Let's Build A Rockin' Mod

Part 1: The Radio

Well, I am so sure this is gonna work, I will post pics as I build this baby. If I fail this may be embarrassing, but I am pretty sure it will vape just fine and the radio will still be fully functional. It is my second Stereo FM Mod, so I'm no FM Mod virgin!

Today we went to the Dollar Tree looking for something to mod. Didn't like any of the flashlights today. However, I noticed they had two different models of personal radios. I liked the shape and the built-in flashlight, so this is the one I bought. It was a buck!!


Getting home, I removed the back of the unit (held together with only one phillips screw) to expose the radio board.


You will notice that it was designed for two AAA batteries. I know I should put two 10440 batts in parallel (for better battery life) but I liked the idea of beinbg able to carry a spare carto inside of it.


Please note the big flashlight button (big chrome button) .. this will be the vaping button. It will wired to vape regardless of whether the radio is on or off.


My plan is to replace the tiny wiring with 24ga CAT5e stranded wire which will better carry the current for the atty. I also plan to remove the light bulb and replace with a 510 connector. Couldn't be any simpler, huh?

The radio was designed to operate on 3v (two AAA batts), but should operate just fine at 3.7 (one 10440 batt) .. these circuits are very forgiving .. they run on almost anything (2.4v from nicads), 3.0 from Alkaline batts, whatever.

Well, here is part 1. I will post more pics as I mod this device.
