another good way to go is brass musical instrument lac
Hi, breakthru, I just wanted to thank you for all your information about creating this mod. I've been vaping for about 8 months now and I have the mod bug bad. Your diagram of how to set things up is really great and very understandable. One thing I wanted to ask was, what did you use to put the small dents in the mod? I'm not sure how soft copper is so I figure that's important to me anyway.Sharing your work is a really great thing. I know that all your members really appreciate it. Thanks for what you do!
That's cool about the puncher. I don't have one of those but they shouldn't cost too much. I already got my shipment from Mad Vapes to start on my mod, but will have to wait until the first of the month to get the copper parts. And although I know nothing about it, I've been looking at a tool and die set that's pretty cheap. Would that work on the copper? If so, it would be another way to hold the caps on.
The mod bug is one tough addiction to overcome.... Copper can be tough to work with if you don't have the right tools. Just out of curiosity, what parts are you planning to use with your copper mod?
make sure and check everything with a meter before you push the switch!
Do you mean NO push button?--- have an electric stove, lol
What's the cheapest route I can go (not counting the copper) and still do what I need to do. I would appreciate any help with that. I would like to swing it so I could start making my first mod this next month. Having to wait 2 or 3 months would be agony.
Thanks about the info about copper caps too. I've already looked at them at Lowes. I don't know if they were "L" type or not, but I would think so. It's in the plumbing section.
Me again... I have a friend who has a small butane torch. Will that work?Hope so... It's the only thing I've got for a torch
If you'd really like to just "make a mod" there are other options.... http://www.madvapes.com/advanced-pv-s/box-mods.html You can spend about 10 to 20 dollars on a mod kit and save some money. you'll gain experience at mod building and have your very first hand made mod built by you. You don't need to worry about the fittings being L or M type........ You can make a copper mod out of L or M-type copper as well. Just think of it as L copper being a little more heavy duty than M copper... Both types will work. If there's an issue with the battery wobbling around inside the copper, you can roll up a thin piece of sheet plastic and cut it to make a snug fit for the battery.
I've never used a small torch like that but I'd think you'd be able to make that work. You just need to remember to pull the small silicone grommet out of the 510 connector before you put the heat to it, as breaktru mentioned in an earlier post... They are a little challenging to get back in without tearing them so be careful...... A ripped silicon grommet can short out your battery and make things rather unpleasant
Thanks about the torch. I think it would work too. I got my connectors from mv (gold) and I'm having a hard time seeing the silicone grommet. On the bottom side of the connector there is a "tiny" round piece around the center pole. Is that what you're talking about? And if that's it, how in the heck do you get it out??
Hi Lear. I haven't got the mod bug enough to where I want to buy something premade. And certainly no offense to anyone here, I'm just not found of box mods. I've seen some great ones on here, but for me I like the tube.
I understand, The box mod kits come un-assembled and can be a little challenging to put together. The kits on that site are great for the first time mod builders who don't want to spend a lot of money and would like to get the experience of building a mod. To be honest, my first mod was an old flashlight and then a cell phone and then copper...
http://www.madvapes.com/help-desk/knowledgebase.php?article=21 you can use something small enough to fit in the back end of the connector and push the center pin out gently. Then you can carefully pull out the rubber insulator with out tearing it.
And certainly no offense to anyone here, I'm just not found of box mods. I've seen some great ones on here, but for me I like the tube.
I can understand that, they're not for everyone. It's all I use though. Once you get past the idea an e-cig has to be round, it's not a big deal really.
I use the term e-cig in the most generic sense. Most people probably differentiate between them. I even call my boxes "my e-cig".
I love it that you call you box an e-cig because... well, it is one. I almost made a box mod as my first one. I liked it because everything was easy to get to. But my desire for a tube won out so here I am waiting to do that. Breakthru, sorry if I'm getting the thread off topic. It's supposed to be for the 3.7 mod. So I will shut up now
Got all the stuff for a copper mod...and a 5v box mod. Just waiting in one thing...connectors! I'm so happy I found this forum, you guys have given me confidence.NO LONGER ONE OF THE 87%!
Major announcement... My dremel tool arrived this afternoon (it's actually made by WEN). It's fairly big. I thought it would be smaller. It came with 100 attachments, but they all fit in a small box. If you haven't noticed yet, I've never had a dremel tool in my life Need to find some more documentation on the company site.So now I'm looking through stuff and just trying to check out what I have... but this is definitely a step in the right direction
