    I just made a 6 Volt passthrough.

    That's because the passthrough only takes what the power supply gives it. To get 6v, you either need a 6v battery pack or a wall wart.

    Touch sensor switches

    Hey, Vaporer - thanks for the reply. Modeled your circuit at lunch - constant voltage to the atomizer. There's still something screwing about the modeling of the other circuit, as well - the voltages are all wrong when probing the circuit. Some redesign is in order, I think...just have to...

    Started Direct Dripping (Properly)

    Because there is juice in the mesh below the actual atomizer coil. By shaking it down like a thermometer and the atomizer the bulb, you're moving that trapped juice up to the coil. You can do the same thing by taking the atomizer off and blowing a puff of air through from the battery end.

    Discussing the NicoStick

    It's possible the battery is screwed - do you still get 3.7v from it? If so, then let's do a connectivity check. Take out the battery, but leave the atomizer in place. Put one lead on the negative battery terminal. Take the other lead and go from point to point checking for continuity...

    How well do 510 atties hold up at 6v?

    Breno - I my (admittedly) limited experience, the atomizers seem to perform best around 1.5a current draw - I think that is why the 510 seems to be such a fog machine, because it is consistently running 'hotter' than the others due to the lower resistance. Framitz - I measured a half dozen of...

    How well do 510 atties hold up at 6v?

    I corrected your numbers, assuming a 'standard' 2 ohm atomizer for a 510. You forgot to divide by the resistance. Still an appreciable change, regardless. For myself, I think the 510 tastes best around 4.5v - I get a couple good puffs at 5v, then it gets TOO hot and starts tasting burnt.

    Touch sensor switches

    Ok... I modifed a drawing found here to show what I *think* I should have (attached) - do you agree? Unsure if the blocking diode would be needed, I saw it recommended on another page to prevent back voltage when the power comes off the atomizer coil.

    Touch sensor switches

    Appreciate the info, vaporer - just wanted to make sure I was straight. I'm trying to figure out now how to make it where the regulator is NOT getting voltage until the FET is active. Not sure I'm even using this damn simulator software right...

    My First battery mod, aint it cute

    Great looking mod, Dan!!

    Touch sensor switches

    Appreciate the reply, Ralph - I'm playing around with modeling the circuit in a SPICE simulator, now - they only had the irf520 in the database, though

    Touch sensor switches

    Finally able to access the drawing - so, the +5 would be battery positive, and the grounds would be battery negative for our use, correct? Of course, we'd have to use a MOSFET with a heavier rating than a ZVNL110A... and I think I found one: STS6NF20V Datasheet link - what do y'all...

    What does this "C" mean

    I never disagreed that it wasn't important, just your insistence that batteries HAD to be a certain rating to work and the implication that a battery couldn't supply more amperage than it's C rating. :)

    New Modder- What tools do I need?

    Basic electronic hand tools - wire cutter/strippers, soldering iron Basic hand tools - drill / bits, needle nose pliers, side cutters Optional / nice to have - dremel, reamer (that stepped, cone-looking drill bit) Supplies - solder, superglue, epoxy putty, 22-24 ga red/black stranded...

    What does this "C" mean

    I'm glad I was able to explain it where it made sense to you - reading the different battery sites, it took a while before it really "clicked" for me. Just remember to keep amperage draw <= battery pack mAh and you'll have happy, longer-lasting batteries!!

    CR2 Battys

    I'm guessing you're using a Prodigy or similar. Assuming a 'standard' resistance for the atomizer of 3 ohms (for 801/901), that's a current draw of 2 amps every time you take a drag. At 1C (amperage draw equivalent to mAh rating), the battery will discharge in 1 hour of use. Pulling 2 amps...

    What does this "C" mean

    They'd be great for vaping, in the respect of stability - they are specifically designed for high-drain situations, with that high of a C rating. What I was talking about in the post above are the 'normal' e-cig batts. With mAh ratings from 150 - 250 mAh, we're obviously hitting them a lot...

    How to replace main On/Off switch with N.O. Switch?

    If you're replacing the switch, make sure the new switch has a safety lockout so that it can't accidently turn on.

    What does this "C" mean

    Yuppers - it's not to say it won't work, because it will - after all, the 'normal' batteries are anywhere from about 150 to 250 mAh. It's just better to have the discharge be less than 1C.

    Another one for the ladies.

    Suggestions for 5v batteries and cases

    Fo - Honestly, it's easier to get a lighter to usb converter that supplies 5v and at least 1 amp. From what I understand, the stuff that's made to charge the iphone supplies 1 amp, but I'm not positive on that, so double-check before you buy anything.
