Did u make sure to check the resistance between the outer casing (ground) and middle (hot) before you applied the power? Probably a short. I'm sure Bastage can offer some better advice tho. I know next to nothing about electronics.

You are shorting power to ground. Don't use it! Take it back apart and find the short. Red should never be connected to black at any time. The switch goes only on the red wire, the black wire goes straight to the casing of the battery. Sounds like you hooked the switch up to where it shorts red to black, OR if you stuffed all your connections back into the tube without insulating them the red wire would be touching the inside of the case (ground).
Here ya go. Not particularly pretty - but I was so excited to start using it I just slapped the tape on and got goin.

Holy crap.... I made mine work - its fking crazy man. I'm gonna post pics.... I found a nice switch!
LOL ... its Christmas early for GASHIN !!! woot!!!
Yep I needed this - lost two of my 901 atomizers, the black 901 batt and only got 1 working 901 white batt out of the 3 you sent me.
here's a vid of it in action - couldn't get the cam far enough to get the big vapor but the last hit kinda shows it.

is that... medical tape? hahahaha ! well, either way looks like it's working great. Be careful doing these mods guys, if the connection is not good or the +5 comes loose and is shorted to ground you could screw up your computer or maybe even start a fire. I'm glad to see people are getting some use out of this idea. If you're not sure about your connections, take it apart and redo it making sure nothing can easily come loose and cause problems. If you didn't properly solder and insulate the switch and ground wires, unplug the unit from USB power and night and when you're not using it.
Yeah haha it's medical tape - only way I can think of other than epoxy which Ill prob do later.
Get this thing and carry a USB modded shell around with you - set for life with esmoking!

omg there's so many! Now you can just get the 901 atomizers and one batt for a total of like 25 bucks and get one of these portable USB batts and you're set for life lol.

I think you have had enough for today! lol
You are talking to yourself now!!
Thanks Cash....Works great! Creates far more vapor than the battery and seems to me to give a better throat hit. Just wish it was portable.
Hmmmm....Maybe I can mount that solar charger to a helmet....Better yet the two can of beer helmet....Throw in a portable urinal and....

USB is pretty limitless, you can get car lighter to USB adapters, and wall plug to USB adapters pretty cheap.
Nice one Bastage, spent this afternoon playing about, had a real problem getting the solder to adhere to the outer casing, though got there in the end.
