    What affects draw more? Battery type or cartomizer types?

    if you want lots of thick, dense vapor, either a 3.7 volt (standard) battery with a low resistance atomizer or a 5 volt mod with a normal atomizer. Juice higher in vegetable glycerin (VG) concentration will also give more vapor. With 100% VG juice, at 5.5 volts using a standard 510 cartomizer...

    Listen to this now.. "Third-hand smoke"

    wtf does it matter? nicotine is no more harmful than caffeine, I'd be willing to bet that caffeine levels in those children were many times more than the levels of nicotine they found. maybe one of those tested really likes vegetables in the nightshade category, all of which contain nicotine...

    Suppliers...how many?

    try a bunch, then narrow down to a select few. I'm down to 2 regular vendors, with another 2 that are occasional, depending on stock of the first 2, that I pay for shipping. The good prophets store is only 20 minutes away from me, so I'll be reducing my shipping costs further.

    if you keep your tip tinned, you can just wipe that crap off on a moist sponge.

    Help with building my mod

    not a problem! But your LED should have been seeing a lot more than 27 mA. Remember: current is constant in a series circuit. So if your atty was firing properly, your LED was seeing more like 1 to 1.5 amps.

    New to modding - connector question

    dremel is the easiest way, but there is no right way, as long as you don't crush the connector (rendering it out of round) or damage the internal threads.

    Android OS Users... Geeks unite

    had an HTC fuze running xdandroid and loved it. Messed it up by looking for an external antenna port (I work in a screen room designed to keep RF signal In/Out so the amplifiers I work on don't interfere with any other projects). Now i'm back to winmo 6.5, and utterly detest it. next phone...

    Testing a Horn Button Switch Prior to Installation?

    ah, didn't realize you were the OP. In that case, what are you having difficulty with? perhaps you could draw up a picture showing how you have everything connected, and let us know what regulator you are using?

    researching for good e cigs

    if you're looking for a standard cigarette size electronic cigarette, i recommend the 510. It worked to get me off of analogs. If you don't mind extra size, check out the ego or riva. One battery should last you 6-8 hours with those, as opposed to 2-3 on a standard cigarette sized model...

    Where to buy Blu attys????

    the voltage difference does not matter to an atomizer, just the charger. A wire (the atty) does not care which direction current flows through it. any 510 style threaded atty will work. 510/306 are the most common.

    Help with building my mod

    1. Resistors are not a very good way to accomplish a lower voltage. You could try a barrel diode to drop the voltage down to 4.3ish, or an adjustable regulator. 3 amp diode 2. The reason the LED keeps burning out is because you are pushing too much current through it. You need to wire the LED...
