USB charger mod

Left: original 510 USB charger
Right: modded USB charger for 901

I wanted a USB charger for my 901, but couldn't find one. I picked up a second 510 charger and modified it, instead.

I opened up the charger, removed the 510 connector, and soldered in the end from a dead 901 atty. There are only two wires to work with, so it's a really simple job. I used gobs of a silicone type of adhesive around the connector to hold the new part into place, since the casing isn't designed for a 901 atty connector.

I gave it a quick check, and it seems to work. I need to wait until the silicone hardens to make sure the connector stays in place before I fully test it out, though. The silicone should harden and form nicely around the inner bits.

Follow-up: I didn't use enough silicone at first. After opening the charger and adding another hefty shot of adhesive, it works great.

Awesome! Very resourceful. I saw your carrying case mod, as well. You seem to be pretty handy. I looked through some of your other pics on PhotoBucket, and that aquarium stuff looks impressive. Are you planning to build a NicoStick next?

Hey, thanks.

I have been thinking about making a mod of some sort. It's crossed my mind to have a battery and an atomizer separate, connected by wires.

This is the first I've seen of the NicoStick; I think I could manage it. I've seen a mod made from a flashlight which caught my attention. (I can't remember who built that one.)

If you're gonna do that, you should check out this thread:

j0ker: Thanks for the fix.

I probably should have taken pics while the device was open and in pieces. Darn...

voltaire: Nice. Looks like someone beat me to the idea. No big surprise, though. I've only been vaping for a couple months. Ha ha.
