Video - New 2x14500 5v White Oak Wood Mod

[theECB]

Hi all,

I had an earlier post going on about the 2x18350 mod (LINK: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modders-forum/123547-my-white-oak-2x18350-5v-mod.html). Well, here is the slimmed down version.

I used a deep mahogony stain on it with a gloss coat. Contains two 14500 batteries, a 3amp horn switch, and a 5v LDO regulator. I made it for a buddy of mine so I had to take a little footage before dropping it off.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks Deb. I'm just glad to have this project finished and vaping. It was sitting on my project desk and taunting me for quite sometime!

Good stuff again, glad I stuck around for the hidden track too. That finishing washer complements the horn switch quite nicely. Feel free to drop it off at my peeps in Marysville

 

[theECB]

Yeah, I didn't intend for the "hidden track". Simply neglected to trash that piece of the audio clip before rendering it for youtube. I'm sure the hard core vapors on here don't care to see me blowing blowing every 30 seconds either, but it's fun for folks that know little about e-cigs.

Marysville huh? I could practically toss it there from my desk!

B-E-A-utiful mods man!
I've been wondering for while if I could find wooden batt boxes, because even if I did have the woodworking tools, and I don't, there is no way I could make anything that looks half as good as that... I really like that gold washer under the atty, too....
Just a gorgeous mod, dude...
Wood, gotta love it...

Looks great. I finished my latest woody too. Haven't posted pics though. I love oak and them are both very nice.

Here is an ebay listing. I have seen this same box used in another mod posted here. It's pretty large, but should have room for any type of project you want to fit in there.

Excellent stuff ECB. Wood adds a certain class that a plastic AA box just can't match, huh?

I've been building a few of my own recently, mostly refining the process. Buying a box would work, but if you build on yourself, it'll be a custom fit that you can be sure of.

I've found a local source for exotic hardwoods that isn't overly expensive (some of them are tho), so I'm heading that way. They sell 1/8" thick slabs that with a little sawing and wood glue should make an impressive PV box.

I would like to look into more exotic wood myself. The white oak came from my brother in laws custmom door shop (any thing under 36 inches is okay to snag). So, though it's tough to beat free....it's worth it to use a nice wood if you're putting in the work.

Dang! Thanks for the ideas ECB! I hadn't thought of all the small trinket boxes that I have laying around my house! Now I have to round them all up and check them out...

I bought one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320513979543&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

Its a bit big but works fine for me. It holds an 18650 and a TI 5volt booster chip, and with a bit of fiddling it could propably hold a 5ml bottle as well

That looks really nice! Wish they still had some available. Thanks for the link!
