    Testing a Horn Button Switch Prior to Installation?

    transfer soldering?!?!?! OH NO!!!! j/k as we aren't building mil-spec components, transfer soldering is fine. this is strictly forbidden, however, at my job.

    Vaping, and your car

    i also have buildup on my windshield. I have not gotten around to cleaning it, but I am fairly certain it is an oily buildup, and will appear clear when I do finally clean it. It is really only noticeable when light shines through the windshield, such as direct sunlight, or passing headlights...

    Testing a Horn Button Switch Prior to Installation?

    any type of metal you can clamp on to the leads between where you are soldering, and the component. Alligator clips are commonly used. Alligator clip from r-shack

    What do you miss?

    I miss the social aspect of it, the "smoke breaks" and the alone time while I was out on said smoke breaks (my wife doesn't smoke). but i DON'T miss smoke breaks in 20 degree weather.

    DIY pass through

    OP: looks great, but more importantly, as long as it works, there is not a whole lot to complain about, right? I tend to shoot for function before form. lol I can relate, mine was a 510 battery connector soldered to a BNC cable that I powered via lab power supplies at work. Ultimate variable...

    Why Are 510 Atomizers So Popular?

    I just received an 801 atty with adapter to 510 threads, and I have to say, i get more throat hit with it than I do with either 510 cartos or a 306 atty at 5.5 (loaded) volts. I'm waiting for ikenvape to have high voltage 510 atomizers back in stock, and then I'll probably order one, along with...

    How many $$$ spent to find the perfect mod (or vape)?

    $50 for the starter kit $20 for first 5v box mod $25 for variable voltage box mod, this is where I ended up. Any money spent from now on is just building variations of the aforementioned box mod. I also always look for the next greatest thing, fortunately, I can design/build it instead of...

    Intro post/ DIY issues

    Are you using a 2 mL pipette pump to measure? When I started DIY, i was making 3 mL batches using a syringe and found it IMPOSSIBLE to measure precisely enough to hit the target amounts I was looking for, until I started using a pipette pump. Precision becomes more and more important as the...

    Intro post/ DIY issues

    missed the mark a little, she is making her own juice, wondering about lack of vapor production in her DIY juice, not diluting a premanufactured juice. what flavor are you using?

    So what IS high voltage vaping all about? (Everything you've wanted to know plus a bit of electronic theory)

    to me, it's convenience. I use cartomizers that have 3.2 ohms of resistance. They SUCK when using a 3.7 volt device, but at 5.5 volts they are awesome. I make DIY juice, and it's tough to justify using a new cartomizer for each new flavor I make, so I test them with atomizers. If I were to...

    help me! master power LED blows!

    if you put the positive lead on the positive battery terminal and the negative lead on the atty connector, you will have an open, unless you have the master on/off switch on, and the "vape" switch depressed. Not sure what you are trying to test here. What value of resistor and what color LED...

    help me! master power LED blows!

    LED needs to be tied in to the positive wire between the master switch and the "vaping" switch. I would probably strip a small section of this wire and solder one lead of the resistor to it. The other lead of the resistor goes to the cathode (+) of the LED, and the annode (-) of the LED goes to...

    Any beer "snobs"/home brewers out there?

    I'm with you on the Sam Adams, BMC is my absolute last choice. Does the homebrew you mention use cascade hops? They are known for imparting a citrusy nose/taste. How is smuttynose? I've been meaning to pick up a sampler case for months now and have not gotten around to it.

    Flavor of the day.....Just for fun...

    DIY Vanilla Bean Ice Cream/Menthol blend. Delicious. Will be my daily vape until I finish the rest of this 30 mL bottle I whipped up, then another concoction. I don't follow recipes, or record them, just mix til I enjoy the result. After a 30 mL bottle, it's on to something new, with the old...

    How long did it take you to give up the cig style

    1.5 weeks. At that point, started modding. Next mod: waterproof, crush proof box mod with touch sensors. Two touch sensors to be exact, with no on/off switch. One sensor for the hand, the other for the "give me vape" sensor. Will not turn on unless your hand is in vaping position, and finger is...

    Any beer "snobs"/home brewers out there?

    If so, what's your favorite? (bud/miller/coors fans need not reply) Mine is Troeg's Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale. I'm a huge brown fan. I LOVE malty beer, but I'm not against a good hoppy IPA (Dogfish's 90 minute is my current favorite, their 60 minute is a little too astringent for my tastes)...

    Mosfet for VV mod?

    I have successfully fired a regulator using an IRF4905. It's a P-channel enhancement, so the gate voltage needs to be lower, not higher than drain voltage.

    Lower voltage passthrough??

    use a diode instead of a resistor. two of these wired in series should help quite a bit, dropping your voltage down to roughly 3.6

    Buying 14500 batteries locally?

    i believe radio shack sells them, but they are like $15 to $20 apiece
