My latest mod :D

[GothicLord]

Ok, so the coffin mod went well, and everyone loves it from what I've heard, so I thought I would try something a little more conventional.

So this time I went for a 2oz tobacco tin, and used the same components as I used for the coffin mod, so a twin 18650 VV setup, but in this case, enough extra space to take a pair of mini vivi novas, or it will hold a 10ml bottle of juice etc

Nice mate

[matty198111]

I made a tine single 18650 ut dont get much vapor

Used same insides as yours but didnt get a display

So hopefully once ive put it on steve multi meter it will be low, so up it get more vapour,,, hopefully

Although my soldering aint up to much either

[GothicLord]

the display makes all the difference, having VV is great, as long as you can see what voltage you are using

I'm already getting started on my next tin, which will be a single 18650 VV in a 1oz tin, with luck, that will be ready tomorrow evening, if not I will get it done sunday.

[matty198111]

Gonna order a few displays from mark for the next one

[matty198111]

Oh you said he showed you another site that sell different tins
Dont suppose you wanna tell me

[GothicLord]

The coffin tin came from ebay, this one is from pound land, and was 1 I used to use when I was on the rollies

[matty198111]

Ok cheers mate

Quick question Mat - you used two batts with the vv board right - It's step down ie more current in that out ?

[breaktru]

Congrats Gothic, looks good mate. What V range did you make it?

[GothicLord]

The display will read from 2.8v and the batteries can kick out up to 8.1V (which is great as they are rated at 3.7v each )

I tend to vape at about 8watts, so it tends to get used most between 3.5v and 5v as most of my attys at the moment are between 1.8ohm and 3ohm.

OK. ???

Very impressive Gothic.

That is a stacked battery mod..

So take some basic precautions and keep the battery as a pair, check them both every time after you charge to make sure the voltages are the same and drill some holes in the tin on either side where the batteries are located

I hope you have used a fuse of some kind too..

Macca the boards have under-current, short and thermal protection built in - It's the same one the lovely Garry Dibley tested out

As warlord says, it is a fully protected board I've used, chosen specifically for that reason, as I'm not wanting to risk anything.

Warlord was kind enough to go through everything with me when I built the coffin mod, and explained the pros and cons of using the vv board, and the separate component route.

I am the kinda guy who looks into everything before starting a project, as I don't like getting nasty surprises along the way
