First I'd like to thank all the other modders for the incredible amount of information that is shared here. While I've rarely posted here I've read damn near all great info provided by the other modders. I started modding 4-5 days ago with no experience or skills and my other mods met with poor results:
mod A - Manual PT for 801 in a juice box, worked great but random short due to overzealous solder on centre post of phone jack connector.
mod B - Manual PT for 401 with reduced voltage and an LED, worked and looked great but the epoxy I used had one of the liquids jammed so I ended up with a horrible stink that would never go away. Sadly I had to ditch it.
Mod C - Another Manual PT for a recessed 801 with LED using parts from Mod A. Everything was nice and clean in this one but when I use the epoxy and left the room, I came back to find it had flowed around the connector, so I actually managed to kill 2 mods with 1 blow!
I was getting a bit frustrated so I asked my wife if she could help me find something to mod. She found me a nose hair clipper that was very light and felt very good in the hand. These are available for 7 bucks so well within range for a mod.
Here is the result:
And this is what it looks like with an 801 atomizer attached:
The unit feels awesome to hold. It is powered by CR2x2 and with the 801 atomizer kicks out wild vapour. The throat hit from a 2-3 second pull is solid and satisfying.
If there is interest, I will take a few inside pics (but you would have to ignore my lack of solder skills) and do a write up in the steps to make the mod. It's actually quite easy since the sides separate so you have open space to work in. It's also plastic so with a dremel it was pretty damn easy to core out the frame to accept the wider bats.
Thanks again to all the other modders, you ended up giving me the best vaper I've ever used
