Charging a mod wirelessly.

[Faiyaz Cheulkar]

Ordered a couple of wireless charging modules, the idea was to use it with my phone. Unfortunately the module charges almost any phone except my phone. So thought of sticking it to my mod and see if it works and guess what it does !!


I am soon planning to open up the mod and see if I can fix it to the side of the mod.
Before anyone says this, I know it's easier to charge the batteries in an external charger etc etc, I just want to have some fun and if I am successful I will be the proud owner of the first wirelessly charging mod or am I wrong there is already one existing ?.
Anyway I am soon going to try this. Lets see how it goes.

I see it's the base, so the mod is wireless too because it doesn't mention it in the description of the mod. Anyway I will still try to get my mod go wireless.

Anyone has experience with wires that are thin as hair ? Never soldered wires so thin.

Yes the Vapordna shark was quite a state of the art mod in it's day, never owned one myself and the first as far as I could remember with wireless charging capabilities. Don't see much of them around on the forum anymore though. Still like you're concept and keep playing, keen on seeing the outcome of your experiment.

Sounds like an awesome idea, my only question would be what would wireless charging do to the life/ longevity of the batteries?

Shouldn't make a difference because it's just another way of delivering current to the battery. Besides the wireless modules deliver a current of 1amp to the charging circuit of the mod and not directly to the battery.

Ah i see, so shouldn't be any different to plugging in a normal USB charger.

Did you get the modules locally?
