    Charging batteries in parallel?

    I've been contemplating a mod for a while that would have two 14500s or 18350s in parallel. I would very much like to use an integrated USB charging circuit in the mod. I can't think of any reason that a charger board would have a problem with two batteries in parallel, but that doesn't mean a...

    almost "Bob"

    Does it work? Because if it does, then you're not doing anything wrong. Maybe the charger didn't quite work out, but that doesn't make the project a failure. My projects hardly ever end up exactly how I plan them out in my head. Just keep trying different stuff until you get it working the...

    New EGO?_e-cigarette 016 Starter Kit

    It provides more watts than a 3.2V device, but not more watts than a 3.7V device - because it is a 3.7V device. If it provides an average of 3.7V, it should be labeled as such (just as all other 3.7V devices are). All 3.7V devices start out at 4.2V, but they all drop down almost immediately...

    New EGO?_e-cigarette 016 Starter Kit

    Yes to the first, not quite to the second. It breaks down like this: Standard 510: 180mAh battery, regulated to 3.2V ego/tornado/riva: 650mAh battery, regulated to 3.2V Maxx/trex: 650mAh battery, unregulated (3.7V average) Bauway/Hello 016: 1300mAh battery, unregulated (3.7V average) Almost...

    Need opinions: Chuck vs XHaler

    I don't own either, but here are the basic differences (on paper) between the two: The Big Chuck vs the Xhaler: The chuck takes an 18650, which will last longer and be easier to replace (much more common) than the 17670 in the xhaler. The chuck will run at 6V with a pair of 3V CR123a...

    Very, very cool. Can you give us an estimate on price so I can start saving my pennies?

    New EGO?_e-cigarette 016 Starter Kit

    You're not getting it. All batteries run at an average of 3.7V. That start off at ~4.2V, quickly drop to ~3.8V, then slowly drop to about 3.5V when the protection circuit cuts them off. They're all the same. The only difference comes in when a manufacturer adds some circuitry to reduce the...

    New EGO?_e-cigarette 016 Starter Kit

    Yes and yes. The pictures of the two devices are identical and they are being released at the same time, so they are almost certainly the same device. As I pointed out above, calling one a "4.2V" device just because that's what the battery reads at max charge is a bit disingenuous. It's the...

    Where Can I Get A......? 5v or higher passthru?

    Nobody makes a PT higher than 5V because that would require a voltage booster circuit. For a 5V PT though, I second the Madvapes suggestion.

    Where Can I Get A......? High quality 3xAA battery box

    No, still no luck.

    Carto seller that takes payment other than CC

    I've used the Paypal one-time credit card thing and it works as advertised. You install a plugin for your browser and there will be a paypal button in your menu bar. Click it and it will generate a mastercard number that is only good for one transaction. You use that to pay for an order on a...

    Thinking of getting a mod, whats your dream mod?

    My dream mod hasn't been made yet, though the fistpack is close. Most mod manufacturers have shown shockingly little desire to innovate or increase efficiency. The perfect mod needs the following features: Two-cell Li-ion or LiPo power - Single cells have difficulty providing the current...

    The labels are there. Look at the far left and far right (volts) and the top, just under the chart title (ohms).

    3.7v vs 4.2v?

    Quoting myself from another thread:

    3.7v vs 4.2v?

    Watts = Voltage squared / resistance.

    stronger e-cig

    Voltage isn't the defining characteristic of how a PV performs. It is only one characteristic. Wattage is the true measure of performance. You can raise the wattage by going with higher voltage or lower resistance. Most people don't bother with anything above 6V because there is such a thing...

    eGo,Riva,tornado,Maxx? How did I make my Choice? Ask me!!

    The ego (both Joye brand and Janty brand) and the Tornado are the same device. The only difference is the bundled accessories/warranty. The Riva is a similar (but not identical) design, which it is made by Eastmall. The Bauway 016 (aka Hello 016, aka F-16) is similar in shape, but larger in...

    eGo,Riva,tornado,Maxx? How did I make my Choice? Ask me!!

    Almost certainly not. The distributor is most likely using an old marketing trick to make their product look better than it is. All li-ion cells provide 3.7V, but that's an average. At maximum charge they're at about 4.2V, but that quickly drops down to about 3.8V. They'll then slowly...

    3.7v vs 4.2v?

    The ego isn't a 3.7V device. It uses PWM to reduce the effective voltage to 3.2V and extend battery life, just like standard batteries. The maxx isn't a 4.2V device. "4.2V" is a bit of a marketing trick. All li-ion cells provide 3.7V, but that's an average. At maximum charge they're at...

    DIY 5v all day

    For a basic 5V box mod, you need a 3xAA battery box, a 5V regulator, a battery connector of your choice, a button and a pair of 14500 batteries. An LED is optional. The whole lot should run you about $18 at madvapes.
