becarfull ( i didnt test the volts at the switch ) the flashlight was 3v but that is not a momatairy switch so uoi might want to add a led to know when it is on or off or you would burn a few attys
best 5v mini usb pass through

o.k. it was late and i'm dumb
-lol
so I wired it back up to the atty connector this morn and it stays on-doesn't matter if i push the button or not-tried clicking on it-like to turn it off, and still getting vapor.
Has to be where I have it wired to right? I am somehow bypassing that button and going straight to the battery from where i soldered those wires-since the button is not turning it off even when i click on it.
I don't know much about electrical stuff/please excuse my stupidity
Gonna try some more-I did buy the switches like recommended for your mod here, so if I have to I can use one of those.
by the way-thanks for posting your instructional-this thing is awesome for the tiny size! Hope I don't ruin it messing around with it before I get done.
just for the short time i had it hooked up, sure seemed like its gonna work excellent.

it will work good and ya i for got about that some times if the atty is shorted that light will come on and stay onto poke a hole in the lid i just use my soldering iron.
i dont know i got 3v when i tested. you can hook up right to the battery too that seems to work good.
Thanks! This is my first mod and it went smooth and works awesome...the wheels are already turning for the next mod...lol
Would it be possible to take the battery off this thing and use 2 14500's in parallel? Would it charge them the same as it does the small LiPo battery it currently uses? Something tells me this is wishful thinking.
you know what i was gonna try this when one of the batterys died. but they have not killed out yet
Will the 14500's even fit? I don't think so. Here's a pic in my hand to give you idea how small this is.
I guess I forgot to mention I would put it in a 3xAA battery box. My bad.

Ohhh! I see what you saying now. That it a great idea. Basically using the circuitry in a mod to charge the batts. Great idea!
question for codfish or whoever would know this. i removed the "flashlite" lite. Does it matter if the black flashlite button is pushed or not? Cause i wasn't thinking about it before and already epoxied the thing and so i don't know if that button is "on" or not.
since that led light is gone, does it matter?
thanks!

It shouldn't matter. The LED closed the circuit, so you could press the button all day without it draining the battery.
ya it wone matter it an open circuit like a battery the ends are open and not doing any thing
messin with one of these right now
so wire on left is ground,, i read 5.1 volts, , the very next wire is reading 4.2 most likely direct batt voltage but its not , direct to battery is reading 3.98, far right positive,, im wondering what it is in this circut that jumps the voltage up an extra 1.1v hummm
mine should be done soon.. yay for RS..
Well got it all done and it works great when hooked to usb but doesnt work at all when un plugged kinda weird..
oh well im only using it for my pass thru anyhow hehehe..

I know mine wasn't charged out of the package, maybe a full charge is all you need. The little blue light will go out once it's fully charged. I haven't had any issues using it portable. Not sure why you would unless it doesn't have a full charge.
I was kinda wondering about the voltage boost myself. With a boost of voltage the current goes down, if I'm remembering my electronics schooling. That being said, I'm thinking that's not a good thing as far as generating heat from the atomizer but it would increase the time to battery drain....correct me if I'm wrong.

I also had th same problem and I thought it was my soldering so i soldered directly to the battery and works fine. Used it for a couple days and just recently started charging it. How long does it normally take to charge?
I picked one of these up today, but I think it's bad. It doesn't have a charge, and when I connect it to the USB, the blue light gives a brief flash, and then turns off.
I just finished one of these myself-I get the same 5.1 v reading. Using a 510 atty, I get absolutely nothing out of it, using a 901 it will work on the PT mode, but it's still a pretty weak vape, imho. My guess is that the mA rating is much to low to power the higher resistance attys properly. It's a cool little device, but doesn't give the vape I'm looking for I guess. Gonna try to salvage it for some other project-maybe it can be used for a charging circuit??
