I now highly recommend the use of a Mosfet. Please go to this link... • Unregulated box mod wi... Dual parallel 18650 unregulated box mod. See my comment below for the parts list...
Al USAF, want to thank you for giving me another try on a DIY kit I purchased. Almost threw it away with disappointment on my soldering job. It sucks. Your wire work is the cleanest I've seen. Purchasing another 510 connector and have another go at it with your style of wiring.....also OCD on any of my projects.
Yes yes,Some one who has the intelligence while making this box mod to share with us where to buy the blooming parts from and explains why he had built the device this way, Well firstly I congratulate you on these devices` the work looks tidy and simple to understand due to your diagram and how you had explain the method to your mod, My questions to you are could I use slightly thinner copper so it would be less drain on the batteries and could the copper be coated to stop it tarnishing,lastly has your solder lead free or with lead or some thing else, Thank you for showing this vid
I wouldn't go too thin with wires because it will affect the performance due to voltage loss. I would say maybe 16 gauge. You can coat the wires if you want but not sure what product to use for that. I don't use lead free solder because it's a little harder to work with, has a higher melting point. I specifically use 62/36/2 silver bearing solder.

Hello i am interested on buy one of your box mods preferably like the one inn the mosfet video. Would you mind sending me a price range to that if you do indeed sell them, thank you. -Winston Wyatt.
+Al USAF Hey sir, I have been watching all your videos and I honestly think I can build this. Now the switch you are using, can I use one that has an LED on it? Would the LED get fried with the voltage? Thanks in advance
+Rodrigo Torres Use a mosfet, know that the led will take a little power, so might drop some. I would be interested if you test the voltage to see if it affects it
i am building a box kinda like this one but it is a series 26650 and the button is on the back of the box and the 510 is centered.. it is super clean and very short wires..
I like the bare wire...really clean looking, this will be my first attempt at making a box..I would really like to have a mosfet...but I'm wondering if I could keep it that clean with a mosfet..I can't wait to see your revision
I also have been in communication with a few techs that provide mosfets, I'll post the mosfet I'm looking at in a few. basically these are automotive mosfets, used to protect micro controllers that operate headlights. rated for 60 volts and 30 amps. now, I been planning as posted yesterday, to build a series mod using two 26650 high amp draw rated batteries. I do not plan to see this box exceed 60 amps. I figure that's the spot I'll set my safties for. that's the amp draws my batteries can safely handle, so I figured my plans around this.my question to the tech was in regards to running parellel mosfets, to obtain that 60 amp safety. he replied that it makes sense but warned that the input current needs to be high enough to trip both mosfets. they would be in parallel by the way, leg for leg, only one resistor is needed. it wires just like a single, just stack the mosfets, solder leg to matching leg. resistor goes on the top mosfet only. now, what I am asking you guys is what is the current that is applied to the mosfets?
Thank you SO much for this tutorial @AI USAF ! You have simplified SO much for me and have already purchased most of my parts :D I am having much trouble finding that resistor anywhere in stock and wonder if you could recommend any other as I am not savvy enough to be able to identify ones that should work? Again, thank you!
actually I'll note that there are switches rated for 60 amps, 6 to 12 volts but I had to really think outside the box to find it. what I looked for was an automotive momentary starter switch.
Hey you should check out the Keystone new part# 1109. Holds (2) of the 26650 cell. More power, bigger clouds.... They also are using a new Contact, which is Vapor friendly.
Really great vids man, helped me a lot compared to other vids for trying to build my own box. With the bare copper have you had any grounding issues? I'm completely new to building and I'd rather not shock myself lol
Also do you have a preference for solid instead of stranded wire, because I am worried about movement over time causing loss of contact or snapping the wire.
First off, your mod builds are SO clean! I love them, I have all of the supplies needed to folow your tutorials, but I had one question. When you secured the battery sled, do you have to use JB weld? Do you think a two part epoxy would work just as well? Thanks!
I used JB Weld but a two part epoxy should work too. I suggest you clean the surface of the box and sand the bottom of the sled before you apply the epoxy.
