    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    Thanks progg- yea- it touches on the same ideas (glad to know I'm not alone on it) but unless I missed something, it doesn't answer the qustion.

    PS: If you use a powered USB Hub, and avoid connecting to a computer, that would be even better- I'd say your design should be fine with that...

    Phidias celebration sale

    The idea is to have some circuitry between your atty and the USB port on the computer so if your atty shorts, it won't be shorting your USB port. MOST USB passthroughs do something for you there.... The battery side is fine- What I'm suggesting is to use an atty connector at the bottom end of...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    IMO- You're not going to find that out with a precise answer - we may get some quantitative data on it, but it's a non-linear relationship. I would say my experience has been lower voltage/higher current is more efficient but that's at my settings around 8.5W-9W- I don't know if it would hold up...

    that would be ophishial... nice choice- that was my phirst. You can either a) post them on another site and link to them here (best way), or if you have no place to put them online, b)you can click on "my profile" on the top line of this page, then on the left pannel, "create album" and...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    Simple- I wouldn't call it a sweet spot. Less boost is longer run time. The efficiency is close to 95% around 3.7V, reasonably good (probably in the 80's) around 4.5V and drops another 10-15% as you get to 6V. Most people figure that out intuitively.... Keep in mind as you use the battery, its...

    We could, but then again, where would the fun be? I guess the upside would be that the server would have cycles for everyone else ;-)

    Phidias celebration sale

    Good idea but DON'T DO THAT!!!!! you'll be driving your atty straight from your USB port... If your atty shorts, do you really want to do that to your computer? Assuming your PT is something with a bit of protection circuitry in it as opposed to a set of wires, you'd be much better off...

    4 hours and 5 pages- you guys are too much.....no wonder why the server is always bussy.... @Fo- Where the F did you get brazilian rosewood from? I love it....

    Guys- there's a reason they call them xxxxFires... if one works and two don't work, Toss em.... get IMRs or if you want to go full day, get Redilasts or 2900mAh AW's... (they both use the same internal battery)- and while your buying those new batterys spend $10 on a meter so you can check...

    part 2 For storage, I dilute to 50mg/ml and put it in 30ml glass jars in the freezer... I take them out one at a time and then dilute it down more to 100 ml of what I call pre-mix - which lasts about 3 weeks - stays on the kitchen counter in a 90ml plastic squeeze bottle.... its all set with...

    re- mixicology..... Part 1 Best off line on this... essential wholesalers for VG and PG- I bought 2 16 oz containers (32 oz) of each in August- still on the first pair with about 20% left in each. Glycerin, Vegetable Propylene Glycol NIC is a bit tougher- I bought with co-ops- 90ml in VG...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    I love 3.5 306's (when I can get them) - I use them on the Phidias with stacked Tenergy LiFePO4's, and at 5.5-5.8V on the ProVari. You'll be fine with them even at full 6V and it will be hotter than your mechanical device because you are isolated from the battery fluctuations.

    None of us have numbers.... I think Michael has a list based on when we signed up as interested parties... That said, if it were up to me, I'd say your video ought to at least be worth bumping you up near the front of the list....

    1+ on aging your juice- I find it takes at least a day to develop and the flavor continues to come out over a few days - I can see letting it sit as long as a week to fully develop. Some mixtures have nothing after a day or two but taste good after a week, and others taste good after a day and...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    I think you are correct, but I also think it's really a personal thing..... might also have something to do with me dropping voltage down a bit- I tend to stay around 50%-60%VG now that I'm 100% DIY - but when I started out it was 100%PG and only bought pre-mixed flavors.... Some people care...
