the signatures as suggested by the veterans on this forum (r3kka, Trinitrophenol, sotong, Yunn85...etc).

So is it as simple as ordering directly from those links? There will be no problem getting a kit and juices? What's the diff between the 2 main sites (SGxxxxxx.com and vapersxxx.net) or ordering from either is ok? Or is there another 'process' that I have to go through? Everyone seems to be pointing to SGxxxxxx.com.

How about eu.Jantyxxxxx.com?

Sorry for so many questions (and the long posts) but even after reading the whole day, I can't seem to find the above answers - everyone who asked about getting a kit always seemed to get a PM from someone!

I don't think I have enough posts to PM anyone so if any of the seniors/veterans can help, I will really appreciate it.

Looking forward to it and later guys! :)

Cheers,
TS

anyway i smoke 1 pack a day ... so how many mg should i get and how many ml juice should i get? sorry for so much questions?

MG you can try go with 18mg 1st, then tone down slowly. Anything to get you off analogs 1st. In my case, I toned down really fast. :laugh:

lifespan of the battery u mean? that would roughly be ard 300 charges. for cartos, would be about 2-3weeks. mine is lasting for a month now but cuz i do regular maintenance. but for the super tanker, as long as u dun break the tube, they last almost forever. but if u do, just turn it into a syringe mod lo. lol. shipping products from there basically.... u dun choose the shipping method lor. and ya carto is still considered illegal. ;)
