Alright, so I got an evic back when they were fairly new. Like most evics seem to do, it promptly fell apart. The wires connecting the head to the atomizer connection snapped off, and rather than fix it, I threw it in my vape box and forgot about it for a while.
I recently got a wild hair and decided I wanted to try to throw the evic board and screen into a box mod. So I dremeled apart the housing and slid the evic board assembly out... and that's when I noticed the biggest hurdle this mod is going to have to overcome.
The lone button on the evic is a tiny PCB-mounted thing on the opposite side from the screen... not where I want the fire button to be at all. And the neat little navigation wheel actually just flicks a tiny plastic nubbin that sticks out of the side of the board in one direction or the other, which isn't feasible to control in a box mod.
Has anyone else here disassembled an evic and successfully connected real buttons to the board? If so, which solder points should I use? I don't necessarily need to remove the existing controls, since it'll all be enclosed and protected inside a box... I just want to circumvent them with something more practical.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you folks can offer!
