    What sort of usage time are y'all getting out of these?

    Milo-DNA20D mod step-by-step how-to

    Thanks, Dr G - I was thinking drilling corners, then cutting the sides with a coping saw (just inside) and filing to finish. Although, I suppose that since I'll have to order everything (and I *do* mean everything including the fender washer and mounting tape), that I could try to get a couple...

    Milo-DNA20D mod step-by-step how-to

    Right...but I don't have access to plexiglass, either. Was planning on using the front plate as shipped. Sorry, should have mentioned that, I'll edit.

    Milo-DNA20D mod step-by-step how-to

    How difficult would this build be for someone that *doesn't* have access to drill presses, routers and Dremels? Is the box flat sided? I remember seeing mention of sloping sides, but that may have been for a different box... Any specific tricks to working with the battery packs mentioned, in...

    Air Travel and the Personal Vaporizer FAQ and Blog!!!

    Oddly enough, I had more re-checks with my Provari than my homebuilt fistpack clone.

    Blue - can you repost the schematic?

    The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

    On the basis that it's easy to swap atomizer types. You want throat hit? Plug in a 510. Flavor? 801. Etc etc etc... It lets you use a single power source with whatever atomizer you like, instead of making a mod for each.

    I fail at soldering :-(

    You are operating under a misconception - since there is no movement to stress the connection, wired connections are fine.

    Voltage Drop (USB and "other") under load - How do we eliminate it?

    You could have voltage sag due to wiring, as well - use the heaviest guage wire you can get away with. I have a usb-based passthrough that runs off an a/c adapter and have to set the wallwart at 6v to get 5v under load.

    Capacitors Question

    I've seen capacitors blow the tip off a screwdriver - I'll pass on having one that close to my face.

    best 5v mini usb pass through

    99% chance you have a normally closed momentary switch vs a normally open

    made a simple 510 usb 5v passthrough

    Your variance in voltage is probably due to a power supply that is being overdriven. What are you using to power your p/t, and what atomizer do you use with it?

    Tried to make a USB passthrough. Help.

    I wouldn't say it's useless, I will say that your power supply is probably not going to last very long (in comparison to, say, a 2a supply) if you're hitting a 510 at 5v off of it.

    Discussing the NicoStick

    AA boxes won't work (14mm). A box for a "C" cell would be too deep ("C" cell is 26mm, if I recall correctly). Any sort of box pre-made for 18650 would be the Holy Grail for a lot of modders.

    Looks really nice, Isaac - best of luck to you! Any plans for an 18500 or 18650 unit?

    Tried to make a USB passthrough. Help.

    Yup, the power jack solution works too...just have to have room in the box for it. If you're making a direct-wire PT (no battery), shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

    Tried to make a USB passthrough. Help.

    Most folks aren't going to have the test rigs to get 'in the middle' to check amperage draw. Read the voltage and the resistance and you can calculate amperage. Volts divided by resistance.

    question on usb passthough

    Radio shack doesn't carry e-cig parts, sorry. There's some atomizers that you can substitute various things for the battery-side connector, but the 510 isn't one of them so far as I know. Heavens-gifts have started selling *some* modder supplies. They have a 5-pack of 510 connectors for...

    Thomas - I think you mean parallel and not series.
