My newest Mod - Kinda sorta inspired by the Jantystick

[bri1270]

Thanks Nico, so I could do a 2 x size AA battery holder and use only one of this type of battery. Or I can use 3 x AAA battery holder and use 1.2V AA batteries like the Juicebox mod.

I've also got the 3.6V 'AAA' Size battery for the E-cigar. I was thinking of making a small unit using the Rat Shack AAA x 2 battery holder. It sure looks an aweful lot like the battery case for the newer David Yang USB Passthroughs.

How is the shipping from Deal Extreme?

If you scrape away some of the divider in a 2 AA holder, and re-locate the connector for the negative end you can squeeze in 2 CR2s and get 6+ volts of power and massive vapour

Won't that cause premature failure of the atomizer?

The 6V seems to work fine for many modders here. No early ATM failures reported yet-I am 1 month on same atm-heavy use. Only put down when it gets really hot.

ATM failures seem to be random to me and not related to 6V. I also use 5V usb and wall plug-in devices.

The SD-which continues to get great reviews uses 6V.

Yes, Bri, you got the idea about the batteries correct. The size difference between 10440 (AAA size lithium) and 14500 (AA size lithium) will mean a difference in run time between charges, but vapor production and throat hit should be pretty much equal.

It took about 2 weeks total, from placing order to receiving, to get my batteries and chargers from Deal Extreme. Order Tracking only worked until shipment left China.

The SD actually uses one CR3, so it's 3.6 or 3.7V. It's madog's magnum and its descendants that are 6V.

Only if you let the atomizer get too hot and/or dry. And don't "preheat" the atomizer like with a manual switch e-cig, or 3.7 volt mod, just press and inhale.

When I tried 6v on 901, the vapour was too harsh for my taste. The room also smelled like something burning there afterwards.

Frankie,
I also got that harsh taste with 6V and 901, until I starting dripping more and making sure that the ATM was always good and wet, plus I also added more VG to my eliquid.

Hope this helps
