    What does this "C" mean

    Means it's one hell of a tough battery!!! "C" signifies rate of discharge. 1C is equivalent to draining or charging the battery in 1 hour. For a 900mah battery, a 1C discharge would be a draw of .9A. A 2C discharge would be 1.8A. A 15C rating means that battery can withstand a discharge of...

    Touch sensor switches

    Thanks, Vaporer - I can't access the site right now, but I'll try again later to see the schematic. Looking at the 2502 (if it's the 25C2502), that FOR SURE should handle anything we could throw at it in regards to e-cig use!!

    The frother mod project.

    That's exactly what it was - loss under load. With being able to output 2.5a @ 5v, I wasn't expecting it, but it was dropping 1.2v. Pushed it up to 6.5v output and I'm now getting matching performance @ 4.9v through the passthrough. Both the 510 and the 801 are nice at that voltage...

    Touch sensor switches

    I've asked a couple folks that have done it for some input...hopefully they'll post here with some ideas - even if it's just general specifications to give us an idea of what MOSFET or transistor to look for, and a value recommendation for the gate or base resistor it would still be a big help.

    I had kicked (and have been kicking) that idea around in my mind, myself...

    The frother mod project.

    yeah, but the regulator is giving me 4.98 and the usb through the wall wart is 5.14... it's just weird, I tell ya. Wallwart supposedly does 2.5a max at 5v.

    The frother mod project.

    No problem, glad to help - the mod looks good! The regulators that kardjunkie sent finally came in today and I converted my parallel nicostick into a series-battery stick. It seems to hit harder than the passthrough even though they're both 5v - weird.

    Following the trends, my take on the laser penstyle

    Very neat and clean, Warp - great work!!

    Modding challenge

    Yup... I just don't like having the batteries exposed, is all.

    The UPAC

    The batteries are in parallel, so it's 3.7v at 1800mah.

    Modding challenge

    I wish they still made the 4aa enclosed boxes like that - I remember some toys as a kid that had them - that seems like it would be almost perfect for modding. 3 x nimh and an atomizer with a buried, push-to-make mounting in an enclosed box would be SWEET.

    Interesting idea, Pete - I take it that's a 4aa square (looking from the top) battery holder?

    How well do 510 atties hold up at 6v?

    Hey, Nepenthy - I forgot to mention that I'm using an adjustable wall-wart to provide the power, so I don't have to worry about possibly burning out the USB port on the computer. You're absolutely correct that USB from the computer would be 5v. The passthrough is homemade, so it goes...

    How well do 510 atties hold up at 6v?

    You're very welcome - it's not that the 16340 won't work, because obviously it does - it about longevity and stability, that's all.

    How well do 510 atties hold up at 6v?

    Capacity is directly related to the "C rating" - an 18650 at 2400mah can take up to 2.4 amps current draw without breaking a 1C discharge rate. A 16340 at 880mah can only provide 0.88 amp without breaking a 1C rate. So, with an atomizer drawing 1.5 amps of current, an 18650 will be more...

    How well do 510 atties hold up at 6v?

    510 runs fine at 6v 5v- I've been using one in a passthrough for about 3 weeks. 801 has held up fine for the last 2 weeks. (*I beg your pardon - just realized that my wallwart that powers my passthrough is set to 5v, not 6v - please disregard my statement above except for 5v longevity.) Re...

    My Doctor's Appt.

    What a great story!!! At my last checkup, a month after starting vaping, my bp was down 25 points systolic and 20 points diastolic and my resting pulse rate was down 5 - I'm not griping!!