What kind of mosfit should i use? I'm loocking at 3 options: 1. www.modmaker.co.uk/Mod-Making-Supplies/components/N-Channel-Mosfet-110A-20V 2. www.modmaker.co.uk/Mod-Making-Supplies/components/N-Channel-Mosfet-195A-40V 3. www.modmaker.co.uk/Mod-Making-Supplies/components/N-Channel-Mosfet-92A-30V- Still learning.. Keep up the videos! :)
however I have not yet used one, I plan to only because I wish to use a duel series mod for 8.4 volts. and I know from past attempts that when I go for 8.4 volt, things get rowdy.... so please if possible investigate these starter switches and if it can be verified as a safe high amp switch then let me know. also I'll note that you stated 3 amps at like what, 120 volts? at a lower voltage that amp rating will exponentially go up. how much I don't know. but I'd guess it's a min of 30 amp at vapeing voltage.
+AL USAF. If I use a 510 ego connector, where would I connect the wire for the negative? Ok and I was just wondering if the atlantis could handle a dual. And thanks for responding!
I have two questions. Do you have to use a fat daddy vapes 510 connector or can I use a 510 connector off a ego. Also one more question, can I use a aspire atlantis with this setup? Or should I make a single or do something else with the dual. Thanks
I was wondering if I could eliminate that concern of the copper wire grounding to the box by using a polycarbonate box correct and making sure none of the tubing was touching?
For the grub screw without cutting them yourself you can go to Ace Hardware and pick up some black steel 10/32 slotted grub screws, 15 cents each. Don't get the stainless hex key ones as the magnets wont stick to stainless steel. Make sure they are steel and not stainless or you will have to make 2 trips. monsterfastener.com/item/hss-106?gclid=CMvZwIat8cECFY9afgoduIcAlA Also for the 14 AWG wire you can strip it out of an old piece of 14-2 romex house wire for free.
You used 3amps Switch button. What is the reason? Does the 3amps on switch button means that if you need 10amps on your coil, then amps that can through your switch only 3amps. Will it shut your switch? Thanks before and sorry for my bad english.
Depending on your build, the full amperage will still go through the switch. Why a 3 amp switch? Because there is not a switch out there, at least for the size and design of this type of switch, that is rated more than 5 amps. The only way to eliminate this limiting factor is to use a Mosfet.
Thanks I just drew out my own diagram with your directions thanks again. Also one more question. Is it going to matter if on the sled I have is 2 positives on top and 2 negatives in the bottom. Or would I have to look for a sled that has one negative and positive on top and a positive and negative in the bottom. Thanks again.
No problem. All references will be looking at the front side of the battery sled and no Mosfet used. Left top contact will be your negative and left bottom contact will be positive. Right bottom contact will be negative and right top contact will be positive. You need to connect both bottom contacts together (negative and positive) by soldering a piece of wire. Then solder one end of wire to the top left contact (negative) and solder the other end of the wire to the 510 negative. Solder one end of the wire to the top right (positive) and connect or solder the other end of the wire to one of the switch post. Connect or solder a wire from the other switch post and solder the other end of the wire to the 510 positive pin. Hope this helps.
Pare, MOSFET will add switch protection as well as lower your voltage drop. :) I see you ordered your parts already. Let me know what you think after installing the Mosfet. :)
Al, I love your boxes,and would really like to work something out with you. I made some killer Extreme Bore top cap drip tips for that purdy Plume Veil too,how can I try to touch base with you ?
No, as long as there is no direct connection between the positive and negative. Think about a tube mech mod, the tube is the negative. In my box though, the only part that is touching the box is the 510 Brass negative washer.
Al USAF so after a second look at the video none of the bare wire is touching the box correct? But in the video of the wooden box mod the wire is touching the box. Correct?
I'm not sure what you mean by continuous. But if you want to build either a parallel or series 26650 box mod, the box you'll need is the Hammond 1590B, any 3 amp push button switch (highly recommend using a Mosfet, check out my latest vid for this) and go to vape3d.com for a dual 26650 battery sled (pretty cheap but with a long lead time). Hope this helps.
Al USAF thank you! I dunno what continuous means either thought it was some fancy word I've heard It before and wasn't sure. But I did find both the box, as well as the sled and I'm happy you said vape 3d cause that's where I found the sled. And I found the chip on ebay. Thank you so much!!
+Cory Glass fatdaddyvapes.com probably don't carry the V2s anymore since they have newer versions. Check out varitube.com for 510s also (I prefer their 510s).
