Convert Vamo V3 to box mod?

[video61]

Thanks for that!
That looks like a nice cheap way to start!
Would I be correct in thinking that you could swap the battery holder in that kit for a single 18650 and it would still work ok? Obviously a different box would be used.

That's going to keep me busy for quite a while!

That's very cool.
How are you finding that battery / cell?
I'll probably be starting off with a metal box mod. I don't think I have the patience to work with wood!

Cheers, that was my first homemade mod, which is probably why I have a bit of a soft spot for vamo boards . The battery is 3 1000mAh LiPos in parallel to make a 3000mAh pack, it lasts for ages.

That mod was made by laminating 3mm hardwood ply. I built it up in layers which made it much easier to work with .

* Note to self: invest in 3 x 1000mAh LiPo cells for future mod project!
