thank you ECF modders

[funkybozu]

for all the mods posted
first time round i didnt know wth i was doing so total fail

like an idiot i just tried to hooky it up

well it doesnt work so scrap on flash light

 

[funkybozu]

second go i try the maddog like mod(just the push swicth, but with 3AAAs

i tried to make it discrete but total fail sinse the thing looks like a light saber
but it produces a good amount of vapor thanks to the push switch type.

but its too big to carry around so here we go again, this time with a ultra mini CR123a batt flash
i saw this mod on a jp ecig forum.

did it with a blue LED this time, had to grind it to fit though

was a bit hard to get everything together, the epoxy i used didnt dry very quickly, so it kept falling apart on me.

finally got everything glued and wired up

woohooo!!! done!!!! the epoxy is very hard and keeps everything well in place

its Alive!!!!

pretty little bugger too

so here are my buggers

Hi Funky.... great pics .....there sure is something very satisfying in making a mod of your own and vaping away on it.

 

[funkybozu]

thanks mate
your right , when i finally got it right. i was jumping up and down

Lol now you will be looking at every gadget you see thinking about turning it into an e-cig!

 

[funkybozu]

yes i do that too
i have got to stop looking at deal extreme
very bad place for people like me

Interesting story to follow.

You achieved a really neat finish with the epoxy of the top surface. And the translucency is just right. With two LEDs would be even better (one each side - more even light spread).

 

[Wildsky]

Oh thats really nice looking, I love the light in the epoxy like that!

 

[nicowolf]

Looks great. I also like the way the led looks through the epoxy.

 

[TnA]

Very nice! Dunno why....but I'm a huge fan of led's! Definitely like the way you incorporated the led light!

I've got to stop all this modding craziness (or find some way to tame it)...I've bought 7 different flashlights in the past week and placed so many orders that I can't even remember what orders I'm waiting to take delivery of, anymore! 8-o

Hi funkybozu,

I am very happy to find you here.

 

[funkybozu]

thanks guys. yeah the led threw the epoxys really sets it apart. i have to figure out a way to make it more visible in sunlight though.
how would 2 LEDS in parallel effect the the current going to the atty?


hey Kamikaze. that AV, are you Momoko or Miumiu?? lol

LED forward voltage drop varies but typically is 1.5v or more.

So current could be no more than 2v across the 100ohm resistor= ~20mA
(0.02A) About 1/50 the atty current. So having a second LED will not affect the atty performance.

the blue leds i bought are 3v ,the guy selling them said i should use a 51ohm resistor.
there isnt much space in there really. how should i hook the leds up? can i tie the +s together with the resistor and lead that to the + circuit board and tie the - and hook it up to the frame?

The higher Vf means a lower ohm res is ok. 100 will be ok too. With those LEDs just connect the +s and -s together and use a single 100/51 res, or a 51/100 ohm res with each and put the pair in parallel. If too bright, put two 51s in series.

 

[funkybozu]

i have to put a res. on each of the +s legs? cant i just put one at the beginning of the parallel circuit? i was hoping i could to save space
