First the Puck, now the Puck SD

[capecodjim]

I'm waiting for parts for more mods....

I tried to put the guts from an AAA battery box into a AA battery box to have room left for a juice bottle..... I didn't like the way it was coming.. (ok, after I trashed the AA box).. So I made an SD!

It took me a little longer than I planned but it came together nicely!

I used the smaller switch and soldered one leg of it to the negative battery terminal plate where the slide switch and plastic inside was removed. It was kind of fragile and secured in place with hot glue so it won't move and short out.

The other leg of the switch is attached to the upper post on the atty connector with a wire. Another wire from that post goes to the negative leg of the tiny LED. The positive lead of the LED is soldered to a 470 ohm resistor, the other leg of which is soldered under the bent over bottom connector on the atty.

I removed the positive battery plate on the upper right of the box. I then bent the bottom connector on the atty back over its bottom and positioned it where the positive plate was. The positive terminal of the battery makes direct contact with the bottom connector of the atty.

I was too scattered to take pics along the way but will try to be more organized next time....

I tried to add a juice bottle to my Puck and didn't like the way it was coming out so I made it into an SD instead. I took more pics this time.

Here's the switch. The leg has a bend on the end which is soldered to the negative battery plate. The wire on the other leg and will go to the top connector on the atty.

Here's the atty connector with the bottom tab folded over itself and the top connector bent to accept the wires easier.

Here's the LED with resistor soldered to the positive leg, bent in position to be installed.

Here's the switch and battery plate in position.

Here are all the parts loosely fitted in and ready to be soldered.

Thank you so much for the Puck design. I was starting to build the original Puck, but when I saw that the battery pack had some space on one end I decided to build a Puck SD. I did not see this thread yet before building my "slim" Puck. Here is what I built, using a 510 connector. I decided not to add an LED due to space but may still put one. I was also worried that e-juice may get to the positive end of the battery series, so I cut some of the switch cover and glued it on. With that, the battery connector boxed in. The cover is almost intact with just a half moon cut for the 510 connector.
Thanks again for all the ideas.. One thing I do notice is once you start vaping the Puck, the normal pv batteries are just not as satisfying.

Nice job! Really Clean. I try telling everyone that once you use this, it is hard to go back. 4 NiMHs is hard to beat when it comes to producing vapor and battery life. I know I can't use anything else.
