    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    K, got it. Thanks for the clarification. :) If I were trying to make that work I'd need about a 20ohm atty =P which I doubt is out there? XD

    One week, tried an analog anddddd...

    they do taste pretty bad, but congratz on your 2 weeks on analog free-ness. I actually broke down and had an analog a couple days ago, it was a bad day and my stuff was charging. Was with my girlfriend and rear ended a nice beamer. Not a good day.

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    so theoretically, if somehow I found a supply that ran 10v @ .5amps, I would get the same hit as a 5v @ 2 amps? So it is the wattage I want to look at? I'm just making sure for my mods that I am planning out so I know where the "sweet spot" is for all of it. sorry for the double post, was...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    that was pretty much my plan after reading all of this. Gonna buy a Car to USB and AC to USB with my order from madvapes. 5v @ 2amps seems like its gonna do the trick ;)

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    D'oh! :-x Posted right before I posted mine. So its not the watts, its the current going in that needs to be correct? So amps is what I'm looking for, watts is not?

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    There ya go, that hit me on the head :thumbs: I had the formula already, just needed the clarification on the USB ports and whatnot. And if anyone could, what do watts have to do with vaping? from what it seems like I've drawn, anywhere from 5 to 10 watts is where we are supposed to be at...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    so it would be .5amps cutting all of those calculations I did in half?

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    Well, with the said passthough, its not technically giving you 5v of power, if you go to http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/65055-battery-voltages-surprise.html and scroll down to where he has the passthrough plugged in to it, its reading at about 3.2v, which gives it a 1.3amp...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    as stated by rocketman it really isn't worth it, you can just figure out how long the battery will last(for you personally) by doing a couple of your own quick calculations. EDIT: I'll do a quick runthrough I guess, I know it was stated somewhere earlier, but I figured it out again. First...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    mA/mAh=C 1.8amps = 1800mA @2600mAh 1800mA/2600mAh= .7c thats for the first part of the answer digs had, I'm not sure about the second part. but now I'm starting to understand the passthrough idea. you're getting the 1000mA from what the computer puts out, making it a 1 amp output...

    Prospective first mods, shopping at Madvapes?

    Well, for my first two mods I want to start with the basic(maybe add a LED in) NicoStick, and then make a sort of USB capable flashlight mod with either a straight bypass to USB or make it have a built in charger. So for the first and simplest, the NS, I would just need everything he has in his...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    Alright, so I won't really worry about C so much. That's one less thing I have to think about when making my mods. But did I get the calculations right on my example? And how about the wattage theory? Is that what we "need" to actually vape? A certain wattage to produce the vapor up until a...

    Modding a passthrough?

    well, what i'm getting from this is that its depending on the amps that the usb port puts out, which some say is .5amps and some say 1 or 2. I'm not exactly sure which it is. What it looks like that we actually need to have for it to vaporize the juice is a 5watt power supply. With a .5amp...

    Looking for a Camel Crush type of flavor!

    welp, I just took one of the camel crushes apart that I had lying around and popped the little ball in it, then added a drop or two onto it and vaped it... verdict: SUCESS! And I did just now realize the peppermint flavor, so yes, that is what I'll be adding to my order, just to get that...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    Wow, thanks a lot everyone, after I checked this thread this morning before I headed off to a job I didn't expect to see any replies after 53 views and nothin posted =\ But thank you all a whole bunch, I'll probably be picking up a couple books so I can get this all down a bit better, but I...

    Electricity 101. I'm taking notes. Teacher(s) Wanted!

    WARNING: This is VERY LONG, I'm sorry! First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for the information I've learned here in the past couple days on the modders forum. From a few threads I've read I've learned quite a bit(compared to prior non-existent knowledge) on the general workings of...

    My 5v Mod (Nico Stick)

    well, a question for you, or anyone reading, because right now I'm just trying to completely(or generally) understand how wiring and electricity works before I start modding. but my question is, doesn't the resistor and the regulator do the same thing? one pulls the voltage down(to 5v), one...

    Modding a passthrough?

    So I would just use a multimeter to test out the amps/ohms? I need to know where I can get I and R. edit: So mAh is in there, regarding the amps? or what? Jeeze, I think I might just take a summer electronics class so I can learn all of this ...., even though electricity scares the jebus...

    Modding a passthrough?

    I need to learn why this is... Care for a quick mathematical run-through, thats the only part I would seem to understand, and would really like to begin to understand for when I start modding here pretty soon. Maybe just a link to something where I could figure it out on my own?

    One week, tried an analog anddddd...

    Well I guess time went by faster than I thought, its been nearly two weeks already and I'm loving it. Gonna be modding here pretty soon, I can't wait! and thanks again =D
