Possible to turn a manual EGO into an auto by combining the guts from two batts?

[Unhooked]

I need an auto "mini" ego like below. I've looked thoroughly and I do not believe anyone manufactures them. How hard would it be to take a larger auto ego, and combine the auto feature with the manual mini case and battery? Assuming I was careful but not a modding guru. Thanks! PS I need it for an e-pipe I'm hacking together.

does it need to be an ego thread? this is another option for something small, with decent battery life and it's an auto:

Yeah those would work but they are too expensive at $20. I need one for $6 which is what it would cost to buy a new mini manual and use an old ego auto to convert it - if I could! Anyone seen just those batteries for less than $10?

Smoktek the vendor, not Smoktech the manufacturer sells 650 mah automatic egos. I don't see any as small as want though. As for modding a preexisting one, not something I would do. Ben Heck could probably do it, I would end up with a smoking flaming mess though.

Thanks for the thought, I bought a cheap 650 but it was just too long. I'd like to try to buy one of the mini egos and make it into an auto if it can be done though.

I just picked a couple eGo/510 auto mini batteries (350mah) from ikenvape.com:

Only comes in one color -- green. However it's generally pretty easy to scrape the paint off, and I prefer a stainless finish anyway.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the price -- $10.99. Slightly more expense than you were looking for, but it's the only one I've been able to find.

This sounds interesting ...

I've found a few 420 mAh automatic batteries, but they're still a bit longer than I want for a stealth PV that can pass as a pocket pen ...

I'm about to dissect the first one I bought, its getting weak, doesn't hold a charge. If I can salvage the automatic circuit and transfer it into a 350 mAh battery case, I've got my wish ...

Taking it along with me to visit a friend this weekend, he's really good at micro-circuitry and at cobbling things together. If we can figure out exactly how the automatic feature works, and surgically transplant it into the smaller case, I'll try to get pictures ...
