    e-power with dual coils?

    I have an e-power and the 14650 battery in it has a bit of trouble supplying a dual-coil with enough power... Right off the charger, when it's running at 4.2v, it does an okay job.. But I'm suspecting there's MAJOR voltage sag (This could be confirmed with an in-line voltage meter, i don't...

    Cartomizerfillinator

    If you look up at my post 2-3 posts above yours, you'll see I have devised a solution to this. Inside some carto condoms there's a little plastic plug-like object.. it's used to plug up the middle hole of the mouthpiece.. it's about .5 inch to 1inch, with one end bigger than the other. I cut...

    An interesting idea.. idea of dual coil cartos...

    What if you were to make a mod with dual 510 connections, side by side... then make an attachment that slips into both cartos like a driptip, to combine into 1 mouthpiece. I know it would require a massive amount of power behind it (2x18650p?) but you could 'roll your own' dual coil...

    Battery question to experts.. I'm so confused here

    Well this is what I'm more concerned about. The person who made the mod for me told me that dual coil cartos are cutting out at around 4v, and all the regulators he has tried all do that. My theory is (And I have no formal/informal electronics training or anything like that... my interest in...

    Battery question to experts.. I'm so confused here

    No.. I'm not confusing the two. Trustfire 14500s are 900mAh. They have a max discharge rate of 1.5C (one and a half times the capacity) This would put the max safe discharge rate at 1.35A It would handle things fine, I'm sure.. but I'm also pretty sure there would be massive voltage sag under...

    Battery question to experts.. I'm so confused here

    I purchased a VV boxmod.. it's on the way It uses 2x 14500 batteries.. i'm guessing they're wired in a series to provide 7.4v and then it's just regulated down through a LDO, excess voltage passed off as heat.. Here's where I get confused.. Since the batteries are wired in a series, the 14500s...

    Cartomizerfillinator

    This is great! I was able to use this method to *completely* clean out old cartomizers... I've always been weary of carto-cleaning techniques, as I would use a Clear Dual COil as a control with very dark juice (To see just how much I was cleaning them..) and nothing ever seemed to totally...

    14500 Protected Batteries (UltraFire) Cheaply?

    Okayy. straight from the vendor these are NOT protected. I repeat, are NOT protected.. the product pictured is, but these are not. so if anyone else knows a place with protected 14500s that fit, let me know.. *this is getting really annoying.. i've tried 7 different sites now (Needs to be...

    14500 Protected Batteries (UltraFire) Cheaply?

    Shipping was extremely cheap, I think $2.50 for regular mail. I picked up 2 pairs and it ended up being around $17.50 total I believe with shipping... not bad at ALL and *still* cheaper than anywhere I've found them with FREE shipping.

    Modular part ideas...

    I was thinking the exact same thing last night.. and I thought if I had the technical know-how to construct something like this, I would in a HEARTBEAT It seems you can do it rather cheaply, and could sell at quite the markup... There's a huge.. i mean HUGE market of eGo/Riva users that would...

    Looking for an inline voltage meter

    Notcigs has them for $11 and you can get it threaded any way you like.. Volt meter - notcigs.com *Didn't notice the OP was looking for one that supported testing under load, which this one does not do.

    Newbie question.. to the modders

    So, I'm purchasing a home-made VV boxmod.. my question is this How do you monitor the state of the battery to ensure you do not over discharge it? I know the protection circuit should kick in and protect it.. but usually with a regular boxmod the voltage drop-off from the battery discharging...

    A new type of cig replacement.. no battery? Anyone else know what this is?

    Here are a few mentions of it.. Finally 'safe' cigarette invented? - PTI - Safe Cigarette Finally Developed? | ThirdAge You'll notice on the 2nd page of the 2nd article.. it says that it doesn't use a battery and doesn't heat/burn anything.. but emulates the 'ritual and feel' of a...

    ePower - possible Charger/Battery problem?

    Something sounds wrong... I have an e-power and I vape pretty heavily.. I haven't yet been able to actually kill a battery (flashing LED).. I bought 1 extra (the trustfire 14650) and i keep 2 fully charged batts on me all the time.. and I switch out about the middle of the 2nd day.. and I do...

    How Powerful The Mind Truly Is...

    I don't understand.. how can ceasing to inhale the products of combustion ever.... EVER be a bad thing? Sure, inhaling anything but clean air is bad for you. But I'd wager that switching to vaping, no matter your condition, would be better than continuing to smoke.... of course quitting 100%...

    Dekang conversation about e-liquid

    Okay... so I'm fairly new to vaping. About 2 weeks ago I picked up 50ml of Dekand DK-TAB from Madvapes, it came in a white plastic bottle. It was excellent e-juice, loved the stuff. RY4 was back in stock, so I pick some up.. it comes in a CLEAR bottle with a flower (?) and it's almost a...
