Turn NES controller into a Vape mod.

bassslapme
bassslapme over 9 years ago

Hey guys, been lurking on the site for ages now, I watched the Ben Heck show around 2 years ago and decided to take the site a look see and boom I was hooked. Anyhow, I have quit smoking and have taken up vaping as its a less deadly habit. I have an idea to turn my Kangertech Subox mini into a NES controller mod which would look cool. I want the start and select to be taken off and i would use a rotary tool to grind down the plastic so the screen can go there showing me the wattage. I only have one problem, and that is making the A and/or B button fire it and the directional buttons (up and down) change the wattage. I have an idea of finding the tracks to the buttons and wiring the nes controller buttons to it but I would need to buy some buttons that work as the NES ones wouldnt (tact switches most likely would work). Only problem is it looks like it already has super tiny tact buttons soldered on. If i do de-solder the tact buttons, solder a wire to the connects and then solder the other end of the wire to the new buttons would their be any other problem?
