Vapetari

[vapejustin]

This is a DIY project I did. It's something I've thought about for awhile and while it's not practical for something to take with you, it's still a good conversation piece and pretty cool from a nostalgic point of view.


I'm using the OKL-T/20 chip (think hexohm v2) and dual 18650 batteries. The batteries are entered into the bottom of the device due to room constraints. I used the original atari 2600 joystick button by cutting the PCB out and soldering to the traces and replaced the old spring with standard 22 gauge kanthal wire. It's sensitive and works really good. It also rips pretty good too. The parts list can be seen at:

This includes a box and button if you just want to make your own box mod. You can find the wiring diagram at:

The volt meter I got off of amazon, and the joystick I got off of craigslist.

I think if we had a mod contest, you would come in 1st place.

I feel this is better than NES controller builds.

Thank you! I'm still a noob at this, it's my second box (2.5 technically because I messed up a raptor chip on my first go), but I've gotten a lot better at wiring and such to make things look nicer. I thought about making a sega genesis controller mod just to stick it to the nintendo controller people.

Truly a vintage vape you've got there. I'd like to see a game cartridge next or perhaps a red ball joystick, the ball could hide the atty.
