    MVP center pin...

    Most likely, the center pin of the PV is soldered to a short wire going to a small pad on a circuit board. This wire will twist and break and has historically been a high failure point for many PVs. Lifting the center pin has been about the most recommended method of reducing the life of...

    MVP center pin...

    Stars, You are one of the very few that gets this. Make the center pin longer by making the shell shorter. (0.005" should be enough). Those that don't know what's under the center pin in an expensive APV just love lifting and jiggling the center pin. The more it moves the more strain that is...

    Basic circuitry questions.

    Frosty, I think it's great that you want to make your own mods. Search around the modding forum and battery mods sub forum. The craze now is digital display variable watt APVs but plain old DIY 3.7 volt mods still make plenty of people happy (myself included). To answer some of your "Basic...

    ego charger explodes

    Imbalance? and 4 to 5 milliamps flowing from where to where? It's a Ground Fault detector. Current difference between hot and neutral lines MIGHT be going through a person's hands to GROUND. AC line current going to ground is a FAULT. The purpose is to prevent current from the toaster to the...

    That's Insane! The world's largest mod/E-cig?

    Details would matter. Was it stacked little batteries or stacked big batteries? Properly designed, with protection, stacks of cells can safely be used. Here's a 12 volt pack (3 cells in series and 2 strings in parallel for 62 watt hours) using six 2800mah high energy, 4.35 volt cells, and a...

    Question regarding mixing (Nic lvl)

    I suggest learning to do the calculations, and if you want later, use a calculator. I tried to explain e-juice mixing to a pharmacy assistant and they couldn't get it. Wonder what they do with meds? Here's the secret to getting your strength level correct. I could care less about VG/PG...

    ego charger explodes

    The power adapter is normally not called a CHARGER. It was not made specifically for the eGo. Thus the question was it an eGO charger, a eFo clone charger, or just one of those power adapters that are used for anything that uses 5 volt USB power. When someone says an "eGo CHARGER explodes" it...

    ego charger explodes

    Was this an eGo charger, an eGo clone charger, or the 110v to 5 volt USB power supply? These wall adapters are probably second sourced and kitted with the eGo/charger (name brand or clone). While an exploding capacitor makes a load noise, it seldom creates a fire. 1000's of devices use the...

    510 Connector Question

    I've used several 510 methods from pressing in an 801 to 510 adapter (very meaty connector) on an aluminum box mod to putting an eGo to 510 adapter on a plastic box mod with the shell of a 510 connector on the back as a lock nut to several 'Stove Soldered Connectors' on metal mods that would...

    broke even

    I'm all for saving money, so I do a lot of DIY. Costs me about 30 cents a day for juice, average about 20 cents a day in cartos, and about 10 cents a day for batteries. What's that, about 1 pack a week? Half a pack in some areas? If you WANT to save money you can. If you don't want to...

    To charge or not to charge....

    The when to charge has been covered, but to answer the on/off question about eGo types that have the 5 click off feature, try to remember to turn them off. Leaving them on won't hurt the battery, UNLESS you accidentally touch the button and try and fire into the charger. SOMETIMES that will...
