Questions about modding

[Lonars]

A couple weeks into vaping and I'm really enjoying it. Right now I have two evods and 2 mini pro tank and a couple ego batteries. (for me and my girlfriend)

I need something that lasts longer than the 800?mah ego c twist I have for use at home while chain vaping. I want a diy box mod with vv. I've found a lot of good tutorials and I'm quite mechanically and electrically inclined and I work in a custom fabrication shop and I'm wondering if there are any tutorials with step by step of a vv mod with a battery that will last for about 6 hours of vaping without dieing with one of the current tanks.

Can someone point me In the right direction?

I'm sure there are several here but this one by mamu looks very good. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...0-arlo-dual-18650-dna20-30-step-step-how.html there is a link to a .pdf in the thread with most of the steps.

Ok imo. You can do this with your skills...
get an sx-350 chip and a sony vtc5 battery a case switch and a 510 connector around $100.
You cant do any better than this chip.
you can find it on ebay or varitube
you can vape for days with your tanks and when your ready to get into rba's you will have the power to do it. It is an investment but it is an investment in you. Anything is worth it if it keeps you off the stinkies!

I was thinking about something much simpler. Since I'm going to be building some custom stuff in the shop I just want a basic box with a 510 connector and be able to adjust the batteries up to 5v.no lights just a button. I think I found it though!

Look at my thread sx-350 build complete it started in a radioshack small box. One switch thats the fire button.

There are some videos on YouTube on DIY VV mods. One that I watched was by steeljan where she makes one in an Elmo toy.

I think using a Vamo PCB is easier and you get VV and VW. Fasttech sells Vamo PCBs for under $12. They are fairly easy to wire as seen in this photo. http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/korttwulfe/Vamo Tin Mod/vamowiring_zpsefe5268e.jpg

Heres a box i made from an ego-c-twist http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=599329
If your looking for straight 5v you could use a usb charger board they are small and cheap (and normally easy to salvage outta other stuff) attach batteries to board attach 510 to usb.

What I would like to do is take the Vamo V5 and wire two 18650s to it. I want to smoke around 10w (Using a mini pt2. 1.6 ohm coil. Although I had some significant issues recently) So just wire the batteries into this pcb? I think Ill buy a separate charger for everything too. I'm going to keep looking around but for what I'm wanting to do this seems fine. What I want to do is be able to get home and throw my 1.6ohm mini pt2 on this and vape away all day, and when it's dead pop the batteries out and throw them on the charger when i go to bed and take them off when I get up so they're ready when I get home. I want vv/vw for later use though, when I start getting new toppers.

Thanks everyone! Very helpful.

With 2 18650's you could probably vape for days. Wired in parallel I assume...

If your vaping is only going to be in the 10W - even up to 15W range - there is no point in putting yourself through the technical headaches (and size factor) of wiring two 18650's. I would suggest the VAMO board as well for an easy first time build.
