    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    I wouldn't call myself either "old" or a "pro," but I'm happy to share my experiences and advice. And if you're going to give modding a try, I'd suggest a nicostick as a first project. There's nothing easier to make.

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    Hah! Replace "skills" with "willingness to screw it up a dozen times over before figuring out how to do it right" and "tools" with "cheap dremel and soldering iron" and you'll be working with what I've got. Seriously, I didn't do any of this stuff until I started building mods. Almost anyone can...

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    Well, I went and did it...it's a tight fit, but it's got a side switch, bottom safety switch, and an 18650.

    Any idea when the juices will be fully stocked again?

    But when will peanut butter cup be back in stock? That's what I want to know.

    Any one here from New Jersey, or Staten Island, NY ?????

    Mac, I was born in Elizabeth. WatZ, I grew up in Cranford, which is pretty close to Colonia. I'm living in Monmouth Junction now (one of the many townlets in South Brunswick). The wife said we had plans on the 21st, but they may be getting canceled, so there's a chance I can make it. If I...

    $3.74 801 Atomizer Connector Extractor

    Very nice! Now we just have to come up with similar methods for all the devices.

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    Now that sounds like a challenge. I'll have to see if I can fit an 18650 with a side switch, now. :-)

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    Thanks! I'm not too happy with it, though. The glue was a pretty clumsy fix, so I'll probably take another stab at it. The connector is off center by a hair, and I can't help but notice. And I put a ding in it. In case you couldn't tell, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

    My first magnum mod...nothing special

    So I got bored and picked up a flashlight from Walgreens. I believe it's the same one Cisco used in his tropical magnum mod...I went with blue, though: The only real problem I ran into was finding a way to mount the PCB inside, as it's a bit smaller than the inside diameter, and I broke the...

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    So any thoughts on how I can calibrate this thing, or is the answer to that "buy a better one?" My old analog meter had a calibration wheel for resistance.

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    There's a very real possibility the multimeter I just bought is junk. When I check the resistance of the two leads directly touching, I get 0.4 ohms.

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    I don't know about that...every other switch I have in my box measures either 0.4 or 0.5.

    dual atty dual 18650 box mod

    I got a very different explanation in this thread. The poster indicated that two resistors in parallel would have half the resistance and draw twice the current.

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    That is very much appreciated. 4.92v 4.92v 4.92v Out of range 0.4 ohms 0.5 ohms

    dual atty dual 18650 box mod

    Why not? Shouldn't two atomizers in parallel just draw twice as much current? It would drain the battery faster, but they should both still work fine.

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    Okay, my working multimeter arrived. Here's what I get: Outside of atomizer to far lead on the switch: 4.92v Outside of atomizer to near lead on the switch: 0v, 1.38v when switch is pressed I've tried different atomizers and different switches, and the results are pretty much the same. All my...

    Thank you ! Modders !

    Big explosions. Big explosions. Big explosions. At least, that's what the bit-heads told me when I brought up the idea of using supercapacitors. The whole "touch the leads with a screwdriver, and the thing vaporizes" scared me off from using them in something that's inches away from my face...

    dual atty dual 18650 box mod

    Pending any better information from someone with more electronics know-how, I'd just wire it up as a normal 5v mod, but put the atomizers in parallel. I believe you could just leave out the regulator and put the atomizers in series, but then you're right back to 3.7v again. What box are you using?
  19. boondongle

    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    Yes. But I think I have the RS regulator confused with the one from SparkFun. That one has a 7v cut-off. If the RS one has a cutoff around 5v, it should work. I can't seem to find the minimum input voltage for the RS 7805 anywhere. Not an expert at all, though, so someone with more information...

    Nicostik without on/off switch

    At first, I used the boxes without a safety switch. After burning out several atomizers and getting many unpleasantly hot shocks in my pants pocket, I bit the bullet and just ordered several battery boxes online.
