    Menthol Crystals in Everclear

    You just made yourself some really really strong menthol drops. They're perfect for what you want though, but you can't vape em straight. The way you need to use them, (for what you want), is to add a few drops to some vg (or vg/pg mix). Start off by adding maybe 3 drops MAX to 1 ml, shake it...

    All day 5 volt box (and it's little brother)

    The leads from the caps are wrapped once around the pins from the board, and then soldered to the pins. The output cap is only attached to the board by it's positive lead. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a few pics to help clarify. :)

    Better throat hit?

    You could also just take longer hits, until you're able to get the previously mentioned higher nic liquid, or a high voltage mod. Long, slow, easy draws, should give you more vapor, with a better th.

    Your Best Tip for Beginners :

    NEVER wait until you only have 1 or 2 atty's before ordering more. In the same note, don't wait until you are almost out of juice to order more.

    got 14250?

    Those batteries are not protected. Be Careful.

    All day 5 volt box (and it's little brother)

    Sorry, I didn't make a how to for the all day box using the booster. But I did do a how to for a more recent version of the smaller box. The 4th picture isn't showing up anymore (damn image shack), but it's not a big deal. Here's the link...

    Madvapes 5v regulators rock

    Most stock atty's will draw more than 1.5 amps @ 5v. So go with the 3 amp regulator. And joker was right about the led's, they don't take much power at all.

    What were my parents doing wrong?

    Umm, didn't most of us cough the first time we tried real cigarettes. How about the first time you tried an e-cig. I know I did.

    Booster comes from texas instruments. PTN04050C - TI.com Register with the site, and you can get 4 free samples, (one of each package type). But when you register, TYPE the TI address into your browser, starting from your home page. DON'T link to it from here. Some people have had problems...

    Madvapes 5v regulators rock

    Looks good so far deitra. And no, a little messy soldier won't hurt anything, as long as it doesn't short something out. So on the pcb you were holding in your picture, as long as the soldier in Row 1 isn't touching anything in row 2, and the soldier from row 2 isn't touching anything from the...

    Question and problem with 5v regulator

    Scott- the TI regulator you asked about is the UCC283-5. But I don't think the regulator is the problem. Wait and see what the new batteries do, but the regulator from MadVapes shouldn't be the issue.

    Question and problem with 5v regulator

    Surprised this is happening when using two 14500's. I don't use 510 atty's regularly anymore, but I do use them for a little while whenever I build a 5 volt box. Basically it's my version of a stress test, since I know the 510's draw heavy current, and so far, I haven't seen this happen. Not...

    Madvapes 5v regulators rock

    I use a ModernVapor 902 atty which is about 3 ohms, (and a much better vape at 5v then a 510). But I've also used a Joy 510 atty, (2.4 ohms), with no problems. And that is using two protected 10440's to power the regulator. I will continue to use the regulators from Madvapes. They're made by...

    All day 5 volt box (and it's little brother)

    The wiring diagram is on the first page of the 4050c data sheet. http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/ptn04050c To get a 5v output, no Rset resistor is used. Just leave it open. It works with mine, but I've only used it like that for a little while, because it really over stresses the battery. Most...

    No resistor or regulator 5V box mod

    You can also solder three 1 ohm resistors in parallel which = 1/3 ohm (1/4 watt would be fine since there is 3 of them) Just find a local electronics parts shop. There's still some around. (rat shack doesn't count)

    My 14500 bats keep dying.

    Maybe try some batteries from a different supplier. High Tech DealZ, has DX like prices but is stateside. So besides his great prices, and good customer service, you also get much faster shipping, (which is free, and you'll have it in 4-5 days).

    No resistor or regulator 5V box mod

    It's not really protecting the switch, it's just that, that part of the circuit operates at low current. You can do the same thing without a regulator, by using a separate mosfet. But if the goal is a 5v mod using a micro switch, it makes more sense to just use the regulator w/control pin for a...

    adjustable voltage?

    Or you can build a switchless variable voltage mod using the 5v regulator w/control pin, from MadVapes. You gotta love this regulator. Anything over 5.5v gets regulated down to 5v, but anything between 3.0v and 5.5v goes through as is. So, if you're using one 14500, you're vaping at about 3.7...
