Nameless Box Mod build.

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

Ok so after seeing loads of gorgeous homemade box mods and having the occasional cloud comp. I thought id have go myself

heres the spec
Non regulated

Dual 18650s in parallel giving 4.2v
FDV v4 510
Stainless steel switch running on a mosfet

im by no means an expert but the wiring diagram is simple enough.  I was in touch with Mev this morning via PM to ask if the14g wire I planned on was safe to use.  Answer being should be ok.

First step - Finding materials.

Im getting all my supplies from Here, all components etc have been checked, checked and checked again for fit.

shopping list.

total spent jist a little over £35

now just sat back waiting for parts to be delivered 

Stay Tuned

It'll be a breeze mate.

I'd be interested if you could put up a wireing diagram when you do it plz bud.
Sounds good
The 510 is a great connector to use.

igual i just watched this last night and its the same thing.
Dual 18650 in parallel and un regulated. more or less the same parts as Steve (VapeStorm) is using.

But he also uses a master on/off switch.
Got me tempted to make one as well lol.

Awesome thanks jcol!

Its a really good video imo.
He makes it look so easy lol. His wiring diagram is 8.09 mins in to video but he does show it a few times

I did notice he used 2 x 15amp fuses as well Steve (VapeStorm) not sure if you are planning to use them

It is at times like this that I really wish I could get to grips with the pleasurable task of building my own box mod. However, my soldering skills are non-existent (never picked a soldering iron up, let alone possessed one!), and I really don't think that my shaky understanding of elecktrickery is sufficient, so will have to bow to your (collective) superior knowledge!
I do of course wait with baited breath for the pictures

If I can find the right fuses then yes, but Im planning going quite low on this so 30a like in the vid would blow instantly. As for battery safety i know the batteries are capable of the builds i intend to fire. aiming for about .1ohm but obviously ill build upto that not just slap a super sub ohm coil on it straight away.

No superior knowledge hear Andy. Just youtube lol

[chykensa]

Steve (VapeStorm)- you are very kind, but you and I both know that some skill in the soldering department is rather useful when building something that has the potential to blow up in your face!

[igual]

Same here Andy chykensa when I made my epipe was only the second time I ever used a soldering iron lol
That was a really informative video. Many thanks.
Think I'll be trying this in the new year.
One day I want to try with a DNA board but soldering the ribbon is the but that scares me lol.

You hoping to come down on Saturday igual? Bring the pipe with you, would love to have a look!
