My first box mod

[Mad Hatter]

Here is my first box mod. It has a nice little tact switch on the back. It isn't the cleanest thing but it produces awesome vapor using 6v and 1000mah Duracell rechargeable NiMH batteries that can recharge in 15 min. I put a blue LED in it for when it is activated and of course I utilized the built in switch for the mains control. I used an old dead battery from a 901 and hot glued it in place.

I am getting 6 full hours of vapor from this device and I am a very heavy vaporer. I only need to charge this device once a day.

Let me know what you guys think!

Good job!
I ve said this before but I am jealous of 15 min charge time!
How thick is the box? Just wondering if theres enough room to try stickin a button on the inside....

I got the small tact switch hoping it would fit but it wont. It is a 1/2" thick and absolutely zero room for much of anything. All of the space that is available is taken up by the power coupler and the LED and of course wiring.

Oh I see, it def looks like a tight fit!
Maybe... another tact switch with a long button. And to try putting it on the inside, so that longer button sticks out of the whole you made?.... Sry I just wont give up.... lol

That thing's pulling about 1400mA of current and you recommend a 50mA switch?

To the OP. A box like this would make life simple and you would have room for a real switch.

These switches are rated for 2A (2000mA).

Well, the main reason that particular switch was recommended due to the problem of not being able to fit anything else.....
NiMH in this case a good quality (better quality that the batts I have like ultrafire & tenergy) Also they use a smart charger... which is a way better and safer construction than lets say wf139.
Anyway worst case the button will go out (which they all eventually do) and all you'll need to do is to replace it. The button will either make contact or not. Box got an on/off switch, so I'm sure it will be used since any button would of been stickin out.
My point is, due to the size I used those switches before. Yes they are gonna be underrated for 4 1000mah batts, but they are not being used with crappy Lithium CR2s.