Brian Walsh II no as far as how I did it. No too for your second question. Not sure if you know this, but on a mech mod, the tube itself is the negative.
hey, thanks for the videos.. i was wondering about the 14g wire i seem to find a lot of wire that is saying "dead soft" i am unclear as to what that means, or if that matters.
ok cool, i will be attempting this same build when i get all my stuff from E-bay lol. Maybe around the 16th-17th i should have it all. i have 3 of everything coming because i dont think ill get it right the first time or two. thanks again.
Declan A i can't really give you an answer for that because I haven't tried to make one. But I would suggest to stick with 2 batteries, either 18650s or 26650s. You can buy a 26650 battery sled from Vape3D but it will be a while for your order to arrive because of the demand.
Al USAF on your video with a mosfet. where should I add a on/off switch. i already ordered most of the parts. except for the 14 gauge wire. Which i am going to buy locally.
How low(ohms) have you ran this style of box that you are building? I would like to build my first box here soon.Because I normally run my tubes between 0.07-0.10.
The IRLB3034 is rated at 195 amps. So you'll be limited to the battery you use when it comes to max amperage. S always, when building extremely low resistance, Vape at your own risk.
I did say plume veil...it's actually my Veritas. The drip tip I was using is a friction fit drip tip from SynerVape. Check out my channel for the review I did on it.
Freddie Morales they probably don't offer it anymore since they have the new versions. You can either get the V3 or V4. Basically you need to order the main 510 connector and if you want, you can also order the 22mm washer too. Order the regular length if you're going to use it on a Hammond box, but if you're going to use it on a wood box mod then order the longer version.
Based on my experience of using an unregulated box mod with a 3 amp switch for more than 3 months now, the use of Mosfet is not necessary. Again, I'm doing this at my own risk. In addition, I don't really vape with super sub ohm builds other than for testing. I consider anything below 0.2 as super sub ohm...this is just me. My ADV build is usually between 0.3 and 0.4. Lastly, all unregulated box mods that are sold out there (ones that doesn't use Mosfets) use non-rated switches. I haven't seen a reported case where a switch failed because it's non-rated. The only thing I don't like is when a modder state the switch in use is rated at 60 amps. Which is ridiculous, because no switch manufacturer makes an anti-vandal switch with that rating. Check out Mods Unlimited and you'll laugh at this modder is stating, such as zero voltage drop and 60 amp switch...what a person would do just to get some buyers. Again, I'd rather state the actual parts used and let everyone know to use the product at their own risk. Lastly, if you don't feel comfortable using a mod with a non-rated switch, then use a Mosfet.
i got my switch from maplin its says its 16 amp if this helps any 1 out have a look hea is the link to the page www.maplin.co.uk/p/large-red-push-button-rk82d hope it helps

You're welcome. Good luck on your build.
Love the videos man, they helped me build my first box mod. I like how you take your time with everything to show exactly how everything works
Brandon Beattie thanks Brandon...my goal is to help my fellow vapors out there.
Ask and you shall receive, nice!!! Thank you and you seem to make this look simple I am gonna give this a go, wish me luck
Good luck on your build!
Need more screaming children in the background.. .I love it!!!

Love your channel man. Awesome videos. I like the glasses too. I've got the same pair lol.
Thanks! It's free :-)

Loved your BS call out HAHAH!
What do you think about putting heat shrink or some other wrap on the copper wires? Give it a little bit cleaner appearance.
You can if you want to
Ok cool I just wasn't sure about heat levels or anything like that.
you can just file the part of the lid so its sits flush with your switch
Sometimes we can't figure out the simple stuff. Thanks for the tip, I did this on the new 1590G box mod I built.
however I have not yet used one, I plan to only because I wish to use a duel series mod for 8.4 volts. and I know from past attempts that when I go for 8.4 volt, things get rowdy.... so please if possible investigate these starter switches and if it can be verified as a safe high amp switch then let me know. also I'll note that you stated 3 amps at like what, 120 volts? at a lower voltage that amp rating will exponentially go up. how much I don't know. but I'd guess it's a min of 30 amp at vapeing voltage.
Awesome thank you so much 👍
Did you strip the shielding off the copper wire to expose it or was it bought that way?
