    The ABCs of batteries

    @the puck... There's nothing 'wrong' about any battery. Lead acid is a do. It's only about what is weight, size, and energy efficient. I don't carry my motorcycle battery in my front pocket, and we all 'do' what we can. Four NiMHs isn't that big of a deal, and they work great.... But...

    The ABCs of batteries

    Sorry, maybe I need to 'xplain... LiCoO2 is the normal Li ion battery that we have become familiar with LiPoly is Li Po, what Scarlet was talking about. LiMn2O4 is the new "high drain" battery. High drain, but notice that it isn't as energy dense.... If you torture your batteries, you...

    The ABCs of batteries

    The short answer is yes. For those that are learning challenged, skip to the pictures.... LiPo batteries are less inclined to flare or blow up. Whereas the flat pack Lipo batteries aren't capable of explosion, the new can-type batteries are possibly explosive. They have similar...

    Quick led question

    Just as a general rule, a supply voltage of 5 volts needs a 150 ohm resistor for most leds. However, we tend to be talking about 4.2 volts max for a single li-on cell, so 100 ohms works well for max brightness on most leds. If you use a blue or white led, then the resistor can be 47 ohms, since...

    M401 atomizer disassembled - pics

    There is no end of my love for Canadians. They are the nicest, friendiest people I have ever met. And Rj, you are a guru. I wish I had your class. And your camera. Grin. Nice job, thank you. And the opening ceremonies were killer.

    Discussing the NicoStick

    Nico, nice. I just ordered a few boxes from comfortable electronics (Jameco). A few 2xAA w/switch/cover. 3xAA w/switch/cover. 4xAA w/switch/cover. 2xAAA w/switch/cover. 3xAAA w/switch/cover. Guess you might think I like the switch. Yes, I put a high output white led in there, too, so that I can...

    Newbie question regarding using ecigs

    geez, i miss u guys, sorry, but i gave up e-cigs and went back to smokes. i will still play with them, but for me, it is smokes, or health. i wish that i could get a hit off of it, but it just doesn't work for me. Maybe ecigs while i taper down, i don't know. Just trying to be truthful.

    The PCC needs modification

    Nice idea, nicowolf. At the next modder's convention, there can be a quick draw tourney.

    Modder's Printed Circuit Board

    Yep. Do we want an atty completely inside? Half inside would prevent most stress on the connector from side torque.

    Cigar rebuild - PICS (Bling v2)

    That is lame. I used to order from them on almost a daily basis when prototyping. They were efficient, well stocked, had everything, but then I was only a couple ground days away from them. I'd be delighted to order for you, and send it along, if you want. I also could peel off a few feet of...

    Modder's Printed Circuit Board

    Kina's on top of the touch switch. One is single terminal picking up stray EMF, and the other is the two contact version, I think. Been leaving that to the expert. PICs can directly interface USB with two data lines. Quite a bit of overhead in the small chips, though. A twenty pin version has...

    An M401 atomizer in a Bling cigar?

    Damn, Randy, where have you been hiding these threads? (I know, up my #$%+^@.) This one, the RN/DSE cigar comparison, the bling, and a few others of yours I just found a few minutes ago. It's like a walk through modder's heaven. Thank you. I'm starting to focus on cigars because I fell in love...

    Modder's Printed Circuit Board

    Nice work, caesar. Yeah, the micro I was thinking of is the sot-23-6 PIC10Fxxx. It would only supervise the charge controller chip, by suspending the charge when vaping for a few seconds, then resuming the normal charge cycle. Might confuse the charger chip with a high amp drain on the cell...

    ecig model database

    I've been tabulating ecig model data for the last month or two. I noticed today that Jim Davis mentioned in an old thread that it would be nice to have the threads sizes identified for most models and charted. The following database has almost no thread information, but if modders were to break...
