Mod OG Vapor Flask to Mech?

That sounds like it probably won't work but plenty of more knowledge people on here that can tell you if it will work. Maybe @f1r3b1rd can help.

I really don't know... Havent seen one taken to bits to know if there is space in there.
I would think selling it and buying a new parallel or series box would be more advantageous financially

Thats a bummer. I was hoping to rip out/modify the scaffolding and find a way to wire a mosfet in there where the chip was. Maybe I'll practice on an old Sig 150 and get my modding chops up to snuff before destroying my too-expensive paper weight.
Any thoughts on doing this to a sig 150?

Just buy a mech. There are 1000 of them for less than $30... but I really don't think a mech will help. Imo if you can't get satisfaction at 40 watts regulated. I don't think you will find it unregulated. Sure you can build lower and get more wattage. But it will be unregulated.. so that wattage will always be on a downward trajectory. I think to get satisfaction your going to need a more powerful regulated mod.

Yeah I got scores of 'em and use them as my @home mod. I only just started using regulated mods regularly in the past year or so. There's something special to me about mech mod experience. I just just love the feel of the VF and I'd like to maximize my enjoyment with it. The more I think about it though I think the switch would be hard because I think it's just a cap that presses the button on the board. Such a bummer. Maybe I'll just give it away and take satisfaction from that.

It should be possible... My suggestion would be to find a schematic for a tactical switch triggered p-channel mosfet switch circuit on one of the modders groups. Due to the way the vaporflask is constructed an n-channel circuit can't be used. Use the same size tactical switch as installed on the DNA circuit board installed in the same location on a perforated circuit board blank that you cut to the same size as the DNA. Unsolder the DNA, then install the new board that you made. As long as a suitable mosfet is used it should work adequately. Keep in mind that mosfets are easy to damage with even the slightest exposure to static electricity and you will need to take reasonable care to prevent exposure during handling.

Thanks so much. You're the second to recommend the p-channel mosfet. Wouldnt it be possible to just use the existing switch wired to the mosfet? I dont know yet how to go about handling having the body being the negative (or pos as I've heard as well) and wiring it correctly but the first step i guess is to know if it's conceptually possible.