***** I did strip the shielding off
+AL USAF. If I use a 510 ego connector, where would I connect the wire for the negative? Ok and I was just wondering if the atlantis could handle a dual. And thanks for responding!
You will need to solder the negative to the body of the 510. If you're talking about dual 18650 in parallel then yes.
Oh ok so just anywhere beside the whole where you put the positive.
I have two questions. Do you have to use a fat daddy vapes 510 connector or can I use a 510 connector off a ego. Also one more question, can I use a aspire atlantis with this setup? Or should I make a single or do something else with the dual. Thanks
Anthony Swank you can use any 510 but the fatdaddyvapes is better. Yes you can use the Atlantis because it has a subohm build.
your videos are so much helpful thank you so much
and go air force lol
I was wondering if I could eliminate that concern of the copper wire grounding to the box by using a polycarbonate box correct and making sure none of the tubing was touching?
Correct
Alright and is the flux paste needed if I use flux core solder?
Jason White not necessary but I highly recommend you use it.
Okay thank you for your time
For the grub screw without cutting them yourself you can go to Ace Hardware and pick up some black steel 10/32 slotted grub screws, 15 cents each. Don't get the stainless hex key ones as the magnets wont stick to stainless steel. Make sure they are steel and not stainless or you will have to make 2 trips. monsterfastener.com/item/hss-106?gclid=CMvZwIat8cECFY9afgoduIcAlA
Also for the 14 AWG wire you can strip it out of an old piece of 14-2 romex house wire for free.
Thanks for the grub screw recommendation. I don't have any old piece of Romex wire laying around in the house.
What exactly is that 510 connector at FatDaddyVapes?
Like ur videos
great but where is the parts list ?
You used 3amps Switch button. What is the reason? Does the 3amps on switch button means that if you need 10amps on your coil, then amps that can through your switch only 3amps. Will it shut your switch? Thanks before and sorry for my bad english.

Or would I have to look for a sled that has one negative and positive on top and a positive and negative in the bottom. Thanks again.
The markings does not matter as long as you wire it as I stated. Then always remember to install the batteries to match the wiring.
I have silver solder do I need flux paist
howzeet Al! Noticed you have USAF in your nam. You wouldn't happen to be stationed out here in Vegas ah?
Neekz V used to be
What copper wire did you use man?
Maybe do an add on video with a mosfet?
I just ordered the parts today. I will post an add-on video as soon as I receive them.
Quick question: does the 1590bbk box have tapered sides from factory, ie. the Hammond box lean? Did you have to sand the sides to be perpendicular?
Yes it does. Yes you can.
i can not find all this stuff on your comments whats where can i get this all?
Do you sodder the negtaive to the 510 connection
I can't seem to find 14g copper wire locally. Can i use 16 safely? Also how did u straighten ur wire?
Yes you can but in exchange for a little bit more voltage drop. I used flat smooth nose pliers to straighten the wires.
Did they have to special order the wire for you cuz the 5 stores I went to don't stock it
Ta'Rhettz Ruff-Ryder no. Got mine from Lowes.
Hey there by any chance do you think you can help me out I'm looking to build a dual 26650 series box mod. But as far as wire
Goes I'm lost.
No problem. All references will be looking at the front side of the battery sled and no Mosfet used. Left top contact will be your negative and left bottom contact will be positive. Right bottom contact will be negative and right top contact will be positive. You need to connect both bottom contacts together (negative and positive) by soldering a piece of wire. Then solder one end of wire to the top left contact (negative) and solder the other end of the wire to the 510 negative. Solder one end of the wire to the top right (positive) and connect or solder the other end of the wire to one of the switch post. Connect or solder a wire from the other switch post and solder the other end of the wire to the 510 positive pin. Hope this helps.
Is there any real reason to remove the shielding on the wire other than aesthetics?
RB Newell purely for looks.
dude what is the size of the box ( Sample 10*10*10 )
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hello the copper rod that you used for the contacts that thickness has?
how can I get the solder to sick mine just keeps breaking off
Use Flux paste when soldering. It will clean the joints for a better bond.
Pare, MOSFET will add switch protection as well as lower your voltage drop. :) I see you ordered your parts already. Let me know what you think after installing the Mosfet. :)
Will do. I'll do a video on the installation too.
