Nice work Warp! How is the air flow through the connector? Does air still pass through the hole in the positive lug of the atomizer?

Thank you Laredo,
no, if you need airflow through the plug (not the case with 901 atty) you need to drill a small hole on the side of the adapter, in my case i did not have to do that for my 801 atty, for some reason there is enough airflow for a nice draw. i did drill a little hole on the side of the RCA connector cover on my 401 adapter since the draw was impossible.

That "thing" was a led flashlight that i gutted and converted to a power pack with one 18650 battery at 2500 mAh for lasting power.
You don't have to carry that in an airplane, the question is...what can you carry on a plane? Maybe you will not get away even with a regular e-cig.
A nicostick, a Magnum or a PVMA will all seem suspicious in an airport, if you know what i mean.
 
I have only gotten up the courage to get the courage to carry on the 901. I just left it in my back pack. I have to say they ware major airports.
I know the small airports look pretty hard for anything suspicious.

I still won't vape on it in my seat. I just take a few drags in the bathroom.

lol - wrong thread by any chance ?

warp1900, this is another excellent example of "thinking outside the box"!! Great idea and I'm definitely interested in trying this out!!:thumb::thumb::thumb: I've got a ton of RCA connectors and cable laying around from my car audio days and was just thinking I needed to clean house and start throwing that kind of stuff away! 8-o Thanks for your ingenuity and sharing of this idea.

Thanx TnA, yes, that is exactly my point...most of us have RCA cables and devices sitting around, it is a connector that has been around with us for so many years and yet we don't pay much attention to it anymore. I believe that this solution will help develop even further the options we have for powering our atomizers in so many different and much simpler ways.
To me the best is that i don't need to worry about finding a good (and expensive) power supply for my heavy vaping needs. I just build my own so easy now. My 5,000 mAh sits on my desk and i use it everyday and lasts me almost 3 days without having to charge it.
I can also switch in seconds to my little nicostick boxes or magnums depending on my mood or need. I can vape with a cable attached (from USB, power box, Power supply form the wall, or) or carry my choice of power in a little box (1 X 14500, 2 X 14500, 1 X 10440, 2 X 10440, 1 X 18500, 1 X 16340, 2 X 16340). And every one was built with a minimal investment for parts (an RCA jack or plug goes for around .30 to .40 cents)

:shock::shock::shock: Wow, you must vape A LOT! :D

My 2000mah boosted to 4.5V lasts almost 5 days, and my 1200mah 7.4 regulated down to 5 lasts for about 3.5 days. Is that 5000mah LI-Poly, Li-Ion, or what?

I'm guessing that with a special adapter warp is running 3 attys simultaneously :)

Which is something I want to build, when I'm sure the batteries can handle the current; perhaps best for each to have their own.

I think adapter should be spelled adaptor, no? Allowing adaptations; an adapter is one one who adapts (i.e. a person as subject). So henceforth I shall adapt my spelling habit and adopt 'adaptor'; that makes me an adept adapter in adopting 'adaptor' I guess ;)

Yes Laredo i vape A LOT, anything in between 7 and 10 ml a day, my wife tells me i should probably go back to analogs, LOL (1.5 pack per day X 28 years).
It is 2 18650 Li-ions @ 2500 mAh each in series. That is the beauty of the RCA system, i don't have to deal with USB connectors anymore.

P.S. i have to add that i am vaping 0 nic juice, so that should explain the excess?

Two 3.7v 2500mAh batteries in series is equivalent to a 7.4v 2500mAh cell, not 5000mAh. Anyway, shows how good those 18650s are :)
