    Suggestions for 5v batteries and cases

    I got the switch at RadioShack, but it's only rated at 0.5 amps, so I wouldn't recommend it.

    Laser Pointer mod Guide

    Excellent tutorial! I finally got around to doing this, and it works great. Ran into a few problems along the way (biggest one being accidentally soldering the wire from the atomizer to the spring), but in the end, it only took a couple of hours, and most of that was spent shortening the PCB to...

    First 5v mod

    Looks good, man. Are you going to put the capacitors in when they arrive? I thought they were needed so your battery PCBs don't go nuts thinking it's a short.

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

    The regulator does get hot, but not to a degree that I felt was dangerous. My regular atomizers get as hot from use. The problem with the RS regulator is that it's not a low dropout regulator. I think you'd get a bit of use with the RS regulator, but it would stop working long before the...

    Longest Lasting Battery

    Well...what counts as a mod? Just battery boxes built by individual hobbyists outside of China? Then the longest will almost certainly be the DSE905, which has 900mAh batteries. If by "mods aside," you mean only long cylindrical screw-on batteries, then it's probably one of the mega batteries...

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    As an update, I went 33 hours before needing to recharge, and I'm about a 2ml a day guy, so that battery should get you through about 3ml. Next time I use the Digipower, I'm going to keep the stock battery, and see if I can fit it in a 2xAAA box with a nice switch, and USB passthrough.

    Comrehensive Connector Compatability List

    No luck with the staple mod. I didn't actually have a staple handy, so I used a piece of solder, then a piece of wire. No luck either way.

    Discussing the NicoStick

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to use the charger that came with your device to charge your nicostick. I don't know, but your basic concept seems sound. Have an unbroken negative wire from the battery to the atomizer, have the positive wire from the battery to the atomizer broken...

    Has anyone found where to buy 2.5 Volt battery's

    Even if you find a 5v battery pack, there's still going to be a regulator of some sort. Why get a battery pack with a regulator instead of just using your own regulator?

    Sources for connectors

    I know nothing of 4081 devices. Do they fit something else...like are they compatible with 801?

    Has anyone found where to buy 2.5 Volt battery's

    I'd bet dollars to donuts that you haven't seen 5v lithium-ion batteries in a size that would be practical for modding. You can get a 5v battery pack, but they're going to be too big, and will be made up of multiple 3.7v cells regulated down to 5v, anyway. You may be able to get 5v cells with...

    The Dse-905

    Will you only be selling a full kit, or will you have just the battery holder for sale at a lower price?

    That was my thinking as well. At least the slow charge is good for battery longevity.

    Nice! Looks like you're about 15 minutes away.

    Comrehensive Connector Compatability List

    Just found that a DSE084 battery works with a 510 atomizer. It's not a perfect fit, as it can't screw in all the way, but I just used it and got vapor. The reverse, however, is not true. While a DSE084 atomizer will screw into a 510 battery, the positive connection in the center is recessed too...

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    Okay, so it got me through moderate use all day yesterday with no sign of dropping off. I gave it another overnight charge, and this time the charging light did go out, so I guess it's just a matter of a very slow charging rate combined with a large battery...the initial overnight charge just...

    DSE 905 (900mAh battery)in stock again on Nov.14th !!!

    Is that what normally happens when items are out of stock? It redirected me to a "product 0" page that would not load. I didn't get a page with the item on it that showed them out of stock. Just want to know for future visits.

    Has anyone found where to buy 2.5 Volt battery's

    Again, not an expert, so I'm willing to accept an alternate explanation from someone more knowledgeable, but I don't believe it's an issue of consumer demand, just a limitation of the technology. Battery voltage is a function of the materials used, which is why alkalines are 1.5v, and nimh are...
