    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    It's not the size of the coil thats causing them to pop, it's the fact that these atomizers were designed to handle 5 watts or less, and at 7.4v you're looking at cranking out 12-15+ watts, thats a lot more heat than they were designed for. We can reduce that wattage via voltage regulation, but...

    Doublepost, I'm bad at the internet.

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    I don't think it'd matter either way, it seems like from most testing people have determined the weak point has always been the solder joint, not the the wire itself separating under heat. Moreso, increasing the resistance isn't necessarily a means to make atomizers 'last longer', but get a...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    I'd be more than happy to do the calculations for people who don't trust their own math as well, I'll just need to know what wattage you want and what voltage you're running. A 901 passthrough should be pushing about 7.2 watts for comparison. A 510 on batteries is about 7 watts as well. A...

    Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

    So, I was talking to one of my chinese suppliers the other day, and found out that I can get atomizers of any resistance from 3 ohms and up in 901, 801, 510 or 401 packages. Basically, this means instead of trying to cater the voltage to the atomizers, you can cater your atomizer to whatever...

    mod supply store?

    Just as a quick note, sometimes my connectors come with wires presoldered, sometimes they don't, if you need the wires soldered on at a specific length, I'll do it for $1 per - if I've got connectors on hand with the wires presoldered and the 3/4-1" or so is fine, theres no additional charge.

    Did I find 75mg liquid?

    I'm not aware of anywhere to get 60mg that has a guaranteed purity. TW's PI is 54mg/ml, Blip has 38/56/75mg/ml, all of the other options involve chinese liquid and unknown purity. I'd order pure stuff even if 36mg/ml was the highest it went - it's not the strength that gets my money (but it...

    Vaporless Recipe?

    A pure PG mix will produce VERY little visible vapor on exhale - if you puff and blow the cloud will appear and stick around for a second, but after inhaling it into your lungs and exhaling theres barely anything showing, it looks sort of like foggy breath on a cool (but not cold) morning...

    Did I find 75mg liquid?

    Damn Scottes, thats an awesome chart, I knew I was saving money, but didn't know exactly how much. The one thing I would highlight though is what was mentioned above - we have no idea whats in Chinese e-juice, and while the bulk stuff may be cheaper, the purity is of unknown origin. As far as...

    Looking for Nerf...or how might one...

    Using 2 3.7v batteries in series will destroy this unit, as its max Vin is only 5.5v.

    Looking for Nerf...or how might one...

    Ground (negative battery) to the 1, positive to the one directly below it. Voltage out (5v positive wire) is the one adjacent to the 1, top right corner. You can leave the #3 pin alone, and I'd be very careful boosting above 5 volts. The unit is only designed to handle 12 watts, and 6v on a...

    Share your Soldering Tips Here

    I haven't the irons sears carries, but your best bet is to return and it order a good adjustable soldering station - either a Hakko or a Weller. Should be able to find em online for $50-70, and the replacement tips for both are plentiful and quality. I got my hakko station at fry's for like...

    Whose got cheap straight nicotine liquid?

    I get all my juice from bliplabs.com now, it's nothing but PG and nicotine and the purest stuff I've found. No bitter beer taste/aftertaste, nothing to mask. 30ml of the 38mg/ml stuff (3.8%) is running about $20, and they have strengths up to 75mg/ml available. The 75mg is an experience...

    LED and resistor

    The 100 and 150 resistors @ 4.2v will be pull more than 1/8th of a watt (176mW for the 100 ohm), so try to either stick with the 220s or go up to a 1/4 watt resistor. The 220 is pulling 76mW, so you're good to go with a 125mW (1/8W) resistor there. As a rule of thumb, if you're getting close...

    Share your Soldering Tips Here

    Your iron isn't hot enough, when you get the connector hot enough you'll see the solder 'flow' around the wire into a little puddle. Using flux you'll get it to grab right away but theres a definite seam and it'll break off with the slightest tug.
