NicoStick w/ Ni-MH or alkaline batteries?

[ibi5205]

Could I make a NicoStick with Ni-MH batteries or alkalines? For example, get a 4xAA battery holder and mod as with the standard NicoStick, but then have 3 AA batts for power?

3 Ni-MH AAs would give 3.6v (1.2 x 3) and 3 alkalines would give 4.5v (1.5 x 3) for a bit of a "hotter" vape.

Would this work in theory?

It works, and pretty good I might say.

Edit: 3 x NiMH have ~4.32V (1,44V times 3) when fully charged

My very first mod uses an LED flashlight with a three AAA battery holder. I simply built the atty adapter, switch, and LED into the head end and it works about like a regular e-cig battery as far as the vape goes. The original switch serves to shut if off. I used a 901 atty. I've used it a bit (a couple of hours) and the batterys are still good enough to vape. I was thinking that some lithium AAAs might work even better than the alkalines, but they're costly.

My daily vape is a BE112 passthrough.
