    touch sensor USB rechargeable Nicostick

    Ladies and gentlemen, same features as my previous mod, but now is fired by a touch sensor. No moving parts, no failures. Thanks for inspiration goes out to Nicowolf, mogur, kinabaloo and all the fine members of this forum. Runs on a Li-Ion 14500 900mAh AA battery, charger is onboard, drawing...

    USB rechargeable Nicostick

    I have further developed this project and now I am testing the touch sensor version of the above. Smaller, more efficient and eliminates the need of a button. The only part that was prone to fail. It seems that it works perfect, if it passes all tests I'll post it here.

    Batteries Lasting FOREVER!

    E-cig batteries are drained at currents 8 times higher then their capacity. It's not a big problem, but that's what sucks the life out of them. There is no other way to put a bigger capacity batt in a cigarette like housing. Camera batteries are drained at currents lower then their capacity so...

    Ruyan america launches e-mystick® rapp®

    Smart move! I'd try lobelia juice as well if it helps to reduce nicotine :D

    USB shaped metal punch?

    For plastic cases I just use a drill press holding a 3,2mm gimlet and press sideways to enlarge a hole so that a mini-USB fits.

    510 Atty Issue

    I have adapted a method proposed here on the forum (H2O2 boiling and atty burning). I get the excess liquid out of the atty, then burn the coil red hot, then throw the atty in pure PG and leave it overnight. In the morning the PG is brown, atty clean and I just need to blow the excess out and...

    USB rechargeable Nicostick

    Since you can make your own pcb's it's simple. Partlist: 1 x mini USB 5pin connector 1 x charger chip, MAX1811 or MAX1555 or MCP73831 and their needed components. Usually 2 x 4,7uF and a few resistors depending on model you choose, get that out of the datasheet. 1 x tiny pushbutton 1 x MOSFET...

    USB rechargeable Nicostick

    I've succesfully tested and used 3 different chips: MAX1811, MAX1555 and MCP73831 the last one being shown in the video and in the opened 801 mod.

    USB rechargeable Nicostick

    Thanks Sun Vaporer! The next version will incorporate a microcontroller and the atty heating profile will be changeable via computer ;) Other data will be changeable too, depends only on my imagination and memory of the chip.

    901 Manual Charging Adapters . . .

    Already ordered and shipped! The price is ok too. With the 901 adapters you get a 901 atty connector and a RN4081 atty connector ;) Too bad 510 and 4** are not available :(

    Ladies and gentlemen, here is my Nicostick mod. Thanks for inspiration goes out to Nicowolf, mogur, kinabaloo and all the fine members of this forum. Runs on a Li-Ion 14500 900mAh AA battery, charger is onboard, drawing a maximum of 500mA from the USB port, standard mini-USB connector. Better...

    'The Touch' : A touch-operated Power Stick

    Nice work kinabaloo! Would you be so kind to share the info on the MOSFET used for this? All that I find are rated at 5V+ at the gate or have a too high impedance of 2ohms or more. Edit: nevermind that, I just found some that fit into specs @ 40milliohm and working at Vgs of 2,5V I just...

    Blowing out the Attie

    You may want to blow it from the battery side so the gunk will get out faster and not be pushed to the insides of the atty. Cleaning it this way already made it better so is already prolonging it's useful lifespan. PS: The force needed to blow an atty is much higher than what a hair drier outputs.

    Totally not getting it right

    I found out that mixing the flavor first with PG then adding VG strengthens the flavor a lot. For example 5ml flavor and 20ml VG produces the same aroma as 0.5ml flavor and 20ml PG or 0.5ml flavor + 5ml PG then adding 15ml VG. As I'm not PG allergic I use mainly PG and add VG only to improve on...

    My DIY e-cigar DSE701 AC-DC power supply MOD!

    A good 1-2A supply would be a switching power supply not transformer based one. That's what you should be looking for ;) Anyway after opening a switching power supply you could find (with the help of the switching regulator chip datasheet) the voltage regulation resistor(s) and change them to...

    food coloring

    No, it wouldn't, yes tested it without inhaling, just for fun and to proove to myself that it doesn't work. Coloring will just deposit more gunk on the atty.

    cleaning atomizer's

    blowing through battery end burning with peroxide 3% 2/week burning just until red 2-3times/day offtopic: 99% it's a short circuit in the atty and you are measuring the multimeter leads, hence atty not heating up.

    Dripping BAD :(

    Then it was a champion atty! RIP Dripping not bad, it was pure coincidence.
