shotty mods

ok im just going to put in a little about batteries etc
links to the batts that i use from dealextreme
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4419
and the charger which does 3.0v or 3.7v via a switch on the side of the unit
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1236
it is also circuit protected which means that once the battery is fully charged this unit will actually stop charging the battery and just maintain that volt level , nice and safe
heres a line up of batts together so you can see the relative size of them

the shotty mod is made to take 2 x 3.0v /3.6v cr123 batts nice n snugg
if you are using the 17335 batts you will need to place magnet spacers to make up the difference in battery length
so fit these in as shown

the arms of the mod are adjustable and can be removed for cleaning
just loosen and undo the little bolts and pull em out then lift the connector bridges off while pushing down the central wire
juice can accumulate in the contact area if you drip vape like i do
so if the vape feels as tho it is getting weak despite fresh batteries you may well just need to remove the atty's and give the wire end a bit of a cleanup
if you drip pour like i do and end up getting juice all over everything then you can pull everything off and give it a good cleanout

when loosened the arms are free to be adjusted to a wide range or removed completely for cleaning
the way the connectors are set up nice and open its very hard for it to get clogged up at all

You just need to get to 5 posts to be able to PM I believe, so perhaps go find some threads you can contribute to?

Billy, your the best mate. The shotty is freaking insane. I bought some stock cr123 from dse just to test it out. MAN oh MAN, it has some kick.

you should go commercial

 

Picked up the shotty from the post office yesterday, all looks great thanks Billy.

Havent given it a go yet but ill pick up some batts next week and blow my head off

Thanks again Billy!

 

Billy gave some great advice re cleaning but I thought I would knock this up for all us shotty owners out there:

heisr , nando and scanlan - thanks for the feedback guys
i hope it provides a good "keep off the nasty ciggies hit" for you
always good for a .comgh is to pass it to a freind who smokes but has never vaped and see what the reaction is

cool vid jato cheers for that, i wish i wasnt so camera shy otherwise i would have done something similar
im bad enough trying to take a good photo
i drip/pour with mine and it does need a little wipe down every now and then but everything is pretty easy to get to
the little insulators are uv and heat resistant polypropolene

 

Picked up some CR123s from woolies this arvo to have my first vape on the shotty (rip off artists they are..$9.95 per battery )

I had a bit of a choke on it at first, need to inhale for less time

Awesome device Billy, just cant wait until my batts come from Deal Extreme so i can vape away without fear of being without

 

never enough spare time atm
was meant to be doing something else today but hid in the shed
these are just bits n pieces
not intended for sale
just me mucking about making my next personal pv items
there is no modders forum here so ill just use this thread instead

tact switch is housed in its own little block of alloy that is easily removable , i used 16mm thick block and will probably redo it in 10mm

510 connectors are not yet pressed in that can wait until im sure ive done all machining needed
tube will be long enough to take 3 x 3.0/3.7v cr123 type batts

update to the std shotty using 510 connectors with relief cuts where the tube goes

i was going to round off the square edges but it seems to suit it , might make some square alloy endcaps for it aswell to make it look meaner
im still toying with the idea of making a knuckleduster/ecig combo mod - how handy would that be !!!

hahah Mr.MIA billy. That is some awsome work you have there. Can't imagine the throat hit on that!

Btw JATO, i think we should make a modders section. We seem to have a few DIY modders here and Mr.Bellett has some fine stuff out there now too! might open the doors too some new creative mod ideas

 

Hey is mine ready yet lol?
I was on the original list
Snipper

 

I better correct this joke before anyone gets the idea that Billyboy has kept me waiting.
The real story is I got trapped into trying to read all the ECF ramblings and did not come back for a while, then when I did I forgot all about it.

Whoops
