First Wood Mod - Wall wart powered!

[troxelb]

I have been vaping for almost 2 years now. (Last cigarette was on 11/11/11) I have used a few different kinds of non VV mods. The madvapes battery box mods, the Silver Bullet, plastic Bolt and more recently a collapsible mechanical mod.

I do a little woodworking and I have been struggling with a design that looks good to me and has easy accessibility to the battery. I haven't come up with one yet, but I did build a wall wart powered wood mod which runs off 5v 2A.

I built it using the madvapes VV board kit v2. I had planned on putting a mini usb connection in as the input but I didn't order any in time. So I used a RC car Deans plug to connect power. The upside to this is that I can use my RC car batteries also. Not convenient by any means, but it's useful in an emergency.

Here are the pics. Let me know what you think.

Nice Job! I have been getting into wood mods myself, just static voltage as of now. Check them out!

I would love some advice on building a vv version of these.

Looking good!

The VV wasn't hard at all. I purchased the VV board from Madvapes. They don't seem to sell them any more though.

I also got an old Smoktech Groove board from here: MODS
The Groove was recalled because of a battery issue with the screws puncturing the lipo battery and starting on fire. From my understanding it was the case design not the board design. I haven't finished my mod with that though, so I can't personally say how safe it is.

The same place also sells a Vmax board. Zmax PCB

And there is always the DNA20 board, but the cost is up there. About $50 and more if you want USB charging capability. here is one example of pricing. DNA20D By Evolv
This board is more of a high end board that requires you to mount the display somewhere. The other boards have the display mounted on the board.

Looks awesome! But I have to admit I think I'm dyslexic, I thought the title said "Wall Mart" powered!

 

[Cyberslinger]

Yeah what battery is in there? And what's it's output rating?

My mod plugs into the wall. Using a USB recharging plug that I got with my Samsung GS4. It provides 2amps. It isn't the most powerful mod, but I don't tend to use high volts/amps so it is ok for me.

Like this post if you thought you saw "Wal-Mart" powered in the post title.
