Video - details on the 901 USB conversion

[Bastage]

I made another USB 901 cable for Cashmere, this time I videotaped the mod itself. If you are interested in doing this mod this video might help you. I had to cut the video to save time, the original was way too long - because of that I have scrapped the long explanations of everything and added a few of my own audio tracks from my home studio - This is a pretty good overview of what you need to do to get the USB working. I hope you enjoy it.

Maybe I should have said what you said there is also
a comparable difference on the smoke thickness on my 801.

I enjoy my 801 through the usb port a lot more than before when I was
using batteries.

haha ...

Put my battery on for a night out tonight, and now everything seems week compared to the USB ... HAHA ... this thing is heaven on earth! Amen Bastage ... Amen ...

Cash you probably need xvid-divx plug-in for it to work as it works perfectly all right on mine.
Nice guitar playing bastage . if you were in the UK we could have had a jam.

Hmm. You probably don't have the xvid codec installed. You can download it here:

Hey cash, glad you like it bro. Like I said before its nothin special but it works!

Gonna do it ton. Was gonna use a paperclip switch but thought better of it. I also have a dead pen batt I may try it on. Thanks man!

I would recommend against trying to use a paper clip as a switch! RUn down to radio shack and get you a few cheap pushbutton switches. I'm going to make a much better version of this as soon as I get a chance (the ghetto mod is working just fine so no rush), I'll post up pics when available. Good luck doing your USB mod. I'd like to know how it turns out so post up when you're done. -J

Thanks for the video. I originally envisioned being able to extract the battery and using the existing pressure switch but its all to tightly packed for any such hopes but the way you did it.
I made one of these but with me being the switch (plug/unplug manually), until I Can solder one up.

e-CIG.com has these for $15 +20shipping for us US buyers.

Its defiantly cheaper to DIY until puresmoker.com or one of of our US suppliers starts to stock them.

I'm really excited about this one! Only been at this two weeks or so, and I'm already tired of changing/charging bats at work. Since I write code for a living. I'm always at my computer...

I hope Cash gets them sooner rather than later...

BTW - I really like the length of the USB cable that is pictured in the above post. Hope it's for real.

 

[Bastage]

I'll still use my home made cables, as I like the manual switch more... but this is a great product for people who can't make their own cables.

 

[RatInDaHat]

the e-cig.com one frankly sucks. Just my two cents.

 

[sixstring]

Thanks Rat. I was really close to buying one. I've seen how you love good vape, and if you say it sucks, I'll wait for something better.

I may be building some more with manual switches, still trying to determine price point and what it's going to cost me to make them. I've never used an e-cig.com cable so I can't comment on them, but the ones I make don't suck. They won't be that cheap because they are hand built and it requires a battery to make them. Keep an eye out for a request thread...if I can get enough people committed to buying then I'll make some.

 

[Somoney]

Exactly Rat, e-cig is a big Question mark for me as I've spoken to them about items on there site via the chat feature and they said they were out. Why does it say "In Stock" then?! Anyway, 1st thing I learned is never drop your e-cigarette as it can damage the pressure switch. It did give me an excuse to try this mod out though which is nice! For e-cig to put a usb cable behind that pressure switch scares me. While I would like a pressure switched USB option, I'd like to try a manual switch like you did B.

 

[GreyHawk]

Well I gotta say thanks Bastage. Followed your directions and built a USB mod for myself. This thing absolutely rocks. Between you and Invidregis feeding my compulsion for new gadgets I have a feeling I'll be playing alot.

 

[gashin]

did it. But my comp keeps shutting down when I hit the power! WTF!
