PinPacks...

[Pinhead]

Hello All,

Well, after a lot of looking around and researching this and that, I now have 3 types of box mod planned (at the moment)! They are nothing fancy so far (after all, they are just battery box mods!) as they have 'normal' push button swtiches until I get the touch sensors but here's the selection:

The PinPack SB - the baby of the bunch - a single 14500 battery, discrete led indicator, kill switch. Model pictured has a 510 connection.



The PinPack DB

The PinPack JB - bottom feeding juice box - single 14500 battery, led indicator, kill switch. Models pictured have a modified 901 connection. One has a discrete led indicator, the other is a little more 'in your face!' (in fact, it doubles as a nice little torch).





Prices, including Touch Sensors or Large Button, choice of connectors (subject to availability) and choice of LED colour (subject to availability) are:

PinPack SB - £14 posted
PinPack DB
PinPack JB - £17 posted

Naked Box Mod (limited time/availability) (see other thread in the Modders Section) - £14 posted.

Wow well done Sean Looking forward to the pics

Thanks hun... have had to go through a couple of re-works so the ones I have currently are functional but some of the soldering is not my best work!

Also, had to re-do the led indicator as the first one was in a nice neat little mount that sits the bulb just proud of the case. Looks real professional but... the led is so bright that it doubles as a blue torch! It's that strong that you can't even look at it if you want to see anything else for the next 5 minutes!

The work around for this is very simple and, I have to say, looks much better (and gives a few customisable options too!).

Woooo hoooo!!!!!

Fantastic stuff Sean, can't wait to see the PinPacks . . . and hopefully make a purchase if you're going to be selling them?

[Pinhead]

Going to send out a few for testing/reviews/opinions/ideas and re-works hun before I decide to go into 'production'... I have a list in my head as many people here have been very kind with advice and parts so I have some debts to repay!

Sean

[Perpetua]

That's really most kind of you Sean . . . perhaps if the 'testers' were happy with their mods, they could possibly pay you for the parts at the very least?

[mrlimbo]

This looks promising mate , be great to see some pics after all your research and hard work

Hi Sean the 2x 14500 mod are you going to use a regulator? if not I would like to know how you are going to do this? it isn't going to be a 5v, I am intrigued mmmmmmmmmmmm
Is there any chance of you explaining how you are going to do this thanks Tony

Well done kid I love the name

[Pinhead]

Cheers Mark!

Dead simple and no regulator needed Tony... the batteries are wired in 'parallel' - this means that the output voltage remains at 3.7v but the mAh doubles. However, only batteries of the same power/type/capacity should be wired in parallel.

Example:

3.7v 100mAh battery, wired in parallel to a 3.7v 100mAh battery = 3.7 volts 200mAh output

3.7v 100mAh battery, wired in series to a 3.7v 100mAh battery = 7.2 volts 100mAh output

Simple explanation can be found here:

Did you see those small ball bearing on off buttons on mad vapes Sean ? I'm going to order a couple with those cases I've been after if you want some ordering, ill send you a link when I get home on what they look like on a fistpack as I haven't got the link on my phone

[tony2stix]

Thanks Sean have you tried a 5v mod yet? the only prob with a 5v is the soldering has to be spot on, because of the perf board, I have seen this done before somewhere will send you a link when my mind clicks into gear, also mate the juice mod what are you using to get the juice to the atty? I got some blunt hyperemic needles of ebay very cheap,
Tony
ps thanks

Hello Tony,

Yep, I have blunt needles with Leur fittings coming for the feed system and I'm looking into ways of making the juice feed without flooding or significant suck-back (got to admit I'm drawing a blank here though!).

I haven't considered a 5v box mod as yet but I have the parts for some 6v torch mods!

Sean

[Perpetua]

Have you seen these mods Sean . . . .

[l15a]

Hey Sean, what I have done for the feed system is,trim the end of the fitting of the needle, this then goes into the top part of the bottle, then a small hole is made in the lid of the bottle and a small bit of heat shrink is attached to the needle...this is a tilt and feed system I have no tube inside the bottle...There is also no flooding or leaking..

Having read this back I will take a pic for you to see cos I'm sure that makes no sense!