MOSFET build you can go as small as 24g to the switch to help make things easy and tidy on both Parallel and Series builds. I use Cat5 on mine.
Good afternoon, I can use the mosfet transistor fda70n20 70 amperes and 200v? If you have any other model can give me?
Wellinton Pollis I can only recommend the IRLB3034PBF mosfet.
Thanks
Al, I love your boxes,and would really like to work something out with you. I made some killer Extreme Bore top cap drip tips for that purdy Plume Veil too,how can I try to touch base with you ?
TH-cam messages
DigiKey has rated DC switches.
will a box with no mosfet last
Al quick question. Is there any danger in using the copper wire bare like that?
No, as long as there is no direct connection between the positive and negative. Think about a tube mech mod, the tube is the negative. In my box though, the only part that is touching the box is the 510 Brass negative washer.
Al USAF so after a second look at the video none of the bare wire is touching the box correct? But in the video of the wooden box mod the wire is touching the box. Correct?
Daniel Guerrero Yes to both.
I wanna make a dual continuous 26650 box....what switch and box and sled will I need??
I'm not sure what you mean by continuous. But if you want to build either a parallel or series 26650 box mod, the box you'll need is the Hammond 1590B, any 3 amp push button switch (highly recommend using a Mosfet, check out my latest vid for this) and go to vape3d.com for a dual 26650 battery sled (pretty cheap but with a long lead time). Hope this helps.
Al USAF thank you! I dunno what continuous means either thought it was some fancy word I've heard It before and wasn't sure. But I did find both the box, as well as the sled and I'm happy you said vape 3d cause that's where I found the sled. And I found the chip on ebay. Thank you so much!!
Which version of the 510 connector did you use in this video? And did you ever give the box mod away?:P
+Cory Glass fatdaddyvapes v2 and yes I did
Can you post a link to the v2. I can't find it
+Cory Glass fatdaddyvapes.com probably don't carry the V2s anymore since they have newer versions. Check out varitube.com for 510s also (I prefer their 510s).
sir were can i buy switch that you are using... im from philippines
Would you recommend not using a 2 amp switch for this same build?
Same switch, just 2A
Kyle Noyes you can use any pushbutton or tactile switch as long as you use a mosfet...i highly recommend that you use one.
Did you build this mod without a mosfet? I need a diagram for how to wire a box without a mosfet
Dax J at first I did. But check out my mosfet box mod build. video...you'll see the diagram on that vid also.
do you run into the risk of causing shorts by removing the shielding from your wiring? what about being shocked?
Brian Walsh II no as far as how I did it. No too for your second question. Not sure if you know this, but on a mech mod, the tube itself is the negative.
How would you wire in an led switch?
hey, thanks for the videos.. i was wondering about the 14g wire i seem to find a lot of wire that is saying "dead soft" i am unclear as to what that means, or if that matters.
Just Google it. You'll find out its not something you have to worry about.
ok cool, i will be attempting this same build when i get all my stuff from E-bay lol. Maybe around the 16th-17th i should have it all. i have 3 of everything coming because i dont think ill get it right the first time or two. thanks again.
kinda figured
what kinda box should i use if i want to do 3 batteries in parallel??? thanks!
You can use this same box, Hammond 1590B, but you have to make your own battery contacts or sled.
how do i make the sled?? or what should i use for the contacts??
Declan A i can't really give you an answer for that because I haven't tried to make one. But I would suggest to stick with 2 batteries, either 18650s or 26650s. You can buy a 26650 battery sled from Vape3D but it will be a while for your order to arrive because of the demand.
What size box would I use for doing a dual 26650
I'm not sure because I haven't done a 26650 box mod. Sorry I couldn't help you out.
Just found out that you can also use a 1590B.
Hey can i made a box mod without a mosfet
Wassup al. When I go to mouser.com and try to check out the Hammond box but they ask for alot of measure. Witch one do I pick up?
For this build I used the 1590B, specifically the 1590BBK (powder coated black)
Al USAF what type of soldering iron do you use? I wanted to go get a kit but there different watt soldering irons. Which one should i get?
Jason Tran mine is about 9 yes old but it's an adjustable one. I would get at least an adjustable because solders have different melting points.
