This is my first mod, I used the Mosfet wiring thread as a guide and tweaked it for the switch I used. Standard 3034 Mosfet, e-switch pv6 white LED, Fat Daddy 510 v4, Keystone sled wired parallel, custom dipped paint.

Thank you! It's the Borax swirl method, I used enamel paints and then 5 coats of enamel clear.
Mod is vented, two 1/16th holes drilled on bottom and a 1 mm hole hidden behind the switch flange for a slightly better airflow to keep things from getting too toasty inside.

Great Job! My first Mod was a wonderland of parts. Built it. Cost $4. more than I could get one made. But it's mine.

Down to the finals now. Radio Shack has been constant, but The New Thing, parts the average person can afford is going to kick their ass Tom. China is showing a marvelous amount of products. Does it matter if it's a clone? I don't care. China has a milk cow, we have needs. It's a win, win.

Thank you! Y'all made this too easy with the mosfet wiring thread and all the work y'all did in there. That thread helped me the most with this project

Gonna do a green skull hydrodip box maybe this week, or next week for sure.

Like a beast! Gives my Smok M50 a serious run for the money, and I was really enjoying it until I finished this mod. I've got another one slated to start sometime next week...drawing a blank right now on what I want to do paint wise, but I'll figure that a bit later.

Now rip off that parka on the mosfet that is trapping all the heat inside of it.

Have to agree. Cover your soldered joints only. Leave the mosfet to shake her girls in the air

Did a little bit of digging, and this is from the gentleman that originally did this diagram to go along with his boxes. Not to be an asshat, but do check his recommendation for how much parka to have on your mosfets in his final assembly paragraph...

He also advised using cardboard, electrical tape and a bunch of epoxy.
