Hi has anyone made a box mod from istick 30w guts and if so how easy was it please?

I haven't personally used that board but I have built mods with other PCB boards. It's not that difficult, theres only 4 connections to solder (battery +ve, battery -ve) , (510 +ve, 510 -ve). Maximum input voltage will be 4.2 so single battery is no problem , dual batteries will have to be wired in parallel. Fasttech sell a cloned version of the istick 30w pcb https://www.fasttech.com/products/3023/10010021/3120900. If you check out the discussion there..you'll see the wiring discussed.

You just then have to source a few parts (enclosure/battery sled/510/wire) and then work out how you'll fire the onboard switches). I usually just drill holes in the enclosures and use these http://www.modmaker.co.uk/Mod-Making-Supplies/Switches/Stainless-Steel-Tactile-Switch-Pusher-Set

but depending on the board and your soldering skills the switches can sometimes be wired so you can install the switches anywhere in the enclosure. Example (scroll down a wee bit)

Good advice above, said it all really. Will be a simple build and a good entry into modding.....just when disassembling the istick.... don't snip the old cells pos and neg at the same time XD