Al USAF cool thanks bro.
I'm trying to design my own mod and I have a few questions. Any way to message you other than youtube?
Email me at Alusafvapes@gmail.com
Im too lazy to search but whats the lowest ohm can i run on a dripper here. Also on a kayfun and such. lol.. thanks in advance!
The lowest build I've tried is 0.12
Actually watched your video with a mosfet. I think I'll just go with that. thanks for replying!
Al USAF on your video with a mosfet. where should I add a on/off switch. i already ordered most of the parts. except for the 14 gauge wire. Which i am going to buy locally.
timothy garcia either before or after the firing switch.
Al USAF ok thanks. figured it out. last question. Can i put electrical tape on the copper wires for safety?
where do you get the 510 connector from?
Sir any substitute for MOSFET
what was the total time it took to make this mod? from drilling to firing
Less than 1 hr
what is the total cost?
im looking into making one for myself
hiii , is it posible to build a single battery box ???
How low(ohms) have you ran this style of box that you are building? I would like to build my first box here soon.Because I normally run my tubes between 0.07-0.10.
0.10 with no issues.
Al USAF If a mosfet was added, then how low do you believe I would be able to run it?
The IRLB3034 is rated at 195 amps. So you'll be limited to the battery you use when it comes to max amperage. S always, when building extremely low resistance, Vape at your own risk.
Al USAF awesome, thanks!
Nice, what size mm is your switch?
16 mm
Al USAF Awesome thanks!
What drip tip are you using on the Plume Veil?
I did say plume veil...it's actually my Veritas. The drip tip I was using is a friction fit drip tip from SynerVape. Check out my channel for the review I did on it.
Can I use à 2 amp button?
can you give me more detail on what kind of 510 you bought from fatdaddyvapes please. thank you!
I bought the V2 with the 22mm washer.
i dont see it on there website, is there another alternate i can use?
Freddie Morales they probably don't offer it anymore since they have the new versions. You can either get the V3 or V4. Basically you need to order the main 510 connector and if you want, you can also order the 22mm washer too. Order the regular length if you're going to use it on a Hammond box, but if you're going to use it on a wood box mod then order the longer version.
okay, thankyou very much!
keep up the great builds!
You don't need a fuse? for a build like this?
Walter N not necessary but you can install a fuse if you want to.
AI USAF what batteries do you recommend?
Robert Walters right now I use either the Samsung 25Rs or the LG HE4s. Both are good and have similar specs.
what model soldering iron are you using?
Weller WESD51...pretty old.
what kinda battrries
Do you build box mods for people?
Robert Walden negative...box mod giveaway coming soon.
hey...just saw your video....are u still giving away your mods?
I did exactly as you did, and it doesnt work
Why don't you use a mosfet in your builds?
Based on my experience of using an unregulated box mod with a 3 amp switch for more than 3 months now, the use of Mosfet is not necessary. Again, I'm doing this at my own risk. In addition, I don't really vape with super sub ohm builds other than for testing. I consider anything below 0.2 as super sub ohm...this is just me. My ADV build is usually between 0.3 and 0.4. Lastly, all unregulated box mods that are sold out there (ones that doesn't use Mosfets) use non-rated switches. I haven't seen a reported case where a switch failed because it's non-rated. The only thing I don't like is when a modder state the switch in use is rated at 60 amps. Which is ridiculous, because no switch manufacturer makes an anti-vandal switch with that rating. Check out Mods Unlimited and you'll laugh at this modder is stating, such as zero voltage drop and 60 amp switch...what a person would do just to get some buyers. Again, I'd rather state the actual parts used and let everyone know to use the product at their own risk. Lastly, if you don't feel comfortable using a mod with a non-rated switch, then use a Mosfet.
I just ordered a Mosfet and resistor. I'll install it before I give this box mod away.
Where can i get the mosfet?
Muhamad Hakiem eBay or just search for the IRLB3034PBF mosfet online.
alright thanks :D
Dude why not just dremel off that part of the lip and make it center...
Are you Air Force @Al USAF?
+Caleb Braun yes
I'm Army.
i got my switch from maplin its says its 16 amp if this helps any 1 out have a look hea is the link to the page www.maplin.co.uk/p/large-red-push-button-rk82d hope it helps
