I've had a flashlight that a buddy of mine modded into a passthru, and it worked for a while. I've tried to repair it, but I still can't figure out what's wrong. In any case, I had it so that I could spare the PVs I have that use batteries while I'm at my desk. I am also considering one for the car, but the desk is where I am most of the time. So, I want to get this some day and mod it into a PT. I could just remove the lamp's head and change out the button for a momentary switch. Preferably a larger button for quick access. I could then just plug it into my USB to AC/DC adapter and keep the lamp PT on my desk for me to use at my leisure.

looking at it, it should be easy to do. first i would start by removing the head, that is of course if you dont want a large drip cup. Second to put a momentary switch in the housing and that would be simple to do, mpja has cheap large ones, and third i would vape the hell out of it... or you could put a connector in the top behind the led assembly and make a stealth vaping machine..

I just want a 510 atomizer connection on the end of the neck, to be honest. I think it'd be awesome!

The thought of that lamp modded into an awesome personal hookah PV/desk toy made me giggle. You have to do it.

Quasi see harbor freight search for: brass aladdin lamp, begs for USB or parallel 26650s. And a couple of tank mod "heads" at the end of some electrical "hoses".

I think a hookah PV would be awesome! Plug it into the outlet, and have each tube be like a soft but super long gooseneck. Screw in the atomizers/cartomizers into the ends and add your favorite drip tip! That might sell. lol Especially if each tube could be independently VV.

EGADS! Now you've gone and stepped in it. Steam's a horn dog, he's going to be all over you now. Just, whatever you do, don't go to the "FORUM TOOLS" section of the sidebar, click on "Edit Avatar", then copy/paste the web address for any of the images attached to this post! If you do accidentally find yourself in that situation, whatever you do, don't click on "Save Changes"...
