Small Diameter Battery Mod Request

[5cardstud]

Ikenvape has a laser mod for $35.00

I really question that claim that it is smaller in diameter than the precise.. expecially if the measurement we're seeing here is 12.9mm diameter....and the precise is 12mm diameter...last I checked 12mm is smaller than 12.9mm...

According to the Ikenvape website the LpV3 Laser is 11mm dia.

I was talking about the precious claims here that it's the smallest...

I actually have a black lazer mod from ikenvape that I'm getting rid of..

^ maybe inside diameter. Do you think the walls of it are < .5 mm? Maybe...

Some 10440 mod measurents i have:

Precious 10440: 12.9 mm
Traditional Laser Mod: 13 mm
GG Slim: 12.4mm
Super T Precise 10440: 12.2mm at the ends/11.9mm at the middle

I haven't measured the new Iken laser mod, but to accomodate a 10440 battery (protected ones are 10.5 mm approximate diameter) + to have adequate wall thickness for threads, you need wall thickness in the .030 range which gives you a minimum diameter in the 11.9 range.

Does the LpV3 even take a protected battery? Just curious 'cause they recommend the AW 10440 for it.

I have all the Ikenvape lazers and the LPV2 and LPV3 measure 11.65 mm with my caliper. The AW 10440 battery is by far the best choice for this size battery. I've tried them all and the AWs give the best and longest performance. Just my

Yeah, if one uses an unprotected you can get a bit thinner.

Yes u might be right on diameter 12.9mm With .5 of that being a nickel coating! But length?

 

[CHUCKLEHEAD]

Also why is the small presious too big? It's is 12.9mm which is only 2.9mm bigger then the battery you are looking for. Heck, the lazer is going to be almost 2mm bigger then the battery, what is one more millimeter?

Exactly what i was thinking And i have a laser mod !That's like comparing apples to oranges

I said from the outset that I didn't expect the requested mod to out perform other mods. I just wanted it to look better than current mods and out-perform the commercial Chinese stuff. It looks like the best the 10440 bat can do is 600mah but at least it's replaceable. This is much better than the Janty eGo....for $30? Can't beat that...if it works.

Bassnut, have you looked at the Spade?

It's a part of the VP series but it's black.

I recently bought one thru the classifieds and, so far, I'm quite happy with it.

yeah it gets to be a toss up...that's why the term smallest is debateable...are we talking diameter or are we talking length...
we're also talking about all mechanical versus wired too...

not that I have a dog in this hunt...since the 10440 battery just isn't my thing...

just that the "smallest" designation is somewhat misleading...there are so many other factors depending on what the person is looking for...

For me personally the precious is a non-contender...when you balance size versus all mechanical, where it's made (so where it'd have to go for repair), style of switch, materials, cost of unit, etc.

Another Bingo!
Thanks Scubabatdan.
Maybe I can to this mod myself.

Good luck drilling the RCA out without a Lath or a Drill Press. I went and looked a Dan's walk through and it is easy to do when you have those kinds of tools at your disposal, luckily I do too but I wouldn't suggest someone try to drill that with a rechargeable hand drill IMO.

Here is the PDF file for the "Cisco Lazer Mod" by Cisco, you could probably make this one yourself: View attachment 8195
