    Newbie to DIY (and vaping)

    true as well. When I run out of nic juice, I'll end up buying everything in bulk, which will amount to a total of under a dollar per week of juice. (about 2 mL per day) in addition, the calculator I posted has a handful of recipes included. If you can measure, you can DIY juice :2cool:

    Another 510 Question (think i messed up again)

    I would not worry, just because it is not a Joye 510, doesn't mean it is garbage. as long as it works fine, enjoy it!

    510 Passthrough - More Voltage?

    buy a 5v passthrough and wall adapter rated for 5 volts, 2 amps. you cannot get true 5v vaping from a PC USB port, because the ports are not able to handle the high current draw of the passthrough.

    Newbie to DIY (and vaping)

    go for the gold! seriously, it can be amazingly simple. For some flavors, I just add 20% flavoring, a predetermined amount of VG without nicotine, and another predetermined amount of VG with nicotine. (amounts determined with This, it's a calculator for DIY juice) As far as RY4, The...

    liquids for 6V vaping

    ohms and attys have a direct effect on liquid taste. Chances are, you are burning the juice you are using. That was my experience at 6 volts, 5.5 is about max I could get on a standard atty without burning the juice. If you use a high voltage atty, or cartomizer, you won't have problems with...

    Would you set up shop selling E-Smoking supplies?

    a few coworkers and I were talking about this recently, there is plenty of profit out there, the only thing holding us back is the current litigation. E-cigs are relatively new to my area, and most people I introduce to them are extremely curious. Since picking up vaping, 8 coworkers have...

    Authentic Joye 510 vs Fake Joye 510

    fwiw, quality control, even from joyetech, is a joke. Soldering is substandard, flux everywhere, improper lead tinning. of course, this is coming from a certified j-standard class 3 electronics technician who does mil-spec work, but soldering is so simple that most companies these days have...

    Vaporbomb Owes Money

    was never anything less than 100% satisfied with vaporbomb when I was still ordering juice. Was my sole supplier.

    Varivolt PV (4 selectable voltages, no potentiometer)

    as stated before, straight from the data sheet, the LM317T will provide 2.2 amps if Vin-Vout is less than 20 volts, which it is in our application. Also, specs given are for constant operation, not 3 seconds here, 5 seconds there, like our application. The LM317T will be more than adequate. I've...

    Varivolt PV (4 selectable voltages, no potentiometer)

    certainly would, BUT, can't see myself using that many. It is VERY easily adaptable to do so, for anyone else who might attempt this, just a matter of a bigger block of DIP switches, and a few more resistors.

    Varivolt PV (4 selectable voltages, no potentiometer)

    thought about that as well, but decided I only need 3 voltages. I am, indeed, planning on using a TO-220 package, securing it with DP-190 to the case. TO-220 fits in a battery well inside a 3xAA battery case, tested it at work the other day. The DP-190 should give it more than enough thermal...

    I feel like an idiot vaping in public

    actually got a pseudo-job invite the other night. was vaping at a bar, wife and friends excused themselves to use the bathroom. a couple at the next table waved me over, and asked what I was smoking. Explained it to them (starting to sound like a broken record, give the same speech every...

    Varivolt PV (4 selectable voltages, no potentiometer)

    multisim (SPICE simulator/design software) predicts 6.1 volts with all 3 DIP switches open. http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet2/a/0a5g8w9ft4l5px3509xfla6uksyy.pdf Take a look at maximum output current. It is greater if the voltage differential is less than 15v (some manufacturers are...

    What's For Pet Dinner?

    oh yes they do. the amazing thing is that the cavalier king charles is about 25 lbs lighter than the shepherd/retriever mix, and has never gotten hurt. the mix plays rough, but is as gentle as a ladybug. Even when I rough-house with her, she bites my hands, but only enough to say "got you!"...
