    Smoke free...

    Don't consider 1 cigarette starting over, everyone slips up. Some because they feel like they need one, others, because they haven't had one in a while and are curious. No one is here to judge, because we have all been there. Just pick up that pv everytime you have a craving, and chalk it up as...

    Touch switch?

    Got it working with the ptr08100w switching regulator, touch the electrode (1/4" square piece of tinned copper foil) and the reg turns on, let go, turns off. Sent from my MSM using Tapatalk

    Touch switch?

    The amtel chip works alone in a breadboard, using an LED as a load. However, I can't get the sensitivity high enough to use as a proximity switch, still have to touch the electrode. Ill have to play around with the cap values and electrode size to tune it to sense through a plastic box. The...

    Using theatrical fog machine juice in an E-cig?

    Joe, michael's on lititz pike (by the giant they just remodeled) has wilton 100% USP vegetable glycerin, 2 oz bottles for only a few bucks each. It's in the cake section, on the left side of the store, towards the front.

    Touch switch?

    That's what I was afraid of. Got the atmel chips and the ptr08100 in today, waiting on a shipment from mouser, then the build will begin. Hopefully Monday. I'm also thinking about ditching the inhibit pin, and using a MOSFET as a switch between the cap and regulator, to minimize the 1 mA...

    Touch switch?

    I saw that during my search. I ordered 5 of the amtel chips today, 85 cents each, along with some sot-23 to DIP breakout boards to make the chips easier to work with. If I can get it to work, I'm planning a mod using two sensors and an and gate. The mod won't fire unless your hand is in vaping...

    Touch switch?

    Good point, and to the response, good solution. Lifepo batteries could work, I'm not too big on small mods, I like something with some size, they are more comfortable to hold. Sent from my MSM using Tapatalk

    Touch switch?

    did not get the chip yet, I used the rated outputs of the chip (Voh = 2.3 volts, Vol = 0.5 volts) on the inhibit pin of the PTR08100W, and the regulator functioned as intended. I'll probably order a few different cap values, as the value of Cs affects sensor sensitivity. That way, I can...

    Touch switch?

    I stumbled upon a new version of the original chip: AM42QT1010 the max on duration has been raised to 60 seconds, but I think with a 555 timer, could be reduced to under 10 seconds to avoid carto/atty damage. I tested the evercool tonight, with the outputs of the mentioned chip, the PTR08100W...

    ive glanced at his thread, haven't (yet) taken the time to scour it for information, thanks!

    Touch switch?

    well, went to order the chip, digikey is now out of stock :-( looks like I'll have to work on a MOSFET version instead. Thanks for the link blue!

    Touch switch?

    wow no takers? Talked to a coworker yesterday, the QT118 should be able to be used with nothing more than a cap and a ground plane, with the output going straight to the inhibit pin of the regulator. I'll end up ordering two in the next week or so and breadboard it, so verify that it will work...

    Really good Tobacco-ish flavor?

    i second this. If i were to start buying juice again, instead of DIY, this would be first on the list.

    E-Cigarettes Banned on Domestic Flights, Reports ASH

    if you can't wait a few hours for nicotine, a half bottle of nyquil does the trick. Worked beautifully on the flights to and from kuwait (12 hours or so). Stealth vaping is fine, but when it could be considered a flight risk, or any type of security concern (in the eyes of ignorant...
