I think these kinds of mods are great, don't get me wrong. Especially as a starting point. But I'd like to see it get more sophisticated than this. Wouldn't you like to be able to vape on something equivalent to the best we have available to us now, but have control over the means of production, so it can't be taken away from you? I sure would. I don't think I'm the only one. Plus the opportunity for expression and innovation is huge. So if you want to vape on 5 watts with an altoids tin, that's awesome! But there could be other options too.
I found this really old post with picsAltoid box mod - thanks j0ker for the idea!
Oh I do remember all the buzz about the Buzz!jOker inspired many people back then it seems. He was the one that inspired my decision on my very first mod. It was a Buzz from Notcigs. He had been driving down the road at a high rate of speed on his bike when he dropped his Buzz. Turned around, went back and found it, wiped the dirt off and kept on vaping. Without missing a beat. I had been agonizing over which mod to buy (they were expensive back then) As soon as I heard that story, I pulled the trigger. I knew that was the mod for me.
ETA- That may have been Elendil that dropped the Buzz. second guessing myself now. My memory has turned to mush.
People would make a mod out of anything those days.
And for newer users like me, finding anything but endless conversations and circular references to un-specified previous posts makes the experience pretty hellish. It's not easy to learn something in a complete and satisfying way here. Just saying.
And I mean that with the deepest respect and all the admiration in the world for this site and its mods, admins and users.
You could just start a thread and see where it goes, or do some searching on this site and provide links to some of the things people were making way back. I even ran across the first syringe tank made, such inventiveness! We all made themThis is not a crusade for me or anything. And if y'all aren't interested that's cool. I mentioned it here because so many of you are serial innovators and I thought from the survival of vaping standpoint it might appeal. Somebody is going to do it, for sure; probably on a paid site, if not here. I'd hate to see that happen. But I don't have the juice (hehe see what I did there?) in this community to start or generate interest in such an endeavor. But I certainly wouid love to support it and learn, contribute and participate. I believe it's good timing for such an idea. And the FDA can't punish us for spreading ideas, information and instructions - not yet anyway.
Me too, can you believe I have never been to a vape B&M in my life! LOL ECF was my support and inspiration when I quit way back when.And all respect to to you also Morph, but I have to completely disagree with you there. I came here knowing NOTHING three years ago and solely because of ECF users and their generosity in sharing knowledge I have become totally self-sufficient. I didn't learn that anywhere else, matter of fact have only set foot in a B&M twice, and that was three years ago. I owe my quitting a 45 year habit to ECF folks.
Here's another oldie about making a VV Mod- Easy OKR-T VV mod
I loved the old days of vaping everyone was so creative! And the industry evolved as more and more modders did their thing. It was an exciting time![]()

Me too!
I learned more here in 15 min. then I did when I was in a b&m for 45 min.Me three. I enjoy the conversations but, I learned almost everything that I know right here at ECF. Still learn new stuff all of the time. You can find anything that you seek with a search IMHO
Yes I remember the stealing ideas wars but many did go into business making mods and it was the start of a great industry we know and love today.It really was! We didn't think of it that way back then but, it was way funner! (vapers are allowed to make up words)
I think that Evercool mod was the one that another (maybe supplier) was accused of stealing the plans, building and selling? There was a lot of that going on too. This was all before we were able to buy cheap mods from China. Our only choices as far as buying anything VV was from USA and prices were pretty steep on most.
We already have those other options right now but reality check...I think these kinds of mods are great, don't get me wrong. Especially as a starting point.

Oh totally! That's ALWAYS true (for me at least)! I get mostly misinformation from my B&Ms, sadly.I learned more here in 15 min. then I did when I was in a b&m for 45 min.
