    Added Value Vapor. Thanks for the heads up.

    eGO - who is the patent holder?

    Nope. They didn't invent a new type of battery or anything, they just stuck a slightly larger li-ion cell into a slightly larger tube. You can't just scale up an existing design and call it new. And besides, they're hardly the first manufacturer to stick a larger li-ion cell in a larger tube...

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    Comparing a single li-ion cell to four stacked NiMH cells, that's an accurate comparison. :rolleyes: Maybe you didn't read the inaccurate post that started it all, so I'll post it again: See what I did there? It's called a "callback". I used the same loaded term that uneverno used to point out...

    New Mod,,,,,,,TEKKEON MOD 5v...Wicked !!

    See, this is the problem with the current system of supplier "vetting". Here's a guy who is simply answering questions about a mod in a thread about that mod. It's not like he was going around spamming in inappropriate threads/forums. If the rules prevent this sort of legitimate dispersal of...

    Batteries and Charging/Stacking Question

    You're fine on all counts. Whether the charger says 3.6V or 3.7V, it's actually charging to 4.2V. Li-ion batteries take a 4.2V charge, but drop almost imeadiately to about 3.8V, then drop very slowly to about 3.5V before they're considered "empty" and the protection circuit cuts them off...

    an interesting day in court...

    I handed out several good-ecig.info cards today as well. I swear I can't leave the house without half a dozen people asking me what that "thing" is that I'm "smoking". I gave my buddy a VYPR (he's been trying to quit dipping for a few months) and in exchange he bought me lunch at a bar in...

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    There's nothing more disingenuous than trying to claim a flaw is actually a feature. NiMH batteries are inconsistent. The fact that they vary widely between fully charged and empty is not something to be proud of. This simply means that the vaping experience will vary significantly during the...

    eGO - who is the patent holder?

    If a patent exists, it would be quickly overturned in a court case. The ego doesn't bring anything new or patentable to the table, except maybe the cone, which Cisco actually did first.

    New Mod,,,,,,,TEKKEON MOD 5v...Wicked !!

    Chev will need to confirm, but it is almost certainly PWM regulated. The battery pack is designed to power USB devices which need a steady 5V. It wouldn't work for its intended purpose if it wasn't well regulated. Everything is user serviceable, given a certain level of user competence. :D As...

    USA Liquid Suppliers - Cost Per ml + Shipping Chart

    Updated Alien Visions cost/ml to reflect their new lower prices (thanks Don). I would like to keep the chart accurate, so if you happen to come across a price change (a permanent change, not just a temporary sale), please post it here. Suppliers: feel free to PM me with updated price changes...

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    Everything I just said. NiMH batteries are inferior to li-ion batteries in every way. Whatever voltage they vape at, they won't do it for long because they have such a low energy density. They also have problems with memory effect and poor lifespan in high-drain applications. They are the...

    Coming Soon! KR8 Holy Grail!

    The holy grail for cartos would be fiberglass filler (which can't burn) combined with LR coils. But I'm interested to see what you have as well. :p

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    There's nothing wrong with 4.8V. The problem lies with your original insinuation that the mako is a "true 5V device" (it isn't), that traditional 5V mods use "tricks" to get 5V (so does every electronic device that needs a non-native voltage), that the mako doesn't use these "tricks" (it does)...

    New Mod,,,,,,,TEKKEON MOD 5v...Wicked !!

    I could explain further, but not without making it even more complicated. :) If there are discrepancies between the numbers and reality, it's due to some of the necessary assumptions being inaccurate and/or the given battery data being inaccurate or inapplicable in this setup. There are a lot...

    New Mod,,,,,,,TEKKEON MOD 5v...Wicked !!

    Yes and no. But if I wanted to be pedantic about it, mostly no :) The milliamp-hour rating of the battery doesn't change. If you have two batteries rated for 2 amp-hours (2000mAh) wired in series, the circuit has a total capacity of 2 amp-hours. Changing the load or the efficiency of the...

    Investors

    This probably isn't the right forum for that sort of thing. Unless you're looking for an investment in an ecig business, this probably isn't even the right website.

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    It's almost certainly a stack of 4 1/3AA batteries heatshrunk together. I've never seen a picture of the maksi battery, but based on the "also takes a 3.7V 14650" claim, this would be about the right size (14mmx67mm). So not really 5V (4.8V nominal) and certainly not a single battery. Plus...

    List of 5 Volt PVs

    There's no such thing as a "5V battery", especially not with NiMH chemistry. It's either a 4-cell 4.8V battery or a 5-cell 6V battery with some kind of regulator built in. The very low capacity (400mAh) would certainly indicate a stack of much smaller cells. So the Maksi uses all the same...

    510 5V Passthrough with 2A USB Power Supply

    Hey hoog, my PT is still doing this. Not all the time, but maybe once every other day or so. Any idea what this is or any way to stop it?

    I need a good 510 PT

    I have a madvapes 5V 510 PT and it works well. You do need to make sure you have a USB source that can handle 2A though, and most computer USB ports can't. I got the 2A AC adapter from MV as well and it does the trick. One thing to watch out for though - It occasionally goes into some sort of...
