    Online Tutorial: USB Passthru or Battery box - LIVE 8pm CST 6/13/09

    Updated OP, but Lordmage is hosting this tutorial (and future tuts) on This Week In Vaping for me, everyone should give him a big thanks when they get a chance (: Link to tutorial video/voice chat: This Week In Vape - Videos Link to my forum on TWIV (sweet!) : This Week In Vape - Nerf's Mod Corner

    Trying to build Nicostick, any help available?

    I don't think radioshack has the right ones, mine doesn't at least. You can get them from lighthound or other US suppliers, although you want to use protected 14500 (AA sized) batteries, not the 10440 (AAA sized) ones, as the 10440s are not available in a protected version. Radioshack will...

    Will this work? (passthrough)

    Negative, these are from a US supplier who does stuff for hobby work, robots I think. There are 2 options available right now: .8"x.8" or .5"x1.2", I ordered the rectangular version. The guy who made them was pretty sure they'd work with lithium ions, they have an overheat shutoff either way...

    Trying to build Nicostick, any help available?

    Think we found your problem (: You need to use lithium-ion batteries, or several alkaline/nimh/nicad's in series to power an atomizer, the voltage you're looking for is between 4 and 6 volts total.

    Was it a protected 14500, mogur?

    I've got a 5v boost converter PCB that should be here sometime next week, I'll post up a thread with some tests once I get my new voltmeter in. To measure the current under load, I just need to attach my probes on other side of the atomizer while its active, correct?

    April what kind of batteries are you using? Are you using 1 standard AA by chance?

    Gotcha, quick question though, you said you were using li-polys and I know that you've been experimenting with some ldo vregs, most of the li-polys I've seen that are reasonably priced are 3.7v cellphone batteries, are you running 2 of these in series?

    Lets assume for a moment (since neither of us know if the 3.7v protected batteries have overcurrent protection) that these batteries do indeed cap output at 1.35a, how would that effect a voltage boost converter? As I understand it, boost converters essentially trade amperage for voltage, but if...

    Ok, that makes quite a bit more sense, can most decent multimeters test for the max current supply? I'm still waiting on the slow boat from china for my new one, and my current one can only test to 150mA. Furthermore, any idea what the actual amperage output is of the standard batteries that...

    Payment can be made via paypal, I'll PM everyone once I get everything in and we can take care of payment then (: If you don't have or don't want to use paypal, PM me and I can send you my address for payment via check/money order, I'm pretty easy.

    So your current can be up to the maximum output of your power source, but not over, meaning that the V=IR equation cannot be used to solve for current in cases where your power supply is limited? Edit reply: An atomizer at 3.7ohms resistance will almost always draw more current than the...

    Radioshack, they have 4x AA and 2x AA sealed battery boxes, it'll be in the big chest of parts.

    Do you have one that looks like a horseshoe? On mine, it says Rx 1k(ohms symbol), and mine is a $3 piece of crap.

    So what happens when your amperage capacity is less than that? If you're running USB off of a PC, your maximum amperage is only 100ma, does that somehow get increased to 1.35a? (v = 5, R = 3.7, I = 1.35?)

    Your advice has been pretty amazing, I bet modeezy knows exactly what to do now. Nice explanation, btw.

    I'm not following, maybe you can explain it better, this is my first stab at dropping the voltage on something like this to not burn an atty. How is the atomizer "drawing" anything? The power supply is outputting 4.5v @ 1.6amps, you're wiring that directly to the atomizer, how would it *not*...

    Awesome, these are available now (: If steve ever decides to sell them I'm sure we'd all like to hear from him.

    Oh, my mistake, unfortunately those are not available, only the connectors from batteries for the 801/901/401. Sorry :(
