    Buying Juice or DIY for Newbie

    Pretty much - I've been mixing all of my own liquid for months now, and I'll never go back to the crap that you buy commercially anymore. I get my unflavored juice from bliplabs.com, then add 15-30% flavor depending on which flavor I want, and cut it down to the desired nicotine level using...

    201 PT help please

    Also, it should be mentioned that a 510 is always going to have a better throat hit, the vapor is going to be much warmer due to the higher wattage is produces via its lower resistance. Make sure you get a 5v passthru if you get another as well - some of them are regulated to 3.5v via either...

    Nerf's OFFICIAL OEM 401/510/801/901 connector thread V2.1

    I'll do that quite a bit when making adapters too, the tricky part is making sure you cut both of them perfectly straight - it can be a bit tough freehand with a dremel.

    what's interchangable?

    Your 510 atomizers will fit any 510 mod - like the chuck, lil' chuck, silver bullet, etc. Batteries are just batteries, as long as the connector fits your atomizer you're good to go.

    510 Atties and "Burnt Taste"

    Everclear and an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner ($20 from Wal-Mart) is probably a great first step. If that doesn't work, I've had some success with a few 5-10 second dry burns.

    HV Atty Resistance Rating

    That depends on where you're buying them from - the atomizers that drewsworld (nhaler) carries are 5.2 ohms, the ones that eastmall sells are 4.5 ohms (this is what they claim, I haven't tested them personally). For any resistances outside of those 2, check the thread in the modders forum or...

    Resistor vs Regulator

    Nice chart marlbuzz, might be a bit hard to read for those who don't know what they're looking for, though.

    Nope, anything over a few k ohms is perfectly fine, you just don't want you use a low ohm resistor or you completely negate the effect of the mosfet - the whole point is drive almost no current through the physical switch.

    Why 801 has best thoat hit?

    You should be getting a far better throat off of the 510 than the 801, and slightly better on the 901 than the 801. 801s have substantially more airflow and this cools the vapor down quite a bit - hotter vapor = larger throat hit. Do you have any other 510 or 901 atomizers you can test on, you...

    The Silver Bullet into a 5v?

    Unfortunately, there are no drop-in regulators currently being made, however there are high-voltage atomizers available designed specifically to provide the same wattage (heat) as a 5v source on 2x 3.7v batteries. I actually spearheaded the development of these personally, and as far as I know...

    Woot! I tried to draw you a diagram earlier, but I'm on my laptop and a horrible artist, so it looked sort of like a 3 year old scribbled on my monitor and wasn't much use. Next up: 5v regulated mod so you can join the big boys club! ^_^

    It doesn't matter if you have the positive wire to the outside or inside of the connector, just as long as you've got the other wire going to the drain. Don't feel too bad about thinking the drain was negative either, I did the same thing at first.

    They might, but you've got the mosfet backwards, and theres a chance it may have fried already. Source is ground, Drain is positive, and the gate is wired directly from the battery with a resistor wired to ground from the leg that is wired to the gate. I would pull the mosfet to be on the safe...

    Check My work Nicostick Mod

    Did you put a high ohm resistor from the gate to ground? If you don't you'll get a floating gate and the mosfet will stay in that on position. If you did, it's possible for mosfets to get stuck in the on position if you apply the incorrect polarity to them, did you ever put your battery in...

    Where Can I Get A......? dosage

    It's mg/ml, but generally simply labeled as mg. --Deeper down the rabbit hole of labeling information below-- The weight of pure nicotine is 1001mg/ml, so if you want to convert the mg/ml label to weight by volume, simply move the decimal point one place to the left. 15mg/ml = 1.5% w/v...

    Wrong, they shut me down for selling /connectors/ until I disputed it and finally got them to acquiesce that a chunk of brass is not actually an ecig or accessory. Paypals official policy is that anything e-cig related is not allowed, providing it is a US-based account. Totally wicked is a UK...

    HOW TO Make A USB Passthrough

    If he's not using a mosfet or an LED, it doesn't really matter which is positive and negative, just that he uses those two. On the enclosures, all of my passthrus use a Serpac C-4 enclosure, they are smaller than a AA battery box and come in neat colors! (translucent red, blue, green, and grey...
