A Tutorial for a DIY VV Dual 18650 Wood Mod

As promised. Here is a tutorial for building a VV wood mod. Using a OKR-T 6 amp switching regulator, Voltage display and dual 18650 batteries. This one is highlighting the differences from the other tutorial I posted before. So If you have not read it (What the heck is wrong with you ) here is a link to that post to reference back to.

Here is what we are building









Parts List



Mad Vapes

510 Connector

18650 Batteries 2 at least

Voltage Display - Only if you want to mount a outside display on the mod. It can be monitored with a screw on display or multimeter. But it is much easier with it already on there.

Horn Switch


Vapoligy

(2) Pairs Battery Spring Plates - Battery Spring Plate


Radio shack

PCB- Printed Circuit Board They have a few get the one that has a mix of 2,3,none, and continous connections between holes they sell
for aroung $2.50. Or if able to make your own.

Small magnets If needed


Digikey - Once again a big thank you to bstedh on the ECF forum for a great post and diagram. Here is a link if anyone wants to read
Easy OKR-T VV mod

OkR-T Switching Regulator comes in 3,6, and 10 amp sizes. I ordered a 6 amp for this one and a 3 amp for another mod. Very happy with both. Batteries last a lot longer than linear regulators.

Hopefully I covered everything you need to make your own. But if you have any questions or see any safety concerns please fill free to
post. Any and all Comments and or critiques are greatly appreciated. Also if you do make one please post a picture for me.

Enjoy and Happy Vaping!

 

Wow nice detailed information. Maybe I'll get out my soldering iron and see if has learned anything in the 10 month or so time out I gave it for mis-behaving.

 

Nice job... looks like a fun build. Love the small box from the other tutorial, use it everyday.

Where did you get that switch? Looks different from the ones I got at MV, your switch is more flush to the box and dig that.

Thanks again.. can't wait to make this one.

 

Thank you. Yea for this one I had to order a different switch the one from madvapes got misplaced somehow. So I found one at digikey cost a little more but like the way they look and screw on terminals to boot. Here is a link

One of these days I am going to take the jump and actually make a mod, but I am not good with working in small spaces, so I have been hesitant - this looks awesome though.
