Made my 1st "tin mod"

Protected batteries are less likely to set your house on fire if you short them out.My batteries in that picture are a couple of recycled laptop batteries connected in parallel (to reduce the amperage drawn from a single cell)as I got sick of hunting the internet for some of the specifications(specifically,their max discharge current)I finally came across a torch site where they mentioned being able to run approx 10 amps,but for various reasons(namely,if I tried drawing 10 amps & the cell exploded taking off half my face,I couldn't really hunt him down & complain)I self-imposed a max draw of just 5 amps.The dripper on the box is a dual-coil @ 0.6 ohms(I think it was)and was melting the wires soldered to the original switch so I sourced that as a replacement,it works fine but is only a click on/off rather than a PTC(Push To Connect)like its predecessor.The black switch was stolen off one of my flying models

i was watching a vid on youtube. the fella made a battery box with 1 aaa 3.7 battery a ptc switch, an led and a small resister..wired them all up and got 6 .2 volts from the mod. as i say im no electrician so this puzzled me. is the resister just for the led? and do i need a resister if not using an led?.. i am wanting to use it for dripping which i have never tried but dont want to send too many volts through the box ( i believe drippers only need low voltage). or do i just build and use?. sorry for being a pain lol.
thanks bob

Now that is an idea (looks around for interesting containers......)

Also I like the idea of a thread showing repurposed items

LED's are generally there so you can see when the power is flowing,the resistor is likely for the LED.I wouldn't know how he got 6 volts from a single AAA battery without a PCB included,and also a AAA cell isn't 3.7 volts.Post the YouTube link,I'll watch it & see what he has is all I can suggest.

A AAA sized lithium ion battery is a 10440, and I've never seen one much above 350mah. I've used them in mini tin mods, but as a single cell they are pretty useless due to their small capacity.

sorry he got 4 volts lol..
http://youtu.be/q8BAiGd4Xsg so can i just use 2 aaa batts? would that be enough power? thankyou for your time

mattpelt30 don't put any pictures up, they just want to clone it, or send the pictures to the Chinese so they can do the hard work....oh! And welcome to the planet, well done.

That's too funny lol thanks
