    Solder directly to battery and pcb?

    Having made my own RC packs in the past, I would say everything above is true. My take on it, batteries fail, and it's not worth the effort. If space is an issue, you can make your own extra-thin connectors out of sheet aluminum from a hobby store (mine came from Hobbytown). The stuff I use is...

    Cheap Chinese e-cigs

    Yeah, as a person who went through severe withdrawals during a week of trying to quit cold turkey, I do find "enjoying the buzz" to be worrisome, and second Lowthudd's post. As far as nicotine goes, at the least it takes a lot more from your wallet than caffeine does (unless you really like...

    So where in the store...

    ...would I find PG USP or VG USP, if they have it? I went out and about today and checked two farm supply stores and neither one had heard of it. If a store has PG or VG, with what stuff would I generally find it in a farm store, pharmacy, or craft store? Thanks for helping a newbie to the...

    TV's Tastyfinger in a LR 901 on my Worst Flashlight Mod Ever. Tasty!

    video says: E-cig makers make these for kids because they make chocolate flavour?

    My comment that I posted. Hoo boy, I don't think it will get approved! Certain lame abbreviations and strange-speak due to youtube's twitter-like comment allowances.

    BETA TEST/The SS Pitbull/4081 extended 250mah batteries

    Thanks, lorikay!... Wait, what? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. :laugh: That said, I have been enjoying a LR 901 on an 18650 that peaks about 4.23 volts with no issues for some time. Though I can see the advantage of less heat for some flavors, and those are some sweet looking batteries!

    BETA TEST/The SS Pitbull/4081 extended 250mah batteries

    Actually, I think it has more to do with females being drawn to bright colors... In humans, this is expressed as being distracted by shiny objects, like diamonds :D

    The worst flashlight to mod ever...

    Tonight, I got a new package of mini-switches and a new soldering iron as the old one still wasn't working right. Looking at new ones in Radio Shack showed me just how worn the tip was, and the set screw was stripped -- I guess they only last about ten years or so. A little while later and it's...

    The worst flashlight to mod ever...

    Well, this is disappointing. On the plus side, I fixed my soldering iron. On the downside, I either can't get a good ground or I have a short when I assemble the whole thing. Time to find a different flashlight to mod... EDIT: I found a few problems with everything as I was checking...

    The worst flashlight to mod ever...

    A lot of cutting and scraping tonight. Got everything done but the soldering, which will have to wait because my soldering iron finally died. Major components, ready for glue/wiring. The top piece is a steel washer I drilled out and etched the top of with a dremel bit so it's less reflective...

    The worst flashlight to mod ever...

    After writing and complaining last night, I found the perfect tool for cleaning the paint out of those pesky threads: a flat, pointed needle file. I'm pretty sure this thing is just painted at this point, anodizing is supposed to be a pretty hard finish. Gotta shop for a switch and a few other...

    The worst flashlight to mod ever...

    Hi all! I got the bug to make another mod, and figured I'd try a tube this time. So, I went to the store and found this 3AAA LED flashlight in the camping section at the walmart: Only problem is, as illustrated by the PCB, the case isn't ground. The switch activates it against the outer...

    Ridiculous article calling E-Cigs a "Scam"!?!

    Maybe he felt the government was getting scammed out of tax dollars by all us mean ol' tax-dodging ex smokers :unsure:

    Ridiculous article calling E-Cigs a "Scam"!?!

    Thanks for that link DC, it is a very well-rounded article written by an honest-to-goodness journalist and not a hack. Though I wonder what happened to that old research study performed by Dr. Robertson and others... Of much interest from page 2:

    Nearing disaster in New York - please take action NOW to prevent e-cigarette ban.

    The FDA has recently showed that they are incapable of keeping e. coli out of produce. Or DEG out of imported toothpaste. Or drugs that don't kill consumers out of pharmacies. In all cases, the suppliers of these goods failed regardless of FDA oversight. With the latter, the failure is approved...

    Do you have energy to defend your VP?

    Based on research involving dissolvables, patches, gum, lozenges, and snuff, I would have to say I am willing to accept that more research can be done, but it has almost been researched to concrete evidence -- which is the best the scientific method can ever technically do for us anyway.

    Do you have energy to defend your VP?

    Exactly. Way I see it, if I am "smoking" with my PV, there is something seriously wrong with the device. :blink:
