Suggestions for 5v batteries and cases

I plan to try making a 5v mod out of an Altoids tin, and a 3.7v mod out of a small Altoids gum tin. It'll be a matched set!

Ah, but will it be "curiously strong" vaping?

Nah, that's my Chuck at 6v.

This is my newest unit, running a 510 atomizer with a Texas Instruments 5v regulator. It won't get hot enough to damage the box, but the batteries do get slightly warm with frequent use from being in the enclosed space w/ the regulator so I try not to chong on it nonstop. The regulators are so nice and small, you can fit them in almost anywhere.

Major big thanks to Shreck for the links and advice with the regulator on this one.

Youfill, where did you get that momentary switch? I've been trying to find a small low profile switch that can handle the current, but is also small enough to fit into an AAA battery box. The one in that pic looks like what I've been trying to find.

Boon you also had a pretty small switch in your box. Where did you find that?

I got the switch at RadioShack, but it's only rated at 0.5 amps, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Shame, it would have been perfect.

It'll work fine if you use it to trigger a MOSFET.

Ok, now all I need is a schematic for that mosfet circuit.

That's one schematic. You'd put your momentary switch in place of the two circles above the 47k resistor.
