New to the forum...But needing some DIY MOD Help..

[Gab Jornacion]

Hey guys... I'm quite new to this forum...and has been vaping for 3 months already..
Uhm...Here in the Philippines Full Mechanical mods are very popular..


and I've seen DIY full mechanical mods made from SMINT Boxes..

Now I want to try and create one..but I can't seem to get how full mechanical mods work..
I mean, I can see their parts and how they interact...but how do they do it?

I know how to create the circuit using wires...but full mechanical mods don't have wires inside them..
they just have these pins and contact points that touch the battery and the connectors..

if anyone can please explain to me how full mechanical mods work I would really appreciate it

links to Tutorials would also be nice

Thanks in advance and happy vaping!

Welcome once you get 5 posts you can move around the forum. The APV section of the forum should be able to help. Just respond to this and you will have 2 out of the way.

Those pins act like "short" wires. They just take the place of wires.

@klynnn Thank you for the info

@nahoku thanks for the insight...but...how exactly do I connect a pin to the atty connector?
I have a Sigelei Chrome Telescopic mod...

This is what touches the positive side of the battery..I turned it upside down to see that small pin


anyway under that is the atty connector:


How exactly is the pin connected to a 510 connector? I'm assuming that the 510 connector has a positive and a negative poles too..



EDIT:

I seem to get how it's attached to the connector now...silly me.. )
Anyway..thanks for the help

when you can, post a few more times and head here:

Modding Forum

Its the modding forum and will explain a lot. If I remember correctly, there are a number of smint mods there with plans and complete explanations on how to do them. once you get a few items you'll need to build it, its actually quite easy and a whole lotta fun. Good luck.

Thank you sir Mac...I've actually been lurking around there but I haven't seen any Smint Mod posts yet...I'll just keep on looking
Thanks again!

I don't know if you can view this without at least 5 posts, but try it.

If you can't, reply to posts until you get at least 5 so you can visit the link. It's a link to someone who made a Smint mod. I don't know if they used the same type hardware you have, so you may have to purchase something. Still it should give you an idea.

Very simple.

Mod is figured with black. The button is screwed intro the mod tube so it makes contact with the tube. When you are pushing the button inside it will make contact with the central pin which is connected to the negative pole of the battery. The positive pole of the battery is pressed against the upper pin which is isolated from the rest of the body to avoid short circuit. Hope you will understand how it works.

 

[Gab Jornacion]

@nahoku thanks for the link...i've actually stumbled across it earlier and currently analyzing how he did it

@ibm390s thank you for the insight...so basically i just need the switch to have something touch the central pin when pressed?

 

[ibm390s]

Yes, when the switch is pushed you are closing the circuit. Negative pole trough the case positive pole trough the upper pin.

 

[Gab Jornacion]

I see... thank you for the info!
I'll let you know if I run into problems while making my first DIY mod or if I successfully do it

A pure mechanical mod has his advantages but some disadvantages also. I'm suggesting you to use a kick for your setup. Two main advantages, one is related to constant wattage calculated automatically by the electronic contained in the kick itself based on the resistance of the coil, second battery protection, basically you won't be able to deplete the lithium battery since the kick has a built in cut-off protection. If you want to remove it, since is an add-on it will take just one minute.

I'll try experimenting first with a pure mech mod...after that I'll try making a variable voltage one(that's what the kick is for right? or am I wrong? not really sure..newbie here.)

Here you have the link to it.

Basically kick is a VW (variable wattage) regulator.

 

[ibm390s]

At the end it's true that is a VV also since the only option to regulate the wattage is to modify the voltage. Coil resistance is constant and to obtain constant wattage the electronic should regulate the voltage, but on the kick you have only one multi turn switch which will allow you to set only the desired wattage. The rest is done internally by the electronic. Compared with provari for example which is giving you the possibility to control the voltage.

L.E There is an option (PWM) but i'm trying to keep the idea as simple as possible.
