"injall" front
First mod and I knew I wanted a metal box, no plastic (too fragile) no wood (too easy). And some IMR batts, no LiPo (too scary). Hammond's aluminium enclosure and some 18650's seemed to me like the most obvious choice, cheap and easily available.
There's already a lot of mods using 1590G (100mm) for single 18650, and 1590B (112mm) for dual 18650 mods. But I wanted the best of both. What I had in mind was a mix of the "Goliath" by Darren, the "Duke" by Goss and the "Hybrid" by Shan: use a smaller 1590G with dual 18650... I know it's not the smallest dual 18650 you can do: I saw a 1590P (80mm) with a DNA30 and USB charger and big firing button, tight fit but doable if you remove a screw and the batt holder.
Anyway, I decided to stick with the 1590G because I wanted to keep the 4 screws to make it magnetic, and add a challenging feature to it: flush mounted 510. Not almost, I do mean no gap at all. Metal on metal. And last but not least: a centered one to reduce the top heavy issue. Tricky.
Enough challenge for a first build with no experience or electronic skills, if you ask me.
I'm vaping on a DNA now!
