    EverCool Variable Voltage Mod

    Higher voltage models - Pros and Cons

    OP: first of all, a 5v passthrough plugged into a standard USB port on a computer will NOT give you a 5v vape. Reason is that a computer passthrough cannot supply the 1.5+ amps required to power the atty. Sure, it will *work,* but not like a true 5v mod will. To use a passthrough this way, you...

    My very own EverCool Variable!

    i broke mine off too, made jumpers using tinned 24 AWG wire, worked just fine. Can't speak on the resistance issue, never bothered to measure.

    Interesting info about Analogs

    you'd think so, but the sheep majority believe that the FDA, and any other government agency, tell the truth all the time, and agendas do not exist. Look at how many people believe the FDA study that e-cigs are as bad, or worse than analogs. The FDA made sure not to mention that the diethylene...

    complaints and grievances

    When I am driving 35-40 in a 35 zone, and people feel the need to tailgate me, and flash their high beams. I'm already over the speed limit, for ***** sake, slow down. Usually, I force them to slow down, by slowing myself down to 20-25. This only ever seems to happen to me when I am driving...

    Interesting info about Analogs

    propylene glycol is used in fog machines, was briefly used in inhalers. it is also vaporized, and used in hospitals as an antibacterial. The FDA has concluded there is no risk of oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure to PG. All studies on VG have mentioned only possible respiratory or digestive...

    EverCool Variable Voltage Mod

    I'm well aware of this, but having the switches available OTC, so to speak, is a lot more convenient, in case I don't have a spare, and it takes a crap. I ordered everything else at mouser. spent 7 bucks on my last switch (c&k 3 amp, NO from madvapes), and lasted a whopping 1.5 months. Even if...

    EverCool Variable Voltage Mod

    for anyone interested in this, radio shack carries 4 packs of normally closed momentary switches, should make it more convenient when the switch needs replaced.

    My very own EverCool Variable!

    schematic in the original post has a 200 ohm listed. Is this incorrect? Theoretically, if one would cut the value of the pot in half (to 100, or 100k, whichever it is), one could halve the value of the other resistor to accomplish the same thing, correct? If it does turn out to be 200k, I...

    Pieced together my own $122 starter kit...

    FYI, the volcano and blu are IDENTICAL, both L88 style e-cigs. There is absolutely no difference except packaging. they are not a much better product, because, they are exactly the same. If not satisfied, you might be able to return them within 30 days for a refund.

    Whats Better smoke inhalation or Steam Inhalation?

    this would be true if it was steam from reverse osmosis/deionized water with a TDS of <=.1 but vapor isn't. it has additives, and it's the additives that they are questioning. Inhaling radioactive steam is certainly not safe, is it?
