    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    Well, since we're testing this specifically *for* batteries, they have to be used - trying to eliminate that variable when it's explicitly the purpose for higher resistance attys just won't do. The trick will just be watching the voltage on the batteries and trying to only use new ones for...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    To answer honestly: I have no idea. I'm assuming that they just added extra turns, but until the package arrives and I can inspect them, I'm not entirely sure. As for the rheostat: Yeah, you could, the whole point of higher-resistance atomizers is ease of use and assembly. Instead of trying...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    I did get a few extras for personal use and to make sure I hit the MOQs, but I'll need to wait til the order gets here and those who've already paid get theirs shipped to see how many exactly - there was an issue with the 901s and they are indefinitely backordered, so some of the extras will be...

    Who's good at Math? Calculate Voltage Drop

    You need to find the voltage drop across the first resistor to see how much voltage is applied to the second (atomizer). Current in the circuit will be the same throughout, so first calculate that: I=V/R(t) V=6v, R(total)= 4.25 I=1.411A Now we calculate the voltage across each resistor...

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

    You should see the flashlights I made with old ecig batteries that don't provide enough current anymore. Eventually everything comes full circle ;)

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    Order was shipped Monday, tracking still hasn't showed it hitting customs though. It *could* still get here Friday, but I'm expecting it early next week.

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

    A connector is just the connector, you'd use it to make something that that style of atomizer could connector to, an adapter has 2 different threaded bits on it, allowing you to screw it on to one battery and then use a different style of battery threads to screw something in to it.

    Why do companies run out of stock?

    A good chinese shipper should have you back in stock inside of a business week, I routinely order stuff on a Monday and have it show up on my doorstep Friday afternoon. Beyond that though, it has to do more with inconsistancy of orders than anything else. I'll have weeks where I get 20-30...

    Help with flashlight mod

    A single 3.7v 10440 will work fine, but yes an 18500 would work much better. Wait, original battery holder, is this a magnum? If you're putting 1 battery in the 3 battery holder and not bridging the other 2 empty contacts with wire then you won't get any connectivity at all.

    Sketch your mod w/ wiring and I'll see if theres anything that sticks out or could be a weak point thats failing.

    Do you have a voltmeter? Are you getting any voltage at all to the connector?

    usb passtrough.trying to make it...

    Straight 5v is fine, and you'll probably find you appreciate the experience much more at a higher voltage. I would recommend a powered USB hub though - you *can* burn out USB ports, most boards have protection to stop this from happening,but powered hubs are <$10, so why not be safe?

    Supporter PM inbox limit decreased?

    So I'm not sure what happened, by my PM inbox went from the 2,000 allowed messages back to 300, so now I'm sitting at over 100% full. Did the inbox increase given to supporters get revoked? Eta: Just checked my paypal account to make sure something didn't go screwy with my membership, and my...

    New FDA Target. Busy little beavers.

    In all fairness, there have been a number of people ending up with very serious if not fatal alcohol poisoning due to mixing lots of caffeine with alcohol. The depressant effects of alcohol will generally slow your drinking down as you get more and more intoxicated, mixing that with a stimulant...

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

    Sorry wamp, but the MoQ on brand new designs is prohibitively high, your best bet on that would be to find a tap/die set for the connector and thread the backend youself, then tap the threads into a nut.

    Thank you ! Modders !

    That'll be a fun reading - "Nerf? Who the hell is Nerf, and why is he getting all this stuff?!"

    Thank you ! Modders !

    I'm not saying ya'll are going to explode or anything, but IF you do.. Can I have your stuff? ^_^ Just please do initial testing inside of a plexi box with a remote switch or something.

    Homemade dremel vaporizer - Easy MOD for beginners + 510 smooth smoke info

    Amperage ratings are a maximum, not a constant value. A 5v 100A wallwart would provide the same 1.2A drawn from your ecig as a 5v 2A wallwart, you don't have to lower any power anywhere.

    No more 36 MG?

    I just dillute the liquid down to the desired strength using glycerin and flavor, I suppose it would get a bit more complex if you're using 2 different strengths of the same flavor and want a strength in between. I believe the equation you want to use is (concentration1*volume1 +...
