    Vaping has ruined me!!

    Funny you should mention that. I already was a big wine nerd (and beer nerd), and I'm loving it now...although my palate is going all over the place, and some things I liked before taste terrible now, and vice versa. Strangely, I didn't have the same experience with beer. Huh.

    Vaping has ruined me!!

    I had a similar experience. I used to be the one who could eat any spicy foods...now the girlfriend has a higher tolerance than I do. Very embarrassing, especially since I used to make fun of her for it. Ahh, karma.

    Has anyone found where to buy 2.5 Volt battery's

    Yeah, I'm no expert, but I didn't think the internal chemistry of a li-ion battery allowed for anything other than a very few limited voltages (3.0v, 3.2v, 3.6v, and 3.7v, if I remember correctly).

    That does help, actually. It seemed to be dimmer, but it's hard to tell, because the way I have it hooked up, only the reflection of the internal LED is visible as it gets caught in the external flashlight LED. Hopefully, that makes sense -- basically, I'm using the white flashlight LED as a...

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    Hmm...ran into a potential problem. The charging light never went out, after a full night of charging. Does the blue light normally turn off entirely, or just drop to a dimmer setting? I'm just wondering if the charging circuit is able to recognize the much larger battery. As to a schematic...

    It works! I decided that I wanted 3.7v, instead of whatever upconversion happens in the chip, so as to get longer battery life. So instead of connecting to the USB connection, I just connected directly to the battery, and it works just fine. I like to keep the mods as small as possible, but...

    Man, I must have been VERY tired last night -- the problem was that I just plain didn't solder one of the wires! It's somewhat frightening to think that I had a hot soldering iron in my hands while in that state. I touched the wire to to where it should be soldered, and the charging light came...

    Hmm....it's not looking good with the new battery. The LED comes on when I plug in the USB cable, but it's so dim you can barely tell. I'm too tired to troubleshoot it tonight, so I'll let it charge until morning and see if the situation changes.

    My Romisen Cree RC-A8 Mod

    Okay, thanks. I'm a bit thrown by what appears to be a clover-leaf shape that's stamped out of the nut, though...didn't see anything that looked like it had that.

    Not a clue, but I have two of them, so hopefully at least one will be good. Not sure if I'll be able to do it tonight or not, but this is my next mod, without a doubt.

    Well, still not sure about the ion/polymer issue. Palm says ion, Softpedia claims polymer, and all the replacement batteries seem to be polymer.

    My Romisen Cree RC-A8 Mod

    Can someone post a picture of (or link to) the push nut? I looked at my local Home Depot, and they had multiple 5/16" push nuts, and they all looked different.

    510 NicoStick - 401 Atty as connector

    I prefer using the charger connector. It has a nice rounded square shape to it, which I take advantage of by sinking it partway through the plastic, so that it has extra strength against the twisting that happens when you connect or disconnect an atomizer. Putting in notches takes only a few...

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    Hmm. I'm at work right now, so I'm posting from my cell phone. I'll double check this when I get home, but I think the battery is sometimes listed as a lithium ion polymer battery, and sometimes as a lithium ion. Physically, it definitely appears to be a li-po, not a li-ion. Also, I believe the...

    Beats me. It's definitely a soft flat pack, with no metal casing. I don't think you can do that with a li-ion.

    Mod question out there to the experts

    You can buy conductive glue to get around the soldering issue. I don't have any experience with it myself, though, so I can't say how well it will work.

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    Well, I really have no idea if it will work, gmojo. I like the Palm battery because it has a decent capacity, and is lithium polymer like the stock digipower battery. I believe a li-ion would work, but I figured I'd start of with something as similar as possible, then work out from there.

    Happy to help, gmojo. On a different note, I'm going to try using the board from the DigiPower, but with a bigger battery. I just moved, so instead of throwing out all the old gadgets and miscellaneous electronic junk I had piling up, I tossed it in a box. I went through it to see what goodies...
