Homemade Usb Passthrough with broken 510 ego/tornado battery

[liquido]

This is my mod.Good to vape on the sofa.

Take the usb cable and the button from a broken or cheap pc mouse.

Empty the battery and the circuits from the cap.

Fortunately, this button will fit perfectly...

Weld the positive(red) in the cap to the button. isolate welding with tape.

Make a hole in the battery empty case for the usb wire. Secure the wire with a knot inside and one outside

Make a coil with some copper wire and weld the negative wire (black) to it. It will make contact with the battery case.

Weld the positive wire (red) from usb cable to the botton and isolate with tape, with a piece of wood or some non conductive material secure the button in the cap hole. Combine the cap and the battery case and put some tape to fix them.

Well done, you have a new PT.

For best vaping experience use an usb hub with power. This is 5V 1000 mAh. I tried whit 510 NR atty, cartom XL 510 NR. No Problem, Is like you use the original battery but infinite power.
Good Vaping.

I just threw one of these together using an old dead eGo clone battery and the cord from an old dead pt. I have a wall adapter and a car lighter adapter. On both of these when I press the switch on the pt, the light goes out on the adapter. It works just fine when plugged into my computer, but I have read that these things can kill a motherboard. Any thoughts?

Try with an external usb Hub with wall power plug. It must be at least 5V 1000 mAh. Works fine for me see the picture

You could eliminate the knot on the outside, if it isn't holding from the inside, then some glue in there, or tie around a thin dowel that wedges into place. Also, if the press fitting is in good shape you really don't need the tape either. You don't need to have it pocket ready sturdy, it just has to survive couch activities.

How the heck do you get the battery apart in the first place? I've searched on here but haven't found out how.

 

[jlarsen]

I suppose these homemade passthroughs only work for a 5v system, and would burn out 510 attys made for 3.7v systems?

Forgive lowly,most ignorant student of mod making but is correct that all passthru without battery are 5 volt? The only attys that would get burned out are the LR type;regular attys would be fine.

 

[jlarsen]

So, could you make a passthrough with a good battery, and would it be 3.7v?

So how did the OP get the EGO battery apart??

 

[Angler]

Cool!!!!!!

 

[Cyre]

So how did the OP get the EGO battery apart??

I've not been able to get one apart. Someone should know how, seems like.

 

[zadane]

It's pretty simple to take it apart...

just start wiggling it until it comes apart... (from the adapter end)

 

[Cyre]

None of mine will, they must be glued or something. If anything comes apart, it's the atty. Then again, I'm trying to get a 501 battery apart, not a ego.

 

[Worldgod]

I have popped off the led end and then the guts jus come out...stick a screwdriver into open end to pop out the 510 connector.
