Yellow Clearence, Black Box $5.00

Does this look like it will work and is it the right size for the batteries ?

Double (2)AA Battery Box Covered + Wired On/Off Switch on eBay, also Parts Accessories, Aeroplanes, Radio-Controlled, Toys Games (end time 18-Dec-08 12:00:52 GMT)

Ted, that looks like the exact box sans the switch. I even used the wires that are attached. I'm sure you could just pop that switch out.

Yup- perfect time to be brainstorming- between contractions.

Breath... Breath... Switch... Drill...
Breath... Breath... Solder... Glue...

And then all you have to do is convert this DealExtreme: $18.23 TrustFire TR-802 Cree P4-WC 3-Mode 150-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*14500) or any of the others!!

maybe this one DealExtreme: $13.99 Small Sun ZY-C63 Cree P4-WC 100-Lumen LED Flashlight (1~2*AA)

this seems the best one to try

DealExtreme: $15.99 Romisen RC-A8 Cree Q3-WC 200-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*CR123A)

I am missing something, I understand the box,switch,battery, where did the male connector come from to attach the atomizer, and how do you recharge the battery?
thanks

The connector was harvested from a dead battery. Now the box opens up, pop the battery out (spring loaded) and put it on the charger.

Invidregis,

Answer me one question. Are you grounding out on the battery or on the brass outer ring of the male connection to the atomizer? The reason why I'm asking is that, I'm looking to make a combo USB powered/battery powered portable Schrodinger's Box (my name for your cool e-cig).

The way I want to wire it is to have the battery and the USB power on the same line. My concern is how to switch between the two. I don't want the battery & the USB to be working at the same time. I'm thinking I should use a DPDT slide switch to switch between the two power sources. What do you guys think?

 

[ted26]

Well just soldered all mine together and it works a treat

Lets see how long this battery lasts and if it makes the atomizers perform better for longer periods.
