cheapish 5v options?

[highping]

G... you are correct that 6V kills the flavor and is too hot, but I have yet to kill a 510 atty on 6V. I'm probably just lucky though.
As for the inline batt on the passthough, it has its advantages. You can unplug and run (nearly) all day on it. And it actually runs closer to 4-4.2V when charged so it's still a better hit than a stock batt.

I doubt it would raise the price that much. You can get 5v regulators from Texas Instruments for $2.70 each (gotta buy 50 at a time, though). With 3 small solder connections, it's good to go.

Or, if you're a cunning soul, you can log in to Texas Instruments and get a sample of 5 of them (part #UCC383TDKTTT-5G3) for free, and send one to Jeff to put in your Chuck.

If you get either an 801 or 901 connector, AltSmoke sells an adapter for a 510 atty (and I think there might be someone else somewhere who sells 801-901 adapters).

You can get batteries from BatteryJunction or (if you don't mind waiting) from DealExtreme in China. If you order batteries (and charger) from China around the same time you order your Chuck, you're likely to have them arrive around the same time (although there's no guarantee on the batteries).

Thank-you,Brachinnus,and also highping for helping me find more info on the little chuck. dirtybutt thought of something I would like to know,what about the battery charger? Can I also get that at dealextreme,or some place like that? And you are saying the little chuck comes with a connecter,so all I have to get is the atomizers and a battery charger?

I like the way the Chuck vapes its not harsh at all , the Prodigy has excellent flavor at 5V with resistor and definitely need the HV juice if running at 6V the SB has a good vape using the 18650 3000mah for a all day vaper and the GGT is a great flavor producer with any juice. Just a few observations I have noticed

You'll have to get batteries, a battery charger, and atomizers.

Dealextreme is a cheap place to get batteries, however they take forever to ship. I usually just buy at places like Battery Junction here in the US so I can get my battereies sooner. It's more expensive, but I am not a very patient person, and will not wait for three weeks to a month just to get some batteries.

Ladybug, get the chuck. You will not be disappointed.
Go check out the pics in the chuck thread for more design ideas.

Jeff has been doing some new stuff the last week or so that has not made it to his website yet. Check out post# 3484 to see what I'm talking about...

Just come up with any design you would like on it, and he will do it!

And you can get a good battery/charger combo from battery junction for not very much $.

I would also strongly recommend getting the chuck in the 510 version. This way you can get a couple adapters from Altsmoke and do 5 different atty models. (510, 801, 901, KR808, and Greencig cartomizers) See my pic of this on post #3847...
