    HOW TO: DC Jack as 901 Fitting

    You need to dremel down the threads so that center post is roughly flush with the top of them, but it'll still look bad compared to an OEM one, and OEMs can be had for cheaper than radioshack wants these days.

    Volcano E-Cig

    I would just say make a 510 mod - If you haven't been vaping for too long you probably don't have a whole lot of volcano stuff lying around, so switching to a more popular/available model and using a bigger battery/higher voltage mod will suit you better in the long run. You'll probably find...

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

    I might consider it, if I get a chance I'll run by fry's this weekend and give them a look. They'd run about $20 tho, I don't have much time to make stuff these days so anything that needs actual assembly comes at a premium.

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    4.5 ohms is too low for 2x 3vs and way too low for 2x 3.7vs, you will get that same burnt taste you always do. I did a lot of research on these, I picked the ohmic value I did for a reason, and it turns out I was right. Edit: The 'high voltage' atomizers linked above are 2.75-3.25 ohm...

    PG or VG liquid base?

    Most all liquids are going to have some VG in them, a pure PG liquid actually has a decreased throat hit over a mix and the vapor dissipates very rapidly, the glycerin is what produces the lingering cloud of fog. I personally mix my own liquid using a research-grade pure nic+pg base, about 20%...

    eurika!! the answer to all our problems

    The problem with trying to follow a fog machine design is that they aren't designed for quick 'bursts' of fog followed by no fog. Something like a heat exchanger works great when you only need to heat it up to a temperature and keep it there, but when you need to instantly get it to temp, and...

    Finding the approriate 510 battery connector

    X: How long ago did you order 510 connectors from altsmoke? I *thought* he was selling sealed 510s these days, but I could be mistaken. As far as I know the connectors from heavens gifts are not sealed. The connectors that -I- carry for the 510 are sealed however - the center post is a solid...

    The Liquid

    In short - Yes. The higher the nicotine content of the liquid*, the better the throat hit you will get. Different flavors and mixtures will also effect the overall throat hit a great deal - a pure PG mixture will give less of a throat hit than a PG+glycerin mixture. I have personally found...

    Tried to make a USB passthrough. Help.

    The easiest way to check what your current is in this situation is to simply complete the circuit across the switch with your ammeter. Unlike a voltmeter, the ammeter must be IN SERIES with the circuit, not in parallel - this means you must open the circuit somewhere and close it using the...

    DC vs USB power

    Tact switches will handle it for a month or two before performance gets spotty. Most of those wallwarts for the USB hubs are rated at around 2A as well, as it's a 4port hub that outputs 500mA per port. If theres internal circuitry trying to limit the output per port to 500mA, it would be very...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    Funky, have you tested it with more than one ohmeter? The tolerance on these should be a lot tighter than 10%, so it's possible that the 5.6 ohm reading is a meter error. I know my cheapo DX multimeter isn't all that accurate, for example.

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

    My 510 connectors are actually sealed from the factory, there is no center hole. I've had no issues with airflow thus far and run plugged on everything.

    Awesome mod idea

    Open carry is only legal in a few states, but many of them will still cite you for things like disturbing the peace. On top of that, if its not in a holster, chances are they can still get you for brandishing. Thats not why this is a bad idea though, it'd a bad idea because at some point you...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    Yes, these higher voltage atomizers should draw roughly 30% less current than a standard 801, and about 1/2 the current of a standard 510 atomizer, which means your batteries will last much longer.

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    901s are backordered indefinitely, but I can do 510s/801s at different resistances as long as I get at least 10-20 or so of each package+resistance combo.

    Glad to hear it, if I don't find a supplier that wants to start stocking these, I'll just keep doing the group orders for us (:

    Is this safe to vape on?

    mAh is a battery rating, it's not a 'real' unit. What 2000mAh means is that you can discharge that battery at 2000mA for 1 hour until it is depleted - the reason the chinese batteries are all over-rated is because they include the 0-2.2v discharge in that hour, despite the batteries having a...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    I'd like the 901s too, I really hope the 'back ordered indefinitely' changes soon. Fortunately though, the 901 and 510 are almost identical at the same ohm rating, so I don't really feel like we're missing much. Glad to know that everyone has been happy with the custom resistance atomizers so...
