this is my first attempt at making my own box, i have gutted and rebuilt an existing mod with an 04050 chip, this mod i am planning on using an okr t6 chip, with ptc fuses and reverse polarity. i will keep this updated with photos and description when necessary.

so the box itself;

it has taken me a couple of evenings to get this far

today, i have finished the exterior and have started on the battery housing

the battery housing will obviously made to be a snug fit, and will also be glued in place. once i have decided on the position for everything, and the holes cut etc, i will lacquer inside and out to make it water tight

Cool box build rhay. Very Oriental looking.

Keep us updated. I hope your eFest batts live up to the task.

I hope so too lol. They are the only two batts I have that have never been used, early reports are reasonable. I have the 18500's which last me 3/4 of a day in a dna12 mod.

I have loads of modelling match sticks lying around from projects I did years ago

Its slowly taking shape, the volt display will be for out put voltage, was bored last night after my incident with the pot lol, so cut the hole forthe display. Oh and it is green

Very good and unique

Very well done mate

The only suggestion I have is maybe a different fire button. Something more fancier.
Did you use a mosfet to break the heavy current thru the 50ma button? or did you use it on Pin 1?

rhay80 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 02, 2014, 06:16:32 PM »

It will be wired on pin 1 with a 10k resistor across pins 1-3, also with a zener diode to the switch.

Switches are hard to choose, got a bunch of tactile switches lying around so just used what I had

Its taken about 5 evenings to get to this stage, but that's with wiring up the chip etc, I will just be using a clear lacquer on it.

It is really tough actually, I have dropped it a couple of times, I use a decent wood glue, its a waterproof/weather proof adhesive.

Breaktru · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2014, 05:09:28 PM »

Looks even better completed. Nice vapor production too.

rhay80 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2014, 05:47:42 PM »

Thanks breaktru, its a single coil 0.4 ribbon kanthal @ 1.4 ohms running 3.9v

Visus · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2014, 06:26:02 PM »

Way cool

Are you sure thats a 4050 looks like a series batt config? Maybe not see it proper..

rhay80 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 06, 2014, 01:05:55 AM »

In my op I said I had only done builds with an 04050, this was my first build using the okr t/6 chip

CraigHB · « **Reply #22 on:** May 06, 2014, 02:50:20 AM »

Excellent, that's a cool pot with the hex drive.

rhay80 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 06, 2014, 06:17:04 AM »

They are from stealthvape, you can get several different wheels/spindles for it too, or leave it as I did

rhay80 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 07, 2014, 04:11:49 PM »

Origen duel micro coil @ 0.8 ohms :lol:

Breaktru · « **Reply #25 on:** May 07, 2014, 04:27:34 PM »

Great vapor production That's 17.298 Watts
It's working well rhay

rhay80 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 07, 2014, 04:31:32 PM »

It was firing fine @3.9v but turned it down to 3.7 as that was more comfortable, but yeah it's going great.

The purple efests are holding up well, after 4 hrs of moderate to heaving vaping, both batteries read 3.68v
