For...

    If the polarity was correct was it being overvolted. What is the voltage rating on the caps.

    My First Pulse Width Modulator Mod

    Yeah 0603's are small. I wouldnt even try it without a magnifine glass or what i use is a visor like these But i am old as hell and dont see quite as good as i did in my younger days. Even so I think you would go blind pretty quick trying to solder those with out one.

    My First Pulse Width Modulator Mod

    I have found that if you have a nice ice cold beer handy it will cool your fingers down really quick in situations like yours. This is why i consider Ice cold beer a necessary mod tool. I been trying to get the the 555 to work off a P channel mosfet with no luck so far. Supossidly if you...

    HOW TO Make A USB Passthrough

    Yeah that would for sure work. yes as long as it has the amps to power a atomizer. 2 amps and your good to go 3 amps is even better if you can find one that high. Bad thing is most those chargers are 500mA and thats just not enough to power a atomizer. Here is my PT

    Getting Started with modding (electronics)

    I got me one of these rework stations. Mainly so i can do those pesky chips with the pads on the bottom but the pretty LED read outs were also a plus Besides that a mini lathe and mill are helpful. Then of course lots of cold beer and some good inspirational tunes like paint my masterpiece...

    Why mod?

    Variable voltage would have to be the main one for me. Being able to dial in a perfect voltage with what ever juice i happen to be using at the time. Also gives you the ability to change the voltage with the atomizer or carto your using , even when i have have bought a batch of atomizers i will...

    My First Pulse Width Modulator Mod

    If the diode is backwards it will do that. Even if it stays latched you should be able to adjust the output. My money is on the diode.

    My First Pulse Width Modulator Mod

    Yeah Rat Shack is over priced for a lot of their stuff unless your lucky and they have a bulk package of what you need.The prices on bulk are usually not too bad. 2 bucks for a 555 that i could get at digikey for 40cents but i have a RS less then a mile from me so it does come in handy at times...

    Easy OKR-T VV mod

    That will for sure charge a couple 18650's in series. The Charge controller is built into the adapter. Wont hurt the charger or regulator to vape off it while charging. But it might kick the charger into overload protection. If that happens it might reset itself or you could possibly have to...

    New battery idea

    It has a super cap or caps in it. For vaping we would need a pretty big PV .Plus super caps tend to be lower voltages so more then likely going to take two stacked. They also kinda pricey for the bigger ones. I will take a look and see if they have come down in price at all. Maybe i will design...

    HOW TO Make A USB Passthrough

    It would be easy to do. Problem is once you slap a regulator on 5 volts you have to account for Drop out voltage. Even the best LDO reg your going to get around .5 volts of a drop, max output voltage would be 4.5volts. So in the end your not going to get it to go to 5 volts output if you wanted too.

    Mini Mod w/top switch

    Yeah they discontinued them. When i got mine it was on clearance for cheap i think 19 bucks 24 shipped. That was almost a year ago. I dont know of anything else like it out there. Just did some looking a guy has one on ebay bundled with some other stuff. More then i would want to pay though. I...

    My First Pulse Width Modulator Mod

    This is what i did to get 50% adjustment at the top end in 25% of a turn of the pot. Put a Jumper across R2 or eliminate it if your working on a bread board . Take R1 out and slap in a diode pointing towards the pot. Then slap in a 100K pot . Now the problem is i doubt we want full power out...
