really sick of failing batteries etc..

[struckus]

Well, if it does give up the ghost and you don't mind a long drive, definitely give me a shout. I've got plenty to keep you going.

thanks man I defintely appreciate the offer..

pulled the ego controller mod apart and it's burnt up for sure..the smell of a burn resistor is prevalent..on the plus side it looks really easy to make it a mech. mod after pulling it apart..i'm taking pics to help others who have the same ordeal..going to the source tomorrow to pick up a switch..should be able to do it..I ran it solely in variable voltage mode anyway so the mech. switch will be the same just not as pretty which I don't care about lol..

I don't have one, but the bolt is a cheap and reliable mechanical mod. surevapes has it for $29 with free shipping to Canada; The Bolt - Gun Metal, it uses an 18500 though, so you'd need a $7 extender for an 18650 or to "kick" it; Bolt Extender - Gun Metal



Haha, I saw that mod in a stealth thread and it still amuses me; http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/apv-discussion/256781-stealth-mod-pics-anyone-2.html#post4996644

lol yep that's basically what i'll do before reverting back to cigars..I have no want to smoke a cigar again..it'll work for a bit

and I heard lots of horror stories from the bolt with it failing because of bad wiring..I think the smoktech telescopic thing will be a buy in the near future just as a fail safe..

 

[struckus]

on the plus side..my 1100mah passthrough is working perfectly lol..knock on wood! I hate being on one battery!!

 

[Tonytiger1]

I may have to revert to cigars this weekend as all my batteries are failing..I had a spinner that's in transit to me after failing..today my ego-T 18650 mod controller failed on me..I have one battery left (first one I bought)..knowing my luck it's next to go and won't last the weekend..no wonder the casuals revert back to cigarettes..at least those are consistent lol

I did this little mod. Been working for 2 months. No problems.
Dont go back to the stinky.

haha awesome Tony..that's exactly what I want to do..you got a tutorial up? i'm gonna PM you for advice..

If it's just the button then yeah, that shouldn't be hard to fix. Just get a simple button with a 2.5A or better limit and you'll be golden.

yeah just need to know if the ground will pass through the circuit board and a few other things..it will be trial and error when I wire the switch..hoping tony will guide me on PM and it'll be working tomorrow night lol..i've modded many a flashlight so i'm pretty sure I can get it working but getting the help from someone that has done it will make things 300% easier..

Switch will fit scrap the hole out a little with a knife. Solder the positive wire to the switch solder a piece of 12 gauge wire to other side surfed the fill will glue gun

I don't really get it Tony..where does the battery make contact?

are you keeping the old circuit board? from the pic there is no complete circuit..

Battery contacts that 12 gauge wire you see. No all electronics are gutted.

Just took this.

oh ok..so the negative path works through the body still? just remove the negative from the 510 connection and it'll make a path through the body?

That's correct

friggen easier than I thought..many many thanks buddy!

Super easy. Just look at the distance the current contact is from the bottom. Make sure it's in about the same place. B

for sure..i'll get it buttoned up tomorrow when I grabbed the switch..will be much more reliable than the stock controller for sure..again thank you..

 

[siampumpkin]

The contacts on the battery connector get correded easy. Be sure to clean them each time before you charge and also dab a little Noalox in them to aid the connection.

I run 16 watts through it. . 2.5 amp switch. But never had a problem

Oh last thing you do need to bend the switch contacts. You will see when you fit the switch.
