Sx350 - 510 Connectors, Ohm Readings And Other Stuff Needed?
- Thread starter Chef Guest
- Start date
I'm going to try that later today. Wish me luck!when you hard-up you will do anything I presume
stealthvape in the uk do a connectorI mean, can't I just buy a prewired 510 connector from ebay or HC or something and just wire that to the pcb?
Making my own was never really part of the plan, although I wouldn't mind trying!
OCD 510 connector
fatdaddyvapes in the usa do a connector
(dont have a link..its a bad site where you have to scroll for days to find the products, but it is there, although most likely out of stock)
That is the link I posted. They reckon stock of the 510 connector should be in around the 15th
Could I just use a std 510 connector as opposed to the one for the box mod?
Yes rip one out of an old unit
thing is, how long will that then take to arrive? Stealthvape looks good but Pound/Rand exchange rate...
@johan - do you think a precision engineer would be able to put a hole in this connector ? I'd much rather prefer to buy a ready made connecter, than trying my hand a tapping my own. And this one looks good
??
If you mean hole in the centre pin, yes. But in SA it will cost you most probably more than buying one with a hole already (if you want I can give you one of my Reo spares's centre pin with a hole).
@Chef Guest - Thats the one from Stealh Vapes. My parents are currently visiting my brother in the UK. I'm thinking of one of those, then getting them to bring it through - should be back by the 17th. But at 8 Pounds thats pretty steep.
@soonkia - Where's that from? It looks like something i could get my head around...
Stealthvape. Duuuuuuuhhhhhhh!!!
Hmmm. My old man goes there a lot and I normally get stuff delivered to his flat. It's just the damned exchange rate that kills me. But considering how much I've already spent on my new addiction, what's another few hundred bucks?
As far as enclosure go, the 1590B from Hammond is the one that most people prefer overseas. You can get it from Communica for R109, and yes, they do have stock.

This is awesome. I've been looking at the website, and was wondering if the normal AA size battery holder will be big enough for a 18650 battery? What do you guys think?
No it will not be 18650 is 18mm in diameter by 65mm long
Anywhere i could get one of those locally?
@Chef Guest for 18650 battery holders you can source here:

Thanks for the offer Johan, but it looks like I'll have to end up buying a Reo sub ohm kit. Didn't think find high amp springs are going to be that difficult - and the sub ohm kit basically has everything in it that I'm looking for.
Knowledgeable I doubt myself of late, yes you can do your own battery holder; spring (for negative) you can salvage from old torch and some brass shim stock for positive side and some plastic insulation material (Maizies Plastics).
The SX350 chip comes pre-wired with a positive and negative power wire. I saw one guy soldered those wires directly onto the battery poles. I would not recommend you do that - that's crazy - and could have some real nasty consequences.
But at the end, you just need some way for the battery to sit in your mod, without moving around. People tend to just build a small housing directly onto the box they're building into.
For now my plan is just to buy the Aluminum box and then braze some divisions into an aluminum box - something that's tight fitting for the battery. Also, just going to use a cheap ego 510 connection for now and a old flashlight spring. Won't be sub-ohming this one or pushing it to 30Watts - will probably melt the spring if I'm seding 10Amps of current through it.
My bigger project will be building a mod from wood (Still looking for wood), with a Reo sub-ohm kit and bottom feeding capabilities.
I have one or two of the old Reo hot springs (before the gold plated ones) around if that could help.
