    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    Yeah... a 360mAh battery getting hit for at least a 5C discharge rate...ouch!!

    Testing the resistance of the entire mod

    Build a wheatstone bridge... then tear your hair out trying to get it all balanced!!!

    The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

    There's plenty of examples to support my point - was there a specific reason for the ritualistic ****-measuring, or did I just catch you at a bad moment? FFS, I never said it was going to instantly vaporize and punch a hole into an alternate dimension...calm down.

    Homemade dremel vaporizer - Easy MOD for beginners + 510 smooth smoke info

    Ok, so you were stating your opinion - the way you wrote it, it seemed that you were stating it as fact. That's off actual voltage/resistance readings from OEM equipment; a 3.7v battery and atomizers ranging from 2.0 to 2.3 ohms. 3.7 volts into 2.3 ohms equals 1.6087 amps 3.7 volts...

    Testing the resistance of the entire mod

    The only way the body construction is going to make a difference is if there is an appreciable difference in resistance. Given the lengths of material used for the different mods, I'd expect the spring material making the negative connection to make more of a difference than anything else.

    He said 100A, not 100ma.

    Homemade dremel vaporizer - Easy MOD for beginners + 510 smooth smoke info

    Volts/amps are fine. Telling someone to add resistors to the atomizer in their 5v mod until it reads 4 ohms is no different than telling them to put their power at 6.25 watts, and a whole lot easier for them to figure out because all they need is a multimeter and to remember "4 ohms"...

    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    You need more battery capacity - it's hitting the battery for a LOT more amperage than it can supply in a stable manner and it's overheating. I'd recommend two AA size lithiums at a minimum, assuming you have the ripple capacitors in place as recommended in the datasheet for the 4050C. If not...

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    Ding ding ding...I do believe we have a winner, folks!! I'm 99+% sure that's your culprit. I don't have a multimeter to check mine to verify, I'll have to do it tonight and post back.

    The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

    The little 50ma switches have a hard time standing up to 30-40 times their design amperage (1.5 - 2 amps, which is not unusual for e-cigs).

    1 + 1 = ...0? (my first mod)

    Nicely done!

    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    Can't speak for the 901's as I've never tried them, but the 801's ROCK at 5v.

    How to make USB Passthrough?

    Sounds like you've got a high-resistance connection in there somewhere - lets go back through it step by step. Take the atomizer off. Put the common lead (black) on the atomizer threads (outside of atomizer connector). Put the red lead on the supply side (USB cable side) of the switch...

    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    The regulator is only supplying 5v. Depending on your atty, you may get stronger flavor or a bit of a burnt taste, depending. Make sure you give the atomizer a second to heat up before you start your drag (like a 'primer puff' on an auto battery).

    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    7805 cuts off at 7v. TI UCC 283-5 regulator cuts off at 5.5v. You get more 'vape time' using the 283-5.

    Suggestions for 5v batteries and cases

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/33729-touch-sensor-switches-7.html#post562842 That's one schematic. You'd put your momentary switch in place of the two circles above the 47k resistor.

    It'll work fine if you use it to trigger a MOSFET.

    Battery/Mod problem

    You obviously weren't holding your mouth right, before!! :p

    My first HV mod! But questions about 5v regulators.

    When the dropout voltage is reached, the regulator stops passing voltage. You can put it either between the battery and switch, or between the switch and atomizer. Most people choose the latter so that the regulator isn't constantly taking juice from the batteries.
