Proetus Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Rather then post a new topic every time i start a new build or what not. I have decided i'll just have a running thread to post whatever it is i'm doing. Whether its a mod, modding some atty's or whatever it'll be in here. If i really get a hair up my ***, i might setup my camera and live stream. As of right now i got a few builds going on, waiting on a drill press to start modding drippers for bottom feeding. Todays odds n ends... Battery, fuses and charging board wiring done for a dual 18650 build. I also got the top cap +/- soldered on as well.

iheartvape Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Out of curiosity how do you cut your holes for the lcd and charging port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 To bad they don't make mounting plates for the charging boards. Nice work Proetus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Out of curiosity how do you cut your holes for the lcd and charging port? Drill and file by hand. Same goes for all the holes. To bad they don't make mounting plates for the charging boards. Nice work Proetus! They do, i refuse to pay $5ish bucks for them when it takes five mins to drill and file the hole.

Compenstine Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wouldn't you still have to epoxy it in to keep from having to drill holes? I would think that added holes and screws would take away from the looks. I like the clean look on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Correct, it is similar to the screen cradle. Still need to make the hole to fit the cradle to only then still have to epoxy it in. Love2VapeDaily and Compenstine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richstag Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Have you ever thought of building these out of micarta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 I have not, watched a short video... looks quite time consuming. Not sure how i would make an enclosure with it. I'll have to look around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well I have worked with it before and it's pretty easy to work with. I suppose you could buy a block and mil out for the housing. Just use a slab for the front. It's super easy to drill and shape and grind. I just think it would make your mods really above and beyond. Micarta's have awesome grip and feel in your hand.

Proetus Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Been awhile! Been tinkering a little bit nothing special tho. Waiting on a drill press vice so I can mod some atty's I have coming for bottom feeding. Crappy time of year for us where wife is out of a paycheck for a month so my building supply funds have dried up a little. I should be getting back on track here shortly with a few builds coming up.

Proetus Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00787W0MO/ref=cfb_at_prodpg Not the best in the world, but for the price and what I'll be using it for it'll work! Also comes with mounting bolts. Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
