My new baby

[GothicLord]

lol it doesn't take much time really, just stopping every step to take a pic and add to the guide kinda piled the time on. I think I could have done it in about 90 mins if not, possibly quicker if I was used to building the circuit.

I am giving serious though to building a batch of these to sell, as I have had a few people say they would buy them if I did. If I do build a batch, who here would want to buy one??

Don't know how strong the glue is you are using, but could it be an issue where the battery terminals are?

[GothicLord]

The glue I use should be fine, I've used it in computer mods before, and had no problems, however if I do build a batch, I will be using a proper 18650 holders, rather than just terminals, as I now know they will fit the tin I'm using.

ok so I was sitting there last night, just finished doing a review of the ego mini, and thought I might do a quick demo of the coffin mod.

I have made 1 small change, and put in a battery box instead of just the contacts, as the batteries kept pining out when I opened the tin, and so I could show a few people who want one exactly what their finished product would look like.

Really impressed, I do fancy having a go, after a bit more researching.

Want to try and make one from copper piping.

Ooh nice...so how cheap are all the materials, gothlord?

[GothicLord]

it cost me a few pence under £17 to buy the components (+p&p) from www.warlordsmods.co.uk/, and a couple of quid for the tin from ebay, it's a very cost effective build, with the mod able to run from 2.8v - 7.6v that I've tested, the display won't function much below 2.8v, and I don't have anything with high enough resistance to test above 7.6v

I saw your Goth mod on another thread yesterday. Its superb & very niche! Your really should make some to sell. As someone said, the scarcity will add value so you could invest in parts for one & reinvest the proceeds to make another two etc.

[GothicLord]

I have had a number of requests now, both on here and at work, and it is something I am now planning to do, as I am enjoying building mods, and I know I will be able to shift anything I build, if not here, then I'm sure there would be takers on other forums.

I just need to get some tins in, and start building maybe 2 at a time to begin with
