Nah. Just a rip-off. 2.0 implies functional improvements.

Nah. Just a rip-off. 2.0 implies functional improvements.

Rip off - TRUE - the highest form of flattery
( But most everything I do is "OPEN SOURCE"
not trying to get RICH in this life)

Did add these improvements (I believe) -

Upped the voltage - Running the batteries in series for a total voltage of around 6.3 volts - (They drop off from full charge pretty rapidly) During use the run around 5.1 volts and are pulling 1.12 amps which is less than What an atomizer uses with a USB mod (It pulls around 1.34 amps Voltage is 5.1 volts w/USB mod off computer)
OH the Vape is awesome!!!

Added Visual feedback - Used LED out of Battery

Added a main shutoff via Flashlight Switch
Added BONUS

Moved switch to a more ergonomic position
More like a smoking a cig instead of the other stuff (Carb hole )


Happing Vap'in

I'm interested, it looks good. I like the idea of having the switch on the side, that is a natural place to squeeze.

 

[threespeed]

that's brilliant. would love to see a video tutorial.

 

[Somoney]

The Idea of sprinkling eJuice on a flashlight and wrapping your lips around the bulb seamed kind of ridiculous, and falic. Makes much better sense now

 

[SANJP]

yeh madog any chance of a video of it in action ???

 

[deewal]

I'm also interested .Would love to see a video.

 

[Soot]

I'd be interested in a video too - and - can someone explain what "One Small chunck of 1/2 PVC Sch. 40 (Must be Sch. 40 - 600psi WILL NOT WORK )" is and where one might find some (apart from madog's toolbox )

 

[leaford]

I'm interested too. I've never done anything like this and a step-by-step would be nice. I want to make one to fit a LTV9 atomizer.
