    510 sealed battery connectors?

    Just solder them shut. Problem solved. You also get the bonus of increased contacts surface if you solder the wire inside the center post.

    4.2V to 6V, 1800mAh, USB rechargeable Nicostick

    Wait till you see my next move! It's a user settable 4,0 to 6V, constant vapor machine. The same amount of vapor you like throughout the whole battery charge.

    Nicostick Passthrough vs Nicostick 5V (box)

    1000mAh won't be enough, a 510 tends to draw 2000mAh at 5V. If it's a good adapter it will survive. If it's cheaply made it could catch fire! Let me try to interpret it: Both setups, PT and box mod. under load means while vaping them Edit: WillyB, your post wasn't there when I wrote this :D

    Best 18650 protected battery?

    Usually the Ultrafires and Spiderfires and Trustfires and SureFires are all much more less then the advertised capacity. Most of the under 2400 mark hold less then 2000mAh. The Ultrafire 3000 and Trustfire 2400 in red and black seem to be the best you can buy from DX. Both are very near to...

    Nicostick Passthrough vs Nicostick 5V (box)

    The box mod tries to pump 5V and 2Amps in the 510 and if well built also manages to do so. The PT mod also tries to pump 5V but at around 0,5Amps (if using USB port) or at least under 1,5A (if using some 5V power source) stops, faring just better then standard fully charged batts without being...

    4.2V to 6V, 1800mAh, USB rechargeable Nicostick

    Exactly that! If you look only at the first page of the datasheet, it states 1A max recommended forward current and you are very correct! At 4,2V a 510 draws about 1,5A, the diode is safe! Not on spec, but not endangered either.

    4.2V to 6V, 1800mAh, USB rechargeable Nicostick

    USB charging PCB is the same old one I used in all my mods, self-made. TI regulator was bought from farnell.com As I told peaceoffcake, homemade. Just like in the classic nicosticks I did. TI voltage regulators can be set to different voltages using a resistor (from 5V to 18V). For 4,2V you...

    4.2V to 6V, 1800mAh, USB rechargeable Nicostick

    Features: - 1800mAh (2 x 14500 900mAh Li-Ion) - constant voltage throughout battery life - settable between 4,2V (as a freshly charged Li-Ion) or 6,5V (maximum recommended) - 510 connector and adapters - USB recharging at 500mA per hour (around 4,5hours for a full recharge) First step -...

    Check My work Nicostick Mod

    If it's fully on at a Vgs of 3V, has less then 100mOhm resistance and is good for 3A you have a winner there. Integrated ESD body diode is highly recommended if you plan to touch that component without grounding yourself.

    Looks good, go for it!

    Building my big battery mod

    Voted for 510. Most vapor at stock voltage. A big plus is the connector, with adapters you only add 3-4mm to the total length so it's also the best starting connector.

    DC vs USB power

    Unless that wall adapter is rated at more then 2Amps you are far better off and safer using the PT battery as standard inline. Usually those wall adapters are rated at 500mA, but mostly a 400mA current draw will burn them. Attys tend to draw in excess of 1500mA at 5V so chances are very slim...

    cutting the battery out of a 510 passthrough

    Check the black wires by connecting them to the battery to see the proper orientation then to the other USB cable.

    Are black 510s better than other colors?

    The original Joye510's seem to be the best, from these the matte black ones last longer and have better and constant vapor production in time. I've only tried white and shiny metal besides matte black. Don't have any logical explanation, I've just noticed.

    cart filler european names?

    You should be able to find Fluval and Juwel filters at pet stores, at least these I've seens constantly through europe. Best IMO is still the Lipton mod. In europe, at least from what I've seen (of course not exhaustively) only green tea and white tea seem to have the correct pyramid material...

    Just got my KR808 today

    First, throat hit on auto batteries is not the best. AFAIK KR808's have a 5sec. cutoff too so that does not help either. I can use cartos only at 5V. It's seems to be their sweet-spot. Regarding the Protege, I think you may have a bad battery charger. That explains why its performance decreased.

    odd problems with 905...

    Looks like the top part (with the atty connector) suffered a short or the electronics are fried. Hence the powerful burnt smell and atty activation. Simplest method: buy just the top part as a spare. I saw it in a few online stores. PM me if you can't find it.

    Idea for automatics, compartmentalize switch or move it to the atty.

    Janty has the Dura-C if I'm not mistaken. Batteries, manual and auto switch, atomizers. Manuals should be sealed anyway, there is no need for the central hole anymore (except KR808 maybe). You can seal it yourself with a tiny blob of lead-free solder if they are not already sealed. There is...

    Dekang Juices

    Never had a problem with Dekang juices... last order came in yesterday from China, all were fine. I have opened bottles since may and they still taste fine. You know there is always a possibility with the new child proof bottle caps that the vendor can slip other juices in the bottles... I'd...
