Wood Box Mod for Under Ten Dollars

[Creniker]

So I made a wood box mod with less then $10 and less then two hours of work. Its big. It works really well though. As you will see in the pictures I went with a simple 2 14500 parallel set up, so I would be able to use it at home without fear of how much battery I had left, should last a while. Theres a lot of wasted space, this is only v1.0. Im thinking of making the next one either a bottom feeder with VV and 2 14500's, or VV with two 18650's and having a Voltage indicator built in. Theres quite a bit of room to work with. I don't mind the size, its quite comfortable, but its not for everybody. In the pics, I compare it to my 18650 Noego, and my 14500 NoEgo. Enjoy!

Nicely done. Apply a coat of stain, and it would be quite a beauty!

Great looking mod!

Where did you get that cone for the 14650 NoEgo?

I have an e-power which is the same exact thing just different looking and that thing is awesome.

That's not a cone, that is a drip shield.

I am planning on staining the next one, just didn't want to put a lot of effort into it until I felt sure it was going to be a good thing. v2.0 will be pretty sick. On my 14500 Noego I have a silver empire drip shield, I only drip or bottom feed, so it works out great. I have high hopes for this mod, I think it could make a way for people to own there own wooden box mod without spending a fortune.

Fine mod, but something that size would never fit in my shirt pocket.

Agree. Thats why its more of a at home mod. But once I turn this thing into a VV with indicator and maybe even a bottom feeder, I might have to just suffer looking odd and carrying it around!

Where did you get the box from? I wanna make one for me. Think I will shorten the box up a bit though. Hehe

SWEET!!!! You did a really nice job on that!
The bottom feeder my husband carved me was less than 10 bucks too.

I was also thinking of doing a shortened version. Hobby Lobby for $2. I used a old box mod that no longer worked to hold the batteries, a connector that was broke (fixed it with some heat shrink tube) and a old switch I had laying around. So I only paid $2 for this one, but I was being lazy lol. Next one is going to have to much stuff in it, and the one after that should be about perfect lol.

Very nice, lots of room there for more electronics, OKR-T and voltmeter, maybe even throw in a LiPo pack. clutchjunkie gave me a tip on where to get them cheap (thanks for that), HobbyPartz and HobbyKing.

I put in a drip cup. Made it out of a 3/4 inch PCB plug. The wood untreated gets F'ed up real fast, but some Lin Seed oil should help that.

very nice. i havent made it to a hobby lobby in a long while was this the only size wood box they had?

 

[Creniker]

They had a smaller one, but it would have taken some work to make it mod ready. This one came exactly like this. I liked that it was ready to go

 

[Dwindacatcher]

I dub this 'The Coffin'.

 

[keyzygirl]
