Making an 18650 Personal Vaporizer Box Mod Part 1 Schematic and How it Works

Before showing the making of my 18650 Box Mod, I cover the schematic and how the personal vaporizer works. I also show the AwesomeVapor Ego, a great PV that I bought from awesomevapor.com -- great folks, excellent service, I highly recommend them, and their Ego.

All the parts used in my mod came from:
Radio Shack - the box, pushbutton, and battery holder (that I cut up for piece parts) - I could have gotten these from madvapes but happened to stop by my local Radio Shack for the fun of it.
madvapes.com - the LED, resistor, battery-atomizer connector
batteryjunction.com - They have a $30 deal on 2 protected 2400maH 18650 batteries and charger. Wow!
Target - Hot glue
Harbor Freight - JB stick Epoxy putty

Be extremely careful working with lithium ion batteries. ALWAYS use a PROTECTED Lithium Ion battery so that it will not overcharge or under-volt because they will explode and burn. Recharge these batteries outside on concrete under constant supervision in case they explode and burn while recharging. Unplug the charger and remove the battery(ies) as soon as charging is complete.

Please do NOT attempt to make a pv e-cig mod unless you are an experienced electronic technician or a well-seasoned electrical-mechanical engineer. Each solder connection is critical, make it mechanical and then solder. Always remember, exploding lithium ion batteries can burn down your house and/or kill you and the ones you love!!!

@steeljan Your DIY box mod video is the most concise, educational, safest vid on the net. Thanks for posting, keep up the great work and thank you for inspiring me to build a box mod. I got all my parts at the Shack last night and am chomping at the bit to get started. If it's okay with you, I'd like to ask you questions during my build. Please let me know if you're alright with that. Being a career welder, I'm good with soldering but I'm not as knowledgeable when it comes to electronics.

@Damagecase55 Thanks. Sure, you can ask me anything. I'm not on my computer everyday, but I'll get back with you asap. Remember to use only protected batteries. Or, you could build a puck mod that uses nimh, you might want to check out puckecigs dotcom for details on that and then see my puck mod video too. Cheers!

Reminds me of my HVAC classes. I will admit I miss school. Just too bad I couldn't go back and do it again.

Oh, what I 'd give for you as a neighbor...and I don't like neighbors!!! Jan...you are the Queen of the chaulk board...Thank you for your knowledge and for instructiong us laymans(I'm only speaking for myself)See you in the Vapehaze girl.

@Sirkut0011 He's probably not scared of the voltage, you're right, it's extremely low. He's probably scared of the huge current load and risking the battery exploding if the protection circuitry fails to work properly if there's any sort of short-circuit in his mod.

[Sirkut0011]

@pudding247 There's nothing to be afraid of. This is the lowest voltage. It hardly even gets warm.
