really hope a modder sees this

Im working on a mod by mamu (tiny) and i was just wondering if any one knows where to get a 200 ohm trimmer pot with a knob like hers. It does not have to be the same exact type, but just 200 ohm with something more than a flat adjuster.


I do realize this is the newbee forum but until I get my posts up I cannot post there....


Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide

If you need it in a hurry, Radio Shack has some but your going to get what they have.
If you have time and don't mind waiting for mail order you need to check out onlinecomponents.com, a quick search turned up 217 items that matched 200 ohm trim pot.

Ive checked on onlinecomponents a few days ago but i cannot find one with an actual knob, they have plenty of thumb wheel ones but not exactly what im looking for.

Unless there is a way to just pull off the wheel and put on a knob???

Thanks for the quick reply

Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone!

I have been reading ecf since way before I started vaping but never thought about posting. It's kind of been my ecig wikipedia lol, but I'm starting to like being able to share my ideas and get other peoples input. From what I can see it's like one big family here lol

Maybe it's just me but you could glue the dial to the wheel.

Music store amplifier knob and faceplate. The amp pots might be just what you are looking for. Maybe even auto parts store dashboard dimmer pots. I don't know how much room you have to werk with or what model. Ther is a pot for aftermarket dash lights at pep boys it's a 12 v 10a for led lights.it might even be smaller than what you have. I used it in my Willis jeep for loading lights in the bed.
