    Longer Battery Life with 5v mod?

    I would say no, for the reasons you stated. Typically, the batteries will push as hard as they will, and you may actually get your voltage regulator to become less reliable when regulating the higher voltage (depending on its design). You could try adding two batteries, creating two stacks in...

    Awesome, thanks Zaija! I wasn't really looking forward to cutting threads in a brass tube/ figuring out what to use for a center positive conductor. Much easier to buy the real deal, especially with no old junk batteries to tear apart! :-)

    Is this about what it should look like?

    I guess that'd be true... as long as the circuit is completed, it won't matter what direction the electrons are flowing :D

    Is this about what it should look like?

    Hi all, thinking of designing my first battery mod, something simple. I have put together a simple wiring diagram, and looking at something like this: Is there a preferred way to get the power from the battery to the atomizer connection, or is this about right? Also I was assuming that the...

    Wow... that sucks. Well, remember that he is male and many of us members of the "unfairer sex" tend to be quite boorish, forgetful, and inconsiderate when it comes to such things, and those of us that are that way would also be fine if others acted the same towards us on fathers' day, Christmas...

    :lol: I know. I skipped right over the first two names, there is a mod out there called the joker... as soon as he said Angus and Elendil I looked back and realized it said j0ker not joker. If he said SunVaporer right away I would have clued in a lot faster. I still would have cracked the joke. ;)

    My soldering iron is right next to me on my workbench. I also have one of these as a hand-me-down from my dad (I remember it's a Weller, IIRC it's pretty similar to this): The only thing I've been considering all night is what I would want to use as a case (has to be tool-less for opening...

    Well, scratch the SB... apparently the switch isn't user-serviceable. I swear, I'm just gonna pick up some batteries, start drawing up some schematics, and build my own. It can't be much harder than building my guitar was.

    Drudge and ecigs

    I think Drudge showed you an e-cig ad for the same reasons weather websites show me where to buy Mustang parts... that reason is Google ;-)

    I was looking at that too, and am leaning towards the SB (though I do wish it came in black). I also wish I could find something a little less pricey ($85 for a metal tube with a switch and a threaded bit? c'mon!) and with a replaceable button (the site doesn't list it, unless it's an almost...

    Hi all, I've been vaping a KR8 for about 4 solid months now, dripping with a 901 atty. I am getting a bit fed up with the inconsistent charging of the batteries (including the pcc), sometimes they work well and sometimes the electrical connection is crap and it stops charging -- this is true...

    Anyone still want to fire-up?

    Yeah that could definitely be part of the problem. Everyone is different, but I smoked just under a pack of full flavor cigs daily, and when I switched I was happiest with 24mg.

    Anyone still want to fire-up?

    Haha I did the same thing after a whole week without analogs... to the OP, just don't stress about it, if you need a smoke, have one -- just try to kill the craving with vaping first. That's what I did, anyway. It took about a week before I ditched the cigs, and then I went without them for a...

    why can’t a non-smoker vape?

    OMG why didn't I see this before?! It all makes sense now! :lol:

    Shampoo Failure

    Every once in a while my girlfriend will complain about something to do with her hair... and I will be reminded how glad I am that the most maintenance I do is run a clipper with guards over it about every other week.

    why can’t a non-smoker vape?

    Actually, I was drinking Mt. Dew long before I took up smoking or drank a beer... so the REAL gateway drug seems to be caffeine ;)

    question about tasty vapor?

    I have to say, after tasting my first few drops of TV pistachio ice cream, it has ruined me on the e-liquids I have been vaping. Anything less is tasting like fog now... and no, it's not just my taste buds. I need to place another order with TV soon.

    Vaping at a concert

    I would just put it in the tray, since it has metal in it. It's not a weapon and it isn't illegal, so they should have no more reason to confiscate it than they would a pack of Marlboros.

    Or simply receiving the press release from some company or organization (like the FDA, for example), and running another entity's advertisement as news. Hey, it's already typed up, in the right format, and everything -- just toss it in the layout and go!
