    Laser Pointer mod Guide

    The switch is located under the connector on the auto batteries - the connectors are all the same for allowing airflow, with the exception of the 510, some of them will have a hole, some will be sealed.

    Compressed Air Cleaning

    I made a re-circulating pump to cycle lemon juice through an atty awhile back, while it did clean it amazingly well, I ended up screwing up the very fragile insulating bushing for the center post and the atomizer never worked again - I couldn't even use it to make an adapter. Be careful using...

    Oh boy!!! DIY parts from Chinese suppliers....

    While I can appreciate that (and would really like to get rid of the connectors I have on hand), I started selling connectors because people needed access to them. Now that there are several options both stateside and in China, I'm no longer needed, and as thin as I've kept my margins trying to...

    Help! I just killed TEN 901 Atty's! Best Atty?

    I've been a big fan of the bestecig atomizers for a long time - BE is their own manufacturer and they just seem to crank out a higher quality product. I often get a month or more out of an atomizer switching between 3.7v mods and straight 5v USB. BestEcig-Newest Mini...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    Weird, I could have sworn I replied to this but I can't find the post. The answer is: I don't know ^_^ I would start out at 2x 3v batteries and a low-ish nicotine solution and see how it vapes, if you find it's not enough, step it up to the 2x 3.7v batteries and same solution, and see if...

    Funky, I can give you the customs form#, sometimes tracking works for it, sometimes it doesn't. I'll PM you the info.

    Yeah, you need a switch in there somewhere unless you feel like unscrewing your atomizer every time you're not vaping or unplugging the cable/usb hub. Switches are easy to wire in though. I would try to find one that can handle at least 2.5A of current - tactile switches are only rated for...

    Is this safe to vape on?

    This a thousand times, it needs to be stickied in big bold letters. Amperage ratings on a power source are a MAXIMUM rating (and theres some wiggle room), not the amount supplied. Amperage (current) is determined by how much voltage you are applying to your load, and how much resistance the...

    You can also just make your own USB battery pack with an 18650 or 2 in parallel wired directly to a USB female plug. You should get 1-3 days out of a single 18650.

    You'd need a charging circuit for the battery, and you'd just be vaping off of the battery, this is how most commercial passthrus are setup. An easier way to do it if you're worried about frying your computers USB ports is to simply buy a wallwart-powered USB hub. Fry's has em for about 10...

    I think theres a writeup around here somewhere for doing just that, but worst case scenario is a trip to radio shack and $4 in parts.

    Its not so much a 'better' way as that way will explode your battery - theres really no way to 'fix' that charger unless you can see a resistor or something on the PCB shorted and you can replace it. Your best bet is to make a passthrough, same concept, but use a battery connector and a switch...

    I hope you didn't just run straight usb wire to the connector, you'll explode your battery pretty damned quick that way.

    Laser Pointer mod Guide

    Your best bet, even on the old lasers, was to scrape all of the traces off of the PCBs and solder directly to the leg of the switch not connected to the spring. If you accidentally scrape the trace between the opposite leg and the spring, just run a wire to the very bottom of the spring and use...

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

    The 901s I've got on hand already have a 3/4" or so wire soldered onto the outer edge of the center pin on the bottom side. You could either splice that if you need longer, or just replace it altogether. I wouldn't worry about airflow though - I personally always seal the center connection so...

    Oh boy!!! DIY parts from Chinese suppliers....

    Without trying to sound like a **** or self-serving, I would caution anyone on those 510 connectors without testing them first. I recognize the manufacturer and those particular 510 connectors had issues with the center post grounding out when I tried them. Their other ones should be fine, and...

    I think lifepo4 can discharge at a higher rate than liion, as for 6v for 7.4v, I don't really think theres going to be a difference, and if we all find that perfect wattage/ohm rating/etc, we can tweak it so that an atomizer for each voltage is available instead of one for both. I tried to find...

    Do these work as CR123's?

    Whichever of the battery sites is actually tenergy used to have the coupon code 'tenergydeals' which gave free shipping on orders over $25 or $30. I just can't remember which of the US battery sites is actually tenergy's retail site.
