Ready-made case for flip-out style mod :)

[kinabaloo]

Following TinEar's SideWinder, and very similar to the forthcoming Janty Cameo, this would make the ideal starting point:

​

Small and very cheap. Has the opening mechanism ready to go

And a sleek-looking manual button.

Perhaps just clip of that key-ring bit

At the moment, the main body holds a gas-lighter, and the side arm an LED torch, I would guess powered by button cells.

Might be able to fit (hot glue?) a switch in such a way that it would be operated by the lighter lever. Perhaps as the main on / off. Or arrange a switch such that opening the arm switches the power on ready.

Only $2.90 from: http://www.bestofferbuy.com/2in1-lighter-with-flashlight-p-14104.html

An you can open a beer with it - how cool is that !

The Cameo cannot do that:

Wow, you are on an innovation roll lately! That looks like a really interesting project.
Thanks for contributing all of your great ideas.

I must admit, I borrowed this one from the Janty forum ... (This site was down briefly, went to ecigtest, saw a picture of the Cameo had just been posted there, then this site was back up, searched for Cameo and found the link to the lighter/flashlight)

So looks like Janty got in touch with the OEM and asked for a batch with some modifications (perhaps just to the case and do the electrics themselves).

Might be nice to add a mini USB socket for charging and perhaps fit in a usb memory chip too, or mp3 player

Nice find Kinabaloo, you have the "Eye" I cant look at anything the same anymore. I look at anything with a battery and say ,hm....its doable.

Can anyone say "Maserati"...just food for thought...

Anyone moded this thing yet?

 

[jimmieu]

That thing is begging to be modded. Only 3 bucks! That site has great prices. Thanks 4 the info.

Janty have.

It will be called the Cameo and out soon (?)

Waiting to see what a forum modder can do - will be interesting.

Hopefully one can get a 1080? lithium in there.

jimmieu - quite agree; i must get around to ordering one myself

[kinabaloo]

Yes, and if Janty can make a go of it, so can we

 

[ccure]

Yes, and if Janty can make a go of it, so can we

I think so

PD: i am waiting for you!! LOL

 

[kinabaloo]

I think so

PD: i am waiting for you!! LOL

I certainly wouldn'y pay $100 for something that cost $1 to make !

 

[Vapster]

i got 2 on the way, i was thinking of 2 901 batts, if they fit.....then the charging solution would need to be addressed.

 

[Vapster]

Boo..... they are out of stock!!!!!
Maybe Janty bought the stock?????

I gonna try the replacement item

 

[kinabaloo]

You could be right!

Hope you can make something cool with it
