    magnets and stuff

    okr's have a shielded inductor on them. It should be fine as long as your not right on top of it. I would try to stay at least a inch away from the inductor. Here is a pic of one so you know what to look for .

    magnets and stuff

    If it is a linear reg no problems. but if you have a switching regulator then you don't want to get a magnet to close to the inductor. I doubt it will break it but it for sure can affect the the operation of the regulator since inductors create their own magnetic field when juice is flowing...

    Where can I source a higher spec version of the ego-t board?

    your going to be hard pressed to find a reg that will boost to 5 amps. You can for sure run a couple batteries in series and buck down to 5 volts 4 or 5 amps. The OKr-t6 would be perfect. 5 volts 5 amps is 25 watts most of the small boost circuit modules have a 10 to 12 watt limit. So unless...

    pins for the DNA 12?

    boost circuits are the opposite. The lower the input voltage the more amps it requires to boost. You will see the highest input amps just before the battery needs to be recharged.

    pins for the DNA 12?

    4 amps at 250 volts is insaney hotter then 4 amps @ 6 volts. 6 volts 4 amps = 24 watts .....250 volts 4 amps = 1000 watts. amps and volts ratings are not separate but need to be looked at together. This is why they are both on ratings. you wont see just a 4 amp switch.There is always a voltage...

    Idea for a mod using a step-up power module. Am I nuts?

    Really it is not a good way to do it. The pot would be burning off the extra voltage as heat so it would basicly be just like a linear regulator. Really a linear reg would be better since it would be cheaper. The best way would be to just use a switching booster that has variable voltage. But if...

    Idea for a mod using a step-up power module. Am I nuts?

    bunch of mods that do this. provari lava tube darwin the new ego- twist and so on. there is a Texas Instruments module that a lot of modders in here use ptn04050c can be set up for variable voltage output. it can handle 12 watts and has better then 80% efficiency. 6000 mAh battery is going to be...

    Smallest P channel Mosfet?

    But fun soldering those things are pretty small. I often think about getting me one of those Chinese Mail Order brides With the only requirement being she has awesome soldering skillz.

    Smallest P channel Mosfet?

    The 160 ohm resistor is so the LED doesnt burn out. has nothing to do with the function of the mosfet

    Smallest battery and box

    There really isnt that much of a difference between li ion and li po batteries. If mis-used they both will blow up the same. li po's are just the next generation of li ion. The primary difference is that the lithium-salt electrolyte is not held in an organic solvent but in a solid polymer...

    The Death Knell for Lithium-Ion-powered E-Cigarettes Has Sounded?

    I dont see it happening. It might charge batteries but replacing them is a whole different story. Your not going to be able to vape directly off that device at least not on that small. It will have to be big enough to put out 2 to 3 amp on demand to vape off of. Dont get me wrong i am a huge fan...

    okr-t no output

    Resistor should only be there if your going to use the control pin with a NO switch. Instead of having the switch on the input pin wire it would be on a positive wire going to pin 1 ( control pin) . The 10k resistor pulls the pin to ground putting it in standby mode. When the switch is pressed...

    Smallest P channel Mosfet?

    P-channel or positive channel is used to switch a positive voltage on and off. Applying a Negative voltage to the gate will turn it on. A N-channel or negative channel is the opposite. It switches a negative on and off and requires a positive voltage for the gate.

    Just For LM2596 Users

    I am going to have to buy stock in Ebay if you keep buying every regulator on the site. :rickroll:

    Just wondering what you all do to fix a 510 connector?

    If it was me i would just solder a new 510 connector in the mod. I don't take mine apart to solder them if you took yours apart to solder it and can't get it back together you have to go in at a angle get one side started and then turn the center post while putting a bit of pressure on it while...

    Drip Well?

    It would be easier to just cut one out on a lathe rather then make a stamp and die. Unless you plan on mass producing them.

    Need good 18mm or smaller switch

    Just be sure not to confuse a mosfet with a voltage regulator. they look exactly the same Mosfet Voltage regulator

    Need good 18mm or smaller switch

    You dont really need a mosfet for that switch. It is more then capable of handling the amps used vaping. 48 volts 2 amps = 96 watts now lets say the working voltage is 6 volts, so 6 volts 96 watts = 6 volts 16 amps way more then enough to vape with. Really a mosfet only needs to be used if you...

    Smallest P channel Mosfet?

    smallest ones I have worked with come in the superSOT6 package. They are 1/8 of a inch by a 1/8 inch.( 3mm x3mm). http://www.fairchildsemi.com/products/discrete/pdf/ssot6_dim.pdf With the highest rated amp model being at around 6 amps. The S0-8 package are about twice as big and much easier to...

    Need a mod to make. Out of ideas.

    look around, there aint no real tree's in Tucson. Plenty of mesquite trees but those are better for cooking with then building.
