    Flashing LED on low battery?

    Then why doesn't the same battery cause the led to blink when powering a linear regulator? Sent from my MSM using Tapatalk

    D2Pac,LDO 5 volt,3amp regulator with control pin. From Mad Vapes (the one with 5 pins).

    Just some advice, throw another switch in there, an on/off slide switch. The momentary button you have will fail eventually. Additionally, without another switch, accidental button pushes could destroy your atty, or worse, start a fire. And use the control pin. Using it, the switch you use to...

    10 reasons you eGo sucks compared to my volcano/elite/bu

    My mod is better than your ego because it is 92% efficient at 5.5 volts, and has a built-in passthrough, meaning I only have to charge my 14500's once a week :-p Sent from my MSM using Tapatalk

    10 reasons you eGo sucks compared to my volcano/elite/bu

    We need a nuclear engineer to design a reactor small enough to fit in a 510 battery, the atomizer will be thin tubing, and superheated water will pass through it. Then the holy-grail of e-cigs will come to fruition. Sent from my MSM using Tapatalk

    Flashing LED on low battery?

    I was thinking that it had more to do with an increased regulator duty cycle because it is unable to meet the vout specified, because the li-ion voltage is too low. They don't blink on my mod with a linear regulator, and the trustfires I got from an american vendor don't blink either, even...

    Help wiring 3 pin adjustable regulator.

    Creative wiring is your friend. The ptr08100w has a footprint about the same size as a standard to-220 package (lm317 style). The board I made for mine is no wider than an lm317, and including the regulator, is about as long as 2 of them. I know you want something as small as possible, but...

    Help wiring 3 pin adjustable regulator.

    why does it need to be 3 pin? Mouser look for a part that meets or exceeds the following specs: Vin min: 6 volts or less Vin max: greater than 8 volts Vout: adjustable from at least 3-6 volts Iout: at least 2 amps the reason that the LM317 heats up so much is because it is rated for a max...

    questions about wiring a vv mod and finding parts

    attached is a VERY crude schematic of a basic regulator in use. To make it adjustable, R2 is replaced with the potentiometer. Values depend on the regulator being used.

    questions about wiring a vv mod and finding parts

    that is correct. A standard 5 volt regulator has 3 pins: Vin, Vout, and Ground. An adjustable has those three, and also has a Vadj, which you use in conjunction with a voltage divider (which is just 2 resistors, in this case, one fixed value, the other is the potentiometer). The resistance set...

    questions about wiring a vv mod and finding parts

    you're looking for an adjustable regulator, preferably switching (they are more efficient) with Vin of 6 volts min, Vout of 3-6 volts, and Iout of at least 2 amps. Additionally, you will need a potentiometer, or some type of variable resistance device, to adjust voltage. I'll direct you to the...

    Help wiring 3 pin adjustable regulator.

    Better be using a heat sink, the lm317 gets HOT you don't NEED caps, just resistors to set the voltage. To be honest, id look at using a different regulator. It can be done, but it is extremely inefficient. And in order to keep it cool, I needed to attach it to a to-220 heat sink, and use a...

    E liquids maturing faster?

    I agree, I sure as hell don't wait a week to taste my diy, but I do find that the flavor changes over time. Its not really noticeable unless you don't vape it for a period though. If I make a flavor and vape right away for a week straight, I don't notice much of a change, because it is gradual...

    An intelligent MOD? Coming Soon "Darwin"

    I have an idea on who the engineer is, variable, self-adjusting power is an idea we discussed some months ago... That being said, can't wait to see the mod is implemented. Sent from my MSM using Tapatalk

    Touch switch?

    For anyone following this, qt118 (charge-transfer touch sensor) appears to be suitable for use with the evercool circuit. It features a 10 second time-out function, useful for accidental fires, would prevent destruction of an atty/carto. It uses ground plane (can be made with a piece of copper...

    Mod Tools

    Definitely need to throw an x-acto knife in there You will need a tube of good epoxy as well, I highly recommend 3m's scotch-weld dp-110, stuff is like concrete once fully cured. A good 5 minute epoxy is good to have as well to temporarily tack things in place before you apply the dp-110. If...

    something a bit rugged, perhaps?

    What about a pelican case/otter box with a sealed atty connector and capacitive switch? Northstar makes a ruggedized box that's 4.4x3.05x1.4 that looks promising. Wouldn't be the smallest mod, but it would be able to take a beating as long as all internals are secure, and soldering good, j-std...

    High Voltage to Standard Voltage atty performance

    Have you used the same atty at high voltage, then standard voltage and noticed a difference in performance once returning to standard voltage? If so, please post your experience. Trying to determine whether high voltage can permanently alter atty performance.
