    look on the box, i believe they list the resistance on a sticker, probably says something like "510D 3 Ohm"

    Mosfet for VV mod?

    N/C switch is exactly like a N/O switch, except it is normally closed. Just put it in series with the inhibit pin to ground, no different than putting a N/O switch from the batteries to the input pin.

    DIY vs E-Liquid

    DIY is far superior, once you get a few recipes you like. There is a bit of a learning curve. Most of the juices I made for the first month were just ok. But now that i've been doing it for 4 months or so, I have a recipe or 2 that I have settled on for a daily vape. Just mixed up 30 mL's of it...

    Mosfet for VV mod?

    by produce an output, i meant, several volts, enough to fire an atty. This has happened to me several times when trying to implement a MOSFET on the ground of a regulator. 10 mA is significant when dealing with battery life, enough to discharge a set of batteries overnight if the device is...

    Mosfet for VV mod?

    the problem with this is, in my experience, the PTR08100W, and other regulators (LM317, LM 350's) still produce an output with a floating ground.

    Mosfet for VV mod?

    Someone made some purchases at radioshack.....I have a similar mod in each of those boxes, using their rare-earth magnets to fasten the lid as well. I also removed the screw posts from opposite corners to make room.

    PTR08100W Mod Box

    good idea :-) and like I said before, you could always use 1 battery and a boost converter to raise voltage. Since you would only have 1 battery, you could charge in the mod, as long as the battery was able to be isolated from the rest of the circuit.

    Brand new cartos tasing burnt????

    i have also found boge's to be the best performers, after trying almost every type out there. The SLB's tend to burn after a few drags, I suspect poor wicking. With the boge's, I can fill, vape nonstop until empty, refill and repeat, and never taste burnt filler. Cigtechs or litecigusa both...

    Joye Brand 510 Cartomizer Killed my battery

    I am an electronic technician for a military contractor, and in school for electrical engineering. The workmanship of the batteries is terrible. Cold solder joints, cracked solder joints, improper filletts, flux remaining all over the board, improperly stripped wire, etc.

    Dangers of Li-Ion cells check out these: 2200 mah 7.4v LiPo battery pack Balancing LiPo/NiMH charger keep in mind, though, that the most safe way to charge li-ion cells is either 1 at a time, or in parallel. The more you stack, the more unsafe it becomes.

    Joye Brand 510 Cartomizer Killed my battery

    was most likely just a fluke. Those batteries are junk anyway (not just battery life, the quality of manufacturing). I've been using cartos almost from day 1 and have never had a carto related problem.

    Gold Label Juice?

    4 wheel drive won't help much in ice, just snow. The key to driving in the snow is slow, fluid movements. Don't do anything quickly. Be gentle with the gas, AND the brakes. Don't turn too fast, and give yourself PLENTY of time to stop. Who cares if the a hole behind you is tailgating you...

    PTR08100W Mod Box

    Li-Ion Charging Information you, sir, are playing with fire, literally. Protection circuits do not always work, and if one should fail while not being monitored, you could have a fire/explosion on your hands. Most chargers are current limited and voltage limited. They signal that the batteries...

    7 second cutoff for mods?

    Might be a moot point to most, but if you leave it on overnight, the batteries will be dead. That 1 mA of current will kill a battery in roughly 10.5 hours, with no vaping. That's using the inhibit pin to keep the regulator off. With the touch sensor IC running at 2 volts, in LP mode, it draws...

    PTR08100W Mod Box

    does the charger automatically stop charging in overvoltage/overcurrant situations? or are you relying on the protection circuits of the batteries? Also, from what you describe, you are charging the batteries in series, correct?
